ANANG ARDIANSYAH & ORKES IRAMA DAERAH KALIMANTAN RINDANG BANUA - PANDAN ARUM

Fantastic record from the great Maestro Anang Ardiansyah and his Orkes Irama Daerah Kalimantan "Rindang Banua".... With his great song Paris Barantai. Quiet a few pops and cracks on this one, but if you like Oslan Husein and that swinging Sumatran Mambo, you're going to love this one! Changed the link for a mediafire link, fingers crossed!!!!

GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT? BY GARY FROM http://bodegapop.blogspot.com

Gary from bodegapop.blogspot.com commented in the last post and let me know what he had written in his last post. I love what he wrote so much that I just have to post it here:

It's hard to measure the full impact of the FBI shutdown of Megaupload. The site was responsible for a reported 4% of all internet traffic, with millions of registered, paying users happily up- and downloading everything from wedding pics to the complete Lady Gaga discography.

God knows how many of them were trafficking in crappy Hollywood films or dreck like the latest Chris Brown or Adele. All shit that will be footnotes some day in some knowing culture studies textbook look-back on the early part of this inglorious century, but otherwise forgotten, and thankfully so. As far as I'm concerned, people who up- or download any of that sludge should definitely be fined or sent to jail ... but not for copyright violation. They should be fined or sent to jail for disseminating the corporate roach-vomit that constitutes most of contemporary American pop culture. You don't even want to know what I think should be done to the people who create or publish that shit.


But, seriously. Should Britain have allowed Iran to extradite Salman Rushdie for his blasphemous Satanic Verses? Because that's basically what we're looking at here. One culture's laws trumping everyone else's.

That said, I'm not here to argue in Kim Dotcom's defense. I'm here to lament the loss of countless music blogs, the loss of the communities they fostered, the loss of the evidence of otherwise forgotten expressive culture(s) that they brought to the surface and shared.


Most notably, Owl Qaeda's Holy Warbles, which first had its Megaupload content stolen by the FBI action. As if that weren't enough, no doubt freaking out over the Megaupload action, Blogger simply shut his blog down, claiming multiple instances of copyright infringement. Of--we should be clear--expressive cultural artifacts that were either long out of print (and never to be reprinted) or so obscure as to be readily unavailable to anyone whose head is not a giant interactive encyclopedia.


The last thing I downloaded from HW was a rare, completely out of print album by Marie Jubran, a Syrian artist who recorded mostly during the 50s I think and who doesn't even have so much as an English-language Wikipedia page. I have a lot of Arabic music from the period and a couple of related books, and I'd never even heard of her before visiting Holy Warbles. That is the sort of thing we're talking about. Gone now. Not just the music, mind you, which is lovely. But an artifact that is now once again unavailable for, say, anyone studying the region and period.


Holy Warbles, and blogs like it, are--for all intents and purposes--libraries. That, really, is their function. Libraries that store things that not even the NYPL or Queens Borough Public Library have. (I should know; I've ransacked both for their CD and other media collections, which I--yes, you guessed it--immediately download to my computer. Will the FBI be visiting our libraries next?)


Another casualty in the FBI's completely unethical shut-down: Madrotter. Run by Henk, a self-described "Dutch guy living in Bandung since 1996," the site links to, or used to link to, some 2,000 out of print Indonesian records. Henk isn't giving up. "As long as I can find an upload service that still works Imma keep giving you people great music," he writes in a recent post. Again, not just great music, but a library. A library that was being accessed by more than 40,000 people a month.

The carnage hardly ends there. The wildly popular Mutant Sounds and Global Grooves were both significantly spavined as well. Then, there's my absolute favorite music blog of all time: The Vault: Japanese Music Junkies Unite, a semi-collaborative blog that housed more than 5,000 Japanese records and tapes, most completely out of print, was also more-or-less wiped off the map. In a very real sense, it's like the Library of Alexandria burning down x 1,000. Or 10,000. No one really knows.


And this, we must assume, is just the beginning. How long before Awesome Tapes from Africa, Moroccan Tape Stash or Monrakplengthai are wiped out as well? Again, we're not talking about shit you throw onto your iPod before heading off to the gym; this is serious cultural evidence. These are, I can't stress it enough, libraries. And thoughtless, good-for-nothing corporate asswipes who supply rat-diarrhea-producing mental aphids like the members of MGMT and Bright Eyes with, like, cocaine-spending money are, essentially, destroying them.

As Lily Tomlin once put it: "I resent losing the ozone just so we can have PAM."

Other than coming up with some sort of action, some sort of plan, that's really all there is to say.

NO, NO, SORRY BUT.....NO

People keep asking for re-uploads and i will say it again, I am not re-uploading anything till things become more clear, it doesn't matter if it's a link from 2 years ago or a link from last week.....

Like MAX KEISER, one of the few people on tv that are talking the truth said this week:

ORKES MELAYU BOB GELDOP - 20 NON STOP DANGDUT

Well, like I said, I'm not going to let the recent megaupload disaster stop me from blogging. Right now deposit files is the only uploader I can get to work here. It's slow, this cassette took nearly 8 hours to upload so there will be fewer posts I guess. I'm letting everything as it is on this blog for now, you never know, I might delete everything only to find all the links alive again the next day....

Anyways, here's a funny one, In Indonesian language the F becomes a P, so here's the Orkes Melayu Bob Geldop with a whole bunch of Indonesian and Western hits played non-stop....

http://depositfiles.com/files/3g0sf1z1a

Enjoy!!!

BAD TIMES, SAD TIMES.....

Well, I guess about 90%, maybe even more of this blog has been wiped out because of the actions of the copywrong nazi-bastards. Not much I can do about it now, just hope that somehow Megaupload manages to fight off these bastards. I'm not saying that I will just lie down and give up, I'll have this blog running, somehow, someway. I'm trying to upload stuff as I write this but Multiupload doesn't work here, other uploaders don't work either. Maybe because of heavy traffic, maybe because of the shitty Indonesian connection, I don't know.... So again, there's no use in asking for re-uploads, A. it's out of my hands at the moment, B. try re-uploading some 1500 albums and C. I wanna be sure about what I'm doing, any uploader could be next the way things are going now....

In the mean time I'll keep trying to upload stuff, I'll keep reading, trying to find out alternatives....

These are sad and bad times for all us music-lovers......

NO MORE MEGAUPLOAD:(

This is bad.....

UPDATE, Thursday 1/19/12: Following a two-year investigation, the FBI has shut down popular file-sharing site MegaUpload, charging seven people with online piracy crimes and arresting four of those charged in New Zealand.

Already engaged in a legal battle with Universal Music Group over a UMG artist-featuring promotional video, the company is now accused of costing copyright holders $500 million in lost revenue. The indictment against the company, opened today in Virginia, calls the company “a worldwide criminal organization whose members engaged in criminal copyright infringement and money laundering on a massive scale.”

The site is now offline

Now I've been using multiupload and lots of the links, only megaupload still works. Please don't go asking me to re-upload loads of albums 'cause I won't, too much work and the connection is terrible....

Seems they don't need SOPA for their bullshit, who knows how long before they're closing down (all) other uploadservices....

This is BAD....

BECKY WILSON & NANO S. - KASMARAN

In 1991 Becky Wilson and her husband Bruce E. Wilson came from Chicago to Bandung and they studied Bahasa Indonesia at Unpad University. She made this cassette together with the great, late Nano S. and she's singing Sundanese songs. I have to say, she's very, very good, you wouldn't think this is a foreigner singing.... My friend and fellow music-lover Andrew Timar corresponded with her for a while a few years back and he says she actually made a few cassettes. If you like Pop Sunda, this is great stuff!!!!

YAYAH RATNASARI & KARAWANG GROUP - DAUN SORGA

Quiet a while back I posted a cassette from Yayah Ratnasari and the Karawang Group called Break Pong. Beautiful jaipong where they were experimenting with drum computers and hip hop beats. Here's another cassette like that that came out in 1985, just check out the first three songs, Gara-Kumpul Kebo, Daun Sorga and Gara-Gara Break-Dance where they're at it again, it makes for some incredibly beautiful music and I'm very, very happy I got my hands on this one, I've been looking for this stuff for years!
I plan to re-post the Break Pong cassette again also in a better bit-rate soon....
