Sabrina : i love acoustic too


Penggila musik akustik pasti udah familiar banget khan sama Sabrina?! Doi adalah penyanyi akustik asal Filipina yang ga cuma berbakat, tapi juga cantik!Doi sering ngebawain lagu-lagu hits internasional mulai dari yang klasik sampe lagu hip masa kini, kayak Bizzare Love Triangle – Frente, Fixing A Broken Heart – Indecent Obsession, She Will Be Loved – Maroon 5, Take A Bow – Rihanna, Wherever You Will Go – The Calling, California Gurls – Katy Perry, sampe Baby – Justin Bieber!Sabrina sudah mengeluarkan 4 album sejak tahun 2006. Dalam album 'I Love Acoustic Too', sebuah tembang dari Jason Mraz “I’m Yours” membuka sesi akustik kita bersama Sabrina. Gesekan biola dan suara lembut dari Sabrina membuka lagu ini. Jika versi aslinya Mraz membawakannya dengan sangat groovy di lagu ini dia membawakannya cukup tenang dan nyaman untuk didengar.

VW Party On the Beach


Volkswagen Club Tasikmalaya (VECTA) menyelenggarakan acara bernama VW Party On The Beach II pada tanggal 23-24 April 2011 di Pantai Pangandaran.  Ini merupakan kedua kalinya VECTA mengadakan kegiatan ini, setelah sebelumnya kegiatan serupa digelar pada pertengahan tahun 2005 silam.
Tujuan diadakannya kegiatan ini adalah sebagai ajang kumpul penggemar serta keluarga besar VW, selain itu kegiatan ini pun menjadi ajang jual beli. Banyak saya temui secarik kertas bertuliskan “dijual” pada kaca mobil-mobil tersebut . 

VW Party On The Beach II berpusat di Lapang Boulevard Pangandaran dengan tema Lovely Family, Lovely Beach , Lovely VW. Tema ini diangkat karena acara ini memang dibuat sedemikian nyaman dan santai. Bukan hanya penggemar VW saja yang diundang namun beserta keluarga mereka (masing-masing pemilik VW).
Acara ini memang sangat ramai dan dan membuat semarak suasana liburan di pantai selatan kabupaten Ciamis itu. Saya melihat ada beberapa peserta yang datang berasal dari Bali, Makassar dan Lampung dengan membawa mobil VW berbagai tipe seperti Dakota, Kombi, Caravalle, Golf, Beetle, Passat dan lainnya. 

Saya mencoba berbincang dengan beberapa peserta, kebanyakan dari mereka datang ke acara ini selain bertujuan untuk berkumpul bersama para penggemar VW, mereka juga bertujuan untuk hunting mobil. Seperti salah satu penggemar VW yang sengaja datang ke Pangandaran dari Surabaya untuk berburu mobil kegemarannya dengan harapan berjodoh dengan mobil kegemarannya itu.

Surf Culture



Surfing Culture

What do you know about surfing? Well, first of all we knew that surfing is a sport, an extreme sport actually.  Okay, do you think that’s enough? No, not at all. Let’s see the history first, I will tell only the brief history, I don’t want to make you bored about history, I know you got enough about history at school.

According to what I’ve read (hopefully it’s right), surfing first found in Polynesian cultural community, around 1500 BC until 400 AC. Records on written documents shown that these Polynesian people immigrated to Hawaii on the 4th century by sea . Because of their skill and ability to stand on big waves, they managed to arrive at Hawaii and preserved this tradition. Usually their head of the tribe does this sport to show their powers and authorities, and the commoners do it for popularity. The boards they use were very heavy so that not everyone can do it. But with the invention on finding the lighter materials for the board on around year 1940, surfing became favorite sport on various countries like Hawaii, America and Australia.



Around 1950s and 1960s surf culture spread quickly and somehow evolving very fast. What is surf culture? Surf culture is something unexplainable yet somehow understood. It’s includes the people, language, fashion and life surrounding the sport of surfing. The surf culture itself affected fashion, music literature, films, jargon and more. Surfing soon gained popularity among teenagers and Surfer Magazine was published. The Aspects of 1960s surf culture in Southern California where it was popularized including the woodie, bikinis and other beach wear such as board shorts or baggies and surf music.

We’re going to narrow it to the fashion. The surf fashion itself can’t be separated from the lifestyle. Because they affect each other. The lifestyle of surfers invented their own fashions. Identically with the beach, the fashion surely reflected the connection with the surrounding.
Women surfers wear bikinis and the men wear shorts, they prior the comforts, they wear them on everyday life, yet some people take it as a lazy style. Some teenagers who don’t understand wear them just because it looked cool, they wear them as an expression of freedom.

Soon, after surfing getting more popular, lots of those clothes rife with logos and brands and images that may represent the surfers, their fans or people who just adored the product started to wear them too. The surfers fashion itself becomes globally and trending.  Yes, admit it, we always adore those style. We love how the comforts they give when we wore them, we love how they give us confidence, we love them.


But there’s this one thing I should remind you all, back to the surfing itself, it’s not about the clothes we wear, nor the style. You know if you possess the style when you commit yourself to the life. You get drawn to the beach not only for perfect surf. You understand that it is the experience that keeps you alive, that shows your existence. Surfers who come are bound by the hunt for great waves, the desire for the ultimate ride and life around the ocean.






lotsaaa thanks for Ficka for the pics ^^ and mr. photographer Al ... ehehehehhe

Ecletic and Edgy : Agyness Deyn




Agyness Deyn is a hot, young British model who is well on her way to becoming a supermodel. Her short, cropped blond hair which is typically worn in a bed head style is her signature look. Her unusual name was one she adopted to further her modeling career. Her birth name was Laura Hollins. She has moved to New York City for her work and is engaged to a rocker. She is a strikingly beautiful model who has a very unusual sense of fashion.

Dressing like Agyness Deyn means creating an eclectic look. You will need to invest in a variety of things old and new to help create a look that is funky but works at the same time. Her style is very unusual and the press goes back and forth between referring to her as a fashionista and just plain weird. She has a tendency to mix styles, colors, textures and seasons to create a look that is uniquely her own. If you are looking to dress like Agyness Deyn, be prepared for funny looks, comments and have a snappy remark or two ready.


Agyness tends to bounce back and forth between a rather bland mix of colors like black, gray and white and outlandish outfits in shades of purple, red or multi-colored outfits. She also favors bold designs and prints. She is big into layering her clothes and tends to add some item of clothing that has texture to create added interest. When layering, there is often a printed T-shirt somewhere in the mix. She is big into tights, leggings and skinny jeans. She also has a wide variety of different coats for casual wear and even fur ones for special events.
In terms of accessories, Agyness loves them all. Even knee socks make it into her wardrobe. Tights are a staple and are necessary in a variety of colors, though black is most important. Long necklaces are a feature in her accessories.

                                                                                           
                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                          

She is not attached to a big bag like many celebrities, but favors clutches and medium-sized shoulder bags. She will also be seen with big bags in a variety of colors though.

Shoes are always an interesting feature of her outfits, sometimes adding unusual color while other times adding an unusual design. She also likes Dr. Martens and other military style boots. Agyness also has a thing for hats, from fedoras to knit caps, and hoods. She often has her cropped hair covered. Scarves are another fashion accessory she uses often, especially in the winter.

To put the finishing touches on dressing like Agyness Deyn, you can copy her hair and makeup looks. A cropped, bleached blond look is not one that everyone can necessarily pull off though, so give it some consideration before making that change. Her makeup tends to be pale with dark eyes and eyebrows, though is not overdone.

Get started on your Agyness Deyn wardrobe now for an up and coming super model look.

                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                           But the question is, do u dare enough ? LoL

ah, well .. have a nice day ^_^

The Power of Music


Music has the power to cause emotions to well up within us. These feelings are gripping - often irresistible - and seem to emerge from nowhere. These feelings colour our moods, affect our perceptions and generate a behavioural pattern. The indisputable fact about music is its power to evoke emotions. Is there anyone, for whom, music is completely emotional - neutral? Music has the ability to inevitably tap the still, mysterious deep well of our emotions.

However, music can produce various emotional responses in different individuals and even different responses in the same person at different times. Music may produce expressions of various emotions - peaceful, relaxing, exciting, festive, boring, unsettling, unstimulating, invigorating ... and so on.

Music is an extremely versatile medium of communication. It is capable of exploring all the features that are used in verbal communication. Moreover, it does so in an explicit and structured way, which makes it an interesting and useful window into human communication, in general.

The repetition of a line as in a lullaby, the regular beating of a drum - they produce a feeling of physical ease and lull the child to sleep. The rhythmic sound of the train, of waves breaking on the shore, the song of a cricket at night - why, even the electric fan is able to produce a soothing physical quiet. But good music does not stop there. It touches our emotions. True music really far deeper and touches our very soul and leaves its imprint on us. It may not be possible to explain or describe this reaction in ordinary language. It can only be felt. It is one of those mystic experiences, which baffle analytical explanation.

Music is known to endow the listener with aesthetic or intellectual pleasure. It can be simple, complex, subtle, overt - and these features may reside in one of the different aspects of the music e.g. rhythm, melody. Some of the greatness of music however, lies in its holistic nature that all the elements form a unique wholeness which may not be understood by studying the parts separately. However complex, music is readily appreciated by the mind without the need for formal knowledge.

The lay listener may not be able to hear which instruments are playing, or which pitches are used. Yet, he or she may have no problem appreciating the music as a whole. An experienced listener, on the other hand, may be able to transcribe every note, but might still be at a loss to understand why the music is so pleasing to listen to even for the time!

As a performer, I believe that music can recreate emotions and get the listeners involved with my emotions. Any particular music has an inherent emotion. And, there is the emotion that one feels while rendering. Besides, the listener is in an emotional state while listening to that music - which is also important because it could be possible that this will now be linked to the emotional state of the listener. So he or she can use the song to recreate this emotion. Very often we hear people say "This is my song" and feel that special emotion again.
Rhythm and melody are two facets of music that lend themselves to enjoyment in their individual capacities. The experience of beat and rhythm has a simple relation with joy, well-being and even excitement. Babies spontaneously start to rock and move when they hear music with a pronounced beat in a medium or fast tempo. By changing rhythm, we can change the aesthetic appeal of a piece of music. Even a change of tempo can cause variations in the aesthetic appeal.

Similarly, melody, which is the soul of music, can create different types of feelings in listeners. Some melodies bring soulfulness, some sadness, some bring jubilance or tranquility.

Music is created from the heart and moulded by emotion. As musicians, we are inherently creative - so people say - and we have the ability to derive intense pleasure from a particular piece of music, which we listen to or produce. Here, I am referring to an aesthetic experience, which everybody must have felt. Tears of joy, a tug at the heart, goose pimples... True art always comes as an irresistible inner urge. We hear a song of Thyagaraja and are enthralled just as we gaze at a majestic temple or an ancient sculpture with wonder. All such works of art are the result of an inner urge. That is why it is something inherently beautiful.

... And there can be no enjoyment more impersonal and sublimating than what it offers. It prepares the very soul for something higher.

Arctic Monkeys on DSVS


Here we go again, 
with our Music Edition T-Shirt.

This time we bring Arctic Monkeys on our T-Shirt for you to wear. Not only for Guys, Girls can also wear it. It might be just a T-Shirt, but who knows what we can do with it?C'mon, let's get experimental !!
Because, just like music, fashion has no limit and boundaries. 

Well, by the way .. have you heard of Arctic Monkeys? Ah. Of course, you have. LoL.
If you haven't, read below, that's what Wikipedia says about them.


Arctic Monkeys are an Alternative rock band Formed in 2002 the band currently consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jamie Cook (lead guitar, backing vocals), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals), Matt Helders (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Hugo Sarmiento as a touring member (keyboard, guitar, backing vocals). Former members include Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Glyn Jones (lead vocals, rhythm guitar).

Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, released in early 2006, became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, surpassing Kula Shaker's K and remains the fastest-selling debut album for a band in the UK. Since then the band have released two more albums: Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007) and Humbug (2009). The band is currently in the studio, recording their fourth album, expected to be released in 2011.
Arctic Monkeys are heralded as one of the first acts to come to the public attention via the Internet (fan-based sites rather than from the band), with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed.

Listen to Radiohead, Wear DSVS T-Shirt

We love music so much. Who don't ? 
Through music, we can express everything, putting aside all the differences that exist. Just like Plato said, "Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything". 
We're making Music Edition T-Shirt as our form of appreciation and acknowledgement for those Bands and Musicians whom phenomenally making a great impact and influences music industry and movement, like Radiohead.
Radiohead
Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitars, piano), Jonny Greenwood (guitars, keyboards, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitars, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass, synthesisers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).
Radiohead released their first single, "Creep", in 1992. The song was initially unsuccessful, but it became a worldwide hit several months after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead's popularity rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to greater international fame. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienationOK Computer has often been acclaimed as a landmark record of the 1990s.
Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked an evolution in Radiohead's musical style, as the group incorporated experimental electronic music,Krautrockpost-punk and jazz influences. Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of guitar-driven rock, electronics and lyrics inspired by war, was the band's final album for their major record label, EMI. The band's first six albums, released via EMI, had sold more than twenty-five million copies by 2007.Radiohead independently released their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), originally as a digital download for which customers could set their own price, and later in physical form to critical and chart success.
Radiohead's work has appeared in a large number of listener polls and critics' lists. In 2005, Radiohead were ranked number 73 in Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Artists of All Time". While the band's earlier albums were influential on British rock and pop music, musicians in a wide variety of genres have been influenced by their later work.
Among Radiohead members' earliest influences were Queen and Elvis Costellopost-punk acts such as Joy Division and Magazine; and significantly 1980s alternative rock bands such as R.E.M.PixiesThe Smiths and Sonic Youth. By the mid-1990s, Radiohead began to mention an interest in electronic music, especially that of DJ Shadow, which the band cited as an influence on parts of OK Computer. Other influences on the album were Miles Davis and Ennio Morricone, along with 1960s rock groups, such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Jonny Greenwood also cited composer Krzysztof Penderecki as an inspiration on the sound of OK Computer. The electronic style of Kid A and Amnesiac was the result of Thom Yorke's admiration for glitchambient techno and IDM as exemplified by Warp Records artists such as Autechre and Aphex Twin. The jazz of Charles MingusJohn Coltrane, and Miles Davis, and 1970s Krautrock bands such as Can and Neu!, were other major influences during this period. Jonny Greenwood's interest in 20th century classical music also had a role, as the influence of both Penderecki and composer Olivier Messiaen was apparent; for several songs on OK Computer and later albums, Greenwood has played the ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument popularized by Messiaen. While working on Hail to the Thief, Radiohead put renewed emphasis on guitar rock. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and particularly Neil Young were reported sources of inspiration to the band during this period. Since beginning to record In Rainbows, Radiohead members have mentioned a variety of rock, electronic, hip hop and experimental musicians as influences, including BjörkLiarsModeselektor and Spank Rock. (source: wikipedia)
These guys are really rocked us good. We acknowledged this fact, so here we go with our Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood T-Shirt. Grab'em fast, and enjoy their music.
