2009 news fatigue

2009 news fatigue:

Tumenggung terrorist raid
rigged election
ganyang Malaysia!
natural disasters
cicak vs buaya
century scandal
golkar convention
2012 ban
paranoid politics
OMNI International suing Prita
... (please add your own fatiguing news)

the list above implies my renunciation of not only the media, but also the news maker. I keep asking whether there is anything good in this country when I watch TV, and in the end, it leads me to fatigue.

please, please, come hurry the World Cup! I really miss the days when I can sit in front of TV for more than 10 minutes!

I read an article about how people stop listening to new music at the age of 33. "New music" here does not necessarily means new songs; it means a new genre. So, mid thirties and above indeed listen to new songs, as long as it doesn't deviate too far from the genres they listened to in their twenties. This video was published when I was 27, though, when I was busy being an indie-rock snob who thought that only a handful of millennial songs are good. I just found this song recently, when my parenting role has softens me a bid, in a paid music app enjoyed by millennials. It's still an indie song, you know (I can't even find its official clip), and I have known for long that Indonesia's indies are not to be underestimated.
