No More Watchdog of the Poor

In this edition, we will take you to India, to focus on what role has its vibrant media been playing in addressing the country's most pressing issue - extreme poverty. Once touted as the watchdog of the poor, the Indian media seems to be more concerned with reflecting the lifestyle of the wealthy city dwellers in their coverage. While, hunger and poverty increase in rural areas, they hardly ever make a prominent appearance in the media coverage. With over 400 million Indians living with less than a dollar a day, does the Indian media reflect the issues that are of concern to them?.

[creative-radio] [info] Press Released single "Balerina" Efek Rumah Kaca

 

 
EFEK RUMAH KACA
HIDUP BAGAI "BALERINA"
 
 
Tanggal 15 Juli 2009, Efek Rumah Kaca merilis single ke 3 (tiga) berjudul Balerina. Lagu ini berada pada urutan ke 12 (dua belas) di album Kamar Gelap yaitu album kedua yang didistribusikan oleh Aksara Records. Musik yang dilahirkan oleh band pop independen ini sedang digandrungi anak muda Indonesia, bahkan media pun selalu menyeroti apa yang dilakukan Efek Rumah Kaca. Semua itu memang tercipta atas pemikiran cerdas dan kepekaan Cholil (Gitar & Vokal), Adrian (Bass & Vokal Latar) dan Akbar (Drum & Vokal Latar) terhadap beragam medium yang agak berlebih di zaman ini.
 
Modal pemahaman yang mendalam terhadap banyak persoalan, membuat Efek Rumah Kaca mampu menciptakan lirik yang sejalan dengan harmonisasi musiknya. Bahkan melalui jam terbang panggung yang rutin, mereka kerap bersinggungan dengan potret-potret interaksi kehidupan. Karena semua itu, pemikiran trio ini lantas menjadi cukup tertantang dalam mencari kesimpulannya. Melalui talenta musik yang dihimpun pada akhirnya terjawab sudah pertanyaan tersebut, bahwa untuk mengatasi segala kegelisahan di dunia ternyata kita harus berusaha menjadi seimbang dalam semua hal.
 
Maka lebih lanjut lagi, rangkuman atensi tersebut secara ilustratif dikomunikasikan dengan metafora tarian Balerina sebagai judul lagu. Bagi Efek Rumah Kaca, keanggunan yang terpancar dari titian Balerina mampu mendefinisikan warna-warni ragam perjalanan tanpa harus merinci apapun tujuannya. Hidup bagai Balerina adalah alami dan jauh dari persepsi tak berdaya, karena keseriusan selalu mendominasi proses awal sampai menjadi begitu lenturnya. Lihatlah potongan lirik yang sangat lugas di bawah ini:
 
Berjingkat tidak teratur/ Seperti melantur/ Merendah, meninggi/ Meniti temali...Hidup bagai Balerina..
 
Alur tersebut disuguhkan melalui sebuah komposisi yang diakui Efek Rumah Kaca sebagai karya musik paling ceria dan sederhana selama mereka beralbum. Siapapun yang mendengar lagu Balerina baik di panggung atau hanya mendengar lewat albumnya, maka dipastikan akan hanyut terbawa ke dalam suasana yang tenang dan mengalir sehingga pesan atas liriknya jadi mudah dipahami secara utuh. Nuansa musik yang keluar saat lagu ini dimainkan perlahan mengingatkan kita kembali ke gaya bertutur The Smiths hingga R.E.M yang mengesankan lewat alunan gitar tekstural. Selamat menikmati Balerina dan membagi kebahagiaan kepada siapapun dengan memutar lagu ini di radio anda.

[creative-radio] A California Company Receives Patent for Podcasting

 

VoloMedia, Inc.
800 W. California Ave.
Suite 110
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
408-732-VOLO (8656)

VoloMedia, http://www.volomedia.com/ a podcast analytics, advertising, and
distribution company, just received a patent for "providing episodic
media," including podcasts. According to the company, which filed for the
patent in November 2003, U.S. Patent 7,568,213 covers all episodic media
downloads, not just the RSS-dependent downloads that power today's
podcasts. VoloMedia CEO Murgesh Navar says that the company doesn't plan
to go after individual podcasters, but that the company plans to "work
collaboratively with key participants in the industry." We do wonder,
however, if VoloMedia can really claim to have invented podcasting in
2003, given that the concept was already under development by Dave Winer
and others in late 2000 and early 2001.

The only company mentioned specifically in the announcement is Hulu (as an
example for a content platform that might one day offer episodic,
downloadable content), but in an interview with NewTeeVee's Chris
Albrecht, Navar also revealed that the company is already in talks with
Apple and a number of TV networks.
