G-Dragon's New Single : That XX

I just happened to use my modem tonight and check the youtube. That's when my sleepy eyes suddenly opened. All my exhaustion faded away. This new single really is a great song. (as if there's no other GD's song deseves less than a 'great') The slow melody segues into my mind and refused to go away. The acoustic sound  really gives the 'longing' feeling. 


 That XX is especially attracting a lot of attention because it’s G-Dragon’s first song to be released in an audio format before his album is officially released. In case of “One of a Kind,” its music video was only released.  YG Entertainment has announced that it will request all online music sites to rate “That XX” restricted, taking account of the provocative lyrics of the song. However, the complete lyrics still hard to find at the moment. So i don't really get the entire meaning. 

YG Entertainment wants the intended message of the song, written by G-Dragon, to be directly conveyed to people, so it will release the song, putting an R rating. However, its music video is different. All controversial lyrics will be deleted in the music video. It is to show the music video of “That XX” to more people. YG’s new girl group member Kim Jenny appears in the music video.


GD shows a more 'gentleman' and chivalrous man image than his usual unique and out of box appereances. But still, any style fits him best. Nothing would look bad if GD wears them. 


Anyway, seems like i am the 302nd viewer of this video while its been uploaded in only 4 minutes ago.I cant stay still in waiting for his 2nd album this year. Too bad i wont be able to watch their concert in Jakarta next month because i am studying in a boarding high school and living in dormitory and such. Plus i am having midterm test the week before their concert.Really too bad. I feel like crying with my friends whom always a big fan of BIG BANG.


 This is truly enjoyable. CKECK IT OUT !!!

A Marxist Analysis : Bitcoin as Capitalism’s Latest Fetish of Commodity

Image
Reading into the latest news, almost every financial or economic column I have come across is talking about Bitcoin. Its craze has even spread among my peers who are currently installing their own Bitcoin apps (i.e from Bitcoin.co.id and others) to partake in their own trading, hoping to somehow double their pocket money. Rather than simply talking about Bitcoin as another means of investment and speculation to further accumulate our wealth, in this essay, I’d like to contribute to the discussion by analyzing how does Marx’s theory of commodity fetishism could actually apply in the emergence and also rise of Bitcoin as a form of cryptocurrency. What exactly is this latest technological invention that some economist claim would transform current financial and economic system that we know today?             Firstly, we need to clear up some ontological confusion on what cryptocurrency and bitcoin are. Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency [1] that acts as a digital asset

Perempuan dan Dialog Antar-Agama: Pengalaman Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama (FKUB)

 Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Artikel Jurnal Judul :            The Role of Women in Interreligious Dialogue in Indonesia: A Study on the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) Pen ulis :           Wiwin S. A. Rohmawati         Jurnal:             The Muslim World, 2020 (Vol. 110 Issue 4) Tebal:               16 halaman   Perempuan seringkali tidak mendapat ruang dalam dialog antar-agama. Sekalipun ada, peran perempuan kerap terbatas pada hal-hal yang kurang substantif dan kurang berpengaruh di ranah pembuatan keputusan. Hal ini menyebabkan forum dialog tidak representatif bagi aspirasi dan peran perempuan. Forum dialog maupun upaya binadamai lainnya yang tidak melibatkan   perempuan akhirnya menjadi tidak efektif dalam menciptakan kerukunan di masyarakat. Tokoh agama, pemimpin politik, diplomat, mediator dan peran lainnya dalam upaya binadamai masih banyak didominasi peran dan perspektif laki-laki. Hal ini juga dipengaruhi oleh kedudukan dan privilese laki-laki dal

Meneguhkan Lagi Peran Akal, Kebebasan dan Toleransi: Memperimbangkan Tawaran Mustafa Akyol

 Oleh: Raditya Darningtyas Ringkasan Buku Judul :           Reopening Muslim Minds: A Return to Reason, Freedom, and Tolerance Pen ulis:      Mustafa Akyol             Penerbit:      ST. Martin's Essentials, 2021 Tebal:           v + 298 halaman   Dalam buku ini, Akyol mengulas bagaimana perkembangan sejarah pemikiran Islam berpengaruh pada kemajuan dan kemunduran peradaban Islam. Akyol menjelaskan bahwa sejarah awal islam ditandai oleh kontestasi di antara dua aliran etika yang disebutnya “teori perintah ilahi” dan “teori objektivisme etis”. Aliran etika yang pertama berkembang terutama dalam bentuk Aliran Asy’ariyah, satu aliran teologi Sunni yang menekankan kewenangan mutlak kitab suci dan ulama (sarjana agama). Akyol mengulas bagaimana aliran Asy’ariyah tumbuh menjadi aliran teologi yang dominan dalam sebagian besar sejarah Islam bukan karena kekuatan argumentasinya, tetapi karena dukungan para pemimpin otoritarian kepadanya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kesamaan kepe
