Singer-songwriter Daniel Powter has recently dropped his music video for single "Next Plane Home" taken from his upcoming album "Under the Radar", which has no fixed release date yet. The video is shot in an open air of hot Lancaster England.

As it is taken in the open field, the video gives a view of blue sky with the singer singing the song in a gray suit. Sometimes, an airplane is displayed, flying around him high on the sky to make various shapes, such as smiling face from its smoke.


Daniel Powter - Next Plane Home Lyrics

I woke up early to baby blue eyes from the afar whoah whoah
and when the sun comes through and lights you like the angel you are whoah whoah
I know I do you wrong when I’m with you I’ve been gone

With every season change, it looks the same (november to june) whoah whoah
And dont these empty streets skip a beat the flowers dont bloom whoah whoah

I can’t believe I missed your birthday again
and I wanna come back but I just don’t know when now

And I’m so lonely your not here with me
That’s why I’m gonna be on the next plane home

The road that never ends around the bend I see your smile whoah whoah
I’d swim across the sea to be with you for a while whoah whoah
cos I’m made a life would be gone
now the way that I feel I just don’t belong

And I’m so lonely you’re not here with me
thats why I’m gonna be on the next plane home
And you’re you’re the only face I wanna see
thats why I’m gonna be on the next plane home

Stand around try to make every moment
and be somebody yeah anybody
it seems the whole world is taking me over
I need somebody to help me get back to it

and I’ve always been a million miles away
but things are gonna change
I just wanna come home

And you’re you’re the only face I wanna see
thats why I gonna be on the next plane home
yeah I’m taking the next plane home
Now I’m getting the next plane home
Now I’m taking the next plane home

[Music] Download David Archuleta Crush

Click this link Below to download David Archuleta Crush Single



The biggest up side of "Crush" is that it proves this year's American Idol runner-up David Archuleta is a capable pop singer. Some worried that his voice would not fit a mainstream tune. Archuleta's voice is easily the best thing here. However, this is cookie cutter, safe, forgettable pop. Hopefully, for the next single David Archuleta's admittedly impressive pipes will be used for a truly worthy song.
Description
  • Written by Jess Cates, Dave Hodges, and Emanuel Kiriakou
  • Produced by Emanuel Kiriakou
  • Released August 2008 by 19 Recordings
Guide Review - David Archuleta - "Crush"
While it was clear this past year on American Idol eventual winner David Cook had a comfortable home waiting on the rock end of the mainstream pop spectrum, the comfortable niche for runner-up David Archuleta was much less obvious. His first single "Crush" proves that Archuleta is easily up to the task of finessing a mainstream pop tune. Warm, inviting vocals pull the listener in here.
Unfortunately, the song itself and production don't do much to fully engage listeners. Music, lyrics and arrangement are predictable. This record promises much but delivers too little.
The reaction to "Crush" has proven that David Archuleta has a strong audience waiting for his music. Initial sales have been strong enough to push the song to a #2 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. This song is unlikely to significantly grow his audience, but it does prove he easily has the sound and chops to be a mainstream pop singer of signficance.

[Music] Jay Chou’s Capricorn review


Today I just get a hold of a copy of Jay Chou’s newest album, Capricorn. It has eleven tracks and a very “unusual” cover. Maybe it’s influenced by his recently magic lesson.

Surprisingly the first track (魔杰座) is quite normal compared to 2 previous albums and I like it a lot. On track three (東方之殿), egyptian like rap song really don’t suite my taste.
東方之殿 is the third track. Not a song that can be enjoyed for me.

Despite of the fourth track position, 紅樓夢中 is a very nice love song like other Jay Chou’s hit.
Track five, “失戀的青蛙” is the icon of the album. Started with dialog and opened with a cowboy style like previous album. The song is an uptempo and have an ambient like a high school performance style with clapping sound. Unique and entertaining.

The best song is track number 6 (失落非主流), really touchy and shiver me when I first hear it.
從新愛, track 7, started with an Er Hu as opening and flowing as background accompaniment with some rap at the interlude. Great song, very suitable for a kung-fu themed movie.

Harmonica dominate the start of track 8 (大灌藍), a duet song. “Bad boy” style. Not very good, just acceptable.

Track 9, 達芬奇的畫布, a med tempo lovely song. Like it.

小丑, track 10, a rap style song with joker’s laugh at the background. Pretty plain and boring.

The last but not the least, 稻香 (Fragrant Rice). It suppose to be the icon of the album. Just OK lah for this track.

Personally, after reviewing these song, 4 out of 5 for this album. Guess If you are a Jay Chou’s fan, you’ll get the album despite of my review.

[Music] 5 Reasons Why the Killers’ Human Music Video Doesn’t Suck

Remember when Killers’ music videos weren’t utterly underwhelming? I miss the thematic tie-ins and cultural references “Mr. Brightside” and “When You Were Young” had. And what about that homoerotic scene when that weird guy in that green fish suit goes to bed with one of , like in “Read My Mind”?
I’m a devout Killers fan, but this just won’t do. I’m sure this video will be considered a classic in 20 years (around the same time people will start appreciating Sam’s Town) — but until then, it’s just Brendon Flowers singing into a boring ole mic, right?
Maybe I’m having some sort of love affair with lists, but I’ve come up with 5 Reasons why ’ new music video for “” doesn’t suck. The complete list and the music video along with some mp3s after the jump

5 Reasons Why Music Video Doesn’t Suck

  1. The Song:” is a marvelous song. It’s lyrically and musically potent and it’s damn catchy. I wouldn’t turn away from the video just to listen to the song.
  2. ’ Moustache: It’s gone! Thank God, too! ’ oddly endearing but somewhat infuriating mustache is gone — hopefully for good. I guess this sort of implies that Brandon’s pretty boy image is coming back from this not-so-manly album?
  3. The Animals: A tiger? A puma? Vultures? My guess is that they’re trying to avenge the death of the countless bunnies that died in the making of ’ jacket.
  4. The Jacket: may have helped usher in the whole guy-liner movement — though Pete Wentz does take most of the credit — but BFlo helped, nonetheless. In more recent times, he’s really spurred on a big Freddie Mercury moustache revival. Now? I think he’s trying to make the whole Dolce & Gabbana, furry hooded jacket thing look cool.
  5. : He makes and he makes this video. Without BFlo’s anti-charisma and convulsive performance, it just wouldn’t feel like a Killers video.

[Music] The Killers "Human" Review

Human - New Single from Day & Age Asks Are They Dancers, or Are They Human


Returning to their dance/ rock/ pop fusion first heard on Hot Fuss for their new album, Day & Age, and the lead single “Human”, The Killers capitalize on their strengths – fast beats, commercial success and strange lyrics.
Teaming up with Stuart Price, who co-wrote and co-produced Madonna’s disc-opus, Confessions on a Dancefloor, “Human” grabs the disco by the balls and hammers home one fantastic track.

The Killers: Human

Destined to conquer the charts and the hearts of clubbers everywhere with its spidery beat, “Human” mixes 80’s style synths and sleek production, and contains interesting images among all the pulsing grooves and beats, making it one of the band’s most accessible and fun tracks in a while.
Lead singer Brandon Flowers ploughs through a grocery list of qualities that he has had to let go of including “grace and virtue”. “Give my regards to soul and romance,” Flowers wanes, “they always did the best they could / And so long to devotion, you taught me everything I know”.
With their jump-out-of-the-box dance single “Human” The Killers mark their return to the dance floor in a big way and give cause to believe Day & Age could be a heavy-hitting singles laden album to finish off what has already been a big year for great dance/pop music.

The Killers – From Sam’s Town to Sawdust

New Wave revivalists The Killers, murdered the music scene in a big way with their mega hit album Hot Fuss from 2004. That album clogged the charts with multiple hits including “Mr. Brightside” and “Smile Like You Mean it” and became MTV and radio staples for nearly two years.
Follow up album Sam’s Town, toured the group though a misguided road trip of Middle America. The album fared less well, since the steam the band had built as the new Duran Duran fizzled when they became the sons of Bruce Springsteen. Still Sam’s Town held a few bright spots including remixes of “When You Were Young” and the brilliant remix of “Read My Mind” by the Pet Shop Boys, who have included their interpretation on their latest album, Disco 4. New single “Human” follows in these footsteps.
By Christmas 2007 the band released an album of rarities and B-sides, Sawdust, including the morbid single “Tranquilize” which paired them with none other than the gloomy Lou Reed. The murky track, which could be compared to the teaming of Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave, became a minor UK hit alongside the independent Christmas single, the uplifting “Don’t Shoot Me Santa”, which may have been inspired by their road trip through middle America during the holiday season.
“Human” is available now. The new Killers album Day & Age is released on November 25.

[FYI] Barack Obama`s Stepdad (Lolo Soetoro) is indonesian



Born August 4, 1961 (1961-08-04) (age 47)

Early life and career

Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., a black Kenyan of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a white American from Wichita, Kansas. His parents met while attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was a foreign student. They separated when he was two years old and later divorced. Obama's father returned to Kenya and saw his son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982. After her divorce, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old. He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979. Obama's mother returned to Hawaii in 1972 for several years and then back to Indonesia for her fieldwork. She died of ovarian cancer in 1995. As an adult Obama admitted that during high school he used marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol, which he described at the 2008 Civil Forum on the Presidency as his greatest moral failure.

Lolo Soetoro

Lolo Soetoro (c. 1936–1987) was the stepfather of Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the 2008 Democratic candidate for President of the United States. He was a native of Indonesia.
During the Indonesian National Revolution (c. 1946) when Indonesia won independence from the Dutch, Soetoro's father and eldest brother were killed, after which the Dutch army burned down the family's home. Soetoro fled with his mother into the countryside to survive.
He met Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, when they were both students at the University of Hawaii. Around 1966 Soetoro and Dunham married and Soetoro returned to Indonesia when it called home its citizens who were studying abroad. About a year later,  Dunham and her six-year-old son Barack Obama followed Soetoro back to Indonesia, where the family took up residence in Menteng Dalam, Jakarta. In 1970 Soetoro and Dunham had a daughter, Maya Kassandra Soetoro-Ng (born Maya Soetoro).
After returning to Indonesia, Soetoro first worked for the army as a geologist and then took a job as a government relations consultant with Mobil Oil.[4][5][6] Obama describes Soetoro as well-mannered, even-tempered, and easy with people. He writes that Soetoro was physically short, good looking, and brown with black hair. He describes the struggles he perceived Soetoro had to deal with after he returned to Indonesia from Hawaii.
During their years together in Indonesia, Dunham became increasingly interested in the country's culture, while Soetoro became more Western in his outlook. Ann Dunham left Soetoro in 1972, returning to Hawaii and reuniting with her son, who had returned from Indonesia in 1971 to attend school. Soetoro and Dunham saw each other periodically in the 1970s but did not live together again. They were divorced in 1980.
According to a 2007 Chicago Tribune article, "Soetoro was much more of a free spirit than a devout Muslim, according to former friends and neighbors." Soetoro was Muslim; in a general way. Islam is the religion of a majority of Indonesians. His wife, however, did not hold the same beliefs.
According to his nephew, Lolo "loved drinking, was a smart and warm person, the naughtiest one in the family."[citation needed] Soetoro died of a liver ailment in 1987 at age 51.

[FACT] Tokoh-Tokoh Asli Dalam Laskar Pelangi


Temen-temen....Pada uda nonton Laskar Pelangi kan??nah...pasti penasaran kan ama tokoh-tokohnya..
gw ada foto-foto tokoh aslinya yang gw comot dari forum KASKUS...silahkan si lihat-lihat dan di comment deh..sorry ya kalau ga jelas..  ^^
 
 

  • 10 anggota laskar pelangi.
Dari kiri (berdiri) Lintang, Samson, Trapani, Sahara, Kucai, Syahdan, Harun, A Kiong - Dari kiri 
(jongkok) Mahar, Ikal.

  • Bu Muslimah
 
  • Akiong
 
  • Mahar
 
  • Kucai
 
  • Samson
 
  • Syahdan (Nama kampus gw nih :p)

 
  • Harun

Sedikit kisah tentang tokoh-tokoh diatas 
Ikal
Tokoh 'aku' dalam cerita ini. Ikal yang selalu menjadi peringkat kedua memiliki teman sebangku bernama Lintang, yang merupakan anak terpintar dalam Laskar Pelangi. Ia berminat pada sastra, terlihat dari kesehariannya yang senang menulis puisi. Ia menyukai A Ling, sepupu dari A Kiong, yang ditemuinya pertama kali di sebuah toko kelontong bernama Toko Sinar Harapan. Pada akhirnya hubungan mereka berdua terpaksa berakhir oleh jarak akibat kepergian A Ling ke Jakarta untuk menemani bibinya.

Lintang
Teman sebangku Ikal yang luar biasa jenius. Ayahnya bekerja sebagai nelayan miskin yang tidak memiliki perahu dan harus menanggung kehidupan 14 jiwa anggota keluarga. Lintang telah menunjukkan minat besar untuk bersekolah semenjak hari pertama berada disekolah. Ia selalu aktif didalam kelas dan memiliki cita-cita sebagai ahli matematika. Sekalipun ia luar biasa pintar, pria kecil berambut merah ikal ini pernah salah membawa peralatan sekolahnya. Cita-citanya terpaksa ditinggalkan agar ia dapat bekerja untuk membiayai kebutuhan hidup keluarganya semenjak ayahnya meninggal.

Sahara
Satu-satunya gadis dalam anggota Laskar Pelangi. Sahara adalah gadis keras kepala berpendirian kuat yang sangat patuh kepada agama. Ia adalah gadis yang ramah dan pandai, ia baik kepada siapa saja kecuali pada A Kiong yang semenjak mereka masuk sekolah sudah ia basahi dengan air dalam termosnya.

Mahar
Pria tampan bertubuh kurus ini memiliki bakat dan minat besar pada seni. Pertama kali diketahui ketika tanpa sengaja Bu Muslimah menunjuknya untuk bernyanyi di depan kelas saat pelajaran seni suara. Pria yang menyenangi okultisme ini sering dipojokkan teman-temannya. Ketika dewasa, Mahar sempat menganggur menunggu nasib menyapanya karena tak bisa ke manapun lantaran ibunya yang sakit-sakitan. Akan tetapi, nasib baik menyapanya dan ia diajak petinggi untuk membuat dokumentasi permainan anak tradisional setelah membaca artikel yang ia tulis di sebuah majalah, dan akhirnya ia berhasil meluncurkan sebuah novel tentang persahabatan.

A Kiong
Anak Hokian. Keturunan Tionghoa ini adalah pengikut sejati Mahar sejak kelas satu. Baginya Mahar adalah suhunya yang agung. Kendatipun pria kecil ini berwajah buruk rupa, ia memiliki rasa persahabatan yang tinggi dan baik hati, serta suka menolong pada siapapun kecuali Sahara. Namun, meski mereka selalu bertengkar, ternyata mereka berdua saling mencintai satu sama lain.

Syahdan
Anak nelayan yang ceria ini tak pernah menonjol. Kalau ada apa-apa dia pasti yang paling tidak diperhatikan. Misalnya ketika bermain sandiwara, Syahdan hanya kedapatan jadi tukang kipas putri dan itupun masih banyak kesalahannya. Syahdan adalah saksi cinta pertama Ikal, ia dan Ikal bertugas membeli kapur di Toko Sinar Harapan semenjak Ikal jatuh cinta pada A Ling. Syahdan ternyata memiliki cita-cita yang tidak pernah terbayang oleh Laskar Pelangi lainnya yaitu menjadi aktor. Dengan bekerja keras pada akhirna dia menjadi aktor sungguhan meski hanya mendapatkan peran kecil seperti tuyul atau jin… Setelah bosan, ia pergi dan kursus komputer. Setelah itu ia berhasil menjadi network designer.

Kucai
Ketua kelas sepanjang generasi sekolah Laskar Pelangi. Ia menderita rabun jauh karena kurang gizi dan penglihatannya melenceng 20 derajat, sehingga jika ia menatap marah ke arah Borek, maka akan terlihat ia sedang memperhatikan Trapani. Laki-laki ini sejak kecil terlihat bisa menjadi politikus dan akhirnya diwujudkan ketika ia dewasa menjadi ketua fraksi di DPRD Belitong.

Borek
Pria besar maniak otot. Borek selalu menjaga citranya sebagai laki-laki macho. Ketika dewasa ia menjadi kuli di toko milik A Kiong dan Sahara.

Trapani
Pria tampan yang pandai dan baik hati ini sangat mencintai ibunya. Apapun yang ia lakukan harus selalu didampingi ibunya, seperti misalnya ketika mereka akan tampil sebagai band yang dikomando oleh Mahar, ia tidak mau tampil jika tak ditonton ibunya. Cowok yang bercita-cita menjadi guru ini akhirnya berakhir di rumah sakit jiwa karena ketergantungannya terhadap ibunya.

Harun
Pria yang memiliki keterbelakangan mental ini memulai sekolah dasar ketika ia berumur 15 tahun. Laki-laki jenaka ini senantiasa bercerita tentang kucingnya yang berbelang tiga dan melahirkan tiga anak yang masing-masing berbelang tiga pada tanggal tiga kepada Sahara dan senang sekali menanyakan kapan libur lebaran pada Bu Muslimah. Ia menyetor 3 buah botol kecap ketika disuruh mengumpulkan karya seni kelas enam.

Tokoh-tokoh Lain

Bu Muslimah
Nama lengkap N.A. Musimah Hafsari Hamid binti K.A. Abdul Hamid. Dia adalah Ibunda Guru bagi Laskar Pelangi. Wanita lembut ini adalah pengajar pertama Laskar Pelangi dan merupakan guru yang paling berharga bagi mereka.

Pak Harfan
Nama lengkap K.A. Harfan Efendy Noor bin K.A. Fadillah Zein Noor. Kepala sekolah dari sekolah Muhammadiyah. Ia adalah orang yang sangat baik hati dan penyabar meski murid-murid awalnya takut melihatnya.

Flo
Nama aslina adalah Floriana, seorang anak tomboi yang berasal dari keluarga kaya. Dia merupakan murid pindahan dari sekolah PN yang kaya dan sekaligus tokoh terakhir yang muncul sebagai bagian dari laskar pelangi. Awal pertama kali masuk sekolah, ia sempat membuat kekacauan dengan mengambil alih tempat duduk Trapani sehingga Trapani yang malang terpaksa tergusur. Ia melakukannya dengan alasan ingin duduk di sebelah Mahar dan tak mau didebat.

A Ling
Cinta pertama Ikal yang merupakan saudara sepupu A Kiong. A Ling yang cantik dan tegas ini terpaksa berpisah dengan Ikal karena harus menemani bibinya yang tinggal sendiri.

[MOVIE] Body of Lies


Body of Lies is a 2008 American thriller film adaptation of the novel of the same name by David Ignatius about a CIA operative who goes to Jordan to track a high-ranking terrorist. The film is directed by Ridley Scott, director of American Gangster and Black Hawk Down, written by William Monahan, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani and Australian actor Vince Colosimo. Production took place in Washington D.C. and Morocco. Body of Lies was released in the United States on October 10, 2008.

Plot

Roger Ferris (Dicaprio) is a CIA operative in Iraq who is trying to track down Al Salim. His partner is killed in a car blast and he is sent to Jordan. Ed Hoffman (Crowe) keeps track of his progress and spies on Ferris via Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. In Jordan, Ferris meets Hani Salaam, head of the Jordanian General Intelligence Department, or GID. Hani tells Ferris to never lie to him. Hoffman finds an Al Salim safehouse in Jordan and Ferris is hired to spy on it. Hoffman, however, hires someone else to aide Ferris without Ferris' consent. Ferris then accuses Hoffman of running "side operations" and tells Hoffman to lay off. Ferris chases down someone from the safe house and is bitten by dogs in the process. While in the hospital he meets Aisha, a nurse and he falls in love with her. Meanwhile Hoffman has Ferris' partner follow one of Hani's men in Al Salim's group. Ferris' partner is caught and Hani blames Ferris because Hani's man lit fire to a building with vital information. Hani tells Ferris to leave Jordan. Ferris comes back to the States for a while and tells Hoffman of a plan of making a fake terrorist in order to make contact with Al Salim. They frame an architect named Omar Sadiki. Hani tells Ferris to come back to Jordan because he knows that he needs Ferris. While Ferris is back in Jordan, Sadiki is kidnapped by Al Salim. Salim gets information from Sadiki about Ferris and he then kills Sadiki. Hani then pretends to kidnap Aisha in order to make Ferris think it was Al Salim. Hani knew Ferris would go looking for Salim, and when he found him they can take him down. However Ferris doesn't know this. Hani then has Ferris picked up by one of his men in Al Salim's group (again Ferris doesn't know it is really Hani's men) and Ferris is taken to Al Salim. Salim tries to make Ferris talk, and severs two fingers in the process, but it does not work. Right before killing him, Hani's men come in and kill all of Al Salim's men, saving Ferris. In the end Ferris tells Hoffman that he quits and lives in Jordan with Aisha.

Joined by the rest of their Wildcat friends, including Sharpay Evans, Ryan Evans, Chad Danforth, and Taylor McKessie they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.

Casting

An international casting call went out to find three new "Wildcats" sophomores, though it was later revealed they would be freshmen. This resulted in the casting of Matt Prokop, Justin Martin, and Jemma McKenzie-Brown. Director Kenny Ortega commented that the new cast members seemed to bring an overall positive atmosphere to the cast, crew, and production as a whole. McKenzie-Brown's character was originally reported to be named "Tiara Goal", though EW.com later confirmed her name was "Tiara Gold". McKenzie-Brown is not the only member of the new cast to have their characters name changed as Martin's character had originally reported to be named "Donny Fox", though it was later changed to "Donny Dion".
