JACK JOHNSON #2 - WPAP BY TONI AGUSTIAN

WPAP INFO WPAP TITLE: JACK JOHNSON #2 CREATOR: TONI AGUSTIAN CREATED DATE: 2010-08-30 SOFTWARE: COREL DRAW X5 PORTABLE CREATOR COMMENTARY : ALWAYS LOVE HIM AND HIS SONG. REALLY RELAXING AND BEAUTIFUL LYRICS.. I ESPECIALLY LOVE “TALK OF THE TOWN” SO MUCH… Jack Hody Johnson (born May 18, 1975) is a singer-songwriter, surfer, filmmaker and musician known for his work in the soft rock and acoustic genres. In 2001, he achieved commercial success after the release of his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales. He has since released four more albums, a number of EPs and surfing movies/soundtracks. He is also known for organizing an annual event, the Kōkua Festival. He currently has sold 8 million albums worldwide. His highest–selling album is Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George, with 4 million albums shipped worldwide, due to the success of the 2006 Curious George film. He resides in Hawaii. Johnson was born and raised on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The son of well-known surfer Jeff Johnson, he took an interest in the sport from a young age - he began surfing at the age of 5. At 17, he became the youngest invitee to make the surfing finals at the Pipeline Masters on Oahu's north shore. One week later, however, his brief stint as a professional surfer ended when he suffered a surfing accident at the Pipeline that put over 150 stitches in his forehead and knocked a few of his teeth out. Jack Johnson graduated from Kahuku High School on the North Shore of Oahu. He attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, and graduated with a degree in film. While in college, he developed his passion for music, and played rhythm guitar for the party band Soil (not to be confused with the Heavy Metal band Soil). Johnson credits his songwriting influences as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, Otis Redding, G. Love and Special Sauce, Nick Drake, Ben Harper, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Neil Young, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Career Johnson's professional career began after befriending G. Love on a day of surfing. G. Love would later record Johnson's song "Rodeo Clowns" for his 1999 album Philadelphonic. Johnson sang and played on the track, and it became the first single from the album. Johnson then co-directed Thicker Than Water, a documentary surf film released in 2000. He also composed the accompanying soundtrack.   Johnson's four-track music demo soon caught the ear of Ben Harper's producer, J. P. Plunier, who worked with Johnson on his debut album Brushfire Fairytales in early 2001 with Harper and his Weissenborn lap steel guitar making a guest appearance. Brushfire Fairytales was released on February 1, 2001. In 2002, Johnson, along with his wife Kim and friend Emmett Malloy, created Brushfire Records (originally as The Moonshine Conspiracy Records) to release soundtracks for surf films made by The Moonshine Conspiracy (now Woodshed Films), of which Johnson was a part. WPAP INFO WPAP TITLE: JACK JOHNSON #1 ON WHITE  CREATOR: TONI AGUSTIAN CREATED DATE: 2010-05-09 SOFTWARE: COREL DRAW X5 PORTABLE He directed and starred in the surf film The September Sessions, released in December 2002. The soundtrack also featured Johnson. Johnson went back into the studio with Adam Topol (drums, percussion) and Merlo Podlewski (bass), who played on Brushfire Fairytales, and Mario Caldato Jr on production duties, to record his second full-length album On and On. It was the first album to be recorded at Johnson's Mango Tree Studio in Johnson's home town of North Shore, Oahu, and the first to be released through The Moonshine Conspiracy Records. On and On was released on May 6, 2003. Johnson credits most of his inspiration for this album from childhood friend Andrew Brown Johnson starred in the 2004 surf film A Brokedown Melody. In October 2004, Johnson returned to the Mango Tree Studio with Topol and Podlewski along with Zach Gill (of Animal Liberation Orchestra) playing accordion, melodica and piano, to record his follow-up to 2003's On and On. In Between Dreams was released on March 1, 2005. Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George is a soundtrack album by Johnson, released on February 7, 2006. The album also features Adam Topol, Ben Harper, G. Love, Kawika Kahiapo, Matt Costa, Merlo Podlewski and Zach Gill. It was the first soundtrack to make it to number 1 since the Bad Boys II soundtrack in August 2003 and was the first soundtrack for an animated film to top the Billboard 200 since the Pocahontas soundtrack in July 1995. Johnson enlisted J.P. Plunier to produce his fourth full-length studio album, Sleep Through the Static. It was recorded using 100% solar energy at the Solar-Powered Plastic Plant studio in Los Angeles. The album featured Gill (keys), Podlewski (bass) and Topol (drums, percussion). Sleep Through the Static was released on February 1, 2008 and was followed by a world tour. A live album and DVD of Johnson's 2008 world tour, entitled En Concert, was released on October 27, 2009. The DVD was directed by Emmett Malloy.

"We try to raise money for a lot of these groups who are doing positive things in the community. We try to focus mostly on environmental education, just trying to get kids out into nature, supporting local farms and things like that."

MIKE SHINODA – WPAP BY SETO BUJE

WPAP INFO WPAP TITLE: MIKE SHINODA [#3] CREATOR: SETO BUJE CREATED DATE: 2010-08-24 SOFTWARE:

Michael Kenji "Mike" Shinoda (born February 11, 1977) is a musician, record producer, artist, and actor. He is best known as the rapper, songwriter, keyboardist, vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Linkin Park, and as a solo rapper in his side-project, Fort Minor. He also provides artwork, production and mixing for both groups.

Early life

Shinoda was born and raised in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills. His father is Japanese American, and his mother is Russian American. He has a younger brother. Shinoda attended Parkman Elementary and Lindero Canyon Middle School.

WPAP INFO WPAP TITLE: MIKE SHINODA [#2] CREATOR: SETO BUJE RELEASE DATE: 2010-07-20 SOFTWARE:

As per his mother's wishes, Shinoda began his classical piano training with lessons around the age of six, his enthusiasm eventually growing. At the age of thirteen, he expressed the desire to move towards playing jazz, blues, and even hip-hop. During his middle school and high school years, he added the guitar and, eventually, rap-style vocals to his repertoire.
After his teens, Mike Shinoda's rap interests found a source of encouragement in Brad Delson, with whom he started to write and record songs in a makeshift studio set up in his bedroom. Shinoda attended Agoura High School with Linkin Park bandmates Brad Delson and Rob Bourdon as well as with members of the band Hoobastank. By the end of high school, Bourdon had become involved in their musical ventures. The trio formed the band Xero, and began to make a more serious attempt to pursue a career in the music industry.
After high school, Shinoda enrolled in the Art Center College of Design to study graphic design and illustration. It was here that he made the acquaintance of DJ and turntablist Joseph Hahn, who, along with Delson's college-mate Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, was soon added to Xero's line-up. It was also here that he experienced a form of identity crisis. Years later, in an interview he said:

"I think it was probably in college that I realized that there was a difference between Japanese and Japanese-American. That’s important to realize. It’s not the same thing and then eventually with Linkin Park, I toured in Japan. I’ve been there now I think four times. I remember the first time I went, how familiar it seemed, just getting out of the plane, it smelled like my aunt’s house, in the airport, it smelled like Japan. I don’t know if anybody else even noticed it but I walked out of the plane and thought this is definitely familiar to me, didn’t even see anything yet. And then going to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, you just recognize things about the way people act, the small things that people do such as how you’ll grab a piece of paper. There are things that are more obvious like taking somebody’s business card with two hands. You don’t do that in the States. When I saw somebody do that I went, “Oh yeah, my uncle always does that,” you know. There are little things that culturally come from Japan but they also exist in Japanese American culture and it made me feel like the connection was there and I kind of hadn’t realized how much of it was there."

At only 21 years old, Shinoda eventually graduated from college with a degree in illustration, securing himself a job as a graphic designer right after graduation. With his background as a graphic artist, Shinoda has taken it upon himself in designing all of Linkin Park's artwork with Hahn, and has even designed the album cover for Styles of Beyond's debut album, 2000 Fold. In later years he would go on to showcase his art skills; he had his debut art showcase (Diamonds Spades Hearts & Clubs) at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles in the time leading up to Linkin Park's album Minutes to Midnight.

Linkin Park

Shinoda's band (at this point called Linkin Park; used to be called Xero before a legal issue with another band) brought in second vocalist Chester Bennington, replacing Mark Wakefield. From the onset, Shinoda was closely involved in the technical aspects of the band's recordings, and over the subsequent releases that role continued to expand. Shinoda, with guitarist Brad Delson, engineered and produced the band's Hybrid Theory EP, and performed similar roles in the recording of the Hybrid Theory album. Mike executively organized and oversaw the band's remix album Reanimation (2002), contributing his own production remixes that he made in his home studio for "Crawling" and "Pushing Me Away." In his spare time, he produced and performed on a song by The X-Ecutioners entitled "It's Goin' Down."
On the second Linkin Park Warner Bros. studio release Meteora (2003) Shinoda continued to expand upon his duties as a musician and studio technician/engineer. Additionally, for the backbone of the album artwork, Shinoda collaborated with graffiti artist DELTA, graphic designer Frank Maddocks, and band-mate Joe Hahn.
By the release of the Linkin Park and Jay-Z 'mash-up' album Collision Course in 2004, Shinoda's involvement in the creation of the albums continued to grow. He produced and mixed the album, which won a Grammy Award for "best rap / sung collaboration" later that year.
The band released their latest album, Minutes to Midnight, on May 14, 2007. On this album, Shinoda shared a production credit with producer Rick Rubin, overseeing the musical evolution of the band's sound. This album was also the first time that Shinoda, best known for his rapping, sang a featured vocal. Mike sang in the songs "In Between" and the b-side song, "No Roads Left," as well as rapping and singing in the songs "Bleed It Out" and "Hands Held High." Despite the uncommonness of Shinoda-fronted singing tracks, Hit Parader ranked Mike at number 72 of the Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time. Mike and Rick Rubin again shared a production credit for Linkin Park's upcoming album, A Thousand Suns, due for release on September 14, 2010.

Fort Minor

Shinoda formed a side project named "Fort Minor" between 2003 and 2004 because he couldn't demonstrate as much of his hip-hop background in Linkin Park. He explained the name of his project in an interview:

“'Fort' represents the more aggressive side of the music. 'Minor' can mean a few things: if you're talking about music theory, the minor key is darker. I wanted to name the album rather than having my name on the cover, because I want people to focus on the music, not me.”

The debut album from Fort Minor, titled The Rising Tied, was released on November 13, 2005, and includes guest appearances from Styles of Beyond, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Black Thought of The Roots, John Legend, Holly Brook, Jonah Matranga, Celph Titled, and features Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) as an executive producer.
For the NBA 2006-2007 season, "Remember the Name", the second single from The Rising Tied, became the soundtrack for NBA Overtime on TNT. It was an NBA remix version, and remains the staple song for NBA on TNT to this day. Furthermore the Big East used "Remember the Name" as its theme song for the Big East Basketball Tournament in 2006.
He also scored a Top 10 smash with the surprise hit single "Where'd You Go", which peaked at #4 on Billboard Hot 100 chart.
After the release of the album, Shinoda also contributed to the iTunes Store by creating his own celebrity playlist.
Fort Minor won an MTV VMA for "Best Ringtone" in 2006, and was featured in the following films and TV programs (2005–2006): Entourage, Boston Legal, Gridiron Gang, Freedom Writers, Friday Night Lights (TV), and Numbers.
Shinoda has also continued his Fort Minor musical style in an executive producer role on the upcoming Styles Of Beyond album, "Reseda Beach" He is contributing music and vocals to the album, which was slated for release sometime in 2009. However, the album has not been released till date and Styles of Beyond is under hiatus.

Agyness Deyn (born Laura Hollins; 16 February 1983), is an English fashion model, actress and singer. Deyn has been hailed as "the fashion industry's next great supermodel".

Deyn is from Failsworth in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester.^[5][6] The daughter of a nurse, Lorraine, and second of three children she attended All Saints RC High School, as well as Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School and Sixth Form in Waterfoot, Rossendale.

Deyn's name was apparently coined to further her modelling career after she consulted her mother's friend, a numerology expert who advised her of the most 'fortuitous' way to spell the name 'Agnes'. It was reported that her mother Lorraine and sister Emily have both changed their surname to Deyn, while Lorraine has changed the I in her first name to Y.

Deyn's working life started serving part-time aged 13, at a fish and chip shop in Ramsbottom. Even at an early age she had an eye for style and by 17 she had already had her head shaved. "I’ve had short hair since I was 13, and when I was 17, I had a skinhead." In 1999, she won the Rossendale Free Press "Face of '99" competition, aged just 16. She then moved to London, working in a fast-food restaurant during the day and a bar at night but admits: "It didn’t quite work." During this time she says she was also at college in Hull, studying drama and music.

Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait di Era Industri Seni

Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait di Era Industri Seni
Oleh Agus Dermawan T.
Kritikus, penulis buku-buku seni rupa.

---

                       Dalam sebuah diskusi di Taman Ismail Marzuki tahun 1981, pelukis dan penari Bagong Kussudiardja  mengatakan bahwa seorang seniman bisa dianggap besar apabila karyanya menghasilkan “isme”. Yang dimaksud “isme” adalah pemahaman yang diberangkatkan dari keyakinan wacana dan pemikiran. Sebuah “isme” biasanya akan melahirkan pengikut. Dan pengikut akan memunculkan sebuah aliran. Sedangkan sebuah aliran, pada waktunya akan melahirkan sejumlah keyakinan wacana dan pemikiran baru. Keyakinan wacana dan pemikiran baru ini akan menghasilkan sub isme, yang dikemudian hari mungkin akan jadi isme baru.

                       Fakta apa yang dikatakan Bagong Kussudiardja itu memang tercatat dalam sejarah. Affandi adalah pelukis besar, yang kemudian melahirkan Affandisme. Bahkan konon sebagian pelukis akan melewati gaya Affandi sebelum mereka menemukan gayanya sendiri. Begitu pula begitu pula Claude Monet dengan impresionismenya, Picasso dengan kubismenya, Salvador Dali dengan surealismenya, Yue Minjun dengan realisme sinisnya, Basoeki Abdullah dengan realisme romantiknya. Ahmad Sadai dengan abstrak dan abstraksinya. Atau Bagong sendiri dengan koreografi Nusantara-Martha (Graham)nya.

                       Lalu apabila Wedha dengan “pop art portrait”nya kini melahirkan isme, -sebut saja “Wedhaisme”- , apakah sudah waktunya perupa Wedha disebut seniman besar? Tentu kita tidak harus terburu-buru. Meskipun fakta telah menunjukkan bahwa gaya lukisan Wedha sejak dirilis lewat pameran tunggal pada 2008 silam telah melahirkan pengikut begitu banyak. Namun apabila istilah “besar” belum waktunya disandang, maka sebutan “populer” mungkin lebih tepat untuk dikenakan.

                      Keberhasilan Wedha ini cerminan dari upaya perupa kontemporer yang pandai memanfaatkan teknologi informasi modern untuk naik ke langit pembicaraan. Visual karya-karya Wedha yang apik, dengan tentu diimbuh presentasi wacana dan pemikiran, dan dibonusi teknik-teknik pembuatan, diperkenalkan di antaranya lewat FaceBook. Dasi sini kemudian lahir sekumpulan penggemar karya-karya Wedha, yang awalnya dibentuk dalam komunitas deviantart. Yang menarik, dalam komunitas ini Wedha secarta blak-blakan mengajarkan teknik pembuatan karyanya, sehingga bisa diikuti oleh siapa pun yang ingin bergabung dalam barisan Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait ( WPAP).
