Q and A With 'Life of Pi' Author, Yann Martel

“But I wanted that better story to have something unbelievable about it. I wanted it to get beyond the reasonable and the plausible. BECAUSE every great thing in life — be it religion, love, any ideal — has an element of the unreasonable to it. We are not computers. We need the pull of the unreasonable to get us through life. The island represents that unreasonable element in the first story.”

Jadi pengen baca bukunya juga :<

Kalau kami main dan penonton nyanyi bareng itu yang bikin puas. Kayak ada orang dengerin di Australia. Lagu kami memang nggak terlalu menjual di industri dan kami juga nggak terlalu peduli untuk dapat awards dan tetek bengek industri lainnya. Bagi kami yang berkesan ketika Pure Saturday itu ada yang mengapresiasi dan memiliki makna terhadap band ini. Kayak lagu kami “Elora” tiba-tiba jadi nama orang, terus ada yang pacaran karena lagu kami, edan gitu… maknanya dalam, dibanding awards. Karena itu sentimental banget. Nggak sembarangan, maknanya edan.
Adhi PS, dari sini

Nah, band yang kaya gini nih

Berarti kalian memang berbicara dalan konteks musik, sementara attitude menjadi opsi sekian. Memang image seperti apa sih yang diinginkan oleh Pure Saturday?


Yang pastinya kita ingin orang-orang tahu Pure Saturday dari musiknya. Bukan karena tingkah laku selebritis dan bla… bla… Yah tujuan kita bikin musik jugan bikin karya yang bagus. Kita pingin orang-orang tahu dari musik Pure Saturday yang bagus. Orang-orang lebih respek dengan musik Pure Saturday aja dulu, nah baru orang-orang ‘ngeh’ dengan para personil Pure Saturday. Mungkin para personil Pure Saturday ketinggalan dalam hal attitude bermusik dari band-band baru sekarang.

Tell us some interesting fan encounters.

  • Thom: "Mostly people trying to convert me to God."
  • Jonny: "There's some people who follow him around and say, 'You should use that power you have to spread the word of our Lord Jesus Christ!'"
  • Thom: "And I say, 'I'll spread something else instead.' I had someone come knocking at my door in Oxford. And I was forced to slam it in her face. Because that was the line that was drawn and she went across it..." [laughing]
  • Jonny: "Someone grabbed me, when I was onstage at a Canadian show and said 'Quick, write your name on my arm.' Which wasn't a first, but they showed up at the next show, which was like 300 miles away, which was quite strange. But stranger still was that my name, was sort of, very roughly... didn't even look like my name... they had it tattooed on... permanently."
  • Thom: "There's a lesson there. Always write neatly."
  • Jonny: "Yes, that's a good lesson."
