Wani Ardy mempunyai obsesi misteri terhadap kord C. Selain itu, Wani Ardy gemar memuntahkan rasa melalui pensil berbanding pen. Ini kerana, pensil lahir dari kayu, kayu lahir dari pokok, dan pokok itu hidup, sepertimana manusia juga hidup, maka kimia antara keduanya lebih mudah terjalin. OK Wani Ardy licik beralasan. http://waniardy.com

"Sharanya Manivannan is the Sri Lankan womanist poet I've been waiting for - a writer with guts and passion and precision, brave enough to tell all the Sri Lankan women's stories that have been needing to be told for too long. Incredibly fierce!" - Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (Consensual Genocide). http://sharanyamanivannan.blogspot.com/ www.sharanyamanivannan.com

Tshiung Han See got his start in performance poetry at the British Council's now-defunct poetry night Wayang Kata. He has performed at Readings at Seksan's, Pekan Frinjan, Poetry Slam, and Say Goodnight, Twitterverse. His poetry has appeared in the pages of Klue magazine and the British Council poetry chapbook Wellversed. His poetry can also be viewed online at http://hanless.blogspot.com. He hosts the Say Goodnight, Twitteverse open mic night.

Jasmine Low reads short stories she writes and writes short stories of what she reads. http://www.webprojx.com/girl_gungho/story.html

Doppelganger Indie Picks: Y2K (MALAYSIA) meets Superman is Dead (INDONESIA)

Here we go again with Doppelganger Indie Picks. Each time, we select one local and one foreign artiste to share with you. This edition, we are shaking with excitement as we reintroduce two punk acts, both of whom have been around for quite some time. Whilst our Balinese counterpart, Superman is Dead enjoys a fan base of over 5million on Facebook, the other closer to home (we're speaking of Ampang in Kuala Lumpur) has an insignificant amount of but in our opinion, have the promise of being a really really really (as my Italian friend Valentina says) a smashing big band! So the long and short is, the Malaysian band Y2K has been established since the early 2000s and is about to release it's second album. How many albums did Sex Pistols release? Perhaps this article (Sex Pistols' Steve Jones interview: 'We should do a covers album') could be an inspiration to them to reinvent, repackage and just bloody get their band out there more and more and more :P Can...
