Asal nama band (Updated)

The Changcuters

Sejarah Nama Band The Changcuters Nama The Changcuters ini dipilih secara spontan, diambil dari nama seorang teman, tepatnya teman SMP Qibil yaitu Cahya yang nama panggilannya adalah “Cangcut”. Pada awalnya Tria, Qibil dan Dipa serta beberapa teman kuliah mereka sering sekali berfoto ala anak Band, pada suatu hari bertemulah mereka dengan Cahya yang nama panggilannya adalah “Cangcut”.
Tria, Dipa dan teman2 lainnya heran dengan nama panggilan itu.. mereka merasa nama Cangcut tersebut adalah nama yang lucu.. kata2 Cangcut pun jadi panggilan akrab mereka. Karena kejadian-kejadian itulah, akhirnya folder foto mereka yang bergaya anak band tersebut, dinamai dengan Changcuters dan akhirnya ketika Tria, Dipa dan Qibil memutuskan untuk membentuk Sebuah Rock N Roll Band mereka langsung sepakat dengan nama THE CHANGCUTERS

/rif
Grup band ini dibentuk pada tahun 1992 dengan nama Badai Band. Setahun kemudian nama mereka berganti menjadi R.I.F (Rhythm In Freedom), yang memulai dengan bermain musik dari kafe ke kafe. Tahun 1995, mereka berganti nama menjadi /rif (dengan garis miring di awal nama mereka).


Bonbinben
Meluncurkan album baru, grup band Naif berganti nama menjadi Bonbinben. Album baru ini juga sangat berbeda dengan album-album sebelumnya karena album ini berisi lagu anak-anak. Lho?
Untuk merilis album tersebut, David dan kawan-kawan, sengaja berganti nama menjadi Bonbinben. Nama itu untuk membedakan antara Naif dengan album dewasa dan album anak-anak. Bonbinben merupakan singkatan dari Kebon Binatang Band. Beberapa lagu dalam album tersebut diantaranya, Menyanyi Bersama, Ayah dan Ibu, Sedih Hutanku dan Mari Tertawa.

Jamrud
Dulu nama band ini JAM, Setelah itu diubah menjadi Jam Rock. Kemudian karena sesuatu sengketa soal nama dengan personel yang pernah gabung di Jam Rock, maka "JAM ROCK" berubah menjadi "JAMRUD" sampai skarang ini...


Letto
Letto adalah tanpa arti. Itulah pengertian nama band asal Kota Gudeg Yogyakarta.
Meski tak terdefinisi tapi Letto ingin memberikan arti di blantika musik Indonesia.
Hal tersebut diungkapkan vokalis Letto Noe usai manggung di SMA 1 Balikpapan, Minggu (27/8) malam. "Letto itu berarti tanpa arti. Kita juga enggak tahu arti letto," jelas Noe.


Gigi
Inilah nama awal band ini sebelum berubah jadi GIGI. Tak lama mereka memutuskan untuk mengganti nama band mereka. Sempat terlontar nama band "MATAHARI" atau "ORANG UTAN". Tapi karena nama Matahari mirip nama Department Store dan nama Orang Utan lebih mengerikan, maka mereka memutuskan untuk ganti nama lagi. Nama "GIGI" tercetus dari celetukan Budjana ketika melihat giginya Ronald yang sedang tertawa terbahak-bahak. Karena nama GIGI lebih simple dan mudah dingat maka akhirnya nama "GIGI" lah yang terpilih sebagai nama band mereka.



Alexa
Setelah mereka membicarakan konsep musik yang mereka inginkan, mereka akhirnya memilih ALEXA sebagai nama band mereka. "Kenapa ALEXA? Karena kami sepakat untuk memiliki nama band yang biasa dijadikan nama seseorang dan terutama wanita, agar seimbang dengan kami yang cowok semua, seperti konsep yin-yang. Kebetulan dari list yang ada ALEXA adalah yang paling gampang diingat merupakan nama salah satu Dewi di Yunani.


Nidji
Nidji merupakan penyempurnaan nama dari kata NIJI yang diambil dari bahasa Jepang yang berarti pelangi. Para personil telah menyukai dan menyetujui konsep dengan nama itu, karena kata Nidji sangat merefleksikan warna musik mereka yang beragam serta berbeda satu sama lain, namun bias membiaskannya dalam satu warna musik.


Ungu
Nah.....klo anda pengen tahu kenapa mereka pake nama UNGU juga kenapa, karena mereka pengen para penggemarnya gampang untuk mengingat namanya dan cepat menempel di otak, jadinya mereka memberi nama band ini UNGU!, Awalnya mereka dari band yang berbeda, kebetulan sering latihan di studio yang sama dan akhirnya nge-jam bareng. Tapi nggak cuma di studioaja mereka nge-jam bareng, tapi kebawa sampe ke panggung-panggung kecil juga ke acara pensi sekolah. Dan akhirnya terbentuklah band UNGU dibelantika musik Indonesia.


Slank
Slank berdiri desember 1983. dengan nama awal Cikini Stone Complex, dengan beranggotakan, Bimo Setiawan (drum), Boy (gitar), Kiki (gitar), Abi (bas), Uti (vokal), Wel Welly (vokal). Mereka sering membawakan musik2 dari Rolling Stone, idola mereka. Di tengah jalan beberapa dari mereka keluar. karena keuletan Bimbim, panggilan Bimo Setiawan membentuk band lagi dan merubah nama menjadi Red Evil. Dengan formasi Bim2(drum), Bongky (gitar), Kiki (gitar), Denny (bas), Erwan (vokal) dan mereka sudah mulai berani memainkan lagu2 mereka sendiri. Penampilan mereka diatas panggung yang cenderung seadanya dan slenge’an. sehingga para penonton sering menyebut mereka band slenge’an. mulai saat itu nama band mereka berubah menjadi Slank.


Padi 
Sebelum bernama PADI, band ini dulu bernama SODA. Barulah pada tanggal 8 April 1997 mereka mengganti nama band-nya dengan nama PADI. Nama ini dilontarkan pertama kali oleh Yoyok, sang drummer. Selain karena filosofinya semakin berisi semakin merunduk, ibarat makanan pokok mereka menginginkan band ini bisa dinikmati oleh semua orang, mulai dari tukang becak, anak kecil, hingga para eskesuktif berdasi. Meski nama PADI sering dianggap "kampungan", karena dianggap makanan orang susah. Tapi PADI punya makna sangat membumi, di mata mereka PADI juga merupakan lambang kesejahteraan.


Maliq & D’essentials
Asal usul nama : Band ini beranggotakan Angga, Widi, Indah, Jawa, Satrio, Amar, dan Ifa. Lalu siapa itu si Maliq?? Ternyata Maliq itu singkatan dari Instrument Quality .. artinya musik nya di mainkan secara live sementara D’essentials nya Penting. Bagi band ini kualitas yg paling penting.
             
Andra And The Backbone
Andra sendiri sering disebut Dani sebagai tulang punggung nya DEWA 19 karena itu pula, Andra memutuskan memakai nama Backbone untuk bandnya nama Andra sendiri Cuma embel2 supsya org2 tahu band ini milik Andra Ramadhan.
                                              
Yovie & Nuno
Nuno berasal dari kalimat Numero Uno yg berarti nomor satu. band sampingannya mas Yovie Widiyanto yg dulunya memakai kata “The” di depan kata Nuno. Ini terjadi karena Yovie Takut kalau mengira nama Nuno adalah nama orang. Belakangan setelah menggaet Vokalis anyar yg dulu nya gitaris salah satu band Indie lebel di jakarta  Yovie pun menghilangkan kata “The”…dan jadi lah Yovie And Nuno.



Tolololpedia



Have You Known Tolololpedia? Here is a chunk of funny article. Hope You dont make it mind hahaha.. Just For Laugh


360 disebut juga sebagai bilangan korupsi. 360 adalah korban dari korupsi selama beribu tahun dari bilangan yang sesungguhnya. Bilangan asal yang dimaksud adalah 8360. Angka 8 yang dibuang dari 360 ini terbukti ditemukan dalam penggalian arkeologis di Zimbabwe. Pada awalnya para ahli prasejarah mengira kalau angka 8 itu adalah simbol payudara spesies lesbinid (versi feminin dari hominid), mariapithecus ozawakus. Tapi penelitian lebih lanjut menunjukkan kalau spesies ini tidak memiliki payudara non simetris seperti disimbolkan dalam lambang tersebut. Payudara Mariapithecus ozawacus yang fosilnya disebut Miyabi, sangat simetris dan dapat dibuktikan dengan menyabuni, meremas, memainkan bagian putingnya. Dalam pernyataan persnya, sang penemu, Suparman bin Sukarton, membantah adanya usaha sebagian besar tim peneliti untuk bersenggama dengan angka 8 yang baru digali tersebut. Walau begitu, noda sperma yang menempel di angka 8 itu diduga keras merupakan sperma dari Suparman.

Penemuan kalau 360 sebenarnya 8360 merevolusi dunia. Jumlah hari dalam setahun ternyata bukan 360 hari, tapi 8360 hari. Ini berarti umur anda baru tujuh bulan, 10 hari saat melakukan onani pertama kali. Jumlah sudut setengah lingkaran atau sudut lurus juga bukan 360 derajat, tapi 8360 derajat. Pernyataan kalau perbuatan seseorang berubah menjadi sebaliknya, atau istilahnya “berubah 360 derajat” harus diganti menjadi berubah 8360 derajat. Reformasi dalam pengukuran sudut dari 720 derajat dalam satu lingkaran penuh menjadi 25.117 derajat atau dua kali 8360 derajat (ingat setengah lingkaran besarnya 8360 derajat) dilakukan secara resmi oleh Bondan Winarno saat mengukur keliling piring yang akan dicucinya karena ga bisa bayar biaya konsumsi tim supporter, kru TV, para tolololpediawan, dan orang-orang ga jelas termasuk para hantu, jin dan kuntilanak yang ikut hadir dalam acara makan sendirian di restoran milik Barney II.
Sejak itu, setiap akan makan atau mencuci piring berbentuk lingkaran, kita diwajibkan mengukur keliling lingkaran dengan jangka sorong hingga per sejuta mimimeter terdekat.
Untuk penyederhanaan, bilangan 8360 derajat tidak lagi ditulis “delapan ribu tiga ratus enam puluh” tetapi disebut BEGO. Sesuai dengan penampakan dari angka-angka tersebut bila dilihat sebagai huruf.

13 The Lucky Number


In pagan times Friday was the luckiest day of the week, because it was ruled by the planet Venus, the symbol of love and fortune. In fact, Friday is named in honour of Freya, Goddess of Love. But for Christians, Friday has not been a good day. Adam and Eve is said to have eaten the forbidden fruit on a Friday and died on a Friday. Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
For centuries sailors refused to set sail on a Friday. It is told that when the reluctance of seamen to set sail on a Friday had reached such proportions that it interfered with naval operations, the British Admiralty decided to prove once and for all that it is a fallacy. They laid the keel of a new vessel on a Friday, named her H.M.S. Friday, and launched her on a Friday. On her first voyage, setting sail on a Friday, she was commanded by Captain James Friday. She left the harbour and nothing has since been heard of her or her crew. The identical story has also found its place in American lore.
The fear for traveling on a Friday continued until the early 20th century where in Europe bus and train travel was lowest on a Friday. But before you say "Thank Goodness, it's Friday!" consider that, FBI statistics show, most robberies take place on a Friday.

The number 13

It is believed that the fear for the number 13 stems from primitive man being unable to count past 12. Numbers beyond 12 do now have an individual and independent name but are a combination of the first 12 numbers. With 12 being the end of the line, 13 was moving into unknown territory.
In Norse mythology the 13th number led to the death of Baldur, the beloved of the gods. When the 12 gods gathered for a banquet in Valhalla, Loki gatecrashed the party, increasing the number to 13, which led to the death of Baldur. It also happens that in Tarot cards, 13 is called "Death."

The baker's dozen

The "unlucky 13" is the reason why the thirteen loaves that bakers once supplied were never called by the number, but described as "a baker's dozen." The thirteenth loaf was regarded as a special bribe for the devil not to spoil the sale or the bread.

The lucky number 13

But 13 is not unlucky for all. The Mayas worshipped the 13 gods of the upper world. The Aztecs climbed 13 steps to their sacred places. Buddhists paid homage to 13 Buddhas. In Jewish faith, God revealed Himself by 13 attributes of bountiful mercy (Exodus 34: 6-7). The orthodox Jewish prayer book hold the Thirteen Principles of Faith. Jewish boys celebrate their Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
The number 13 in Greek is triskaideka and the fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia.

Tower of Pisa Never Straight

The Leaning Tower of PisaSoon after building started in 1173, the foundation of the Pisa tower settled unevenly. Construction was stopped, and was continued only a 100 year later. It then became visibly clear that the Tower of Pisa is leaning, tilting to the south.
Since regular measuring of the tower began in 1911, the top of the tower has moved 1,2 millimetres (0,05 inch) per year. Today the top of the Tower of Pisa is some 5,3m (17,4 ft) off-centre.

After the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pavia collapsed in 1989, the Consorzio Progetto Torre di Pisa (Tower of Pisa Project Consortium) commissioned engineers to stabilise the Leaning Tower. Because the Tower tilted in different directions in its first years, it is slightly curved, like a banana. Engineers are working on the footing of the Tower rather than the structure, hoping to ease the top back about 20 cm (about 8 inches). But it means that the 800-year old tower will remain leaning.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa stands in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Miracle Square) in the town of Pisa, Italy.
There are 296 steps to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Paperclip

When Johann Vaaler patented his paper clip in 1901, therealready were similar designs on the books. William Middlebrook of Waterbury, Connecticut patented his design in 1899. Cornelius Brosnan of Springfield, Massachusetts patented his Konaclip in 1900.
The paper clipSo, who was first? Well, it is thought to be Johann Vaaler. Drawings of his design date to early 1899, but since Norway had no patent law at the time, he had to seek patent rights in Germany and the US in the following years.
Johann Vaaler was born on 15 March 1866 in Aurskog, Norway. Known as an innovator in his youth, he graduated in electronics, science and mathematics. He was employed by the owner of a invention office when he invented the paperclip in 1899.
Several designs followed the original. Only a few remain, such as the Ideal, Non-Skid, Owl and Gem.
The first double-oval clip, the Gem, was launched in early-1900 by Gem Manufacturing Ltd of England.

The Punakawan

Punakawan is a unique type of character in Indonesian shadow theatre. They generally represent the commoners. The characters of Punakawan indicate various roles, such as the  warrior advisors, the entertainers, social critics, and clowns, a further source of truth and wisdom. In Javanese wayang, the punakawan characters consist of Semar, Gareng, Bagong, and Petruk. In Balinese wayang in the other hand, the character consist of Malen and Merdah (the maids of Pandawa) and Delem and Sangut (the maids of Kurawa)






1. Semar is the care-giver of Pandawa. His name is also Hyang Ismaya. Even though his appearance is so ugly, he has a supernatural ability that is greater than the gods'.







2. Gareng is one of Semar's sons which means he is revered.   Nalagareng cannot speak well; furthermore, whatever he says can be totally wrong. However, he is a very funny and hilarious man. He has been a king of Paranggumiwang and has a name Pandubergola. He was elected to be a king in the name of Dewi Sumbadra. He is so powerful and can only be defeated by Petruk.





3. Bagong means shadow of Semar. When Semar was sent to the earth, the gods stated that his shadow became his friend. Suddenly, his shadow was transformed to be Bagong. Bagong has unique personality: he is assertive and like to pretend to be stupid. He is also so funny.






4. Petruk is Semar's son with the sweet face and smile. He is a smart speaker and a funny man. He likes to ridicule atrocity with his comedy. Petruk has been a king at the state of Ngrancang Kencana and is named Helgeduelbek. In one story, he took the Kalimasada amulet. Nobody can defeat him except Gareng.

  • RSVP




    R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which means "please reply." The person sending the invitation wo­uld like you to tell him or her whether you accept or decline the invitation. That is, will you be coming to the event or not? Etiquette rules followed in most Western cultures require that if you receive a formal, written invitation, you should reply promptly, perhaps that same day. For hosts who are planning a dinner party, a wedding or a reception, this is important from a practical point of view, because they need to know how many people to count on and how much food and drink to buy. More important, though, is the simple courtesy of responding to someone who was nice enough to invite you, even if it is to say that you regret that you will not be able to attend.


    Many wedding invitations come with a response card that you can mail back right away. Other written invitations will carry the host's telephone number so you can call with your reply, although under strict etiquette rules, a written invitation requires a written reply. Nowadays, invitations often carry a "regrets only" notation at the end. That means that the host will count on your being there unless you tell him or her otherwise. Some people even use "R.S.V.P." as a verb, as in "Have you R.S.V.P.ed to that invitation?"

    ­You might wonder why we use the initials of a French phrase in an invitation that is written in English. You could say that the French "invented" etiquette, although that would be a simplification because there have always been rules of courtesy to follow in civilization. In fa­ct, an Italian diplomat, Conte Baldassare Castiglione, wrote the first book about proper behavior among nobility in the 16th century. Many of the practices of Western etiquette, however, came from the French court of King Louis XIV in the late 17th and early 18th c­enturies. At Versailles, his palace, Louis XIV had the rules for court behavior written on what the French referred to as "tic­kets," or "étiquette." The tickets either were signs posted at Versailles or were the invitations issued to court events with the rules of behavior printed on the back; experts give different versions of the origin. And French was the language of refinement and high society through the 19th century in the United States. Judith Martin, the author of etiquette books and a syndicated newspaper columnist known as "Miss Manners," thinks that "R.S.V.P." came about as a polite way of reminding people of something that they should already know: If you receive an invitation, you should reply.

    Air Mendidih




    Pada awal abad ke 18, Anders Celsius mendefiniskan skala suhu berdasarkan mulai mencairnya es dan mulai mendidihnya air yang di masak. Mungkin, sejak SD anda juga sudah tahu jika air mendidih pada suhu 100 drajat celsius, tetapi sebenarnya suhu air mendidih tergantung pada kandungan oksigen dan tekanan udara. Tekanan udara disuatu tempat sangat tergantung pada ketingggian, tekanan udara di atas puncak gunung lebih rendah dari tekanan udara di ketinggian air laut.  
    Dengan asusmsi, kandungan air konstan disetiap tempat (sebenarnya kandungan oksigen tidak terlalu banyak perbedaannya dari suatu tempat ketempat lain), jika anda memasak air di puncak gunung, maka air akan mendidih sebelum suhu 100 drajat celsius. Jika anda sedang naik gunung, mungkin tidak akan begitu masalah ketika anda minum teh dalam kondisi mendidih, tetapi ketika anda turun gunung, JANGAN LUPA ya…jangan minum teh dalam kondisi mendidih. Hal ini nyata lho…rakyak Tibet yang hidup di daerah pegunungan minum air teh yang tengah mendidih,  tetapi banyak orang Tibet yang pindah ke India (daerah lebih rendah) terluka serius krn minum air teh yang mendidih.

    Oxford University



    Did You Know ?
    Oxford University di Inggris didirikan akibat pertengkaran antara seorang raja dan seorang pemimpin keagamaan. Raja Henry II (1133-1189), berseteru dengan Uskup Agung Thomas Becket (1118-1170). Perseteruan itu meluas ketika Raja Perancis ternyata ikut campur dengan mendukung Uskup Becket.

    Untuk menghindari meluasnya pengaruh Perancis, Raja Henry II memerintahkan agar seluruh mahasiswa Inggris dari Universitas Paris dipanggil pulang ke Inggris. Kebanyakan dari mahasiswa yang dipanggil pulang bermukim di kota Oxford. Untuk melanjutkan pendidikan mereka didirikanlah sebuah Unversitas yang kita kenal dengan Oxford University.

    Berapa?



    Did You Know ?
    Berapa lamakah waktu yang diperlukan untuk menghitung dari 1 sampai 1 triliun (1.000.000.000.000) ?

    Sekitar tiap satuan diperlukan waktu 1 detik, maka diperlukan waktu 1 triliun detik, sama dengan 16,67 milyar menit, atau sama dengan 277,78 jam atau sama dengan 11,57 juta hari, atau sama dengan 31.709,79 tahun (tiga puluh satu ribu tujuh ratus sembilan tahun).

    Jadi anda bisa membayangkan berapa lama waktu yang diperlukan untuk menghitung semua uang yang di korupsi oleh para pejabat dan konglomerat Indonesia, yang tingkat korupsinya tertinggi di dunia.

    What is my name?



    Did You Know ?
    Raja Plotonemus II yang memerintah mesir selama 285 sampai 246 SM, memiliki nama asli "Philadephus", yang berarti "Penyanyang Saudara". Namun semasa hidupnya, ia telah membunuh saudara laki-lakinya.

    Penerusnya ternyata tidak lebih baik.

    Raja Plotomeus IV, yang memerintah Mesir dari masa 221-203 MM, memiliki nama asli "Philopator", yang mempunyai arti "Penyanyang Ayah". Namun, semasa hidupnya, Raja Plotomeus IV tersebut telah membunuh ayahnya.
    Jadi apalah arti sebuah nama.

    Hooker



    Did You Know ?
    Istilah "hooker" dalam konotasi pelacur atau wanita penghibur, ternyata berasal dari para prajurit Amerika.

    Saat perang sipil, dikenal seorang Jenderal dari pihak Union(utara) yang bernama Joseph Hooke. Jenderal ini sering membawa wanita-wanita penghibur untuk menemaninya di kota New Orleans sepanjang masa perang sipil. Oleh anak buahnya, wanita-wanita ini diberi nama "Hooker Division".

    Lama kelamaan kata "Division" menghilang, dan akhirnya wanita-wanita dengan profesi seperti demikian mendapat sebutan "hooker" hingga sekarang.
