Well... I did an interview, quiet a while ago, about blogging, collecting Indonesian music etc., came out this week and Dwi Sugiyanto made a nice drawing of me :) Thought it would be nice to post it here:

ReplyDeleteYeah, me too, Bill. Henk, I didn't notice any "translate" button on that site.
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to post an audio of your interview?
You are a superstar, Henk! You deserve great praise and appreciation.
ReplyDeleteisi blognya semakin bagus dan bervariasi. koleksi lagunya pun semakin banyak. saya jadi langganan download lagu2nya untuk bahan video di youtube. 1 channel sudah menghasilkan dolar karena blog pak madroter, khususnya lagu daerah jawa barat / sunda. nanti 2 channel youtube yang lain akan saya optimalkan lagi untuk lagu dari negara lain. mudah2an tidak terbentuk hak cipta sehingga bisa di monetasi. terima kasih pak henk madroter.
ReplyDeletenice! and many thanks! i've been coming here for years and learning so much about indonesian music and also so much a-go-go etc from other places. one of the best blogs ever!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Henk, infinite thanks for all the music you share with us!!!
ReplyDeletethere's no audio, i did this via email and quiet a while back actually, i think it was last december, small part of it where used for another inteview with other collectors here in indonesia, but they people who did it thought it was a very good interview, last week they wrote me, asking if i would mind if they would post much more from that interview (it was a lot longer than what is posted here) and i said, hey! do what you want!
ReplyDeleteDo What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of Law, right :)
And thanks everybody for the kind reactions :)

ReplyDeletespeaking of translation, i know that you upload quite a bit of stuff and that it must be time consuming, but if you could add translations of album and song titles it would greatly enhance enjoyment of this great music. but, if not, no worries. thanks again for all your efforts.
hehehe sure, most of what i post is sundanese and chinese and i don't speak both of those languages :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you're welcome Erasmus, thnks for the translation link!
ReplyDeleteVery funny translation at times by the way :) Ellya Khadam becomes Ellya Wage Earner :) Had a good laugh there! Some parts were rewritten and are not exactly what I was trying to say but I guess the gist of it remains....
ReplyDeleteyeah, sorry about that. google translations can be hilarious.
