Episode Description

Herry Sutresna, Morgue Vanguard, atau Ucok Homicide bukanlah nama yang asing di telinga para pendengar musik hip-hop tanah air. Siapa yang tak mengenal grup legendaris Homicide atau label rekaman Grimloc Records yang kerap merilis album-album independen terbaik di Indonesia. 

Dalam episode Kombur-kombur ke-5 ini, Ucok tidak hanya mengulas berbagai aspek dalam kehidupannya, tapi juga nilai-nilai yang ia senantiasa pegang teguh. Mulai dari sejarah bagaimana Public Enemy membentuk kesadarannya dalam berpolitik, pelabelan totem "aktivis" yang dapat memberikan efek elitisme dan menjadi kontraproduktif, pemisahan antara musik dan politik yang tidak diperlukan, serta imbauannya untuk jangan meredam passion, tapi lebih baik dibunuh sekalian.

---------------------

Herry Sutresna, Morgue Vanguard, or simply Ucok Homicide, has a very familiar ring (even Deity-ish presence) to his name in the ears of avid hip-hop listeners in Indonesia. Homicide, the legendary local group, and Grimloc Records, his pure gesture of love towards Indonesian music, releasing some of the best local albums, are well-known even to the laymen who don't deal in the music industry. 

In this 5th episode of Kombur-Kombur, Ucok, aside from discussing over many, many aspects of his life, also highlights the values that he holds dear in his life; From how Public Enemy shaped his awareness in politics, the labeling of "activists" totem that instead ending up counterproductive due to its elitism effect, the unneeded separation between music and politics, and also his views to not suppress passion, might as well kill it off instead.
