I think...
I think many people, including me, think that language lacks when we want to express something we feel, something we see, something we hear in real life. In many occasions, languages even confused us and misunderstood others.
But when you read the following words:
So in between that, we have the pleasure to enjoy beauty of life and creativity of our minds.
But when you read the following words:
- cherry blossom mornings of springtime
- singing in the breeze
- mist over mysterious forest
- wind blowing through wheat fields
So in between that, we have the pleasure to enjoy beauty of life and creativity of our minds.
Big Day Coming
Big Day Coming - Yo La Tengo
Let's be undecided, let's take our time
And sooner or later, we will know our mind
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
Cause we're together, that's somewhere
And there's a big day coming, about a mile away
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait
Let's wake up the neighbours, let's turn up our amps
And we know we're used to without a plan
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence
And it'll sound pretty good, till I forget how it ends
I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead
So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,
I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk"
+ baby, I can't wait to come back to you. This song fits perfectly!

School of Seven Bells

After reading through few other blogs, and found this new great band, School of Seven Bells.
Ex-Secret Machines' guitarist, Benjamin Curtis with a pair of twin sisters Alejandra and Claudia Deheza.
Released their album "Alpinisms" in 2008.
Their music sounds dreamily pop.
I think they took a lot of influences from India. Some of the songs sound like...chanting Buddhist scripture. Still cool though.
Well, I guess I will let the professional do their job.
- "Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream." 8.0 (Recommended)-Pitchfork
- "The twin sisters' heavenly harmonies are unlike anything else you'll hear (the closest reference point is Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser) and they make this debut album quite otherworldly and something very special indeed."-9 out of 10 NME
- "What pushes these songs past mere worship involves cunning collisions of robust rhythm, caressing noise, and heavenly melody, with each element equally crucial. Good shoegaze/dream-pop bands mastered one of them; the most exceptional of the heap, like this group, had all three down." 4 1/2 out of 5 - AMG
Half Asleep - great video! I like!
ps. SVIIB had toured with bands like Blonde Redhead and M83. Now they are currently touring with Bats for Lashes and White Lies. God, I wish I could see them all at once, sigh...
Zeigeist

I thought they were from England, but no.
Three-piece with extreme make-ups and costumes.
Besides that, their music is pretty good, very retro.
I think it's a very good dance music.
Myself, quite enjoy their 2008 album, The Jade Motel.

我知道這部片並不是很好看。但我還是看了。
+海報我喜歡
+裡面的配樂我也蠻喜歡的,以前的我是聽那些音樂長大的
+裡面還有一段是播侯孝賢的舊電影,應該是叫戀戀風塵,一步更早時代的青春愛情
+對於大部分人,可能還是會被他感動,但我沒有
- 劇情我覺得很散,原因應該是太多主角,而且並沒有好好利用這些角色
- 很奇怪的是,我通常是個挺懷舊的人,看這部片完全沒有這種感覺,原因應該是這戲有點拖。可能也不是,戀戀風塵比這還拖,但我也一樣有被感動到
- 內容其實跟我並沒有太大聯繫,棒球,撞球,抽菸,壞學生,BB Call,一群好友。這些我都沒有,就算有些朋友,我已經選擇離開他們。並沒有感到有多挽惜。
- 我有特地找到劇本,比照電影,原本寫的劇本跟拍出來的有差不少,但電影出來的效果還比劇本好一點
- 其實我沒有看完就關掉了
My Funny Valentine
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
+ I know Chet Baker because of you.
+ this song has everything that I wanna say to you
+ I love you, sweetie. Happy Valentine's Day!
Family Tree
Under my love
Wake up to your window
The day calls in billows
It's echoing moonlight on to the blue nightmare of your heart
In cosy red rainbow
It's shaking off halos
And the memory of our sacred so and so's
Oh take my hand sweet
Complete your release and bury your feet
And married we'll be
Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see
They don't know that we could be
That way your cradle escaped the sea
And your raven haired Mama cought told you so's
Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young
Ah me all mine
Is it safe to say that we've waited patiently
Call me on time
And recall the tune that has place us gracefully
All into line
There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you
I'll fall by your side
Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so's
Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young
And now we'll gather in the shadow of your family tree
In haunted harmony
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young
+ the song sounded good the first time I heard it
+ I was really touched after reading through the lyrics, frankly I didn't know exactly what the song is about... but you get this sad and really beautiful images. do you? maybe, a very vague one
+ so I went searching, found this interesting interview about the song.
Tunde Adebimpe: I've been in situations, and known people in situations, where someone's pure affection was unfortunately affected by outside sources. The terrain of a person's heart really isn't under the jurisdiction of anybody but that person, and in that song, it's an older generation condemning a relationship between two people for reasons that they probably had to deal with when they were younger. Like, "Well, when I was your age, I fell in love with so-and-so, and that was nothing but hell for me…" The "old idea" in the lyrics is bigotry, which could relate to race, to gender, to sexuality… People have their reasons for doing that, but it makes for such a waste of what could be a really short life.+ after talking to you about families, I wonder a lot about how I was so locked in the "old idea". for now, I just wanna be a much freer person like/with you
+ I love the image of "hearts soar free"
+ damn right, life is short, and everyone is living for themself. why should we care so much? traditions are evil...
+ after knowing above, now the song sounds terrific
+ I hope you like this song as well
+ by TV on the Radio

The Reminder [Deluxe Edition]

Maybe because I really like "Let It Die".
Somehow this album sounds too mainstream.
But after carefully listening to it, it still has many songs I like.
Buying the deluxe edition isn't a hard decision at all.
+ Islands In The Stream
+ Fightin' Away The Tears (I wish my house has this kind of wind, blowing all the time)
+ Remixes
+ Videos ( I think videos were made brilliantly, I love these two)
Nostalgia

-Patricia Waugh
這是產生懷舊的願望片段,不可能渴望的損失(虛構的)對象的願望的問題在沮喪和過時粉碎的理想對象...人們看到的可能性,以人為本肯定摧毀一個堅持和過度懷舊的失落感純作為其不可能實現生產敦促摧毀完全可以做些什麼。如果事情是支離破碎,讓他們完全片段。
The Beauty

+ I've gotta see American Beauty again... someday.
