'Upside Down' - The Creation Records Story

For me, I've already known most of the story. It's good to see these people reflecting the glory days, though I could only understand half of what they are saying. It's a must-see documentary for those who love creation records artists. I feel... the documentary is a bit too short, I wish to see more footages of them, riot live gig, crazy backstage, people stoned with E, or whatever drugs they were taking. Well... too bad you don't really get to see much new. Nonetheless, the ending message is good, "you see, it's a fallacy. our dreams are so huge, enormous and vast, we can never fully meet them. The rule really is to be grateful for everything." indeed.

Splendour In The Grass 2010 Part IV

Day Three:

Badhead

So far i've not really stayed in touch

Well you knew as much it's no surprise that today

I'll get up around two from a lack of anything to do

And I might as well just grin and bear it

Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And you have not really stayed in touch

Well I knew as much it's no surprise that today

I get up for round two with nothing to do

Except get a touch of flu

And I might as well grin and bear it

Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And in any case i'd rather wear it

It's like a badhead in the morning

And I know

And I might as well grin and bear it

Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And in any case i'd rather wear it

It's like a badhead in the morning

And I might as well grin and bear it

Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument

And in any case i'd rather wear it

You're like a badhead in the morning

(this song is a very accurate account of my life at the moment. i want to show her the song, but i know it's no use. she won't understand or care about my life now. i've been listening to a lot of Blur lately, this wasn't one of my favourite songs. i put on random play mode, and it picked this song. sometimes, the song just jumps to you like that. i used to prefer Oasis, but now i know that Blur's songs are better. portraying this rubbish modern life, my unproductive mundane life.)

This guy, in my opinion, is the coolest Brit-pop front man.

I'm Not Sorry

On returning, I can't believe this world is still turning
The pressure's on, Because the pleasure hasn't gone
And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done
And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone

On competing, Oh, when will this tired heart stop beating?
It's all a game, Existence is only a game
And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done
And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone

I'm, Slipping below the water line, I'm, Slipping below the water line
Reach for my hand, And, And the race is won
Reject my hand, And, The damage is done

I'm, Slipping below the water line
I'm, Slipping below the water line

The woman of my dreams, She, She never came along
The woman of my dreams, Well, There never was one

And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've said
There's a wild man in my head, There's a wild man In my head

I Wanna Be a Dog

Me: Haha, I just saw a comment on youtube. "I wanna be a dog!"

A: Yeah, that's probably what he's singing while he got high. But when he sobers up, he realised how inappropriate it sounds and changed it to "I wanna be adored".

Me: XDDDDDD....nice man!

Oasis R.I.P

I feel sorry for Noel Gallagher, and the Oasis.

They were great, really great, but they are out of time.

However Liam is an idiot. Reading NME's 50 Incredulous Liam Gallagher Quotes only proves he really is an idiot. He's far too arrogant, though I agree with him at some point, but he really does not have to act/talk like an idiot. I think I'd quote some of his words, fucking hilarious. He could be a very good comedian, I think.

On ambition: "If I wasn't a musician I don't know. I'd be God, maybe? That would be a good job." (The Sun, 2005).

On being a softie at heart: “I am a tender, beautiful and loving guy that happens to slap a photographer now and then because they get in my way.” (Sky.com, July 2005).

On singing: “I’m a better singer than him [Noel]. I’m the man, man.” (NME, December 2008)

On conquering America: “Americans want grungy people stabbing themselves in the head onstage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don’t get it.” (NME, November 2006).

On his emotions: “I suppose I do get sad, but not for too long. I just look in the mirror and go, ‘What a good-looking fuck you are.’” (NME, November 2006).

Spreading the love for Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty: “I don’t give a fuck about her, I don’t give a fuck about the other dick and I don’t give a fuck about any of ‘em.” (NME, September 2008).

On Pete Doherty (again): "What does the word Libertine mean? Freedom! He's in the corner doing smack with a helmet on his head. There's nothing free about that. It's nasty." (NME, 2005).

Well, Oasis R.I.P.

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed

"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

所以莎莉可以等, 當他走著時已經知道太遲了
我的靈魂溜走了
可是我聽到妳說 "不要生氣得面對過去"

+ 工商服務時間: 綠洲合唱團要去台灣開演唱會了,哇嗚!!!

Jarvis Yes!

I personally think Jarvis Cocker (former lead singer of Pulp) is one of the rare lead singers.
Someone with style, stage energy, handsome face..etc
He's just so cool.
