袋鼠通信 + 窗

在圖書館看書看的悶了,我跑去拿了村上春樹的短篇來翻。
看了這兩篇,很巧的兩篇都有信。
而且他的短篇,真的很棒。雖然不是第一次看,但還是很享受在村上創造的文字中找的許多樂趣和想法。

袋鼠通信。作者回了一封信給抱怨的女客戶。我也討厭奇數,特別是個體的“個"。但我不算是個怕寂寞的人吧。我只是不喜歡“個"。

窗。一個有關指導寫信的小故事。有時候,經歷過事情感覺卻還是像不曾經歷過一樣。像夢一樣,似有似無的存在記憶裡。

Sight of You


Sight of You
Pale Saints - (1990) The Comforts of Madness

the sight of you
the sight of you
makes me feel blue
makes me feel blue
the things you said
the things you said
make me feel bad
my heart is sad

i think of him
i think of him
soaked all in red
i wish him dead
you say that he
you say that he's
nothing like me
but how can that be?

what can i do?
what can i say?
the world was large
and i felt very small
what's gonna happen?
how will i know
when things are back
the way they used to be before?

the sight of you
the sight of you
makes me feel blue
i feel so blue
the things you said
the things you said
make me feel bad
my heart is sad

好聽極了!!!

Self-Hatred

Today's consumerism is everything.
Everything based on our choices.
We can easily imitate people we want to be which simply based on consumerism.
This banality of society uses to impose uniformity in taste.
Narcissism carried to excess.
People always want to be the ones who they think are better.
Primordial narcissism has now transformed into a neurotic and media-hyped narcissism and becomes self-hatred.
Yet, that's all we do. We consume everything we want, and hate ourselves.

Sambassadeur

Another indie-pop band from Labrador, Sweden.
They just sound very nice, very pop.
So far, had released two albums, Sambassadeur and Migration.
I think both sound very good, but you can tell that they are better in the second album, Migration. Full of good pop sounds, especially covered a song, called Lady (Falling In Love) originally by Dennis Wilson from The Beach Boys.
Myspace

songs I will always like:
  1. final say
  2. subtle changes
  3. falling in love
  4. new moon
  5. between the lines
  6. just because of you

Masculin Féminin: 15 faits précis

Paul: Kill a man and you're a murderer. Kill thousands and you're a conqueror. Kill everyone and you're a god.
Elisabeth: I don't think God exists.
We control our thoughts which mean nothing, and not our emotions which mean everything.
Paul: To have a conscience is to be open to the world.
Paul: To be faithful is to act as if time didn't exist.
Paul: Wisdom would be to see life, truly see it. That would be wisdom.
Masculin Féminin, by Godard. Awesome film!
From this film, I see insanity of modern society.
Even this is a quite funny film, it's got a hell of insights.

I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day

這張專輯,不仔細聽,妳不會覺得好聽。
仔細聽,這張真是好聽。我想這只是我的感覺而已。
總之,最近聽這張聽很兇。

Julie Doiron
沒有漂亮的聲音,她的音樂也沒有相當完整。可是相對得出來的聲音,很直接,很raw,很親密。基本上我對她並不熟,我是從這張新專輯才認識她的。像是主打歌Consolation Prize,一陣厚厚的吉他音牆,流行的曲調,算是她比較raw的一面。而其他的歌像是,The Life Of Dreams,Nice To Come Home,Glad To Be Alive,都是只有簡單的吉他伴奏,Julie 直接對著"你"唱的方式,很親密。不過這很直接的表現方法,我很喜歡。而且我覺得她寫的歌詞也很有正面的力量。哈!

2001: A Space Odyssey

這是我最近看過最怪的一部電影。
應該可以列入我這輩子會看過最怪的電影前三名。
不過,好像前三名目前都被這位怪才導演 Stanley Kubrick包辦了。
另外兩部是A Clockwork Orange (1971)和 Full Metal Jacket (1987)。
這三部片我都不喜歡。不過,我不得不承認他們的原創性。
特別是這部 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)。影響了幾乎每一部後來的科幻電影。
走在先鋒的太空漫遊,依舊維持著不可撼動的地位。

2001: A Space Odyssey with Pink Floyd

上面是整部電影裡,我最喜歡的一段。配上 Pink Floyd 的歌很棒。
我看的懂某部分他再演甚麼。不過說真的,真的太深了!
