Pushing Daisies s1e4 Pigeon

Monday, October 29th, 2007

噹噹! Ellen Greene 果然也開口唱歌了. 她跟 Kristin Chenoweth 在追著小鴿前往風車的路上合唱 They Might Be Giants 的 Birdhouse in Your Soul. 之前聽了 They Might Be Giants 的九五年專輯 Flood 就打算寫一篇心得, 但因懶病發作而作罷. 沒想到會從 Greene 與 Chenoweth 的口中聽到, 被她們一唱這首歌又更加可愛.

一些雜七雜八的小事

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

Robbie Williams 與足球
記得 Sing When You Are Winning 嗎? 這張名稱擺明就是在嗆胖子 Barlow 的專輯, 封面與內頁是一堆 Robbie 複製人組成的球隊. 當初看上去只覺得好玩, 好多個各式各樣的 Robbie. 開始看足球之後拿起來重新翻一遍, 更能欣賞其中妙處了! 裡面有 Robbie A 隊對抗 Robbie B 隊, 鏟球, 射門, 無一不缺. 另外還有臉上塗著英格蘭紅十字的瘋狂球迷, 球場外面的警察與運動記者等.
但直到現在我才想到一個問題, Robbie 支持哪個球隊呢? 總不會是曼聯吧! 心裡有點擔心, 因為自從 1995 年開始注意 Robbie 以來, 我一直有印象他是曼徹斯特人, 應該是在哪本直雜誌上看到的, 因此我在開始看足球之前一直對曼徹斯特有著美好的憧憬.
結果沒想到他根本不是什麼曼徹斯特人. (phew~)

Autumn Leaves

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

You can smell the Autumn in the air. Last night, rain washed down settling the agitation floating in the city. I opened the door and an enormous presence of freshness enwrapped me. It's a mixture of trees, leaves, trail of rain on the ground and morning dew, a celebration of life.

Silverchair [Young Modern]

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

最近逛 Borders 發現這張專輯, 才想起他們的存在.
記得大學的時候很喜歡他們的歌, 但也從來沒有很深入研究過他們的由來與音樂. 聽了幾首 Young Modern 裡面的歌, 發現最近廣播常放的 Straight Lines 原來出自主唱 Daniel Johns 與 The Presets 的 Julian Hamilton 之手. Straight Light 先從電吉他開始, 加入鋼琴/鍵盤, 再加入 Daniel 的歌聲... 是一種解放, 讓人自由的好聽.
很喜歡這張專輯, 尤其是 Young Modern Station, Reflection of a Sound... 還有 Straight Lines.

Someone to Love - Foutain of Wayne

Bowling For Soup

8/16/07 SF Slim's Get Happy Tour
Bowling for Soup ft. Army of Freshman, Quiet Drive & Melee
直到今天早上, BFS 的音樂還在我腦海盈繞不去.

很喜歡 Army of Freshman, 主唱實在是太會帶氣氛了!
就是這樣, 很開心.

Breath Me - Sia

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

每次聽到這首歌都會耳朵一噹 (像眼睛一亮那樣), 跑去查是誰唱的, 才發現原來之前就查過了. 兩三次都是在電視影集遇到, 沒想到 Sia 的 wiki 之下還有一條 Trivia 專寫 Breathe Me 在哪些影集電影中出現過. XD

Sotto la gronda della torre antica
Una rondine amica,
Allo sbocciar del mandorlo é tornata.
Ritorna tutti gli anni,

Speri in vano e non torna piú.

Better Than Ezra [Friction, Baby] again

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I wrote about this album two months ago. Here
本來是打算寫 Butch Walker [Letters] 的, 但今天在車裡將 Butch Walker 換下, 放入當初並沒有給我特別好或是深刻的印象的 Better Than Ezra [Friction, Baby]. 我還在想, 我喜歡 Butch Walker 的聲音, 有厚度且有變化, 但當 Kevin Griffin 獨特的嗓音從音響中傳出, 略帶憤世嫉俗地唱著 There's an angel on the stairs (as if you'd even care) When the lights go up, and the sun has nearly [...]

今天早上我從 Butch Walker 的 Letters 轉到 Channel 1049, 因為我想聽 Muse 的 Starlight. 我也知道這個機率微乎其微, 不過不試試怎麼知道呢? 1049 果然不是在放 Starlight, 卻傳來了 Corey Taylor 沙啞的嗓音唱著 looking at you through the glass Don't know how much time has passed...

dilemma

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

8/16 在 Slims 有 Bowling For Soup 的演唱會, BFS 是我很喜歡的 pop-punk 團之一, 他們歡樂的歌總是讓我心情很好, 也常常以輕快的態度來嘲諷一些現今社會的問題.
然後 8/15 Magic Number 要在 GAMH 開演唱會, 雖然沒有特別喜歡他們 (我以前很聽不慣 indie, 很多都太小家子氣了, 聽得會很膩. 不過最近慢慢開始能夠欣賞, 但我還是受不了showgaze團 XD) 但是還是有點想去聽, 有點需要清風呢喃般的小家碧玉音樂來安慰我被一堆瘋狂大麻青少年驚嚇挫折的心靈...
真是兩難啊, 如果兩個都去應該會累死. (呃, 那我這星期四去聽 Brandi Carlile, 星期五去聽 Chris Tomlin 怎麼辦? 然後還有星期六要當 DJ, 星期天要去Projekt Revolution...啊~~~~)
還是九月再讓 Guster 安慰好了, 畢竟 BFS 還是比較重要!

Diana Krall [When I Look in Your Eyes]

Friday, July 20th, 2007

還是戒不了放著音樂入睡的習慣. 晚上捧著今早在圖書館帶回來的戰利品在床上讀著, 大病初癒的夜晚, 我放下 Moneyball, Fever Pitch 和 The Believer, 隨意挑了一本簡單小說*. 在眾多專輯之中挑了 Bloc Party, 這個成立於 2003 年的東倫敦 indie 團, 主唱是奈及利亞裔的利物浦人(嚇!) 對他們的第一印象很好, 於是挑出來再度品嘗. 然而書只看到一半, A Weekend in the City 就放完了. 我在安靜的房間內解決剩下的書, 關燈準備睡覺沒兩下, 又對滿識寧靜感到不安.
從國中開始我就喜歡開著音響入睡, 以前極害怕全世界只剩我一個人的感覺 (也因為如此, 我一向不準甯甯睡覺關門, 因為我需要知道有活人在跟我同一個空間裡. 她對此可說是深惡痛絕, 因為除了音樂很吵之外, 我有時還會說夢話跟磨牙.) 漸漸地, 即使不害怕了. 我還是喜歡有音樂伴我入睡. (所以說啊, 青少年時期接觸的東西, 養成的習慣, 實在對一個人有很大的影響.)
晚上我喜歡聽 Diana Krall.
我不喜歡爵士樂, 但是 Diana Krall 自然不做作, [...]

Editors [An End has a Start]

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Editors 一直無法在我腦海裡成功註冊, 於是在這個被 Nick Hornby, Hugh Grant 與 Badly Drawn Boy 好好寵溺過後的晚上, 我又拿出 An End Has a Start, 有終畢有始.
Smoke Outside the Hospital Doors 前奏一響起, 我就知道我喜歡這個團. (那為什麼還記不得他們呢?) 不過我不是很喜歡主唱 Tom Smith 的嗓音, 但也不至於很討厭. 不像之前哪個團, 第一首歌出來嚇死我了, 難聽到讓我想要吐, 完全無法忍耐的口音及嗓子耶!
Editors 這張真的很棒, 完全是我愛的調調.

Fleetwood Mac [Time]

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

okay, I lied. 其實我手邊還有另一張 FM 的專輯.
[Time] 發行於 1995 年, 算是 Fleetwood Mac 歷史中比較特殊的一張專輯, 它是自 1975 年 Stevie Nicks 與 Lindsey Buckingham 加入之後, 唯一一張兩人沒有列為團員的專輯.
我在前一篇文章提過, Fleetwood Mac 成團四十年以來, 只有 Mick Fleetwood 與 John McVie 兩人一直在團員名單上面. 然而他們兩人一個是鼓手一個是貝斯手, 一向不是 Fleetwood Mac 的創作中心. 從創團初期的 Peter Green 到 Christine McVie, Bob Welch, 直到後來幾乎定義了 Fleetwood Mac 全盛時期的 Lindsey Buckingham 與 [...]

Autour de Lucie 第三次上標題.
今天在整理我的音樂, 又把 Autour de Lucie 拿出來聽, Valérie Leulliot 的嗓音實在很棒. 想把他們的專輯也都收一收, 有時候就是會很需要外語歌, 像是早期的 Keren Ann, Nena, Silbermond 以及超甜美的 Annett Louisan, 但這些人的 CD 都超難入手的. Hope of the States 的 Left 也是 /_\
然後我發現之前不小心把 Lisa Ekdahl 放到 Gothic 去了 (還是因為要找 Faith & Disease 才看到的) 真是對不住啊~

Fleetwood Mac [Fleetwood Mac]

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

在圖書館隨手帶了 Fleetwood Mac 回家, 當天就在 The Perks of Being a Wallflower 裡面讀到 Charlie 錄的 mix tape 裡面選了他們的歌. 如果能夠的話, 我也想多編一點, 比如說隔天我又在電視上聽到 Eric 跟 Steve 討論 Fleetwood Mac, 我實在喜歡這種暗示命定的巧合. 不過很無奈的, 我跟 Fleetwood Mac 的交集就只有圖書館與壁花而已, 直到我將這張專輯放進 CD player...
當 Rhiannon 的前奏響起, 我發現原來這不是初次見面, 請多多指教. 也難怪, Fleetwood Mac 組成於 1967, (那時我媽都還只是個 teenager!) 直到現在仍然 active. 40年間發了 20 張專輯 (包括精選及演唱會錄音), 多張專輯曾登上 US, UK [...]

Travis [The Boy with No Name]

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Travis 2007 的新專輯繼大受好評的單曲 Closer 之後, 仍舊大受好評.
靜靜失眠的夜裡 (睡了一小時忽然醒來睡不著, 也許是 caffeine 現在才 kick in...), 我打開螢幕, 丟掉聽完的 Aqualung, 想說 Travis 應該比 The Polyphonic Spree 要來得溫和些 (再聽那麼歡樂的歌我想我更不用睡了.)
The Boy with No Name 在靜靜的失眠夜裡聽起來跟在白天辦公室裡不能開太大聲地聽有很大的差別,
(為什麼現在打字那麼痛苦呢? 關節轉動都覺得不太舒服有點接近疼痛, 尤其是左手大姆指扭下去按 ctrl 鍵時更是難受. 手臂靠在桌上覺得桌子好硬, 腳踏在電腦上也弄得腳跟好痛. What is this? 睡不著的其中一個原因之一也是我找不到任何一個不會不舒服不會扭到脖子同時不會後腰懸空也不會呼吸困難的姿勢. What is this? 如果真是 caffeine 的把戲, 那真是太不值了. 今晚喝的 Illy 不是很合我胃口. 不得不服老, 年月在身理上終究是有無可抗拒的影響, 那些仗著青春揮霍的精力, 通宵隔天補個眠就又能活蹦亂跳 [...]

The Polyphonic Spree [The Fragile Army]

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

會注意到 Polyphonic Spree 是因為 Nick Hornby 的第一本 What I've been Reading 專欄結集而成的書 The Polysyllabic Spree, 就是從 The Polyphonic Spree 的團名玩文字變化來的.
今天在 Brit-pop 板看到有人介紹, 說 The Polyphonic Spree 的現場表演非常棒, 其中一個原因是因為他們的編制很大 (往往有 10-25 人), 而也是因為這樣, 他們不太可能來台演出, 整團交通食宿器材運費不是目前台灣音樂生態負擔的起的.

初聽 The Fragile Army 就能感受到一股熱鬧歡樂的氣氛, 沒有讓我馬上愛上, 但也不會討厭或是覺得很沒特色. 或者我應該說, 他們的音樂不像前陣子在聽 Hope of the States 與 The Delays 一樣, 讓我無法克制地一遍又一遍的重聽, 就 Nick Hornby [...]

Blue October [Consent to Treatment]

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

入手!
(我的第一張 Blue October [Foiled] 的心得大概放了一年吧 orz)
Blue October 的出碟順序是 The Anwsers(1998), Consent to Treatment(2000), History for Sale(2003), Foiled(2006), 我倒著聽回去.
三張專輯略有不同, 尤其 Foiled 非常多元, 感覺他們在嘗試更多新東西, 然而三張聽下來還是有個主題風格. Justin 有點沙啞的聲音非常誠懇不矯情造作宣洩他的思緒他的心情他的憤怒, 作曲與演唱是他治癒過程的一部份, 在這個過程中也許我們心中的黑洞對應到他的傷痛, 靈魂共振的那一瞬間, 我們被他認真的神情感動時同時被醫治.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

Monday, June 4th, 2007

一般看電影時我不會特別注意到配樂如何, 如果注意到的話就必定有其了不起之處.
POC III 看到一半, 就發現我還蠻喜歡它的音樂, 最後 credit 出來時發現是 Hans Zimmer 作的, 難怪! 這傢伙從 The Rock 開始我就很喜歡了! 最近讓我印象深刻的配樂還有 Smokin' Aces 的最後一景, 真是神來之筆, 是幫 Requim for a Dream 的 Clint Menshell 作的!
ps. 其實單聽 original score, The Rock 與 POC III 有很多相似的地方, 也許可說是 Hans Zimmer 的簽名.
