Being Boring I'll find my soul as I go home

thieves like us

Thieves Like us by New Order只要一听NO, 他们那种天真乐观气就让我感觉大好. 尽管NO的词写的是惨不忍睹了点, 但是和音乐一结合就能成功的capture a feeling
I've watched your face for a long timeIt's always the sameI've studied the cracks and the wrinklesYou were always so vainBut now you live your life like a shadowIn the pouring rain
Oh love is found in the east and the westBut when love is at [...]

鲍鱼叔叔和宗教

发于BritPop全体集合
从早年鲍鱼爷爷还在高中组小乐团到近年的Heathen专辑, 鲍鱼一直在孜孜不倦地在歌里探索宗教主题. 鲍鱼爷爷对宗教问题的态度与他对音乐态度和性取向问题差不多.

别人都歧视gay的时候他说自己是gay, 别人都说自己是gay的时候他变成了无性别. 然后他变成了bi, 最后他说他喜欢异性.....
别人BLUES他华丽摇滚, 别人华丽摇滚他电子, 别人电子他又摇滚了.

他对宗教的态度也一样, 他不仅谈论, 而且不管是什么他都要试试, if just for one day. 是好是坏他完全不管, 他非要成为一个教徒, 把它搞清楚不可. 跟他对别的东西一样, 他一旦搞清楚了, 他就把它放掉, 进入下一阶段.

David Bowie is Dracula

写死了我, 特别鸣谢豆瓣的David Bowie小组, 桑桑的言采, 冰 和 格利芙
介绍一下我的新宠
"这人天生就具有一种掠夺开创的性格，对事物浅尝辄止，然后又迅速撤离，留下一大批各个时期的追随者与仿效者。"------摘自外滩画报

David Bowie,
今年59岁, 出道40年, 是摇滚界最经常怀疑是外星人的传奇人物. 他最著名的外号是摇滚变色龙, 意思是说他不停地按照流行风尚改变自己风格,
一开始是folk, 然后变成glam rock(华丽摇滚,他的首次事业高峰), 然后一夜变成soul(灵歌),
然后在70年代末变了舞曲(这个令他的fans极为不满, 但是这是他最popular的时期, 80年代的超级明星), 因为太popular,
他在80年代后期lost himself, 90年代变成了jazz和experimental, 又东山再起.
在中国他很没名气, fans绝对超不过两位数, 但是这些fans都很死忠, 昵称他为"大碗鲍鱼". 我们都觉得鲍鱼爷爷不是因为流行才改变自己的风格的, 更准确的说, 他只是不能忍受一直唱同一个风格的歌, 宁可take risk去尝试别的, 每次都准确地提前3年预测流行. 这么成功的人真是我的最爱啊!
我是如何不幸被hooked的

"这个外星人绝对是八卦爱好者无尽的宝库啊。在bo看来，这位爷爷就是地球上最最uncool以至于最最cool的人物啦，不过鉴于他不是地球人，也就不特别表扬了。"---bleedingorange

从5月份从Placebo和鲍鱼爷爷的Without you I'm nothing MV
之后就认识了鲍鱼爷爷. 某人在里面牛气烘烘地抓个microphone摇啊摇,
还公然对Brian Molko这个小贱人流口水(Brian穿了个黑色小吊带, 笑死).
当时我心里很奇怪,
这人怎么象黑社会老大一样啊. 于是就google了一下他的底细,
啊啊啊啊,
原来这个人就是Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence那个Lawrence啊,
我没看过这个电影但是我同学看过以后就发了颠,
她一上来觉得鲍鱼爷爷其丑无比, 表情僵硬, 看到一半就掉进他著名的金眼银瞳里去了.他活动起来的确很迷人

Brian可真让人无语, 照相眼睛睁那么大干吗呢? 我看到这照片时下面写着"just married", 喷饭.

这就是金眼银瞳, 因为他一只眼睛受过伤, 瞳孔永久放大. [...]

The piper of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett is dead

Syd Barrett (Jan 6th, 1946 - Jul 7th, 2006), British singer and song-writer

ALBUM: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

  `Now it passes on and I begin to lose it,' he said presently. `O
Mole! the beauty of it! The merry bubble and joy, the thin, clear,
happy call of the distant piping! Such music I never [...]

In the beginning was sound

同学们, 我又颓废地转载来了! 这回是关于音乐的
An  New Yorker essay on Radiohead:(大笑中)....The lead singer and main songwriter, Thom Yorke, has essentially three
singing styles: a tired snarl, a reedy drone, and a light falsetto. His
performances rarely get far before the words dissolve into a moan. On
early Radiohead albums, Yorke’s lyrics were sombre expressions of
juvenile anomie: cars are dangerous, robots are [...]

My all time favourite list
