I don't have a wedding song but i do have a funeral song.

The Trapeze Swinger by Iron & Wine 

還是單曲介紹，是最近很紅的My Chemical Romance -I Don't Love You，之前有一點點接觸，覺得還不錯，沒有到喜愛的地步，但這次的專輯真是石破天驚的狂打，連團員都有一種重生的感覺。（長相造型上）

這首歌說PUNK說EMO說METAL好像都可以，分門派真的是一件很無聊的事，簡單來說這就是一隻聽起來會很爽很過癮的新樂團，連多田由美都有畫他們的同人本，這個世界真是太神奇了。當然，團員的長相也是一大原因，大進步，真的，主唱Gerard Way看起來就像陰鬱小生還畫黑眼線，好一個小受，看他那神經質的唱法真讓我想向前去抽他一巴掌（SM魂？），鼓手更神奇，本來不是個普通鬍渣青年嗎？怎麼一下就轉生到大叔型男去了？原來金髮留八神庵的髮型會這麼萌（我又想到雪風裡的Jack了），MV裡的男主角雖然塗的黑黑的但也很帥，女主角應該有戴瞳孔放大鏡吧，不然就太恐怖了．．．

New Travis album is out! This song and video are so sweet and catchy :) 
Travis always make me feel lighthearted,this is the best supermarket. eccentric staff and good background music. i'd like to shop there!
Fran gets the mellowest voice in the world. Now i want to cuddle

I love The Police,i love Sting,i love them for 15 years and i will love them perpetually,there is no question about it. Their 1983 album Synchronicity was number one in the UK and the US, and went Platinum eight times in the US,waht a record!(and material in Synchronicity was prominently inspired by the writings of Carl Jung,founder of analytical psychology!!!)

After 30 years from it's first released,it still hits the very core of musical innovation and the bottom of my heart.

今天在清理書櫃的時候，找到了過去的照片本，記錄的是曾有的事，曾有的人，生命中的某一段記憶，未能成真的可能性。當我翻著一張張的照片時，背景音樂響起Rachel Yamagata的I Wish You Love，淡淡爵士女聲與貝斯撥撩彷彿也為我早夭的愛情嘆息。

四季更迭，回憶閃爍，如今品嘗當初情愫初開的青澀，或是一起走過又分開的遺憾，都成了一點苦中帶甜的釋然。那些人，不管你身在何處，身邊的人又是誰，I Wish You Love。

有時候，有些地點，有些歌，總是能勾起生命中某些特定的回憶，曾經是Madonna的Crazy For You，曾經是Mogwai的Stop Coming To My House，好像這些歌在我耳朵裡留下燒烙的軌跡，住進我心裡的一個角落，又或許是我把一部分的我寄託給了這些歌，反反覆覆。今年的最後一天，還是要聽Lifehouse，回味去年當時的心情，搖擺在前進後退之間，決定，放下，等待著，Somewhere In Between，時間會癒合一切。

So I picked up my "Sufjan Stevens-songs for Christmas" five EPs collection yesterday,it is lovely to hear Sufjan singing merry jolly songs of Christianity with banjo and solo piano,but some of you may wonder why Sufjan's music is always so warm ,fuzzy and angelical ? Did God himself purify Sufjan of this contaminated world with the talent he had granted Sufjan ? Or he just grew out of soil,or fell,fully formed,from the boughs of ancient trees(quote from Giles Smith)?

For those who want to know,i give you "A Sun Came [2nd Edition]"

It's probably the cuddliest video of the year, reminiscent of those classic cartoon Christmas specials like "Frosty the Snowman" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas".

In the photo-negative world of indie rock morality, Christmas might be the most blasphemous word next to George Bush, combining as it does the taboos of family, Christianity, commerce, and happiness. Sufjan Stevens, then, is something like the happy elf from North Pole, unabashedly reveling in the glory of Christmas with such warmth it pretty much obliterates the word "irony" from the English language. And now, the boxset "Songs for Christmas", collecting five EPs of seasonal music recorded over the last five years which will basically clean out all my Christmas allowance,represents the songwriter's ultimate rejoicing to date,bring me back to the innocent careless days of childhood,oh how i love Christmas!

However,i must say i still too in love with his last album "Illinois",my top 3 albums of 2005 among Sigur Ros and Broken Social Scene,writing the story of the landscape by seizing all the weird, awkward bits of tough Midwest and the craziest name like "The Black Hawk War, Or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization And Still Feel Good About Yourself In The Morning, Or, We Apologize For The Inconvenience But You're Going To Have To Leave Now, Or, 'I Have Fought The Big Knives And Will Continue To Fight..."

What kind of shit is that?

Seriously,i burn my brain while reading those lyrics,especially the 15 track.
"The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!"

好久沒認真寫一篇樂團的介紹，也好久沒想過，英倫自從Radiohead和Jeff Buckley之後，還會出現如此氤氳迷離的樂團。

剛剛回去檢查了一下過去音樂試聽的連結，通通掛掉了．．．
上Multiply也是全部都不能連，免錢的網路空間就是這麼脆弱，好像我最近一樣，每天哀怨的好像Broken Social Scene的lover's spit．．．
總之沒有了就算了，最近難得人氣比較旺，如果有人有好的免費網站空間可以連音樂的要報我知一下，不然以後我看就用yousendit直接下載吧，雖然只有七天的壽命，反正流行音樂的保存期限也差不多就這樣，聊勝於無。

最近有朋友說我的blog好像有點火爆，可能是足球文太多了吧，激烈的運動難免讓人腎上腺素增加，其實內心還是相當平靜的。
秋是個感傷的季節，豐收的季節，離別的季節，週圍有朋友要共組家庭，有人要迎接新生命的到來，有人要面臨親人的離逝，天氣初蕭，童顏盈盈，我只希望大家都能找到內心的平靜。

幸福，只因喜歡，只因歡喜。

最近很多東西都流行”大”的才好，大房子，大車子，最好是連家裡的寵物都比別人大一號，所以，當你看到一隊超過十人樂隊站出來時，這個樂團一定是驚天動地的不得了。

開個玩笑，人數編制當然和樂團的成就不一定成正比，但Broken Social Scene不僅是拍宣傳照時才有人山人海的氣勢，從他們的音樂中，你可以感覺到當下最才華洋溢、最充滿企圖心的樂隊之一，在北國加拿大風景如畫的冰冷中燃燒著。

近日重聽Yo La Tengo的每一首歌，就好像上了毒癮的人不可自拔，要直到聽了十次，二十次，三十次，有如窒息許久的人貪婪的想要吸滿每一口空氣，想要讓他們的音符充滿我胸腔裡每一個細胞，方能罷休，方能滿足。

在眼前的道路上，沒有目標，沒有終點，
可我卻停不下來，止不住。
