感想：其實所謂的 indie rock 沒那麼 indie 咩 -- 只要簽進獨立廠牌你就硬了。

會不會跟世界潮流脫節太久了，米國人。


T.I. & Rihanna, "Live Your Life"

沒想到米國版的詞還可以比Shaba Shabu更令人發噱。

從世界知名的 Time 雜誌偷來的玩意兒。



沒錯，這是 A-ha 的 Take On Me，不過 -- 瞧出端倪來了嗎？

誠天昏地暗趕稿時最佳良伴是也。

Gamelan 版 Mission Impossible......

今早耳邊聽著 Samson François 彈奏的 Chopin 第二號奏鳴曲工作。

該怎麼說呢，每次聽到這個版本總有種頭暈的感覺。但今晨聽到第三樂章的進行曲時，我卻幾幾乎連呼吸都要停了下似的不能動彈。（應該是連續熬夜的緣故吧～逃～）


對啦，不是第二號奏鳴曲啦，YouTube 就找不到啦，怎樣--

言歸正傳，當下心海深處傳來一陣回波盪漾不止的ＯＳ：「啊，這一定就是千秋王子聽到野田廢彈鋼琴時的心情哪。」

下台一鞠躬。

太恐怖啦，我竟然彷彿身陷煉獄般，腦子裡不斷迴繞著おしりかじり虫的聲音。

Bite you. Bite me...


おしりかじり虫 --> 有英語字幕。這......這歌讓小朋友聽恰當嗎？


おしりかじり虫（Music Japan, Nov. 17, 2007）

這真的是主題意識相當不健康的兒童歌曲。日本人果然是包容性很強的民族啊。

同樣出身自選秀節目"The X Factor"的 Leon Jackson，翻唱 Whitney Houston 和 Mariah Carey 合作的"When You Believe"。


Leon Jackson, "When You Believe"

你沒搞錯，他是該節目第四季冠軍。

感想：原來本島超級星光大道的水準沒想像中差。

I GIVE UP.

......喂，這是什麼意思？

拉基歐頭，不准這樣對我！

這個世界上還真的沒有什麼不可思議的事情。

越獄奇譚 少女囚犯藏身行李箱中被挾帶出獄 法新社
更新日期:2007/10/30 05:50 記者:張佑之

（法新社漢諾威二十九日電） 德國警方今天說，一名十九歲少女似乎藉藏身在另一名獲釋獄友的行李箱內，而逃出了該國西北部的一座少年看守所。 警方說，位於紐斯塔的這座看守所警衛表示，二十六日獲釋的十八歲少女，手中行李箱特別沈重，但當時警衛並未加以搜查。 上述十九歲少女憑空消失一事，直到數小時後，所方展開傍晚例行巡查牢房時，才被管理人員發現，目前警方正追查這兩名少女的下落。

令人望之目眩、不可思議的美味（？）組合。

Led Zeppelin 傳奇主唱 Robert Plant 搭檔草根音樂女王 Alison Krauss --

誰行行好趕快把這張專輯進到島內！


Alison Krauss and Robert Plant Duet for Raising Sand

以上這段影片是關於 Raising Sand 專輯的訪談。

女性消費者的福音？


Apple iPad

這一段在前幾個禮拜 MADtv 的 Most Wanted 回顧中再度現身。

個人對 iPad 的防毒功能倒是很有深入瞭解的興趣。

話說美國秋季首映老片新拍的影集 Bionic Woman 和<<魍魎之匣>>的初始設定幾乎一模一樣：青春貌美的女子遭逢大變故（都算是交通意外……對吧？），被心焦發狂的愛人送進神祕的研究機構（到這邊都一樣），然後肉身遭到非人道的「修整」……

啊，但接下來是怎麼回事？這名少女在西方邪惡美利堅帝國搖身一變成為死不了的生化女超人，在海角天涯的東瀛小島卻成了……「匣中少女」？

京極夏彥老師的性格還真不是普通程度的陰暗。

不過<<魍魎之匣>>的笑點倒是出乎意料地多 -- 又是我笑點太低的緣故嗎？

這是一定要跟親朋好友分享的啦。

請用。



泡菜那一段真的很弱，難怪白組得到十分。

欸，不是我不想放正式的MV，而是這首歌壓根兒沒拍MV。Brad Paisley這首"Ticks"就這麼在口耳相傳之下攻上排行榜。

這支樂迷自製的video其實不差啦。至少歌詞裡頭講到的東西都有出現。看了便知分曉……


Brad Paisley, "Ticks"

為什麼要介紹這首歌呢。這個嘛，近年來雖然對Bluegrass頗具熱情，但太流行的鄉村音樂我還是敬謝不敏。此外，我對Brad Paisley本人也沒興趣。

那到底是為了什麼？ㄜ，"Ticks"這首歌裡有一句詞兒" I'd like to check you for ticks"據說已成為全米當下最火的搭訕用語。

欸，先不論哪個男的會把女的當成小狗來檢查身上蝨子，光是聽到緊接著下面這段話：

"You never know where one might be
There's lots of places that are hard to reach
I gotcha."

這該報警處理了吧。

最精采的片段恰巧也在開頭三分鐘內演完。
