long drive with the radio

the mv above made me think of the end summer of 2006. it may be the most exhilarant time of mine. that's a period wherein i drove my little sister to the secondary school in the mornings. the boring driving without conversation between us, i turn on the radio; let the music filled up the silence. on the straight raod the scenery was pretty dry. little by little the maple leaves turned into yellow. then i just knew time passed and got little homesick. but actually it's the longest that i was togethr with my family.

in the deep

if i could, i will dye the world with deep blue.
it's a little triste but also a little cheerful.
it's the colour of enternal summer
that stands for freedom, youth, sweetness, and sourness....
though finally we're getting old like paper photos inevitably fading,
thousand times of bright moments won't dim.
'cause it's the memory--the flash of time,
albeit tempus fugit.

圖書館的閉館音樂

老實說，圖書館的閉館音樂有點恐怖，不知道是版本的關係，還是因為破喇叭？！如果Bach聽到了，應該會腦中風吧~
下面這個老頭，年紀一大把了…卻還是很厲害…囧
個人喜歡他的版本勝過馬友友的。



嗯…還蠻喜歡某些Bach的作品，像是Toccata and fugue in D minor。這首曲子有很多版本，不只是不同演奏家的版本，還有不同演奏形式的版本，但是個人還是覺得聽小提琴和鋼琴的演奏形式最爽；如果是管絃樂團的演奏形式，雖然很powerful，但是音樂進行的線條一直在換樂器時被打斷的感覺，當然這純粹是個人意見，反正我本來就比較不喜歡orchestra….。

下面有兩個版本，一個是名不見經傳的鋼琴版本，另一個是有名小提琴版本，兩個人的詮釋方式差異性很大，不過我都很喜歡。

3:10~和4:10~，那邊很棒。


野馬版本。



台灣的非古典音樂界也紅過Toccata and fugue in D minor這首曲子，因為上面陳美的關係。

談到陳美，個人還蠻喜歡她的音樂風格，簡單來說就是——豪邁。比她技巧好的小提琴演奏家，世界上應該還很多，但是跟她一樣豪邁的，好像還真的不多。她是隻野馬！

但個人不是很喜歡她在「流行古典音樂」的MV，太過刻意刻畫她的特質，沒有必要。

很多古典音樂界的人其實很不屑陳美的。像是下面這個版本，有人批評她演奏得很糟糕。一樣是Bach的作品，Partita No.3 in E (聽習慣上面兩個D minor，轉到E調不要覺得刺耳被嚇到)。


聽完這首難到靠杯的組曲後，應該會明白為什麼我說她是野馬吧。
批評她的人會說，在這首曲子裡她連基本的拍子都抓不穩，憑什麼站在樂廳裡演奏，這種詮釋方式還算是古典樂嗎？
好吧，2:21~2:43那邊拍子真的飄得有點誇張，但是因為是solo所以我不會計較太多，反而聽起來很爽——奔跑的野馬，帥！

I believe in ?

Kylie Minogue - I Believe in You


這是一首聽了令人難過的歌，太多的浪漫與夢幻。
過多的映襯修詞企圖說服，然而信任底下卻埋藏著不安的懷疑，哪怕只有一絲絲。如果真的信任，即無需一再召喚信任的意念，或者如咒語般唸誦信任之語。

"I believe in you", Kylie Minogue sung the refrain again and again in the song. But how come in this age of 25 I believe in Nothing. It's lucky to have something to believe or to have someone to be believed. I give Kylie my most gaze upon, like a straight. I give the lyric my most meditation. Kylie in the video is like the Venus. I hope that she is genuine and has the power to persuade my mind. I resist the idea of romantic love, but I don't bury it. That's contradictory. As I mention above the MV contains excessive elements of romance and superrealism that make it unreal and I should stop viewing it. None the less I just sink into the sounds (or its abracadabra) like a lost lotus-eater.

I love Groove Armada

Hands of Time


Hands of Time
個人認為這首歌還蠻有質感的，它也曾出現在電影Two Weeks Notice裡的一小段當配樂，配樂是出現在，珊卓布拉克和休葛蘭搭直昇機在N.Y.的夜空，然後鏡頭拍紐約一棟很有名的建築的屋頂。

Hands of Time的現場版本




Superstylin', 2004 live at Glastonbury.


really awesome!
I like the atmosphere! natural high~
look at the singer! his body vibrates with the music tempo.

小短片的心得

無意間從某個人的名片看到上面那則小短片，
短片的拍攝者長得非常華人，可是動作跟講話卻完全是一個美國人，
好像一個白人塞在黃種人的身體裡面，很有趣、也很怪異...。

如果，我有小孩，結果接受西方教育，也變成"香蕉"，
哈哈...我可能會冷笑三聲...
然後心理暗想：OMG! This my child.
What the hell of the U.S. education done to him
and made my asian baby become a white one.
幹...他連白人歧視墨西哥人都學起來了~
雖然他很可愛，但這樣還是不行。
