Michael Jackson
R.I.P.
一代巨星殞落
這個從有記憶以來第一個認識的外國人...
記得小時候家裡一捲錄影帶
裡頭有Michael Jackson 從小時候Jackson 5 時期
到大概90年的所有MV
一堆奇裝異服跳著奇怪舞步的人、有趣的化妝特效和劇情
對還是幼稚園的我來說真的是酷炫新奇
印象最深的就是他和兔子尬舞那段
看完後那陣子還會模仿他的舞步和小動作...
一直很討厭那些邊唱歌邊跳舞的歌手
傑尼斯系的藝人、和台灣一些阿哩阿紮的
只是一味想耍帥
結果搞的歌唱得不好, 舞也不怎麼樣...
(雖然我承認幼稚園也是很迷小虎隊和草蜢@@)
不過唯一會讓我覺得超帥的只有Michael Jackson
跳舞就像是發射動感光波一樣
每個節奏每個舞步都有獨特吸引力
最有名的Thriller... 近來又因為印度麥可而喚醒眾人回憶= =
(其實完整版前面還有一小段)
Smooth Criminal
Leave Me Alone
(這mv真的很有趣, 1989年MTV最佳特效音樂錄影帶)
(忘記歌名...找了好久才找到)
Black or White等都是他最有名的歌曲
生髮水和大悶鍋那個變臉特效還是從Black or White的MV來的...
最後還滿喜歡他唱The Beatles的Come together

【村上‧喫茶】貝多芬:大公鋼琴三重奏
「這首曲子是貝多芬獻給奧地利的魯道夫大公的。...如果沒有他的話，貝多芬可能要走過更苦難的路吧。」
第一樂章 稍快的快板
幾番掙扎後還是去了台北愛樂室內樂坊的村上。喫茶
原本以為是抽到在國家音樂廳的極端村上之夜
結果只是小小的音樂沙龍...
不過場地小也有好處啦
離演奏者真的很近, 氣氛也滿溫馨的
前面先是兩首巴哈的大提琴和小提琴無伴奏組曲
接著是30分鐘以上的壓軸
貝多芬的大公三重奏
三種樂器在午茶中的對話
的確有一股吹過綠草叢的風般的氣味
《海邊的卡夫卡》裡星野為何會被這曲子吸引現在終於能體會了
聽到現場演奏更多了點難以言喻的雀躍
像是內心的什麼有被觸動到...
總之是很棒的演奏
Youtube好像一時也找不到書裡所提到1941年海飛茲、魯賓斯坦、費爾曼的百萬三重奏版本
找到的這不知名版本第一段速度好像比較慢...

[Green Day] 21 Guns
21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN(世紀大崩解)
隔了這麼久上個月總算出新專輯了,
這次的專輯整整18首歌曲,
分為 "Heroes and Cons"、 "Charlatans and Saints" 、
"Horseshoes and Handgrenades"三大部分,
並藉由一對愛侶Christian和Gloria作為故事的主角,
透過他們來傳遞出專輯想要探討的,
對於這個世紀人們所面對的混亂、不安...等多元現象
說故事的方式很像《American Idiot》
曲風也越來越偏流行搖滾,
比起來我還是喜歡早期吵鬧充滿活力的龐克風
不過現在他們似乎越能清楚表達創作理念,
專輯曲目也有所連貫, 編曲製作上較以前成熟

Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
