Sleep by Azura Ray

Every once in a while I listen to a song and just instantly fall in love with it the first time I hear it.
This is one of those songs.
I listen to it when my restless mind keep me from a good night's sleep, and when I look for inspiration.
This is the song I've been addicted to after Heaven or Hell and 小情歌.

avocado must die

My genius cyberlover made a contribution to mankind by starting on her blog about a random but very thought-provoking question--

If there is one kind of food that you could annihilate, what would that be?

Her answer is goat cheese.

Mine has to be avocado.

The world would be better off without it.

How can one eat something that looks like a gigantic tropical rain forest worm?

And I don't need to know about the nutritional information of it.

I can stand guacamole if i eat it with my eyes closed.

California would still be a lovely city without california roll.

Dragon roll should be called as slimy caterpillar roll.

我知道有兩個人想消滅香菇!!

my dear ex-roommates:

Heard about ur happy Saturday night out from my cyberlover/spy.
I envy envy envy u!
How can u guys party till 5am without me?
That's exactly the ideal Saturday night I should be living!

樓下的Broadway singer還常常一大早做發聲練習嗎?
以前總覺得要穿越行進速度很慢的tourists去倒垃圾, 很新鮮又很不耐煩
交房租的時候被假陽具和SM制服圍繞還會不自在嗎?
這個月的on demand播什麼電影?
Grey's Anatomy真的好好看
忘了跟妳要妳的coconut cake recipe
台灣沒有鴨舌讓我魯手很癢
晚上12點還是會煮一杯冰咖啡
party完沙發很好睡. 小心不要著涼喔!
Terry金庸看到哪裡了?
The number 10036 still means a lot to me.

謝謝有任意門的A-di幫我拍的照片捏

A Piece of Summer. A Piece of 陳綺貞

風雨生信心
兩個颱風眼反而替演唱會加溫
好不容易買到陳綺貞的票
一定要在mid-summer的暴風圈裡
have a piece of 陳綺貞

前一個小時
台上奏著清爽淡雅的陳氏流行小曲
鼓,吉他, bass,手風琴陸續加入
編曲下很多功夫, 曲目編排也流暢

印象中以前參與過的演唱會都是歌手一出場
全場一起從椅子上彈跳起來
這次我試著讓自己習慣沒有互動的表演方式
沒有需要活動到脖子關節的節拍
卻終究不敵
在酥軟的呢喃聲裡神遊到某遙遠不知名的銀河系

第二段開場
吉他手讓我們在室內也逃不過暴風雨的侵襲
我納悶為什麼這不是Muse的演唱會
明明21排35,37號與搖滾區只有走道之隔
熱血奔放的我和小新
膝蓋早已蠢蠢欲動想要跳起來
醞釀已久的衝動
直到特別嘉賓-順子出現
終於得以不停止的發洩

皺著眉再一次確定在那身白色多層次連身洋裝下
真的是一件牛仔褲
處處透露著陳綺貞的調調 : 浪漫而內省 ...and doesn't show any skin.
下半場以紅色為視覺基調配合快歌
陳綺貞的rocker look很正點

從未發表過的新歌【失敗者的飛翔】很好聽
但我需要再聽一次才會懂她所說的意境:
"有的人看到天空會想:還好我有一雙腳可以踏在土地上;有的人想要一雙翅膀在天空飛翔"
唱了兩次【躺在你的衣櫃】
不同的編曲, 兩次不嫌多
倒是令我回想起往事, 在夜裡whining的【華麗的冒險】缺席了
啊!我要聽妳唱"瘋狂的夢沒有了你還有什麼用"!

演唱會在一首首hit songs後結束
安可了兩首還有歌迷用大聲公嘶吼不肯離去
欣賞她特有的低迴與簡潔
她其實是害羞內斂的鄰家女孩
也是無比敏感的音樂人

想問她, 如果一開始就是快歌會不會幫助她快一點開嗓?!
聽了一場品質很好,穩紮穩打
但沒有太多驚喜的演唱會
嗡鳴的吉他riff還在耳邊陣陣地響

Les Savy Fav & Mario Batali

*演唱會拖光光這檔事, 一二十年前就已經被玩到爛掉了, 上個月底銀杏Boyz露小GG真的不要小題大作, ok的ok的!!*

Les Savy Fav是indie artist界響噹噹的團
當初聽他們第四張專輯"Go Forth"只覺得很好聽,很優秀
沒有太注意長相
但暗自想像是Oasis or Nine Inch Nails
多前後,專輯不知丟哪
紐約繞了一圈也無緣聽到他們live
但他的歌一直是午夜夢迴時縈繞心頭的瑰麗記憶
前不久在Village Voice看到他們在Bowery Ballroom演唱的照片
原來本人長這樣...
還是要堅強地說
我的美夢沒有碎
其實
不論啤酒度大小
頭髮濃或密
只要是好音樂
一站上台
吉他弦一播
一樣讓台下瘋狂
把他當性感尤物模拜

就像我喜歡看my favorite food network star Mario Batali煮菜
超sexy耶
看他那肥滋滋的手煮pasta
都覺得像是鋼琴家一樣揮汗彈琴

how much would you pay for a phenylethylamine rush?

Life is too short to eat cheap chocolate, but i thought about the fact that half of the world lives on $2 per day when I saw the price of the most expensive chocolate in the world: $250.
Knipschildt’s “La Madeline au Truffe” is $250 for a dark chocolate - about $2,600 for a pound.
I'll spend the money on a uni boat.

要去銀座找那最貴的巧克力 (about 3,000 yen)
睡前在飯店裡
配上香檳或紅酒...還是要uni好呢?
with my BEST FRIENDS!!!
再來一場pillow fight!!!

I'm going to get Dean and Deluca's 70% dark chocolate at Breeze Center now....YAY!!!

Muse

坐在直達台北的高鐵上
連聽MUSE三張專輯
一下心臟狂跳快沒呼吸
一下心臟要停了
I thought I can only experience that with someone I madly in love with.

從Origin of Symmetry開始
Prince般的假音, Rachmaninov style的琴音, 科幻片才會出現的space rock
I know I'm in presence of genius.
Matt Bellany泣訴 "I’ll destroy this world for you."
"wash me away, clean your body of me, erase all the memories, they only bring us pain."
嘶吼 "paradise comes at a price that I am not prepared to pay."
再到church organs與Matt狂風暴雨的嗓音翻轉
我心臟真的要停了
Muse屌翻了

I think Muse has the answer to how the world may end.

十天前Muse在Fuji Rock
今天在Madison Square Garden
Sonia and Charlotte, are you ready to rock?

I'm glad today sucks

"Every living creature on earth dies alone."

"I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to."

They are my fav lines from Donnie Darko.
