hiatus

這幾天開學了,原本以為可以照常來這寫些東西,沒料到開學竟然耗了我不少體力與腦力;這幾天電腦又出了些狀況,似乎該換新硬碟了,所有資料和音樂都在電腦 裡現在也只能借用Mac湊合一下,就當做是個小小的hiatus吧.
美國新一季的影集這周也開始撥了,希望本季的影集也有機會找到好的音樂!
cheers!

Blur

今年初開始就不斷有Blur要復合的消息,但是每回都是Alex或是Dave的一廂情願,Damon忙著自己的新團The Good The Bad and The Queen和音樂劇計畫,Graham除了自己的專輯外也是不太提到這件事.
不過這回好像真的見著了復合的曙光,NME報導表示Graham對復合計畫釋出了善意,現在就剩Damon還沒有表態,finger crossed!
說到Blur,除了我年輕時所著迷的Parklife還有13之外,就屬Graham的個人專輯最受我的喜愛;隨著年齡的增長,我對於Graham的音樂更是增添了許多的崇敬(尤其是去年的專輯Love Travels At Illegal Speeds 更是我的最愛之一)
沒有人能知道Blur結果到底會如何,不過光是Damon和Graham的才華就足夠讓我為了Blur的復合而再次充滿期待.
