Oasis - The Shock Of The Lightning

Love is a time machine,up on the silver screen.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

I could watch Michael Cera for an entire day without feeling bored. The last time I saw an awkward,geeky,goofy,adorable plus music-loving modern indie kid on big screen was eons ago; thanks to the success of films such as Juno and Once, music now plays a tremendous part in some of the awards-receiving potentials. Like Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist- an adoption from the best-selling book with the same title- was about how a boy and a girl,having trouble with their love lives, met each other during a night out. I haven't read the book yet, just from the names featured in the movie trailer(Bishop Allen,We Are Scientists,Band of Horses, Richard Hawley...) I'm surely going to be anticipating this film. Besides, the story took place in one of my favorie city :New York, what's not to love?

Travis - Something Anything

The new video 'Something Anything' is actually the first single from the new Travis album Ode To J. Smith. This song was written by bassist Dougie Payne and will be released in the UK on September 15. As guaranteed, the song is rocking,enthusiastic and upbeat. I already felt 10 years younger!

The Shock of the Lightning!

Yep,I don't care that I've already posted an article about Oasis,I'm still gonna post a new one and that's just how much I love them. The official first single 'The Shock of the Lightning' was available for online download,I supposed all of you have felt the immense excitement around the blogosphere. So did the song live up to the expectations? I trusted that my beloved Gallagher brothers(a shout out to Noel!) deserves better than our expectations. I'm not being oblivious, I simply love everything they do and say(especially those drunken murmurs). And you've got to admit, Liam's voice has never been better! 'The Shock of the Lightning' is rocking, chugging and loud. It could drive any crowds crzay and will definitley sounds massive during the gig. It's said that Noel only took 10 minutes in writing this song, no wonder it's so fast and straight-in-your-face.
Check out the Oasis UK tour dates and the detail of the new album 'Dig Out Your Soul.'

Oasis-The Shock of the Lightning

Can you feel it?Can you taste it? You can definitely sense the sound of two orchestras and a colossal Oasis album coming--just like what Noel promised. This download-only promotional single Falling Down in almost like the essence extracted from the 60s; the drumbeat, the hammering bass pulled me back to the days when musicians were experimenting and putting as much resources in the song as they can. It wouldn't be an Oasis song without the brilliance of Noel's lyrics, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." Indulge yourself in the rockin' sound and be sure to go to a gig to see Oasis live(if you ever get the chance)!

Lucid Dreams

You can listen to the stream of Franz Ferdinand's new song Lucid Dreams on their website. The song is not a single but it could be included in the new album. It's been almost 3 years since the release of Franz Ferdinand's last album You Could Have It So Much Better, and the release date of the yet untitled third album has not been confirmed but was rumored that it could be the spring of 2009.

Come on, who wouldb't love Chris Martin as a king? Maybe not the common people but at least he's got 3 followers!

As you are

下週一(8/4)就是Travis台北演唱會了! 前些日子向友人介紹Travis而寫了一些小感想,還沒決定要不要去,或還沒機會聽到Travis音樂的朋友可以做為參考!

Travis整體的聲音比較柔,但也後勁很強.每種樂器都有強烈旋律性.組合成容易引起共鳴的節奏.
主唱Fran的音域極廣又溫暖,一年四季都適合聆聽.歌詞部份也是走溫馨路線居多,演唱會上萬人合唱總是可以激起強烈感情波動!以下是幾首我最喜歡的,或是他們比較有名的歌:

Why Does It Always Rain On Me[from 1999 "The Man Who"]
看歌名就懂,這是衰人的專屬主題曲.我們總是會有想大罵"x的 怎麼那麼衰"的時刻,而那些總是大聲罵的人可能就變成玩重金屬去了(no offense).含蓄的英國人則會轉為哀怨,然後把這首歌放到最大聲,扯著嗓門跟著大喊"Why Does It Always Rain On Me?"我在高中時因為這首歌而喜歡上Travis,
歌詞中"Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?"如同當頭棒喝,17歲的小毛頭都會流下悔恨的眼淚....

Writing To Reach You[from 1999 "The Man Who"]
這是首心碎的情歌,與情人分手後時間就此停滯,整個世界也左右顛倒,沒有秩序可言.這是很私人的歌,倒盡情傷之痛,就像"Killing Me Softly"那樣悲情.這首歌的基本旋律是從Oasis的Wonderwall"借"來的,歌詞中也提到了"Wonderwall",算對Oasis致敬吧!

Flowers In The Window[from 2001 "The Invisible Band"]
有Beatles中Paul McCartney式朗朗上口的美麗旋律,好像身在一個虛擬的夢幻國度那樣絢爛.當你找到了你生命中最重要的那個人,每個所到的地方都可以留下如花朵般的印記.這首歌可以讓你頓時感到心情暢快,充滿希望.

Closer[from 2007 "The Boy With No Name"]
這是去年發行的專輯中的第一首單曲,這張專輯製作過程中主唱Fran的孩子出生帶給他很多的靈感,所以這首歌有滿到溢出來的甜蜜,總是可以讓聽者臉上浮現一抹溫暖的微笑.超級catchy的旋律也捕捉了不少新樂迷.在無敵可愛的music video中,身為他們歌迷的Ben Stiller也客串一角喔!


Hope to see some of you at the concert,cheers!
