The Kooks - Konk

團紅了,當然一切都不一樣了.
說說我最初認識的Kooks吧:害羞,隨性,用著迷人的pop旋律征服了數萬人. 第二張專輯沒有人不期待,也更怕受傷害,我想如今我是有一點受傷了.
Konk並不是張壞專輯,只是非常喜愛Kooks隨性風格的我對於Konk的精緻有些不習慣,第一次聽完我竟然有些失落--The Kooks好像被埋在眾多近掘起的英國團中了. 不過也幸好每天我有許多的通車時間可以讓我再多熟悉Konk ,許多首歌當中捨棄了Kooks的trademark acoustic節奏, 而是使用了許多的distortion與一些我不知道該怎麼稱呼的聲音,這樣新的嘗試是一種細聽才會得到的驚喜. The Kooks依然擁有強烈的pop節奏, Luke緊張又急促的嗓音雖成熟許多也還不失催人發狂的魅力. Konk不如第一張專輯catchy,但還是有不少適合夏天音樂季的合唱曲. 已經二十幾歲的他們,再回去寫像是十六歲時寫出的Naive這樣的歌也是挺怪的吧!

The Age Of Understatement

Finally!The Last Shadow Puppets 前幾天在紐約開始了第一場表演,雖然是acoustic也感覺的到這些歌的力量.同時他們的網站上也放了'The Age Of Understatement'的mv,特別到俄羅斯拍攝還真的是有他的道理.'The Age Of Understatement'完全不像Arctic Monkeys和The Rascals,不但用了很多弦樂營造epic氛圍,Alex和Miles聲音的互相配合也把整首歌放大,就像一部老電影的原聲帶一般讓人緊張又享受.他們在俄羅斯拍的這支mv用了好多的象徵影像,而這兩個英國小子也還是用著自己一貫的步調一邊唱歌一邊穿越(take that!?)這些威權與傳統的age of the understatement.....

Hate is a strong word

but I really really really don't like some of the things such as: 腐敗的制度,白目的人,難喝的咖啡,...etc.這次的mix tape是我對這些事物的感覺--憎恨,無奈,氣憤--但這些鳥事和鳥人卻幾乎每天都會遇到,除了恨得讓我輾轉反側無法入眠外,我永遠會記得聽個幾首以下的歌曲,希望這些醜陋的human behavior永遠不要侵蝕我

MP3:
Plain White T's-Hate (I Really Don't Like You)
Arctic Monkeys-Fake Tales Of San Francisco
The Hives-You Got It All... Wrong
Hot Hot Heat-Bandages
Björk-Human Behavior

The Beatles-Think For Yourself
Coldplay-Politik
The Strokes-I Can't Win
Nirvana-Territorial Pissings
Franz Ferdinand-This Fire
Mansun-Disgusting
Bob Dylan-Ballad of a Thin Man

The 80th Oscar

自從三台還有在現場轉撥Oscar的那個年代開始它就是我每年最期待的典禮.觀影習慣也從小時候從典禮提名名單來找電影來看,轉變為現在藉由網路的傳播能力target下一部可能留名的好電影.今年有許多很棒的電影(Once, Juno, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood...etc)都是從網路的trailer,reviews等管道吸引住我的目光也影響了全世界的觀影人並且在第80屆的Oscar綻放光芒.
Some of the winners of this year's Academy Awards are:

[Best Picture]
No Country for Old Men

[Achievement in Directing]
Joel & Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men )

[Best Actress]
Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose)

[Best Actor]
Daniel Day-Lewis( There Will Be Blood )

[Best Supporting Actor]
Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men )

[Best Supporting Actress]
Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton )

[Achievement in Cinematography]
There Will Be Blood

MP3: Jonny Greenwood-Proven Lands

[Best Original Screenplay]
Juno

MP3: Sonic Youth-Superstar

[Best Adapted Screenplay]
No Country for Old Men

[Best Animated Feature Film]
Ratatouille

[Best Original Song]
Falling Slowly (Once)

MP3: Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová-Falling Slowly

[Best Original Score]
Atonement

今年的典禮感覺還算緊湊,主持人Jon Stewart話也不多但每一句都很有笑點.最讓我意外的獎項當然是Best Supporting Actress,Oscar有時候真的就是會有出乎意料的結果~(Cate永遠是我心中最棒的leading lady!)典禮當中有一些時刻是讓我感動,興奮或是緊張的,當然也有時候我會跑開做些別的事,在家看頒獎典禮的我們感到很舒適自在但是在典禮會場的眾明星們應該坐到屁股有點麻了吧!幸好還是有一些很有趣的presenters(Seth Rogen和Jonah Hill爭相扮演Halle Berry),鏡頭也不時帶到一些帥哥(George Clooney, James McAvoy,Johnny Depp),還有一些平常不太有機會在媒體曝光的演員都出席,並且還可以從明星們的穿著看出Red is the new Black!

cheers!
