Open Windows

Death Cab與Current TV合作了半小時的影片Open Windows ,記錄了新專輯的錄音過程還有表演的片段:

"Open Windows" is a Current TV exclusive documentary looking at the recording of Death Cab for Cutie's new album "Narrow Stairs," the final days at home in Seattle for the band before they embark on their 2008 tour, and their first shows playing the new songs in front of fans for the first time ever. Featuring interviews and live performance."

Viva La Vida

The title track from the new Coldplay album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends is available to download on iTunes! And you can get the song A Spell A Rebel Yell from the free NME 7" published this week.

有人說"21 and the world is yours,"但我不認為在做了20年世界的奴隸後我可以瞬間掌握全局.在屈服於社會規範與抗拒潮流的同時,21年就好像80年那樣漫長.雖然已經心智疲乏卻有著人生剛起步的孩子氣外表;歲月還沒有留下顯而易見的痕跡,內心意識卻早已傷痕累累.於是我想起了那首Wordsworth的詩My Heart Leaps When I Be Hold --

          My heart leaps up when I behold
            A rainbow in the sky:
        So was it when my life began;
        So is it now I am a man;
        So be it when I shall grow old,
            Or let me die!
        The Child is father of the Man;
            I could wish my days to be
        Bound each to each by natural piety.

今天又是另一個美麗的風景,我還沒決定要不要去欣賞.

Songs I love today:
Mark Ronson (Bob Dylan remix)-Most Likely You Go Your Way (I'll Go Mine)
Andrew Bird-The Happy Birthday Song
Death Cab For Cutie-Long Division
Pulp-Help the Aged
Rufus Wainwright-Foolish Love

cheers

Jim

英國的靈魂歌手Jamie Lidell的Multiply在被電視劇Grey's Anatomy使用之後讓原本就被受推崇的他增加了不少知名度, 當然Jamie Lidell也從來沒有讓大家失望過. 許多人認為他會是今年的breakout artist,新專輯Jim不是一般的靈魂樂專輯,他具有特色的嗓音和迷人的electronic soul風格實在是難以抗拒,讓人忍不住隨著節奏搖擺.

In the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall,a production from Judd Apatow, Russell Brand plays the fictional band Infant Sorrow's frontman Aldous Snow. They actually recorded some songs and shot a music video for the song "We’ve Got to Do Something. " Is it just me or Russell Brand seems quite normal in America??

Here's the hilarious music video:
