我記得我當年連玩呢個都係一直老化緊,今次好似後生左喎,之前應該已經過左五十歲。
四十七歲,即係1960年出世。咁亦即係大約會係70年代中左右開始比較認真的去聽音樂,咁我最喜歡既樂隊大約都係會七十年代既野,咁樣作為一個The Who、David Bowie既樂迷,又鍾意去聽Led Zeppelin、Iggy Pop就唔會變左被邊緣化既怪人了!(邊X個得閒去邊緣化你呀?挑!)

Top 5
非常明顯是在模仿失戀排行榜。
比較懶,現在後補解釋。
Top 5 songs about Christmas
1. Jingle Bell Rock
沒有Jingle Bell、Santa Claus is coming to town那麼古老,1957年的作品。其實大部分聖誕歌都有很多的旋律,但因為歷年不停重覆播放而令貪新鮮的人們不再懂得欣賞,或許我也是一樣吧,這一首Jingle Bell Rock在香港比較少聽得到,可能亦只是因此而名列前矛。
我也喜歡這一首呢。
2. 雪人 - 范曉萱
為什麼呢?那個時期的范曉萱不是很偶像的嗎?對呀,但,不單只是這一首雪人,還有一首叫消失我也是很喜歡。由Intro開始已經捉著每一個少男的心吧?一句「好冷」,這就是少男殺手的威力吧?不過那個時期的范曉萱已經可以縯繹得如此出色,而在那些少女偶像還是去吃新鮮狗屎好了。
「雪一片一片一片一片……」當年那個音樂小魔女「范小萱」就此壓倒瘦皮猴法蘭仙納杜拉、搖滾巨人約翰連濃。
3. Happy Xmas(War is over) - John Lennon
怎麼說好呢?我始終認為我不會相信嬉皮仕那一套。可能是節日氣氛,可能是John Lennon,有時候,我們的確需要一些不太實際的希望,只是那個希望是美麗的,大概也不壞。
4. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
剪貼版是法蘭仙納杜拉版本,而事實這樣子的名曲實在太多人唱過,誰是原唱誰是最著名版本已經不再重要。我最喜歡的版本是《虎膽威龍 2》的片尾曲那一個。你可以幫我找找那是誰的版本,但我想不是Frank Sinatra,就可能是Bing Crosby。
5. Do they know it's Xmas? - Band Aid
我為人其實很多時都會包拗頸,當大家都認為聖誕節是普世歡騰的日子,而我看不出其中的原因的時候,我是很喜歡在搞對抗的。當然,Bob Gedolf寫這一首歌的目的是做善事吧,起碼看起來是如此。不過,我就是喜歡把他看成搞對抗的主題曲。
聖誕節的意義是甚麼?今年對我來說,應該是在公司的派對裡抽到一部Xbox360,還有就是收到一條頸巾作為禮物吧。二千多年前馬槽甚麼的,你真的有放在心上嗎?
6. Other songs come close...
Last Christmas by WHAM!,想擁抱你/HERO by Mr.Children,Christmas/Blue Tears by Judy and Mary,Thank God It's Xmas by Queen,今天應該很高興 by 達明一派,Angel Songs~午夜的鐘聲~ by The Brilliant Green,Santa Claus is coming to town

馬文蓋 VS 歷克宏比
在Nick Hornby的Songbook(中譯三十一首歌),他曾經高調地的說出,自己對馬文蓋,Marvin Gaye的音樂完全沒有感覺,即使這是多麼多麼偉大的一個名字。不知是原著的情節還是電影版本的安插,High Fidelity的最後一幕,卻是Barry(Jack Black飾,談起Jack Black,短成用來形容他的一個詞彙實在太貼切了……「肥西」)在唱出馬文蓋的名曲,Let's Get It On。
我自己一直很忽略那一段時光,Motown對我來說只是一個歷史詞彙,又或是一個印象,一個代表黑色的印象。而我一直最喜歡的,都是那些被白人剽竊去後漂染了不再Roll的Rock。但,對不起,馬文蓋這一首Let's get it on,我只能說,由歌曲到馬文蓋的聲線、演譯,比大衛寶兒還要性感,比那個性感了四十年的大衛寶兒性感並不容易。但,馬文蓋的歌聲仿似可以觸動每一個人的神經。
馬文蓋表現出來的那一種性感、那一種感性,或許我們都突然明白為甚麼自己不並女性歡迎。當你認識過一個細心、敏感的男人,還怎麼可能看得上那些只顧自己、從不體貼、不解溫柔的笨蛋?
當然,裝細心、敏感,卻又是很多男人最擅長的。John Cusack飾演的Rob,即使從不是甚麼大情人,偏激、暴躁、自私的性格亦使他一再失戀,但他亦可以憑此技倆上了片中的女歌手Marie DeSalle。大部分男人跟本沒有女性會喜歡的那種性格,但不少男人都很會裝的,相信我,男人都佷會裝,亦很愛裝……我認為我也是,實在令人感到很抱歉。

女孩,最喜歡是這種,你應該帶點害羞
本來應該是The Sentimental Animals的練習日,也是我熟練Tears in heaven後的第一次團練,卻因為短成只顧學彈杜絲先生自題曲It might be you,而我亦帶了High Fidelity的DVD,如此的好戲,當然是一放,大家就只顧看了……
High Fidelity似乎是一個語帶雙關係戲名,一方面是Hi-Fi的全寫,另一方面,亦以反義詞的身分指出主角經常失戀的原因。到最後,由John Cusack演出的角色Rob Gordon突然向女主角求婚,因為他終於了解自己經常失戀的原因,亦為此感到厭倦。
男人永遠花心,從底層原始角度出發去討論,是因為男人要找尋更多更多的配偶去進行繁衍。而從一個現代男人,一個還未進入不惑之年,對自己的思想行為仍然充滿好奇及疑問的人,我可以告訴你,Rob說男人都會幻想,會填補著眼前女人的未知部份,而且永遠都是過於樂觀,我是打從心底裡同意的。
我們說男人膚淺只愛看外表,但其實你問一百個男人,九十九個都會告訴你他們很明白性格好的女孩子其實比外表更優勝。每一個男人說的都是真心話,但每一個男人都只會著眼外表出眾的女性。我亦可以告訴你,那不是性慾,男人的性慾比女人想像的都要瘋狂,那是源自一份擔當起繁衍行為中要作為主動的天職的責任心。外表可以挑起一個男人的性慾,但也可以是其他東西,而且通常都是其他東西。
為甚麼?因而男人都會填充,而且填得太美了。看到女孩子表著光鮮手挽LV,他們會以為她的底褲必然是漂亮誘人。看到一雙白晰纖細的隻臂,會以為女孩出身一定潔白無比,毛髮應少的地方必少;看到女孩子一副楚楚可憐弱不禁風的臉蛋,就會想像女孩子必定是溫順可人那般討人可愛,還有會微笑的女孩都是好人、神情常常很憂傷的都很感性……
越多未知部份的女性,就越接近完美。
那就是為甚麼仍然很多已經不再在追捧偶像、把偶像的相片放在錢包的年紀,仍然因為那些金玉其外的女性偶像形象惹人好感,口頭上不說,心中已經假設了那些偶像是很好的女孩,如果她當上自己的女朋友是非常幸福的。
也對,某程度上本文是針對鄧X欣、周X淇而寫的。我為人性格不好,很習慣對看不順眼的人明批暗罵。
「有得食你唔食?」你是指只上床嗎?
P.S. 題是來自MC HOTDOG的「我們的PARTY最址」中由米兒絲唱的那一句,唱得很可愛很討得我歡心,但我不會因此喜歡米兒絲。

與球星對話唔知第幾回
「i am 滅罪之星 now...cannot do that thing」
呢位球星係邊個,that thing又係乜,大家可以自己估下。
正所謂「大埔有xx,去搵吹簫萍」,何其工整,邊個話香港地d波牛冇文化?
華家堡既陳sir終於頂唔住公開話自己d外援唔掂,其實艾歷辛度同衛奕信第一場已經話唔好,一早應該要換啦,搞到而家先話黎換,會唔會遲左d呢可?話衛奕信態度良好,艾歷辛度其實射術好只係有機會。作為一支護級球隊,外援如果唔係用黎壓陣領軍,做重心既,簽佢黎做乜?唔好話護級隊,中型班都冇乜空間去放一個純射手,打4-3-3至4-5-1,個lone striker冇個人能力,停唔到波上唔到波,要等人餵chance俾佢,不如算數啦。後面波比路甚至連比圖都不停派膠,冇人帶住既小朋友又點會踢得好呢……
尾場,耀仔出黎踢10分鐘都做到d野,到底大馬古點解係都唔肯用呢個可以令球隊踢得簡單直接既耀仔呢?放長線,兩邊傳中,朱基都唔會做呢d野,點解呀大馬古?「唔適合,總之唔適合,你睇波既,唔好問咁多。」實在係浪費左基奧雲尼。

大埔 VS 東方
重賽!
事緣和富大埔係上半場憑「大埔馬田斯」安基斯係禁區入面湧到個十二碼返黎,由慣常既劊子手巴西外援「假巴貝利」祖利亞操刀。
祖利亞窒步動作卻被同鄉「大件版口水巴夫斯」盧斯奧洞悉,窒步射十二碼既目的係呃對方門將先作出動作,自己先再射另一面,但盧斯奧冇動作下,祖利亞情急下一窒再窒,然後方才將皮球射入,被判射十二碼動作不連貫而違例。
合理丫。但球證鮑世賢竟然判東方獲自由球,大埔無重射機會。全場球迷立時起哄,但大部份都係話祖利亞咁射當然唔得、又或者話自己睇左幾十年波都未見過人窒步窒咁多下,講呢D既仲包括尹揚明,尾場完埋時見到佢一面行一面同李輝立講話「咁玩野,自己羅黎冇左個十二碼」。
看倌,首先講下射十二碼違例既問題。射十二碼違例既主要當局係分攻方違例同守方違例啦下(「廢話!」廢話?係立論既情況下,清晰闡述定義及類別是必要的)。任何情況下利益都係歸於冇違例既一方。
如果係守方違例,利益會歸攻方,射入既就照當射入,射唔入既仍然可以重射。
如果係攻方違例(例如祖利亞呢次),利益係歸守方,所以射入左既係要重射,射唔入就由得佢。亦即係,今次既判決絕對應該係重射。
鮑世賢好可能緊記住利益歸對方呢一個規則,但冇記起入同唔入既情況下利益既方別。
好喇,而家判左重賽。如果跟據返國際足協巴林對烏茲別克案例,香港足總係可以判重賽。當然,國際足協呢個判斷係唔係好,就有待商榷。但包括梁守志都話,如果誤判可以上訴有重賽,好容易失控。
首先我地要明白判重賽既埋據係乜。球證錯誤既情況場場波都有,問題係,好多例如出界入界、睇錯越位,球證一律係依照球例去執行,錯誤既情況係因為判斷有誤,例如入界睇成出界,踢唔中腳以為中左。
但佢錯誤睇成出界或中腳都好,佢依出界既球例照判角球,中腳既照判罰球/十二碼,甚至MIX埋,未入禁區界唔中腳當成禁區內中腳判十二碼,雖然事實上係錯,但佢係依自己既判斷按照球例去判,判斷錯,但裁決正確。極端D既有普爾俾左克羅地亞後衛史蒙歷三次黃牌先出示紅牌,事實當然係兩黃一紅,唔係三黃一紅,但因而佢判斷錯誤之處係佢記少左史蒙歷一張黃牌,而佢出示紅牌時,佢係按球例既兩黃一紅作決定,其實都歸入呢類。
但大埔對東方以及巴林對烏茲別克,球證係沒有根據球例作出判罰,呢個問題係比較大,因而代表住球證根本唔依例辦事,邏輯上同扔界外球唔過頭判罰十二碼,有場區球員用打籃球既方式去盤球並成功「入樽」取分而沒有判罰一樣,球證係作出準確判斷,卻不依球例去裁決。
邏輯係好清晰的,係可是分別成兩類既,而大剖份既錯判都係呢種判斷錯,但裁決正確,而作出準確判斷,卻不依球例去裁決兼完全扭轉局勢既情況相對其實好少好少。
當然,重賽是否需要又係一匹布咁長,如何定義球證判斷正確又係一個灰色地帶(當然,其實球證既賽後報告係應該要講出自己既判斷),但既然國際足協判過,香港足總依樣葫蘆就好難去責難了。

Let's smile
I know I'm nerdy, weird, and maybe cynical. Usually you won't tell people you are cynical because cynical is something...big, and it's too big to use to describe oneself which could and would make people think you are arrogant or pretentious. So when you want to tell people you think you are cynical, the humble way is to tell people you are nerdy and weird. And now I tell you I'm nerdy, weird and cynical. It's because I really and sincerely think that I'm nerdy, I'm weird and I'm cynical.
You see? I'm really telling your the truth down inside my heart.
Think about it. For god sake you have just had a fucking good day in Disneyland(and which is nearly impossible in real life), and you were going to take the very last photo. Your friends asked you, "Why couldn't you smile when you are taking photo?"
Okay, sure I could. But some of your bloody friends even asked, "Why don't you smile when you are taking photo? Don't you feel happy about today's trip?"
"Of course I'm happy."
"Why don't you smile then?"
"Look, I smile when I'm happy. It doesn't mean I'm not happy when I don't smile. That's the fucking logic and that's the basic knowledge which helps Isaac Newton understood what keeps the fucking moon in the fucking sky! I smile when I'm happy and when I want to. So do you always smile when you are happy? Why I didn't see you smile when you are in this fucking Disneyland all the time? Are you not happy about this trip?"
"Of course I'm happy. It's tired. Smile all the time is tired."
"So you finally make some sense."
"The logic things are gay. It's Greek. All Greeks are gay."
"Good Logic. Welcome to the gay world."
Just a joke. When it's logically valid, doesn't mean it's the fact. It's valid but doesn't sound. Apparently there's no prove or fact that can make "all greeks are gay" sounds. But that's the basic and simple idea, which is difficult enough for most of us.
Goodnight.

Please don't put your life in the hand of a rock 'n' roll band
我經常都希望找一首自己最喜歡的Oasis作品出來,原因不是因為它很困難而又很有挑戰性,雖然它也真的是很困難很有挑戰性。而原因是,我當我聽完一首又一首,就好像Rock 'n' roll stars又或是Live Forever、Supersonic,我都會由衷地撫心自問,「它怎麼可能不是我最喜歡的一首呢?應該就是它了吧?」
沒有騙你,是真的,就再兩、三個星期前我都一直在聽Definitely Maybe,而過去的一個星期我也在聽What's the story morning glory。Noel Gallangher曾經說,在某個不明的原因下他在那幾年首的歌首首都很好,如果他們把那個年頭的歌都儲起來留在往後的日子用作大碟,就不會讓傳媒有這麼多的機會說三道四了。
我們都會說,Oasis更像幾個流氓,不是音樂人。我想這就像那些古典菁英一樣,把「音樂人」升至一個自以為是、高人一等的門檻。
請答我,為什麼在飛機上醉酒鬧事的人不是一個音樂人?廣義的描述音樂人,大概就只是在製作音樂的人,即是要狹義地定義,最多也是「以製作音樂為生的人」、「比較理解音樂」、「比較能做出好音樂」之類,這些與醉酒鬧事、被人打掉一口門牙都是沒有矛盾的。
我從來就很討厭自以為自己比大眾高一個層次的人,所以我從來都很討厭一些惺惺作態、賣弄花巧的音樂。如果只是因為要追求創意、深度,就要玩出那些古靈精怪不賞心沒美感的電子音樂,又或者要追求就在搞一些故弄玄虛的死亡搖滾,我說啊,你都還沒有嗑藥在裝甚麼上頭?「好正」、「好正」背後還不是一個他媽的扮有型或不懂裝懂。
Intro好像Imagine、Chord Progression好簡單、歌詞內容模糊不清,我想也的確是可以用來挑剔Don't look back in anger的地方,但我想也只是僅此而已。但當你想到剽竊拼貼本來就是搖滾樂的奶粉、3-4個Chord是搖滾樂的傳統,我實在想不到如何去反對這一首歌被說成九十年代的其中一首經典作品。人在年青時總覺得被壓迫,做很多事都會被成年人制肘,一股怨氣,卻隨著一句Don't look back in anger吐了出來。Noel很擅長寫Anthem,聽一兩次你可能已經要跟著他點頭用力猛地吐出一句But don't look back in anger,這應該就是致命之處。或許歌詞含糊更令歌曲失去指定群眾的局限?我們都可以一起肆無忌憚地大唱,Sally跟Lyla是否姐妹誰還會去想?我們都不管,這首歌是Noel寫的,是他唱的,但我們不會感覺到這首歌是屬於他的,只要琴聲一奏起,我們全部都屬於這首歌。
而它要我們一起放聲大唱:
My soul slides away
but don't look back in anger
don't look back in anger
I heard you say
沒有騙你,是真的,就再兩、三個星期前我都一直在聽Definitely Maybe,而過去的一個星期我也在聽What's the story morning glory。Noel Gallangher曾經說,在某個不明的原因下他在那幾年首的歌首首都很好,如果他們把那個年頭的歌都儲起來留在往後的日子用作大碟,就不會讓傳媒有這麼多的機會說三道四了。
我們都會說,Oasis更像幾個流氓,不是音樂人。我想這就像那些古典菁英一樣,把「音樂人」升至一個自以為是、高人一等的門檻。

好久不見
「為甚麼會越寫越少呢?」
這個問題很難答,基本上就好像問你媽媽為甚麼男孩子有些東西是女孩子沒有一樣,難堪啊!
「為甚麼英格蘭出局你沒有在BLOG歡呼呢?」
是實我的確沒有歡呼,但打從心底裡高興卻是一個事實,沒有看球賽,起床是看戰果卻一樣感到老懷安慰,The Sex Pistol的God Save the Queen再一次成為當天的人生主題曲。"There's no future in England's dreamming!",Johnny Rotten的腐爛聲線當天聽起來最甜美了!不過,仍然沒能令我在那天寫BLOG。
題外話,替短成愛隊克羅地亞射進致勝球的Mladsen Petric柏特歷,是多蒙特的球員!11號,多蒙特已經很久沒有比較像樣的11號球員了,如果不算進靴列治被診斷出有腦瘤前那無堅不摧的上半季……
「為甚麼FM沒有令你在Blog上大談打機經呢?」
我想空談還不如開GAME吧!我一直都是用自己的身分去掌管多蒙特的,但今天我同時要教和富大埔,只好化多卡爾軒斯.列度(Karl-Heinz Riedle)去教多蒙特,沒有辦法喇,我喜歡的名宿也多在game還是有現身的。如果你不認識,列度是德國九十年代初至九十年代中的頭槌王,但他不是比亞荷夫或賀巴殊那一種長人中鋒,他比較像高路斯,還是矮一點但爆炸力更強亦更健碩,加盟多蒙特前曾出國效力拉素,及後晚年亦到過利物浦,在傷兵滿營的利物浦前鋒線合拍因利乘便打上了主力正選的奧雲。而他在多蒙特的高峰要數在97年的歐聯決賽實現了「夢幻的梅開二度」。甚麼是「夢幻的梅開二度」?因為決賽當天,在球隊的早餐時間,他跟隊友們說他昨夜夢到了自己梅開二度,一頭一腳……最終成為了事實!
我又想反問一句,為甚麼我的和富大埔有能力在第一季便簽下了夏積?他可是在98世界杯打出身價的著名球星之一啊!財雄勢大又好,財大氣組又好,羅生未辦到的事我都辦到!在fm中……
「為甚麼……」
我說啊……如果甚麼事都有答案的話,人生就不會比湯麵還複雜。(改編自「世上最愛是爸爸」的善三,明石家秋刀魚飾)

We see things they'll never see
突然想起一個問題,如果明天……其實應該說明晚,我可沒有向公司請假……是中學同學的聚會,特別是指中六、七那些,我想除了發現了他或她結了婚,離開了六十年以外,我最大機會是遇到這一個問題:「喂,Penny,最近在聽甚麼歌啊?」(按:因而網名叫Penny Hardaway,那個年頭很多人叫我做Penny,其實這個名亦從來沒有成為過我的官方英文名)
我在中六、七的時候開始是個有名的沉迷「鬼佬歌」的怪人。不知道如果我答:「還是中六、七那時候聽的那些。」大家會有甚麼返應?
事實上我最近不停地在聽definitely maybe,很舊?半新不舊吧。
做人可能是「最緊要進步」,聽歌我想不用了,最重要還是感動得到自己。七年過去,我仍然是最欣賞"You and I are gonna live forever"的那一份情懷。據Noel說,他是Nirvana及Kurt Cobain的超級樂迷,卻又完全不欣賞"I hate myself and I want to die"的那一份情懷,他自己是Live Forever的。這就是理性欣賞了吧?我喜歡Oasis也不用在搭飛機時經常撩事鬥非。
這也可能是一個英倫Brit pop對西雅圖Grunge Rock的重要回應,對啊!Brit Pop龍頭回應Grunge Rock龍頭。也可能是因為這樣,縱使我認為Nirvana的音樂應該很適合我,卻遲遲沒有買過任何一張Nirvana的唱片,那應該是原自我對自怨自憐、自我沉溺的一份戒心。我覺得那真的是很可怕,我認為你可以發怒、罵人、打人、打爛出現在你面前的任何一件樂器、把怒氣發洩在任何酒瓶、柚子蜜樽以至女人的身體上(但要合法),而不是自以為充滿怨氣無處發洩而一直裝著受到傷害,自以為很有型(我相信,起碼Kurt Cobain真的很有型,但平常人通常都沒有Kurt Cobain的百份一)。幹他那媽的「受到傷害」,我最喜歡的東西叫做堅強。
不是我沒有痛害,但即使入骨,我仍然是要Live Forever,這首Live Forever從音樂上,情感上都是他媽的精彩。當你想像到萬人大合唱這一首近來兩次被選為Greatest Indie Anthem Ever的經典,全場一起大叫"You and I are gonna live forever",那種凝聚而來的精神力量,簡直仿似可以結聚成一炮元氣玉。
(其實從音樂上這首Live Forever一樣有不少可談之處,例如作一首Anthem的技巧—用少一點音符、多用長音……又或是那種似有還無的verse and chorus form、Noel第二段結他solo,亦即是ending的call and response令我想起Stairway to heaven……等等等等)
首尾呼應嘛,回應一下開場白,其實不容易,因為我不相信會有那種聚會。即使有,我也肯定不會出席。

摔角 - Judas Mesias vs Eric Young
好明顯以我既年紀,唔會係睇安東尼奧豬木/虎面人/君子馬蘭奴果d年代既摔角手。最先睇既,當然係亞視既週末摔角大狂熱,果陣播既係WCW,渣流灘得好緊要既。果陣主持有文雋同成日係節目到著哂短裙既鬼妹仔譚筠怡,旁述就有化名籮文離開左有線冇耐既林曉峰。
之後係有線就有睇下ECW,講既有丁偉傑同埋前港隊門將沙皮劉棟平。之後就有豬肉人同神奇女俠主持既日本摔角,聯盟名就唔知了,果陣打既有好似蝶野正洋、武藤敬司、長洲力果一代。
嚴格黎講我唔係摔角迷,但其實我覺得摔角真係好鬼好睇,摔角手性格塑做、招式創意已經夠好玩,加埋d真人做雜耍、出其不意既plotline,真係好有趣。間中仲有D都真係打得好癲,睇ECW就真係見過有條人拎個刨出黎,睇住佢係個台上面刨人個額頭刨到出哂血,真係兒童不而。
就好似早兩日唔覺意夜晚係now睇到呢個TNA,我睇wcw時最鍾意既Sting而家都係打緊呢個,呢個Eric Young 由一行出黎已經交足戲,俾呢個成隻鬼咁、帶住冇眼珠con個口仲要吐住血既Judas Mesias嚇到面都青哂,之後俾佢打到爆哂釭成頭血,但果個以魔鬼殘酷形象出現既Judas Mesias仍然不停打頭,睇到我都真係有D驚驚地。

一人結紮
到底為何聲稱寫BLOG會方便了,更新卻變得更慢?這個問題就好像問董建華到底八萬五跑到那裡去了一樣,令人非常尷尬。
還好我這個承諾毫不重要,雖然下巴輕輕又短視,過份樂觀計算混帳,終究影響不了多少人。相比我們當年那位慈祥但又毫無政治眼光的特首,我想「講到明要打實」我的人應該沒有多少 — 我不如老董矣。
這也是我從來不會高估那些高官的原因。可能有時他們都比我們聰明、精明,但仍不足以「做好自己自己份工」;有些笨得仿似弱智;又有些精明得我們這些常人難以計算,被他們撈取了利益仍絲毫不知底蘊。記得科大商學院院長陳家強出仕,學園傳出一片「鼓舞」、「高興」、「興奮」,學生們大呼與有榮焉。
端的是「一人結紮,全家光榮」。
不時說結紮不光榮。就算結紮有如當高官一般「光榮」,也不見得他老爸紮了跟兒女有何干,這不是事件的性質既問題,而是根本性的邏輯問題。何況有人結紮了,還只是方便四處拈花惹草方便中出,要榮還是等到結紮那個安安份份後才榮吧……不過仍然是根本性的邏輯問題。
真的呼與有榮焉?

當我膠up
煲呔文革論,檯面批評、要求道歉聲音不絕於耳,檯底下眾人竊竊私語,暗笑不止。
結合現今網民用語,煲呔是次言論可以稱為「派膠」。網民派假膠固然冇人知道姓名,換個網名又一條好漢;即使係政黨人士派假膠,多數亦可以用混亂邏輯去騙過思想唔太清晰或對事件認識不深既部分群眾。
派膠,我都真係未見過好似煲呔呢種當住你面除褲派咁赤裸裸。
將文革誤認為民主之極至,當然係膠不可及,有人認為出為曾特首露出馬腳,如余若薇;有人認為是笨人失言,如大部份巿民。而我自己,睇返當日直播煲呔既面部表情精神面貌,我認為煲呔此乃「真心膠」,另一句網絡語言可以稱之為「柒到冇朋友」。
最有趣既地方係,作為特區行政首長,作為香港行政及政治走向既領導人,居然會係呢一個題目上派膠,就好似港聞版記者竟然同港女一樣指住曾灶財叫曾蔭權(都是煲呔當過財爺惹的禍),整餅師父彷似小朋友一般指住白粉話係麵粉,果然係「人人都可以做大廚」,或者亦係「柒人都可以做特首」。
當然,每次遇上大是大非既時候,總有死士會拍硬檔出黎用細眉細眼去開脫,當年陳鑑林就曾經獨具慧眼,睇穿七一遊行係街上之人都係受唆擺,鏡頭前,面紅耳熱助老董。記得克林頓在任期間食雪加,令人印象最深刻既一句既評語係「道德像隻豬,卻是好總統」。不過,克林頓食乜野加料雪加、將子孫散播到何處,呢個所謂道德問題與當總統無關,因為當總統不是用細佬的(事實所有男人都有兩個器官可作思考)。但我不能不擔心曾特首會否突然有一天用心苦推行民主,推至極止在本港來一場文化大革命,「真心膠」同施政,都係關於腦袋的。
係,好偏激、好極端,亦全無建設性。我只認為﹐即使有人身居某榮光之職,其人未必可敬,其見識亦未必廣博。如果一個榮光之職,上頭要求既係行政能力、虛榮心同埋奴性,位居此職既人可能真係只有過人既行政能力,異乎常人既虛榮心同埋超越你我想像既奴性。大眾想像中既理想、抱負、廣闊胸襟、遠大目光、明白事理,「管他媽的」?
「研究唔深刻姐,hehehehe!」

梨花夢
簡介也省下了,返正我不是話劇迷,所謂簡介亦只會是在把網上的資料消化重寫,有興趣的人大可似自己到google看看。
天地清明,人心到底可時才可以不再自私,不再作假、不再虛偽?
最後一幕,全劇演員穿回時裝站在台上,古裝的就只有在台深處唱曲的黑、白二妞,以及台前的老殘。落幕前,飾演老殘的謝君豪回頭一望,凌厲眼神,雖然我坐在高處,亦非與其眼神正面接觸,但亦不禁撫心一問,天地清明,難道我自己也真的沒有自欺欺人?
人心不能單以行為去判斷,縱使一個人行為端正,恭順孝廉,妨似毫無野心與世無爭,活脫脫是一個完人。但其心是否真正清明?所作所為是否真正並沒有計算,一切正直隨心而發?齊河城有名流、有節婦、有清官,俱有美名流傳於城,但真正心正清明,言行隨心,除了一個世外高人瘋和尚,就只有兩個出口傷人言詞尖酸的唱曲女子。粉飾而來的善與美,庸脂俗粉,脫下濃妝,不值一哂。
有人裝作一往情心,有人看似毫無機心,但事實一切俱為「假、偽」,大抵再吞下十數次還魂香,我們看到的世界裡人們仍然要用「假、偽」為自己樹立形象,好有頭有面地存活下去。沒有人逃得出去,你、我,心境也一早混濁不清,我們都在努力去「當」自己,把自己好好演繹。
「誰不識花兒好?奈何人易老」
只盼人們還懂欣賞這一朵花。

Do you still in love with blur?
今早,把Discman內的Led Zeppelin取出,取而代之的是blur的精選,就像早前Iggy Pop為Led Zeppelin取代,Tommy被Iggy Pop取代一般。
曾幾何時,人們談起blur,我會跟他們說我很喜歡blur。
但不知在那個時候開始,我漸漸地把那一份鍾情淡化了,久未有聽blur的唱片,甚至在Facebook我亦沒有把它列作我最喜愛的樂隊之一。原因非常有可能是因為Damon Albarn的那一種惺惺作態,你不能否認,當你在看Graham Coxon離隊的來龍去脈,以及之後看見Damon那隨時歡迎Graham歸隊的宣言,你就很容易把Damon當作奸人,把Graham看成忠的。
再說回頭多一點。我到底時那個時候開始留意外國流行音樂的呢?我想,不計那些小孩時代已經聽到懂得跟著唱的那一些,我第一首列作最喜愛的,是blur的The Universal。
今天晚上聽來,突然有一種回到原點的感覺。原來blur的音樂聽起來仍然是滿有趣味,仍然會令我動容。Led Zeppelin、Iggy Pop以至The Who,都是純粹地因為他們在我耳中是很好的搖滾樂手,所以我喜歡他們。像blur、oasis、suede這些,那個年頭自己連為甚麼要去聽音樂也還未知道,那個所謂喜歡應該要更多人一點。
原來blur對我來說也是很重要的。聽到Tender、No Distance Left to Run,就會記起那個跟女孩子說話還會感到不好意思的年代,End of a Century如何替我訴說出一個又一個學校假期的無聊下午的心情,For Tomorrow如何使自己學會漠視挫折,不在失敗中失去自我,還有那白痴卻仍然令人由心而笑的Park Life、Girls and Boys、Country House……
聽到Coffee and TV的那幾粒無形地豐富了本來沉悶的Chorus的主結他音符,以至solo及ending的effect、For Tomorrow那outro之前,一層一層地層遞變厚的編曲當中那令人動容的結他Riff,都不技術性(但事實上blur的技術比很多人想像中強很多,Damon及Graham在side project都顯示出他們都有能力駕馭毫不簡單的音樂,而像亦是他們的音樂可以遊走於不同的類型的原因,因為他們不單單靠感覺,他們懂的。而你偶爾亦可以發alex及graham的技術其實是意想不到地強,只是blur的音樂取向是有點簡單而已),但你可以從中知道,Graham懂得如果使用結他奏出令人難忘的音樂。我確定了,我很喜歡blur—當年那一隊擁有Graham Coxon的blur。

今天晚上聽來,突然有一種回到原點的感覺。原來blur的音樂聽起來仍然是滿有趣味,仍然會令我動容。Led Zeppelin、Iggy Pop以至The Who,都是純粹地因為他們在我耳中是很好的搖滾樂手,所以我喜歡他們。像blur、oasis、suede這些,那個年頭自己連為甚麼要去聽音樂也還未知道,那個所謂喜歡應該要更多人一點。
原來blur對我來說也是很重要的。聽到Tender、No Distance Left to Run,就會記起那個跟女孩子說話還會感到不好意思的年代,End of a Century如何替我訴說出一個又一個學校假期的無聊下午的心情,For Tomorrow如何使自己學會漠視挫折,不在失敗中失去自我,還有那白痴卻仍然令人由心而笑的Park Life、Girls and Boys、Country House……
聽到Coffee and TV的那幾粒無形地豐富了本來沉悶的Chorus的主結他音符,以至solo及ending的effect、For Tomorrow那outro之前,一層一層地層遞變厚的編曲當中那令人動容的結他Riff,都不技術性(但事實上blur的技術比很多人想像中強很多,Damon及Graham在side project都顯示出他們都有能力駕馭毫不簡單的音樂,而像亦是他們的音樂可以遊走於不同的類型的原因,因為他們不單單靠感覺,他們懂的。而你偶爾亦可以發alex及graham的技術其實是意想不到地強,只是blur的音樂取向是有點簡單而已),但你可以從中知道,Graham懂得如果使用結他奏出令人難忘的音樂。我確定了,我很喜歡blur—當年那一隊擁有Graham Coxon的blur。

Baby we were born to run
我這一個星期都在聽Concert for New York City的Disc two。我曾經很希望寫一篇有關The Who的現場演出,談一談那是如何非凡,如何令人難以至信地把能量轉化成聲音。
後來,我又曾經想談一談大波士Bruce Springsteen的Born To Run是如何一首定義性的搖滾樂曲,完全乎合了搖滾樂應有的男性暴力能量以及逃避壓迫的自由奔放。
有一個早上,當我在上環正優哉悠哉地聽著剛才提到的那一片CD上班,剛聽到一位名為Melissa Etheridge的女歌手在Acoustic自彈自唱版本Born To Run,就在她唱起一句「Tramps like us, baby we were born to run」,我前方的一位本來正在急步趕上班的OL,在歌聲下開始拔足狂奔,相信她是遲到了……
實在很巧合,第二晚,我跟我家姐都因為經過一天辛勞的工作而疲憊不堪,兩人都沒有洗澡便睡著了。凌晨時候先後醒來及爭沖涼房,當我沖完涼後,本來決定要開始玩無雙大蛇,卻在轉台時發現電影台正在播放一套事後發現是不值一提的爛片魔鬼屍餐續集(Jeepers Creepers 2)。好不容易看完了,卻發現另一電影台剛剛開始播放失戀排行榜(High Fidelity)。
而且Bruce Springsteen拿著結他客串現身了一會兒。
之後的一個早上,到我差點遲到了……他朝君體也相同?不見得,我能夠保持優雅,急步走就可以了……
搖滾樂絕對不是一味地嘈一味地快,The Who用中板的速度就能把Concert For New York City—就像Queen用那些經典合唱搖滾偷了Live Aid一樣—給偷去了,Born To Run不用很快,但完完全全地鈎畫出那種搖滾樂的自由奔放,暴力、熱情跟賊頭賊腦是不同的。
年青,逃走,雖然孤獨但一直追尋,踏上旅程,永不回頭,當然,還要熱情地跟著大波士,一起嚎叫。
Born To Run
by Bruce Springsteen
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, its a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybodys out on the run tonight but theres no place left to hide
Together wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I dont know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and well walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

與球星對話黎講
唔係陳旭智啦。
對公民一場,陳旭智犯個低級錯誤,見哂報,真係威。其實場波之前一直踢得唔錯,點知搞呢壇野,加埋d前因後果即時入左冷宮。
點知今場對流浪,祖爾半場唔頭,撞親後腦,頂多十幾二十分鐘都係頂唔住,要換,仲要即時call白車去廣華照,佢老婆都去埋,但冇帶個仔走……祖爾仔第二場唔駛睇波,係十七、八段走黎走去,同個0靚妹係到「捉依因」……(之前陳旭智捉過佢過黎俾我影相,但佢死扭唔肯)
陳旭智咁又有得踢喎,都唔錯,保持到球隊既防守戰術,一捕一包呢個高梵……
最近某本地波輪壇係到講本地球圈邊個最快,d人連葉志豪都講埋(唔係話佢唔快,但佢唔係真係好快,而且體能同身位……踢波唔係下下都有人讓條跑道俾你架嘛)……好老實近兩季我睇過既波,冇一個夠高梵快掛?呢個真係快到冇譜,安基斯又好,梁子成又好,快極都冇高梵咁誇,起跑果下d爆炸力真係火箭咁,仲要身位同平衡力都好好,對聯牛第二球就係平衡力加速度既表現,一拍之下凌空仍然冇失平衡,落地即時起步推,邊線傳中被解圍但防中友友禁區頂撞射,射都網都爭d穿咁。
講返對公民果場,果場係當日頭場,尾場係流浪對聯牛,開波冇耐就有個著住流浪練習衫既人坐左係我隔離(離四五個人左右既空位),睇睇下佢突然問身後面d人「大埔個10號仔係大陸仔定香港人?」後面果班應該係大埔既青年軍,個個望住佢冇反應,我咪答佢「係香港人黎」。
之後我搵左陣書唔見流浪入面有佢,到流浪落場見佢著三十號,我先醒起佢應該係潘文俊,本身都叫做掛左靴(好後生掛靴,但香港球員就係咁,都仲踢緊奧運隊既唐健文都想掛靴,搞左一輪先話繼續踢,借左去東方仲踢得唔錯,香港球員係會因為前途問題而收山的),業餘咁踢過乙組既石硤尾,今季去左流浪做助教,但人腳唔夠佢註冊埋做球員。
(desktop仍然未救援,要死既始終會死,未死既唔會被傳染,慢慢黎唔駛急,我估都係display card架喇……而家d新display card係咪都係行pci express,好少agp架喇?)

You know you're from HKUST when ...
You are not surprised by the beauty of any other campus on the planet. - I'll say
You sleep during the day and work during the night. - Used to. Not for now
You think your university is the best in Hong Kong and Asia. - Yeh, and i know the it's vague but everyone have their own definition of goodness
Your friends admire those students' amenities at seafront and such a wonderful sea view at campus. - Most of my friends either HKUST graduates, students, never visit HKUST or visited HKUST too often
You have so many mid-terms, papers and projects while your friends from other university don't. - I don't have too many friends from other universities
You assume that the student amenities, how fine they are, are free of charge. - I think so
You feel it commonplace that your teachers are from schools like MIT, Stanford and Harvard. - Not many in my department but it doesn't mean my teachers are bad. They are either making good in research or teaching or both. So don't be that fucking arrogant, business slickers
You truly understand that it is University of STRESS and TENSION. - why not?
CGA represents everything. - fuck cga
You freeze your ass off in the library because the air conditioner is on full blast in winter. - I don't know. It's the place for people to study or squeeze their bf/gf and i didn't study and I didn't have bf(!)
Exchange students tell you "isn't UST for University of Sightseeing and Tourism?" - not for those i know
You don't have to take care whether it rains or not because you can simply walk through bridges, lifts and escalators to get to the classrooms / canteen / library. - sure, especially for hall one guys like me
A large part of photos in your album are taken at your university campus. - true
You prefer ThinkPad. - fuck that i have missed this year ownership promotion...
You don't really sleep. - not for now
You are neither a doctor nor a lawyer. - nothing more i can make from this point. YES
You are an IT fan. - nope. not at all. I'm a programmer. I won't say I'm an IT guy also I should be. But the fucking term make me think of the people pretend smart, always try to show they are superior to you technically, dressing up and fooling around. I'm not in that rank and I'm just happy to learn technical knowledge and making progress in my job
You check email every three minutes. - yeh, and gmail has polling
You receive email from the professor at 2:00 am - i did
Every professor thinks that his course is the only one you are taking. - that's absolutely true. So you know HKUST is the place to make your tuition fee worthwhile as you got 4-5 semesters' workload in a single semester
You are late for a 10:00 am class. - usually i'd skip them. not for the music class though
Your boss is amazed at your math. - my math sucks and my boss is from MIT. So the bigger chance is I'm amazed at his math
You have to think about how long it takes on the road only to go out for shopping or tea. - neutral. sometime did and sometime didn't. I'm hall one guy
You run into the University President in the canteen. - used to be like that? Not for Paul Chu
You go back to the campus to swim and play football even after graduation. - no
You admit that you are a nerd or geek. - technically a false, as I'm a nerd and geek
You know that "Nano" is not a type of rice. - come one, it's common sense, really people don't know what nano is?
You date in the library. - date lee lo mo
You fall asleep in the extremely comfortable sofa in the library with unbeaten sea view. - Not for me. but my fyp advisor, prof. Andrew Horner did. and I gave him the nickname 向海男
Whatever you do, your always do it with your heart. - I have to, I'll die without a heart which is working properly
and lastly,
You know you're from HKUST when you're from the most awesome university on the planet! - ok, alright, yea, it's enough pal

Salyu : To U
或許有時實在想得太多。我依照自己的想像去期望這一張名為Terminal的唱片,現在聽起來,似乎不是我想像中的那個樣子。
不是想像中的樣子,不是代表唱片的質素不好。Salyu的發音技巧頗花俏,但稍稍意外的是在高音位有一點薄弱,而且似乎並不夠「實淨」這當然可能是因為太多技巧性的發音,也可能是因為對於駕馭節拍較快的歌曲不太純熟。
不過,有一首歌可能是盡在預期之內,這一首獨唱版本的TO U,在朋友從日本把這張Terminal空運回港交到我手前已經聽過了。
當時跟一位Mr.Children的網友說,我覺得Salyu在這個獨唱版的演繹太刻意、表達感情來得太多技巧、不夠自然。事實我很喜歡這一首歌的旋律,小林武史是很學院派的那種音樂人,旋律在流行樂來說可能不夠簡潔(雖然我沒有聽My Little Lover,但這一張Terminal十三首歌都是由他創刀作曲),TO U卻扔然捉到用神,高低起伏之中,夠動聽夠真致。
聽說本來沒有第一個版本的那個Bank Band合唱版。我很記得MC網友初次會面,有人問過是否大家都不太喜歡這一首TO U,當年的結論是大家不習慣有一把女主音伴著櫻井。不過,我其實是初次聽到這一首TO U已經非常喜歡,或許,因為我聽起來是櫻井伴著女主音 — Salyu。
可惜的是Salyu版並不自然。由她的唱腔到都只有鋼琴加不知是大還是中提琴的伴奏(懶得去看小頁),情感都是那麼刻意。
但,原來聽過的歌,也會有意料之外的收獲。
過去一個星期,下班的時候我聽得都是這一首歌。也許一種過於刻意的情感就是需要一首過於刻意的歌去引發。這一首to u使上環的舊街變得如此孤獨,下班的人們臉上的疲累、目光的呆滯,似乎正在被Salyu的歌聲撫慰著,Salyu替他們唱出了他們孤獨的情緒。城巿人的落寞可能都是刻意營造,我們都是那樣,自以為感性。但當你聽著這一首to u,看到高高在上的中銀大廈、IFC第二期、還有最近的新紀元廣場的大鐘,冷冷地看著你,冷冷地看著這一條準備著回家的永樂街,你知道音樂除了是一種娛樂,也使你的情感變得敏銳,感受到你平時感受不到的事物的情感。
對,我在預期以外的喜歡這個版本。

Hairspray 戀愛大爆髮 (2007)
戀愛及爆髮都不見得是在電影中的重心,噴髮劑就更不是了。
不過既然原版電影叫Hairspray,由原版電影改編成的音樂劇叫Hairspray,那麼改編自音樂劇的最新版當然仍然叫做Hairspray。
電視一開始女主角便唱出全片的第一首,已經令我心動要買下OST。
一個虛構的故事,setting是1963年的巴爾的摩。1963年是美國近代民權運動的一個重要年份,著名的民權運動領袖馬丁路德金發表了任何人都知有其事的"I Have a Dream"演說。如果說我們只是對種族主義的壓迫完全無知的一群白痴,我對你說我只能誠惶誠恐地承認:「你說的對」。
我很喜歡看有關搖滾樂歷史的書,當談到搖滾樂的起源,如果你要避開膚色不談,那簡直是自欺欺人。我記得我曾經在一些朋友談起「黑人音樂」這一個字眼,朋友便說音樂就是音樂,為甚麼要說成是甚麼黑人白人。(我想沒有人會否認有分中樂、西樂,如果中樂是指源自中國的音樂,為甚麼我們不可以有黑人音樂—源自黑人的音樂?事實是,如果我們假裝不知道眼前的人是黑人,那是偽善的自欺欺人,我們相信我們要做的是,承認我們膚色有別,但不以為然,人人平等)
怎麼能夠不說成是黑人白人的音樂?藍調是黑人音樂,是黑奴在幹苦工時邊做邊唱而開始的一種音樂傳統,這種音樂源自靈魂,你不會在做苦工的時間考慮音樂會否為你帶來金錢,你只會把心中的悶氣化成音樂,唱出來,訴說你對你女人的愛,談著你的志氣,然後發放怒火。
搖滾樂是藍調的兒子。如果你希望說得成實一點,那麼搖滾樂應該是白人剽竊黑人音樂然後把他弄成白人專有玩意兒的一種音樂類認,那是完全不容否認的。The Who的Pete Townshend說,我們都欠著黑人。只要你聽著那些早期搖滾或節奏藍調以至熱.爵士的火氣熱情、無限活力,你就知道搖滾樂有鄉村音樂之形,但那些精神力量是源自節奏藍調的性感熱情。自由奔放的搖滾樂原真是來自黑人,早期搖滾樂手的成功都靠模仿黑人,包括地位有如神一般的米積加。
電影中,談論的主要是種族平等,也大概一談身材肥胖的人。很有趣,女主角身材又肥又矮,故事倒沒有安排她來一段「肥人自憐」,她的勇氣、自信、對身材的漠視貫徹始終,可能是片面,但那種一面倒的勇氣比那些故作可憐的軟弱自憐來得可愛一百倍。有很多人,認為別人歧視,卻自己先歧視自己,那是說一百句話一百句都是廢話的典型,既然你的標準與別人不同,而你認為自己是對的,為甚要為錯的人的標準感到受傷害?如此我實在看不出中間的分別。
當然,看到這種大是大非的公義勝利,是令人感到愉快、非常興奮的。不過,老套話也始終要說,也許當年讓黑人上電視是政治不正確,現在是不讓黑人上電視才是政治不正確,看似進步了,但人心談的都只是要政治正確而已,平等根本從未出現。就像我的音樂老師勞師宴說:「黑人本來就有最好的音樂天賦,古典樂界沒有黑人,不是因為黑人只會玩爵士、藍調,學習歐洲古典音樂的黑人學得都很好,比很多其他膚色的人都要好,但他們再好也不會成功,因為整個音樂界都不會讓一個膚色是黑色的人站到台上。為甚麼?因為沒有人會去看一個黑人指揮家去指揮,那個角色不是屬於黑人的。沒有原因,但黑人站在那裡,就是一個問題。」
請大家繼續作夢,直至夢想成真。
P.S. 原來現在由米雪菲花飾演的大奸角,原版是由Blondie的Debbie Harry演出,我只聽過她跟Iggy Pop的一首合唱,很不錯呢。
不過既然原版電影叫Hairspray,由原版電影改編成的音樂劇叫Hairspray,那麼改編自音樂劇的最新版當然仍然叫做Hairspray。

我很喜歡看有關搖滾樂歷史的書,當談到搖滾樂的起源,如果你要避開膚色不談,那簡直是自欺欺人。我記得我曾經在一些朋友談起「黑人音樂」這一個字眼,朋友便說音樂就是音樂,為甚麼要說成是甚麼黑人白人。(我想沒有人會否認有分中樂、西樂,如果中樂是指源自中國的音樂,為甚麼我們不可以有黑人音樂—源自黑人的音樂?事實是,如果我們假裝不知道眼前的人是黑人,那是偽善的自欺欺人,我們相信我們要做的是,承認我們膚色有別,但不以為然,人人平等)
怎麼能夠不說成是黑人白人的音樂?藍調是黑人音樂,是黑奴在幹苦工時邊做邊唱而開始的一種音樂傳統,這種音樂源自靈魂,你不會在做苦工的時間考慮音樂會否為你帶來金錢,你只會把心中的悶氣化成音樂,唱出來,訴說你對你女人的愛,談著你的志氣,然後發放怒火。
搖滾樂是藍調的兒子。如果你希望說得成實一點,那麼搖滾樂應該是白人剽竊黑人音樂然後把他弄成白人專有玩意兒的一種音樂類認,那是完全不容否認的。The Who的Pete Townshend說,我們都欠著黑人。只要你聽著那些早期搖滾或節奏藍調以至熱.爵士的火氣熱情、無限活力,你就知道搖滾樂有鄉村音樂之形,但那些精神力量是源自節奏藍調的性感熱情。自由奔放的搖滾樂原真是來自黑人,早期搖滾樂手的成功都靠模仿黑人,包括地位有如神一般的米積加。
電影中,談論的主要是種族平等,也大概一談身材肥胖的人。很有趣,女主角身材又肥又矮,故事倒沒有安排她來一段「肥人自憐」,她的勇氣、自信、對身材的漠視貫徹始終,可能是片面,但那種一面倒的勇氣比那些故作可憐的軟弱自憐來得可愛一百倍。有很多人,認為別人歧視,卻自己先歧視自己,那是說一百句話一百句都是廢話的典型,既然你的標準與別人不同,而你認為自己是對的,為甚要為錯的人的標準感到受傷害?如此我實在看不出中間的分別。
當然,看到這種大是大非的公義勝利,是令人感到愉快、非常興奮的。不過,老套話也始終要說,也許當年讓黑人上電視是政治不正確,現在是不讓黑人上電視才是政治不正確,看似進步了,但人心談的都只是要政治正確而已,平等根本從未出現。就像我的音樂老師勞師宴說:「黑人本來就有最好的音樂天賦,古典樂界沒有黑人,不是因為黑人只會玩爵士、藍調,學習歐洲古典音樂的黑人學得都很好,比很多其他膚色的人都要好,但他們再好也不會成功,因為整個音樂界都不會讓一個膚色是黑色的人站到台上。為甚麼?因為沒有人會去看一個黑人指揮家去指揮,那個角色不是屬於黑人的。沒有原因,但黑人站在那裡,就是一個問題。」
請大家繼續作夢,直至夢想成真。
P.S. 原來現在由米雪菲花飾演的大奸角,原版是由Blondie的Debbie Harry演出,我只聽過她跟Iggy Pop的一首合唱,很不錯呢。

恭喜和仔
先講講頭場。
華家堡一開波大打快波,大埔球員一上腳就四唔個人黎搶,壓到大埔波都冇乜機會踢,氣勢好強。佢地好多俾波走位,整體組織力好似好好咁,但係技術意識實在太有限,基本上完全拉唔開大埔中場同防線,和仔同黃鎮宇兩邊都做唔到野,中間果個假泰利又形同虛設,波就拎住黎踢,禁區都入唔到。本身大埔d反擊都打唔開,不過上半場中段就越來越似樣,點解呀?華家堡d人冇力了。
呢d就可以話由球員至教練都欠經驗既結果了,唔識留放。大家都知香港球員體能唔夠,日波頭場你成個上半場都打得咁快?而事實係,大埔打得咁慢,你打得咁快,你都拉唔開人地既防守,咁兩班波到下半場其實體能會有好明顯有分野了。二黎華家堡果班人其實好多係09既人,發育都未完全啦唔好話,個右中堅上半場尾段已經踢完全冇哂,好似踢左90分鐘咁,最終大埔入兩球都係做落去左路搞掂。
下半場大埔d反擊仲越來越有威脅。不過場波第一個轉捩點,就係大埔門將冇要到趙俊傑個跣後,冤枉角球俾人追返一粒。拿,上半場我一直都唔滿意大埔兩邊既表現,蘇來強除左同思榮做左個撞牆,平時都係上腳太多,成日lun住個波唔放。直至下半場華家堡冇哂氣,右路李威廉生返,我同阿洲都同意,抽起蘇來強或者呂志興,放個快到甩碌既李康廉黎抽水,應該可以鎖定勝局了。
但巴貝利似乎係好保守果種英式領隊,隊波個勢唔輸就唔會換人,d人唔傷亦唔會換。到俾人角球追一粒,佢先換個右閘郭詠燊入黎踢右中場守佢(不過,起碼輸返一粒之後換郭詠燊而唔係李康廉我覺得係0岩的)。呢一粒已經打起左華家堡個勢,不過可以留意,華家堡仍然係冇能力係禁區入面做到任何威脅的。
最後和仔可以點呢?就係靠人望!球證開始決定要做大埔,等和仔第一場教波踢聯賽唔駛落筆打三更。首先,祖爾係冇動作,以及陳旭智已經包左落黎既情況下,冇動作加未形成單刀,被球証程愛祖吹罰對方單刀情況下侵犯對手,無啦啦紅牌。足總網頁短短一句「88分鐘,和富大埔祖爾犯規被判罰離場。」唔,任何人都講唔到點解係紅牌,出腳粗野咩?單刀咩?乜都唔係,都唔知解釋果球波可以係一個紅牌。如果我係球證,呢個波頂多係吹罰,黃牌都未必有。
大埔有一段時間連趙俊傑都出左場治理,九人應戰,華家堡立即空群出擊。仍然做唔到有威脅既機會,最終程愛祖見到入返場既趙俊傑係禁區邊落腳鏟波,機不可失,即使係清脆踢到個波,偉大既球證都決定係時候俾個十二碼,以獎勵全場拼搏華家堡但無甚斬獲、空有神之子歐陽耀沖但全無威脅、卻又擁有德高望重教練李健和既華家堡。
一句啦,其實我覺得巴貝利換人果斷少少,程愛祖用屎眼吹場波都做唔到2粒波俾華家堡既,佢地都入唔到禁區。(有消息指,場內人有問華家堡領隊,陳sir既回應係,「我都覺得唔係紅牌,我都覺得唔係十二碼,不過球證咁吹冇辦法。」)
全場比較令人覺得高興既係,大埔班波冇退步,祖爾又真係好勁抽,而且班波都應該仲有得進步(今場特別要讚陳思榮,完場我都有讚陳旭智硬淨左,不過佢態度非常謙虛呀下,話對面個外援前鋒假泰利屎,咁又係呀,唔係特別硬淨,冇速度,可能射術好啦下,但以華家堡既組織力,應該都係收檔了。兩個外援中堅,假夏格維斯係比較好,殺波好辣又幾靈活,另一個唔掂啦,同香港d本地中堅差不多水準而已)。不過大埔對住呢班波都拎唔到3分,之後真係要加把勁了。
尾場唔多講,晨曦個基奧雲尼,技術射技速度都一流,一流射手,淨係佢一個已經解決左晨曦上季前鋒線唔得既問題,有左佢加埋本身果班係本地技術都數一數二既中場(靚昆、耀仔、朱兆基、劉強呢條華人中場線都唔會差得過有鬼佬果d,佢地本身又夾到好熟,仲要簽左隻好高級既巴西防中),同埋高尼路鎮住既後防,今季都係時候重返挑戰多過一個冠軍既行列了。(陳旭智話冇出場果個法比奧蘇沙都好勁,另外大馬古點名稱讚有拼勁既比沙,真係滿場飛,佢唔係特別做到d乜,但拎波就向空位推生,推同俾波時間都決定得好,淨係呢樣已經夠哂好用啦)
東方黎講,新埋班而且對手強,默契明顯唔夠啦。不過中間17號保羅似乎真係有級數,其他鬼都出得果陣再夾下,應該會好過今場了。
陳旭智尋日唔係地球人,係壽星人(嘿)。另,黑色衫係我(嘿)。

Yureruwa, Yureruwa, Yureruwa
當年留聲機的出現面世,曾經使唱手們出現恐慌性的反對,生怕錄音技術會令人們再沒有進場的意慾,他們鑽進每一個可以鑽進去的牛角尖,試圖把錄音技術封為魔鬼,令人們一起合力把它封進十八層地獄之中。
結果?歌手們失敗了,錄音技術勢不可當,可是唱手們欲成為了贏家。錄音技術使歌手們除了現場演出,還多了一個討飯吃的工作。而且錄音技術更正好成為了唱手們的宣傳工具,誘使了更多人在試聽過後,情不自禁地找機會現場地聽一聽那張動人的聲線去唱一首動人的歌曲。
小時候的我很抗拒現場演出的錄音唱片,覺得它們充滿瑕疵,不完整,不夠結實,而且失真。
現在的我當然很明白自己當年的幼稚。我想跟本不用我再去說甚麼,任何人都知道現出演出有的東西是錄音室唱片永遠取代不了的,不復詳談。
倒想一談搖滾樂的主音。無論樂隊的創作靈魂是誰,有多強的樂器手—也許是擁有一個可以一口氣連續作兩小時不停即興演奏而永不重覆的結他手,在現場演出時,大眾的焦點永遠都落在主音身上。
記得看漫畫Beck,在樂隊選樂手時,說出了一個條件,「主音的外型要亮麗」。這個亮麗的意思我不清楚,比較可能是指要漂亮好看?但也有可能是要能夠在台上閃亮。
Freddie Mercury那兩撇像毛蟲一樣的鬍子,兩隻假哨牙,有時胖起來仍然身穿低V緊身「現代」褲,露出一堆胸毛,活像吳孟達……
但他卻是搖滾樂史甚至是廣義流行樂中在台上最具風彩、最掀動人心的主音歌手。
即使他的一切都Over the top,行為誇張失實,外型老套可笑,但他的能力、魅力與全情入卻壓倒一切,而且把那些誇張失實及老套可笑成他最利害的武器。
在我眼中,或許各樣風格的成份不同,David Bowie一樣有這個能力,Iggy Pop有,張國榮有,桑田佳祐有,YUKI也有。而當一個歌手在台上可以做出一切行為仍然令觀眾不顧一切地投入,這就是絕對的星味,我們有時叫他做壓場感。
那些只會行出來「擺靚靚」或「自以為型」、又或是情深「電眼」的傢伙還是去食新鮮狗屎好了。
每次看到一邊搖著裙一邊扯出這一句「搖吧」,耳、腦、眼都同時被排出一陣快感(聽唱片就只有耳及腦了)。
"I'm a MUSIC FIGHTER!"
如果說以上說的那些舞台魅力及高聲嘶哮都只是掩眼法,不如又看一看這一個Hitotsu dake的 acoustic version。我自己覺得Takuya的acoustic結他真的不行,interlude的位置通常都欠流暢,但YUKI運用聲線表達感情的能力實在非常突出,可說是在她的慢歌中不尋常地異常精彩的演出。
沒有感情的零瑕疵只是個討好耳朵的掩耳法而已。

4 - 5 - 1
其實我自己係好鍾意4-3-3同4-5-1呢類陣式的,而呢個偏好係由多蒙特簽到真高拿開始,之前我就好鍾意玩4-2-2-2。
0岩0岩車路士收皮。饒家輝講左一個膠野,就係話油王上屆迫摩連奴用舒夫真高拍杜奧巴,迫佢用雙箭頭搞到摩連奴打唔到自己家波,整到杜奧巴表現唔好云云。
明明上季杜奧巴最生果陣,就係舒夫真高有落場果陣。今日場香港波,南華係踢4-5-1,傑志4-3-3。其實4-5-1同4-3-3既分別明顯就係兩隻翼既企位係前定後,但其實4-5-1好定4-3-3好甚至4-2-3-1呢d,要踢得好首先就一定要個中鋒有好極既個人能力,能夠保持到控球權果種,摩連奴就係因為自己有杜奧巴,先成日想咁樣踢,而南華就好明顯,有個係香港屈哂身型既迪天奴。
我自己就覺得,如果係你強隊,係拎住個波黎踢既,如果你個lone striker,係呢類柱躉中鋒,就比較適合踢4-3-3,前鋒另外兩個係呢d可以踢邊可以入中間果d,中場重心就防中位果一個,陣地時可以逗深d分兩邊,上波時打返長線d用中鋒掩護或者set俾兩邊去波,係比較理想。如果個lone striker係走位好速度高果d,就真係要有個好keyman,中場由佢開始上波,陣地時等佢係d最難做野既位做串連,兩邊既球員就最好係純翼唔入中間踢係邊線果種,幫手扯d空位。
講到好複雜?係!其實呢d4-5-1、4-3-3甚至4-2-3-1,係真係一d複雜既陣。如果你個陣係假既,最後都係9-0-1就當然另計,但當你係要主攻或者話係要鬥同人拎形勢去踢既,呢d企位密度唔平衡既陣其實係要夾人夾得好好。
今日傑志開波踢得好差,佢係踢4-3-3,但中鋒既阿古沙未修身(之前個身型真係好fit,但今日好肥),又懶,要靠兩邊做組織既,另外兩個前鋒都唔係邊線好有威脅果陣,哥倫大部分時間都入哂中間添,班波跟本拉唔到空位出黎。後尾轉3-5-2至3-4-3返而仲簡單,盧沛迪分邊盧均宜同張峰落兩邊,咁就好好多了。
南華又係一個唔係太協調既4-5-1。迪天奴做柱躉係好好的,問題係你d長波黎set俾邊個呢?南華既邊線球員前後出過4個,一係就純出波翼鋒,而會入中間果d又唔夠卡士。我返而覺得話中場冇keyman呢個可能唔係大問題,如果你死都要踢呢個4-5-1,迪天奴做得到控球同二傳,最重要係有一個放到準長炮既人(唔駛話俾得好毒果種),咁你都有李海強啦,佢明顯唔係keyman,其實要佢打返深d放長波,有一個真正識後上既攻擊型中場都差不多。(好多人會林,4-5-1,兩邊不停出波俾中間果個去頂,掂!問題係你跟本好難做到空位落底線嘛,如果4-4-2,兩個邊中場係有好多人幫佢地組織或者掩護落底,但4-5-1既話,人地好容易就可以騰空一個中堅黎包兩邊,除非你有個好強個人突破能力既翼)
如果你冇d個別能力配合到既球員,4-4-2基本上係最容易平衡既陣,翼同前鋒都比較容易有人呼應同掩護,冇乜邊個位置必要性地以寡敵眾,又冇乜邊個位置要成日替人覆蓋某d空位,簡單容易。
陣係死既,人係生既。如果你d生人唔配合到呢個陣既發揮,冇一個陣係會點強唔強的。話4-4-2容易踢,但你d人唔夾其實一樣唔見得可以好,但佢係容易發揮分工平均既陣係真的,所以先咁主流。
Q1. 今場車路既4-5-1有乜問題?
0岩0岩車路士收皮。饒家輝講左一個膠野,就係話油王上屆迫摩連奴用舒夫真高拍杜奧巴,迫佢用雙箭頭搞到摩連奴打唔到自己家波,整到杜奧巴表現唔好云云。

生日歌
大家好,今天是我的生日。
非常幸運,我今天生日,所以我可以點這一首生日歌給自己。
這首Birthday Song是Judy and Mary銷量達到頂點的一張大碟Power Source的第一首歌,銷量大約是210萬。事實說是的話多又不算太多,97年仍然算是日本樂壇銷量盛極的時間,仍然是那個很容易就把唱片賣到200萬的年代,在日本史上大碟的銷量排名亦只在65位,97年間的銷量亦只不過排第4,跟第3位的距離約有110萬。(同年有Mr.Children的Bolero,史上14,年間第2,售出約326萬)
不過,如果你認為97時是安室奈美惠及SPEED的年代,她們才是97年的代表人物,那可能你太著眼那些偶像所謂的「人氣」了,這兩個單位在97年發的大碟銷量都不足二百萬。
排數字是我的興趣,這類排名其實是很有趣味的。你可以說這些排名、銷量都與音樂、喜歡無關,幹嘛要去看去想。當然,絕對無關,但這些排名與數字卻是一些事實,而從中你可以看出很多有趣的東西,當時的情況、人們的口味、音樂的趨勢,一切一切,怎麼說這些都是流行樂,樂隊們不受銷量影響的話是騙人的。當然,是否排第一還是排第十不重要,但當你知道自己喜歡的東西排六十五,可能會懂得去想想原因及理由。
如果想了解他們更多,從銷量、排名去看其實是很不錯的一個視點,亦相當有趣味,始終說到了解的話,就不是一句「我喜歡就可以」。
我不喜歡自己不了解自己喜歡的東西,就是這樣。
我一直都認為Birthday Song跟Mr.Children的Dance Dance Dance很相似。從音樂的角度其實是真的有像,重電量,Bass搶耳,多部旋律,主旋律導向非常明顯等等……
但我相信有另一個原因。兩首歌,是兩支我最喜歡的樂隊之中,我最喜歡的大碟的第一首歌。兩首歌都意味著我在開始聽一張我很喜歡的樂隊制作出來我自己最喜歡的唱片,而兩首歌同樣也是不太快的中板充滿能量,當中亦帶有一種也不顯眼的冷靜,全曲沒有一瀉而下地爆發,這是我喜歡的起跑類型(爆發應該留待高潮位置)。
同場加映Music Fighter,留意兩曲編曲的節奏感,指的是攻擊或重點的起伏位置,即是指那些引人注目的Guitar/Bass/鼓的Fill又或者是叫喊,總之就是指那些在你把腦袋放鬆後,擊在腦中使你注意的地方,唔,實在是太精彩了。

Who are The Sentimental Animals?
The band was found by bassist Lam Kee and lead guitarist Short Shing(aka SS) at 7th April, 2007. The two band members, along with the band Manager Jeff Chau, were childhood friends and all of them have no talent in music at all. SS practiced acoustic guitar briefly 5 years where the bassist Lam has started learning bass guitar just a week before the band was formed.
As a long time music appreciator and rock music fan, Lam decided to do something finally as he always believes passion on music should be something larger than life and "do it yourself". In the mean time, he has been kind of financially free, the very first time in his life, after graduated from HKUST and working as a full time programmer. He brought his first instrument, a low level model of Washburn electric bass guitar and started self-learning bass(His electric organ belongs to his family, which he has been learning since 13, before dropped it when he was 17). His main interest in music including 60s-90s Rock, which his favorite musician include Judy and Mary, Mr.Children, The Who, David Bowie, Oasis, etc.
The guitarist SS, who is known as a super fan of Richie Jen, has started learning acoustic guitar since his day at HK City U as a student. His music style was heavily influenced by Richie Jen, Wakin Chau and Jacky Cheung.
With the lack of talent, 9 heaness and diverse interest in music of the band members, they cannot come to any concrete direction of the band yet. Some believes their intention of forming a band is to get some groupies, which is yet to be proved. The band's name was adopted from the movie Prince Charm(1999), stared by Andy Lau. In the movie, the character Portuguese Tart(acted by Cheung Ka-Fai) once mentioned himself as "a sentimental animal".
Currently, the band mascot was the cat pet by SS and the band practiced weekly irregularly.

HO4
與球星對話。
唔通黃鎮宇咩,當然係陳旭智。(不過早排的確係第二次見到黃鎮宇)
約返FYP組出黎食飯,當然有探聽大埔既軍情,話哂有條針係入面,不過暫時都係保守秘密了。
都好少人係約返係大埔食飯,冇既,上環返工住粉嶺,沙田返工住粉嶺,觀塘返工住元朗,大埔返工住大埔……大埔食都算方便大家的。
9月8日大埔作客華家堡,隊長智生日添,會正選嗎?

偏執狂 - 只有一個
每個人也會有一些特別執著的東西,而那未必是理性的。很多球迷都是偏執狂,我所說的不是那些看見曼聯很強便說自己是曼迷,而原因是「曼聯勁囉!」「多人鍾意丫嘛」那一種。有一種球迷,在某種情況下把自己的情緒、生命都跟球會連在一起,原因可能沒有人知道。如果用著名阿仙奴球迷兼英國暢銷作家Nick Hornby做例子(對,足球熱的作者,也對,我讀過這一本書,不然我幹鳥要提他),他迷上阿仙奴的日子時正值阿仙奴的最低潮,而且這個低潮一直持續,事實作為平均成績擠身英格蘭三大球會之一,自六十年代末至八十年代中期間阿仙奴只有間歇一兩年能打出一點成績,再加上其球會傳統的悶蛋足球(跟宿敵托定咸熱刺有著強烈的對照,為數不少英格蘭最有天份及足球智慧的球員高峰期都在熱刺渡過,馬田彼德斯、華度、荷度、加斯居尼等等一個又一個英格蘭球員中最能跟秀麗、靈氣、才華拉上關係的球星,這些名字跟近年如碧咸、林柏特、謝拉特這批在場內外都全靠效率、拚勁而成為一線球星的英格蘭球員截然不同。我對足球的歷史不自認識很深,想得起的話,阿仙奴能跟熱刺那一堆球星一比的好像只有林柏拉迪,而且不是英格蘭球員……),但出奇地這一切絕對沒能阻止Hornby把自己跟阿仙奴連成一線,而事實很多球迷亦如是。
你可以因為千百個理由去執著一件事,但一當執著了,就不能放下(或很難放下),這就是偏執。偏執不一定沒有理性。為甚麼要一隊球隊贏盡一切你去喜歡才是對的?(先容許我把理性解釋為判斷是非的思維)為甚麼要一隊球隊能踢出悅目的足球才值得你去喜歡?喜歡一隊弱旅,偏執至死,不見得是不理性。不理性是指,你因為喜歡曼聯而認為史高斯作用可比列馬倫(如蔡文堅),你因為喜歡高洛治而認為他的作用可追得上真高拿(如高洛治本人),你因為喜歡車路士而認為摩連奴謙遜有禮(應該沒有人會這麼想);還有,不理性是指你認為多蒙特現在還是一支好球隊,杜爾的足球哲學能使多蒙特重新打起具有組織性的足球(我不會)。
足球如是,音樂如是。
我從來不會大張旗鼓跟任何人說Judy and Mary是一隊日本史上的最佳樂隊。甚麼是最佳可以從很多不同的角度去得出結論,但我不認為從任何角度去看可以使Judy and Mary成為日本的Beatles。但我對Judy and Mary的偏執的確要比任何樂隊都要高一點。像The Who這些我認識沒多久卻瘋狂地喜歡上的樂隊,我似乎沒有偏執,儘管我經常誇讚他們(其實跟本不用我說,誇讚他們的人已經有夠多,可信性亦更高),亦收集了大量他們的各式消費品(真的是Greatest Live Band,我擁有他們的現場演出DVD比CD要多)。
我相信我是已經太老了,已經不再會為新認識的事物而去偏執。當年每一次聽到別人對夏達威、奧蘭多魔術、多蒙特、列瑾、尼維特、辛尼迪、奧華馬斯等等作出不太「恰當」的評論時,我都會怒氣填胸,我的理性有時會告訴我其實別人比我有道理,但大多時候不是(畢竟沒有太多人會對這些事執著而用頭腦去想,只是說一點混話就算,或是不懂裝懂)。在這些人物、球隊逐漸在他們的圈子中淡出,我亦再沒有為諸如傑特、沙維奧拿、美斯、拿姆以至沙軒有著當年的感覺。
沒有在我那一段應該開始成熟卻仍然童真的歲月中出現,似乎很難獲得我的偏執。
但我這一晚,能感受到Judy and Mary比其他樂隊、就算是Mr.Children、Oasis、Suede的位置都要更高一點。當然你可以像找錯處一般找出千百種JAM與其他樂隊的不同而當成原因(女主音、童音、樂趣、快樂……的確,只有JAM的那些是充滿樂趣的音樂,MC太感性,Oasis太酷,Suede太病態),但我看到的,是時間。
就在我仍然可以成為偏執狂的時間,JAM已經解散了。即是說,JAM存在在我生命中的時間,全都是我可以成為偏執狂的時間,我不會因為他們走下坡而感覺到失望,而因此不再偏執而開始感到疏離;我甚至不會因為他們的音樂突然好像跟以往再不相像而意興闌珊,我可以一直擁抱他們的全部,就像當年一樣。每當我回看JAM的DVD,我因為音樂而興奮、讚嘆,但我知道那一種興奮、讚嘆除了來自音樂,還來自我跟JAM的聯繫,那一種偏執到「只要看到他們就夠」的瘋狂。
今天的我再沒有了,但那可以是來自昨日的我。
事源,看到報紙頗見詳細地談述里華馮力士過身的悲劇。當年里華馮力士意外過身時,好友尊尼特普就是看著他「出事」的其中一人(題外話,尊尼特普很喜歡Iggy Pop,聽說在Iggy Pop的gig是頗有機會看到他的身影,而他跟Red Hot Chili Peppers也頗有淵源,里馬馮力士過身時尊尼特普就正是跟Chilli Peppers的著名Bass手Flea一起,而且他還著Oasis在唱片中彈過結他,不信的話,拿出你已經封塵了的Be Here Now,看看插頁裡的Credits)。我想尊尼特普現在也可算是頂級男星,人氣勁以外,連口味獨特的女孩一樣喜歡他(事件應該是口味獨特的女孩先喜歡他,才到追星女)。但,到底尊尼特普能否用成就,去燃燒自己成為比里華馮力士更被人沉迷及戀棧的傳奇?
就像其他早逝的巨星似乎更光亮一般,我們都追憶那些永遠活在偏執年代的記憶,活得太過,對你偏執過的人都敵不過時間的催化,只會把偏執轉移到他自己身上去,你再不重要了。
不是WARP TOUR FINAL裡最精彩的一段(但已經有夠精彩,精彩得就像這是一隊擁有像JAM這般技術與活力兼具的樂隊的最後演出一般),但「只有一個」永遠都是JAM的最佳告別曲,雖然最後一首演出的不可能不是Overdrive。(同場加映的是古典,一首不會讓我喜歡JAM卻令很多人喜歡JAM的作品)

港男 vs 港姐
間唔中都見到有女人還擊d男人批評港男似鴨show,話做乜女人著比堅尼出黎選就得,男人著泳褲出黎選都唔得,高呼男女要平等云云。
都痴線既,而家冇人話男人條泳褲小布d唔公平喎。
試下下一屆港姐,要俾人用水淋濕身,行近d全男班評判到俾佢地近距離「觀察」,每擺一個動作全場麻甩佬即時興奮起哄、不停大叫大嚷,臉泛紅暈一副淫相。
第二日俾d「男女平等」女人告到仆街都似。
「做乜港男得港姐唔得呀?男女平等呀!港姐都要淨係著泳褲!」
痴筋。

任何人都可以係大鼠
網上訂票時,我們選的那一排只剩下兩個空位,誰知完場時我們一排仍然只有六個人,是因為地點太偏嗎?
電影的主題很明確,「人人都可以當大廚」,不算是甚麼高深的道理,本地電影奇才周星馳早就教了我們一句「人人都可以係食神」。難能可貴之處時,全片沒有劉德華歌詞式的說教,不是那種「我看透了,你也應該看透」的低手做法,老鼠仔一心當大廚,不是秉持「人人都可以當大廚」的信念,只是因為他喜歡吃,也喜歡煮。不過,老鼠仔的案例可能太極端了,大家看完相信都只會一笑置之,「睇戲姐,唔通真係人人都得咩」,記得食評家最後一翻話嗎?「人人都可以當大廚」是指甚麼呢?(找來譚炳文配這個角色太好了,這一席話不是一般明星可以配得出味道啊!)
還有一點很喜歡,這是荷里活製作,不知製作人員有沒有看過伙頭智多星味吉陽一。但食評家吃下食物那一刻,沒有出現那種歇斯底里,明明確確地交待出感動他的原因,節奏亦恰可。
很多人都喜歡吃,其中有一部分人亦很喜歡找好吃的東西去吃,而我自己甚至是不太喜歡吃的那一種人。吃是必須,好吃就更好,這是我的想法,而當然我從來沒有否定吃一頓好吃的飯,是令人有一種異常滿足的快慰。不過,當說到食物有否試過令你感動,又或是有沒有人在食物上追求感動,十個人也會有九個半都會罵「痴線」。
不見得有太多人真的很喜歡吃,說到底最重要的還是滿足食慾,沒有人真的要去了解食物、味道與好吃以及自己的。
老鼠仔那些以味道中食出旋律的比喻很有趣,有冇有人可以從旋律中聽出味道?旋律是音樂的形狀、外在。如果一個女人比喻為一首歌,她的外表就是她的旋律,大部分人用視覺來辨識一個人的就是用外表,大部分人用聽覺來辨識一首歌用的就是旋律,那麼味覺當然是用味道來辨識一種食物。如此推敲下去,你就會明白為什麼我們常常說,聽歌,除了旋律外還有很多可以值得欣賞的地方,起碼你會知道吃下去的除了味道還有感他東西……如果你不喜歡男人單從外表去判斷一個女人的價值,也可以思考一下自己對事物的看法,其實是否一直如出一徹。
不喜歡的是老鼠眾幫手做菜那一幕,我倒沒有其他人所說的噁心感覺,反而是覺得有點over the top了。其他分鏡(個別分鏡節奏引起的喜劇效果當然好笑),交待故事都做得很流暢。
五星級大鼠,就給老鼠仔一顆五星吧。(不過有一粒要多謝七筒,嘿)

最近睇廣告黎講
如果你仲未cut有線,最近睇到果個戀戀新球季既廣告,果個男仔就是成日俾我叫佢假細哨既歐陽耀沖,下季踢華家堡。剪左頭冇咁似細哨,亦應該再冇人叫佢和仔了。
話時話,我忍約聽到,now個廣告,葛民輝把聲果個,我聽到佢有一件樂器,似乎係非常有名既Led Zeppelin果首HeartBreaker果段Riff黎的!我唔敢肯定,因為我今日係做緊自己野時聽到電視傳來的。
肯定係偷用的,因為bgm唔係heartbreaker來的,而亦唔見得向來以唔多肯俾人用自己d歌賣廣告既led zeppelin會對now格外開恩。
呢段riff唔係講笑,Nick Hornby話,如果要佢向外星人哼一段heavy metal/blues既riff,佢就會揀呢一首。因為,佢認為實在太有代表性。佢覺得就算寫出黎好似好愚蠢,但佢仍然會咁做,覺得好帥……「DANG DANG DANG DA DA DANG,DA DA DA DA DANG DA DA DA DANG」。
講開佢呢d DA同DANG,如果係我既長期讀者,應該都記得我N年前試過用「登」「凳」去模擬呢個結他之神Jimi Hendrix既Voodoo Child個intro「登---凳-凳-登-凳-凳-登,登--凳-凳-登-登凳」……唔知我係愚蠢還是帥了……或者,愚蠢既係我,帥既係hendrix……
呢段heartbreaker既riff既tab我搵過返黎,亦嚐試過彈佢出黎,但有d難……太難捉所以冇理
其他著名既結他/Bass riff,例如cream既sunshine of your love,又或許係deep purple既smoke on the water以至under pressure既intro,大家應該都唔駛搵都彈到出來了……

天路歷程
第一次聽到阿富汗南韓人質事件,第一個反應是「慘喇!」然後是好奇為甚麼這個時間還會有旅行團到阿富汗,而且還要這麼多女士。
及後知道是一個南韓教會的志願工作人仕,及時鬆一口氣。不要誤會,雖然我不信教會的那一套,不代表我沒有理性,大家都只是凡人,人心肉做,大家都有同理心,會感人之所感。雖然我也不知道俱俱二十三人想在伊斯蘭教早已根深蒂固的國家裡幹出個甚麼鳥來,但我想我是凡人,他們也是凡人,他們也應該有足夠的智力知道,此行成功機會微,而且危險重重……我想沒有人以為到一個潛伏大量伊斯蘭教基本教條主義者的國家挑機,很容易可以全身而退,我深信他們到阿富汗是要傳道,要傳福音的,他們亦有足夠的勇氣。
由此,我深信他們是真正的教徒,是深明教義的一行人。他們會隨遇而安,因為他們明白一切上帝自有安排,上帝安排他們遇險必有原因,可能是要測試他們的信仰心,可能要用危難的經歷去洗練他們……總而言之,只要他們是真正的教徒,他們必定有堅定的信心,在危難中不會哭哭啼啼,不會怨聲載道,不會認為運氣不足,守著信仰心每一刻都祈求主寬恕他們的原罪,深信這是天路歷程的開端。
有一些開口埋口都叫人下地獄的教徒,會對自己因為信仰而死後可以得到天堂而沾沾自喜。當悲傷的事發生在自己身上時卻又會傷心地責問上帝為何要如此狠心,我的天!輸打贏要嗎?雖然聖經常常說天父慈悲,但它都記載天父一個又一個(揮淚?)狠心的安排。上帝自有安排,可以為測試一個先知的信仰心而安排他身邊的人都要死,又會因為那些埃及人沒有信仰心而一夜之間把所有他們的嬰兒都送到地獄,凡此種種,如果只因為一件小事就要去質問去懷疑,我想這個教徒的想法還沒有很多非教徒來得透徹……當然,非教徒都得要下地獄接受永劫回歸,教徒側可以到天堂食花生,這與對上帝的認識無關。
信仰心,就是不用証明與回報地去相信。
南韓人質們有勇氣到阿富汗去傳道,我深信他們有足夠的信仰心,平靜地面對這一個安排好的試練,而且不論結果,他們或早或遲,最終必然得到天堂享受永生。
教友們也請為他們好好祈禱,而像我這樣的非教友,喜歡的可以去買花生,不喜歡的可以像我一樣,說服自己他們的心靈現在因為信仰而並未因受苦難而崩塌。
One of Us
by Joan Osborne
Oh, one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
for the Lord's a-gonna come in his heavenly airplane.
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
Back up to heaven all alone
No, nobody calling on the phone
No, just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
No, just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

教友們也請為他們好好祈禱,而像我這樣的非教友,喜歡的可以去買花生,不喜歡的可以像我一樣,說服自己他們的心靈現在因為信仰而並未因受苦難而崩塌。
One of Us
by Joan Osborne
Oh, one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
for the Lord's a-gonna come in his heavenly airplane.
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
Back up to heaven all alone
No, nobody calling on the phone
No, just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
No, just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

足球:比士利 Peter Beardsley
談起足球,我自少就是球迷,是真的年紀很小的時候已經是球迷。喜歡看足球,不是受人感染,不是因為身邊的朋友都在談論,不是因為男人有三樣東西不會自認不懂 — 足球、功夫、性。沒有人教我男孩子都愛看足球。
只是因為我爸開著電視,我看著螢光幕,就自此喜歡看足球,沒有別的原因,沒有分析沒有想法,總之就是「看,然後喜歡」。
我第一個足球員偶像是比士利。
當時的「英國足總杯」(當然,現在我們都知應該叫英格蘭,但你怪得誰?今天那些本港足球名宿在世界杯期間還是不停地「英國隊」,而且,這個錯比起當年無線及很多本地傳媒把皇家馬德里譯做真馬德里來得少),是在亞視播的,當時在亞視講波的大概有「阿叔」林尚義(還記得阿叔在九零世界杯在亞視穿德蟲風袖捧德國),「尹佬」尹志強,加上客席的「阿巢」陳炳安(其他人不記得了)。
還記得那個時候亞視的「英國足總杯」配樂。我的第一個「英國足總杯」決賽,是87、88年那一屆,決賽是利物浦對溫布頓,根本甚麼都記不起來(六歲半!),只知利物浦是熱門,溫布頓腳贏了,溫布頓的隊長是門將。(當時談到英國足總杯就一定要加一句「爆冷既溫床」,睇波學中文也)
現在當然知那個門將是比辛。
但以我當年不到十歲之齡,我可以背出利物浦十二、三個球員的名字。現在當然記不起,但當魯殊從祖雲達斯回歸利物浦時,魯殊、比士利、班尼斯就被亞視叫作利物浦三條煙還是記得的,前鋒線上還有另一個胡鬚佬艾德列治,中場有侯頓(之後轉會盧頓,當然盧頓還在英甲!頂級聯賽啊!)、阿倫漢臣、麥馬漢,後防最記得尼高,不知道史當頓當時是否仍在陣,當然,還有小丑門將高巴拿。
希斯保路慘劇我有看直播,重賽也有看直播,那場利物浦穿作客球衣,銀灰色的那一件。
喜歡比士利當然與外型(!)無關,聽說他的牙都是假牙,也常被稱為醜男。然而他是典型的一流輔鋒,良好的技術加上不停跑動,禁區內仍然異常冷靜,適當地作出射門及傳球的選擇,跟他合拍的都是典型的入球機器:魯殊、艾德列治以至國家隊的連尼加。
當時英格蘭的聯賽還是正選穿一至十一號的那種,比士利正選時是七號,班尼斯十號,魯殊九號,艾德列治八號(侯頓也是八號,要看魯殊是否正選,配搭上魯殊跟艾德列治爭射手位置,比士利是必然正選),尼高是四號。
實在不用懷疑,我第二個足球偶像是白必圖,國家隊常穿七號。喜歡白必圖,是跟比士尼的七號有絕對關係的。怎麼不可以呢?94世界杯我亦只不過是12歲,中一,你想我會懂得分析球賽及球員的作用及技巧嗎?
總之,我的第一個足球偶像是利物浦七號比士利。我跟利物浦的緣份、利物浦球迷的身份、港人常有的「英國波」情意結也因為那個廢柴桑拿士繼任杜格利殊後,冷落及把比士利出售到愛華頓而終結(不如費高,利物浦球迷沒有怪責比士利,因為大家都知道那是粉人桑拿士的錯)。
是終結,也是開始,九四世界杯我支持的是巴西,卻沒有敵視英格蘭。因為國際球壇的世界級傳統「勁」旅,曾「一」次奪取世界杯的英格蘭,九四年打不進決賽週。更可況,那時的我在足球上還有一份赤子之心,沒有仇恨。

難相處黎講
我一直都非常強調我其實是一個很難相處的人。
可能我大部份時候都不拘小節,甚少動氣,但絕對不代表我是那種耐性非常過人的人,我跟姐夫不同,這一方面來說姐夫可以說是人中之龍了。姐夫把自己對食物的忍受能力都放到人的那一面,然後食物稍差都嘈喧巴閉(最仆街之處是,「神又係佢鬼又係佢」,他是食量最少的人,經常吃不完一個正常份量的晚餐,跟他吃飯我通常都要吃接近個半餐……),但對著很多難以忍受的人他都可以從容以待。
我是絕對不能的,所以我其實是經常被封為「仆街」的。
簡單而言,我最受不了的人是權威人士……那些自己必對,又會常用指揮口吻對人說話,又或要人主動侍候的那些,我都不太懂跟他們相處。
對,包括了我老豆。
其實不懂跟某類人相似是很多人都會有,而問題是,我還是一個喜惡相當分明的人。我喜歡的東西可以經常提在口邊,只要有機會就隨時隨地對人如數家珍,投入情度可以是很高的。舉一個例,中學時足球校隊與我完全無關,但我是每一場都有去看的,因為我喜歡看足球,也喜歡看「屬於自己」的球隊比賽。又好像短成的那隻懶貓,基本上我就像當了是自己的貓一般(不用自己照顧的寵物……),等等等等……
不喜歡的東西只要聽到嗅到都會感到不是味兒,即使自己口水之多對很多話題都有非數口水,我也會不發一言。只要開口,我想我會立即出言不遜。任何人都知道我的說話其實可以很尖酸也可以很難聽的,我的其中一項特技是激怒別人,雖然我盡量也把其封印著。
不過我相信我的喜惡通常都是浮面的,如果你跟我一樣敏感,一定嗅得出來。
「林記?hehehehe……」
「林記d咁既人!Saga Kick!!!」
Woohoo!

yes ar yes ar yes ar! t mac 6 law!
Live Aid first glance
Queen, David Bowie, The Who, Joan Baez...
Freddie Mercury is the king! "hey hey hey hey hey! Hammer to fall!"
I think i like ziggy or aladdin more than the thin white duke. the songs are great and the performance is fun but i'd rather seeing ziggy screaming for five years or gimme your hand. and maybe "heroes" should be a studio track. this live aid version always regard as the best "heroes" live and i think the emotion and sound wall which make the song a masterpiece was missing. I'm sorry.
For the Who, what the dvd included was pissing me. where is the first minutes of my generation? where's pinball wizard? i don't suppose watching the who started with love reign oer me. jack nicholson's introduction was cool, "Greatness was often overused in rock'n'roll. But here's a true legendary band, pete townshend, roger..." alright, the missing bit was, kenny jones instead of keith moon. i don't even think kenney jones is any better than zak starkey. he is too robotic.
But the camera man really pissd me. At the not the best but not bad performance of won't get fooled again, the camera kept forcus on the other 3 members and, even the add-in keyboard(don't know if he is "rabbit"), instead of john entwistle! fuck me! he was standing, he didn't jump, he didn't even shake, but it didn't mean he was not rocking! with hearing the fucking great bassline and seeing the thunder fingers dancing like hell in wide shot, there's no close shot to the ox or his bass until the second half of the second half!!! miss of the event for sure!
so long.
but honestly, without keith moon the performance was not the best. but the ending was one of the greatest. that's the who, super technique with explosive action, the trademark jumping and mic wielding with the thundering heavy beat. i take the words of jack nicholson, truly legendary.

LIVE AID DVD!!!
係,好明顯我尋日去買左啦下。
頂你$275呢個完全版同$89呢個唔完全版,我竟然係揀左$275版本。
但我想買Queen既Greatest Hits,我有三架啦下,不過,我想要既歌係散落係一同二入面,兩隻買哂就變左買日版碟既價,要慎重考慮一下。
尋晚我真係第一次咁早係銅鑼灣搭小巴返,我十二點三到去到,排左三部車……第四部我第一個上,已經差不多一點……返到去和記果陣傾盤大雨,大佬,和合百隔離仲要落大雨,唔好喇都係(其實只係大雨,如果和記係一個因素我根本唔會係果到落啦,不過咁喎,我阿媽識人住得好近,意思係山上果種,好似話「好多野」睇的)。
最後都係去到祥華落行返去,頂佢我dup左一陣佢又突然好細雨……最後,前後比我想像中用多左差不多成個鐘……唉。
是日感情既動物聚會又取消了,挑。

變形金剛(含內容)
大家還記得一個小時候的遊戲嗎?叫做「柯柏文」。就算不記得(或不知道),我想不用多解釋,只要打出來大家就知怎麼玩。
「屙.拍.聞」。
電影版由那一段火星Trailer開始,已經是萬眾期待,不過,導演是在荷里活也可算是惡名昭彰的Michael Bay。
說到Michael Bay口啤有多差,同樣地我只要用打一句說話大家就可以明白。
「珍.珠.港」。
簡直是擲地有聲。
不過我對變形金剛的看法是不會受Michael Bay影響,我沒有一次可以完整地看完全片,另一方面不暪你,我其實很喜歡Armaggedon絕世天劫、The Rock石破天驚、甚至成本較低的Bad Boys重案夢幻組。
我對Michael Bay絕對沒有偏見。
先旨聲明這不是一篇影評,因為這套變形金剛基本上無甚可評。整套電影有的,就是你事前知道會有的。一流視覺效果、出色的CG、充滿娛樂性的劇情……多一點都沒有。荷里活電影通常都充滿糖衣,但糖衣下少不免都要加一個主題或所謂的底層意義,效果有多深刻都看劇及導演的功力。即使是很純商業的電影,也有可能啓發你作出一點意考,又或許是一點感動。但變形金剛可以說是丁點兒也沒有。如果你會為柯柏文的願意為保護其他種族自我犧牲而動容,就實在多愁善感得有點嚇人,那接近是完全沒經過描寫的。
好,如果你認為說得太嚴重,又從導演技巧本身去談。其實以本片的娛樂性,中段為了弄笑話而節奏突然放緩得根全片不合,就讓我們先當作看不見。那些大混戰也真的有夠混亂,當你看到Megatron麥加登對Optimus Prime柯柏文的最後大戰一觸即發時,打倒坦克也還算,突然出現一場Starscream星星叫對F-22的空戰,當你還不知星星叫去到那裡時,鏡頭一轉已經看到麥加登要搶Allspark,原來柯柏文已經戰敗倒地!媽的!
好,動作場面混亂一點也還可以理解,畢竟Michael Bay不想再重蹈珍珠港覆轍,片壞還算了,超支才最致命,這套變形金剛要小心控制成本,CG用得不可太盡,角色太多長時間的連貫動作實在沒有成本效益。但那種角色設計了就要用得均勻,不可費錢,但好像星星叫本是麥加登的副手卻又安插不了戲份,造成所有副角都硬要上場卻又樣子都看不清,又把要角的戲份搶去使要角也變得描寫不足!可憐你還未認清誰是爵士,它就被麥加登撕成兩半。(可憐,我小時候最喜歡爵士)
那好,到底那一個人類、機械人的性格而感覺到印象深刻呢?
博派全是愛開玩笑的好人,你真的感覺到Jazz爵士有著率性的搖滾性格嗎?Ratche力捷除了黃狗射尿還有些甚麼?好一點的應該Bumblebee大黃蜂,出場機會較多你不得不承認可以看到他的一點佻皮,而Ironhide對人類不友善的態度也總算是沒有描寫中的描寫。
狂博?都是一堆邪惡機械人。如果你之前不知誰是星星叫,你根本不知為何麥加登一復活就責怪它。
如果不說CG、惹笑劇情、刺激動作的話,唔,或許可以讚一讚Michael Bay沒有玩吊癮當有趣,很早就安排Blackout現身大戰一場,算是唯一我想讚一讚的地方吧。
對了,為甚麼我小時候最喜歡爵士呢?因為我覺得它很靚仔!(我小時候都要包拗頸,例如喜歡松山不喜歡翅偉、喜歡冰河不喜歡星矢、喜歡比達不喜歡悟空……等等等等)
(不要問原因!天曉得自己幾歲大的時候想些甚麼?)

乜都冇做過的星期日
尋晚係冇沖涼既情況下,開住電視睇下久違既棒球,紐約洋基對唔知乜鬼,睇到係梳化訓著左,訓之前2-3,洋基對手個投手好似咩緊鑊……
棒球呢種運動好奇怪,你話佢好少郁動,但上疊、接殺以至擊球,運動能力底d既人都做唔好,即係話打捧球幫唔到你提升體能,但你要提升體能先可以打得好棒球。技術亦係一樣,投球、揮捧同接殺都係好講技巧,但你一場波又係做唔到幾多下動作,又係要靠練波去練,唔可以話踢波咁,靠實戰練都練到唔少野。
好多運動都係要求運動員可以係好短時間內下決定。棒球好有趣,好多人都會以為扔波果個夠快就得,打果果下下最大力就得,但事實根本唔係。唔同既情況下投手係會投唔同既球,就更唔駛講有時要計埋擊球手既慣性。
但,大家其實係有好多時間去做判斷的。
都係完。

南華 vs 利物浦補飛
我身後有位哥仔,懷斯一入波:「Waow(留意拼法)!抵啦!呢一百蚊!淨係呢球都夠啦!」(不停重覆呢個point)我忍唔住同姐夫講:「不如俾一百蚊淨係睇呢一秒丫!」
之前李海強入自由球,「Waow!仲靚過懷斯啦!」(不停重覆呢個point)我再同姐夫講「李海強踢港甲架喎,你俾二十蚊就有得睇,係咪仲抵?」
當然,真相係殘酷既,李海強平時自由球射就成日射,但其實冇乜點入……呢廿蚊都係……
聽日原本話去,但傳說冇飛,取消了。
今次係我第一次坐南看台,如果我冇記錯,我次次入大球場都係座西看台,即係比較少上電視果邊,底層坐得最多,高層(港聯只有陸冠邦一個華人果年既賀歲杯)同中層(早排既烏茲別克)各一次,北看台就係上次利物浦訪港坐過一次。
沖涼先。

英超挑機盃
lunch時間收到姐夫電話,竟然叫我去睇,咁我當然去睇啦,有人去我又有乜所謂,去睇下南華都好!
又睇得似模似樣喎!迪天奴雖然冇係港甲時咁屈,但仍然做到hold波回波既工作,佢轉身動作同推波步頭既速度真係唔似一米八九同差不多二百磅!實在太強了!返而來頭好似好勁既前巴西甲/厄瓜多爾甲既巴路士暫時一般,佢睇資料身型同迪天奴差不多,但就唔似迪天奴咁倒三角咁fit,不過可能未fit的,見步頭都唔爽。
後防個沙域臣真係有184?我覺得大豪高佢好多!大豪資料都好似係寫185之嘛!但沙域臣包波很好,幾下都包得好準,輸十二碼感覺有少少不幸,動作礙眼但其實都係擔落去冇出手的,對比上季南華初段入果批中堅似乎更好(82年昨佢!仲後生過祖爾!)佢母會係巴乙既聖十字(如果有印象,南華上季中有一個外型成個李華度咁既防中基頓,對大埔時恰人後備龍入左個世界波,原來都係聖十字借返黎),上季降班,之前佢係外借左去葡超的!見有d人覺得上季尾既基斯好過佢,我覺得單睇呢一場佢好過基斯喎,佢包波好快好準,兩三下佢唔到已經死左……基斯除左身型好過佢,感覺上……
華人方面,李志豪打左針咁喎!其實今日南華都點唔到名邊個特別差,我估都係S祖利亞啦,不過呢件上季踢愉園風評一流,我估係港甲係夠用的。
唔,好期待開咧添!(港甲)

城巿驚喜:球星篇
今朝返工,行到去我平時必入果一個入口排陣,一時間嚇左一跳,我竟然見到黎祥愛將黃鎮宇。喂,做乜我以前唔見佢架呢?睇佢個袋咁多野都似係去練波,一朝早同佢迫火車呀下。乜佢原來咁鬼高,資料係179但我拍埋去(佢同我迫係埋一齊,佢仲企唔穩搭左我膊頭一下,但佢又幾鬼有禮貌講唔好意思),我覺得佢好似爭陳旭智好少,資料黎講陳旭智高佢兩吋架喎都應該。
咁當然,我冇理佢啦,話哂佢而家簽左華家堡,都算係大埔既敵對球會(由高層執位至聯賽目標都算係對手了)。
係火車撞到黃鎮宇黎講都事小,我去到中環轉車,部車一開門仲要行個伊雲羅出黎!(巴西佬都認得?)我深信果個如果唔係伊雲羅既話,佢就係伊雲羅既孖生兄弟,或者同伊雲羅99%相似既人!
講開又講,我今日其實一樣係平常時間到月台,但除左見到平時見唔到既黃鎮宇,仲見到一個科大Busi既女仔,我當然認得!佢同我前roomate都做過一陣莊mate兼佢明顯係hall one人(唔係hall one人都肯定係hall one蛇)。最奇異既係,我朝早係粉嶺月台同埋尖東時係車箱見到佢以外,放工我係上環上車,佢係落車的!

本週末星踪
原本星期五係林住同Jackel去睇Planet Terror的,但係放工前短成話正人君子燊約我地燒野食去慶祝佢生日,最終係「你地重要D!」呢個教晦下,我都決定將Planet Terror搬去星期六。係我開緊會期間黎講,姐夫打黎問我係咪燒,我話係,
咁等短成車時我咪順手組織一下星期六既節目安排。咁好喇,短成車到,居然話仆街燊話一直都話係去佢到燒,等等等等。呢d就真係唔知短成同正人君子燊點溝通了,但如果真係入東涌燒,好明顯一定唔成事啦,起碼我一定唔會去,在場阿成父母都即場話有冇搞錯,講多兩講,其實去東涌佢屋企燒,不如去石澳、去西貢去赤柱woohoo啦……
最後三個人加一隻貓咁燒,吹下水背叛下人,幾爽,同埋短成屋企夜晚出面真係幾涼爽。woohoo!
禮拜六就同Jackel阿洲一齊進軍書展,迫來迫去咁啦,得個迫字,走果陣仲要打蛇餅,令到我地遲左去到戲院!頂佢!我miss左段假trailer!
戲就俾想像中少d好笑既地方,我最鍾意既就係科學家講左d唔知乜野廢話,同一班人沖唔沖過去唔知有乜關係,根住好拙劣地探頭然後無啦啦俾人一槍爆頭。唔知係咪B movie好多呢種同決定無關既解釋,但呢一段真係無聊到極,硬膠指數真係捉夠拎去挑戰達爾文獎。
冇乜口水……唔講。
連哈利波特都唔識串,點會鍾意哈利波特?

連哈利波特都唔識串,點會鍾意哈利波特?
希望結局真係結局,仲嫌賺唔夠?
哈利波特簡直係異常討厭。
當然,鍾意睇當然可以,我亦唔會話鍾意睇果個係傻,事實我冇乜睇過,我唔會有乜特別評價。
但首先,我對呢種Over Hyped既現象本來就異常討厭。我地唔好講佢而家呢種劇力萬鈞、死人林樓到底係本身作為兒童讀物已經想係咁寫,一話到底係一賣成名以後為左配合其他媒介既商售而做既決定,由得佢。
疲勞轟炸故然係討厭。聞西密碼都係非常之hyped的,亦令好多「文人雅仕」突然好似好認識Dan Brown,呢d我覺得倒係其次。哈利波襪時間長得黎,全球傳媒不約而同地一齊幫手煲,書商幫手煲,作者又一齊煲,由故事以至宣傳咁多年黎都貫徹始終,每次穿少少你知,講d唔講d,仲要係連作者行出黎話你知有兩個要角會死,當中果一份夾雜銅臭無聊既低品味,無所不用其極地刻意挑逗讀者,真係好鬼嘔心。
到底係故事好到出奇令人要得知劇情而後快,定係商人有心營造一個似乎全球有識之事都希望知道故事結局既氣氛,令人覺得身為有識之仕不得不參與?
我從來冇聽過任何一個人同我覺睇完哈利波特有乜感受,故事點樣起伏轉折又或世界觀係如何地吸引人,引人既只係營銷手法,每一集都係下一集既預告,所以有關報導都係預告,而高潮唔係故事而係開銷既一日,到底結局係乜根本唔重要,重要既係「書迷」們可以知道結局了卻一件心事。
邊個死唔死,點解邊個死邊個唔死,邊個死唔死有乜藝術效果,完全冇人有興趣,故事亦唔需要有任何意義,呢d根本就係師奶劇既寫照,只係包裝唔同被吸引既人唔同。
單單係呢d咁既手法已經令我感到討厭,當然如果故事或文筆或世界觀真係可以令人驚為天人,我想我未必會討厭佢,但我唔認為哈利波特係。

Eat is very important
食好重要。
我係帶飯之鬼,據個file既資料顯示,呢盒飯係6月20號的。果兩條魚柳簡直令到成個飯盒睇落升左成個level,色香味都唔同哂。不過當然,其實叮完之後唔算好好食,而且我冇沙律醬……(但公司好似有沙律醬的……)
上個禮拜有得食炸脾!太感動了!事過境遷人面全非,今時今日既炸脾已經唔再係科大既炸脾,咬落去就係冇左果份親切感呀下(講咁多做乜姐!其實係呢隻冇咁好味之嘛),正如歌仔都有得唱,"a bad cover version of love is not the real thing/"(Bad cover version by Pulp)。
"the original was so good; the one you no longer own."(其實我都可以返去食,只係有d無聊)
大家記住,唔好將一樣野當係另一樣野既代替品,如果唔係,歌仔都有得唱"he's going to let you down my friend."(Bad cover version by Pulp,係,我係好煩的)。兩樣野就係兩樣野,學會去欣賞下新既自己既優點,例如,呢隻炸脾可以配薯條的!呢一點就係科大炸脾/科大脾/科脾冇既野!
晚餐!woohoo!

How Music Changes Through The Year
不得不承認,我非常非常少收聽電台節目。如果我沒有記錯,我的第一部Walkman是在小一的時候買的,可以聽錄音帶又可以聽收音機的那種。那個時候,每逢下午六時左右會收聽大陸電台的廣播劇,記得聽過的節目有一千零一夜及西遊記,另外還有軟硬天師的節目,年代久遠,甚麼都記不起來,只記得羅姑娘、何鑑硬及賴軟正。
之後再聽電台節目,應該是中六、七,睡前由嘩嘩嘩打到黎、蔡康年的恐怖熱線聽到無人駕駛。聽嘩嘩嘩打到黎的得著應該是熊天平的傻哥歌、許冠傑的心裡日記、以及蘇民峰說的「羅馬鼻」,能記著的就只有這麼多。
Radio Ga Ga的主題大概就是說MTV的出現如何改變了音樂,人們如何由純粹從音樂出發的角度去欣賞音樂到開始越來越用眼晴去欣賞音樂。(有一點諷刺的是,Queen的Bohemian Rhapsody經常被誤認為史上第一個MV,原因是它是第一個觀賞性強烈的MV,而Radio Ga Ga的MV的映像效果同樣是異常用心)
但你不用跟Roger Taylor一樣喜歡電台節目,才會被這一首歌感動。單單是從音樂自身的力量,這一首Radio Ga Ga應該可以感動到很多人。
當聽到Freddie Mercury唱著「Radio what's new? Radio, someone still loves you!」,已經足夠讓你感受到一股能夠讓人落淚的情感。難道你沒有一刻感受到獨單、寂寞、被遺棄的感覺?聽到有人對一個被遺棄的人唱這一句,實在難掩一種感動,實在太好了,這個世界還有一點點溫暖的。

Queen
從來沒有否認,我認為Bohemian Rhapsody是經典中的經典。而我亦從來沒有否認We are the champions及We will rock you是一流的搖滾樂。
但我從來沒有說過我是Queen的樂迷,真的不是,雖然我擁有他們的其中一張精選(可恨,沒有Bo Rhap)。
Queen在我心目中是一隊華麗至極的樂隊。主音Freddie Mercury豪無疑問是擁有一把搖滾樂史上最美的聲線,編曲亦常見制式浩大,氣勢磅礡,古巨基說Bo Rhap是一首Prog Rock作品,而Queen亦同時是所謂的Art Rock樂隊,風格如何可見一斑。
我會欣賞這種音樂,但未見會非常投入地喜愛。要我認真地除了喜愛還加入更多一點點,那就不單單是音樂是否美麗是否好聽,通常要讓我聽到熱情,一種可以真切地感受到的熱情。
我起初認為我在Queen之中聽不到。
Freddie Mercury原來除了有一把可以唱三個半八度的漂亮聲線,他同樣是怪物級的搖滾舞台主音,那種台上的絕對忘我風彩及星味,由演唱到舞動的絕對壓場感……我也不喜歡他的髮型、衣著及那鬍子,我亦不是同性戀,但他的神采絕對超級了任何外表上的判斷。演繹上的點石成金,可以把「好音樂」或「經典音樂」變成「真正喜歡的音樂」。對,就是因為這兩條片,我決定要買多一片Queen的唱片(必需要有Bo Rhap及Radio Ga Ga),以及Live Aid的DVD。不是因為The Who,不是因為David Bowie,這次是因為Queen。

60. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
A unknown woman has called to find my mum. And my mum was not home.
Live Earth
到底講環保點解要用呢種Live-aid like既show去做呢?Arctic Monkey既鼓手話太假喇,我地呢d人淨係為左Stage Lighting已經用左夠十間屋用一晚既電。Muse主音亦話太假了。
Bob Geldof可能覺得俾人抄名啦下,但點都要聽下Roger Daltrey講乜:提高環保意識?阿水都知天氣變啦!係要搞環保既最唔需要既就係一場Rock Show。一係快d燒哂d油佢,d政治人咪會搵d乾淨d既能源囉。
我真係覺得,你而家咁樣,就好似落街搵個妙齡少女搾人個胸一下,然後同佢講我係為左提高大家既防強姦意識。
果陣明日之後咪又好多人睇完話自己好多反思(真架!真係好多的!),超!
作為一個對樂壇唔係咁熟悉既人,個Lineup對我來說真係有太唔吸引了。抽一d出黎講下,不過其實都可能係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……不過我有野吹下水咁解。
英國:
Genesis - 六十年代末七十年代初,古巨基所講既Progressive Rock元祖之一,大家可能更加熟一d Phil Collins既Solo?Peter Garbriel怪異既演出在隊中被排擠後,鼓手Phil Collins做埋主音,一陣俾大家睇下有頭髮版既Phil Collins係Live Aid時唱大家耳熟能詳既Again All Odds,我成日覺得佢d動靜好鬼似桑田佳祐的。(我記得睇過佢一個Another day in paradise既live act係到R袋的)
Madonna - 你信唔信佢真係全心投入環保?其實佢真係一個很好的表演者,台上風采真係很利害,不過講到音樂才華等等呢d就另計了,最好既碟同歌永遠不減用錢打造出黎既味道。
Razorlight、Duran Duran、Red Hot Chili Peppers、Bloc Party、Terra Naomi、Keane、Metallica、James Blunt、Beastie Boys、Pussycat Dolls、Foo Fighters都係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……
美國:
Bon Jovi - 我買佢都係一兩首新碟歌加Living on a Prayer……
The Police - 唔知點解我始終都唔係好鍾意The Police,偏見!絕對係偏見!
Jonhn Mayer、Alicia Keys、Dave Matthews Band、Kelly Clarkson、The Smashing Pumpkins、Roger Waters、Trisha Yearwood都係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……
日本:
大塚愛 - 我同佢真係唔係咁熟,早一排好似話幾紅下,但我真係冇乜機會聽佢既歌,佢走既路線應該係思覺老師口中既傻X女路線?應該都係仆街燊鍾意果類。
UA - 網友提起Bonnie Pink係日本少有唔駛化妝都可以賣碟既女歌手,我即刻要講UA!UA仲勁!化唔化妝都冇分別!
Bonnie Pink - 數完英美,我都只係有兩隻Bon Jovi既碟!但日本我已經有一隻Bonnie Pink啦!如果話JAM既雀斑係我最鍾意既浪客劍心Openning,咁Bonnie Pink既It's gonna rain應該係最鍾意既Ending了。佢果陣既路線真係幾獨特下,好唔日本,唔係話佢果隻碟監制係瑞典人(The Cardigans果個)先講,咁佢真係瑞典人監制,整左d好北歐Pop味既出黎,模糊甜美輕節奏的慢板流行樂。
YMO - 幾勁!仲YMO添!點解Ap Band Fes冇佢地既?唔係話阪本龍一有份提出的嗎?櫻井和壽冇戈爾咁有牙力嗎?講開戈爾,早幾日睇新聞唔係話佢個仔藏有大麻俾人拉左的嗎?仲有,聽聞近排佢對於會唔會再去選總統既態度軟化左……我其實都唔太信佢做呢場Show係冇私心的……
RIZE、絢香、Cocco、Linkin Park、Rip Slyme都係只聞其名其事或只聽過一兩首的……
中國:
黃耀明 - 點講都要提一提的。
容十年 - 其實佢可以扮MJ唱Earth Song同Heal the world去配合主題丫……
Sarah Brightman - 點解會走左黎上海玩的?非常有趣,我多手Click入去佢個Wiki見到話佢可以唱到3個Octave,Freddie Mercury唱到3個半!題外話,聽聞話Mika被用黎同Freddie Mercury比較,但Mika唱法好似多好多假音喎。一陣又睇下被稱為Queen最佳演出,係Live Aid既片。Freddie Mercury此人的確係天生搖滾主音……冇得傾的……
其他人唔點講,任何人應該都比我熟……
澳洲、南非、巴西、德國
Jack Johnson、Enrique Iglesias、Lenny Kravitz、Macy Gray
總論係,從環保角度一話睇Show角度,都冇乜興趣……但令我有興趣買返Live Aid黎睇!
有頭髮架!
呢段就真係冇得傾!
呢段最正!搞支Bass搞左好耐!仲要訊號中斷,The Who在Live Aid有很多「狀況」的(很台灣的講法啊!)。
Bob Geldof可能覺得俾人抄名啦下,但點都要聽下Roger Daltrey講乜:提高環保意識?阿水都知天氣變啦!係要搞環保既最唔需要既就係一場Rock Show。一係快d燒哂d油佢,d政治人咪會搵d乾淨d既能源囉。

You Don't Have to Fxxk People Over to Survive
記得曾經在新聞組,有一班人在談論流行樂,有人指出現今樂壇現以往比較在於,現在沒有一首歌曲是"Timeless"的,而所謂"Timeless"的歌,他以John Lennon的Imagine為例。
這就讓我想起了很有趣的一點。Imagine的主題是大同世界,是談談你去想像一個大同世界,充滿了希冀,由此你已經可以知道這首歌一定是Timeless的,對此曲的共鳴一定是世代相傳……因為大同世界永遠只會在想像之中。
今天跟短成談起內地的營商環境,大家都知道在內地不單止商業活動,就連學術活動,都講求「人面」,要講「人際關係」,不「使人家高興」的話你是生存不下去的。短成說,問題是當你「討好」那些人士時,你的「討好」又會成為內部人士的把柄,內部人士又會從中拿「著數」,你要動那些內部人士嗎?他手中有你的把柄。
這就是資本主義,人人以利益為首要目的的後果,說共產主義其實都只剩下一個名目,不走資本主義又富強不起來,但法治精神又未(不可以)建立起來,出現的就是如此這般,不貪、不幹黑事、不害人的就只會吃苦。
我從來都不相信人心。我不是說所有人都沒有道德或貪婪至極,問題是法律面對的是所有人,而大部分人都是沒有道德或貪婪至極(如果你自認不是,你可以想想自己有沒有說過剛出來工作的人的忠直行為是「on9」或不懂「辦公室生存之道」,如果有,那麼你已經有足夠的潛力受到引誘,沒有人會想「on9」,亦大部分人都喜歡顯示自己比別人懂得多)。只有黑紙白字的法律是(比較)可信,我們要的不是由人去保障我們,而是由制度本身去保障我們。短成說法律都只是遊戲,香港自稱法治,那些「討好」的遊戲還不是存在,只是換了形式。對的,問題是起碼法治給予我們一條最基本的底線,亦使情況不會一直走下坡。另一方面,短成說的也就是另一個人心不可信的例證:即使有法律,人們還是會走法律鑽法律罅,去找灰色地帶。
葉劉、李少光等人的「你信我啦,局長唔會呃你既」,跟本就是從邏輯道理不通下的無理說辭,法律遊戲在我這個外行人看來,不是講「信用」、「人格」,而是「規條」。(當然,我亦相信「法律面前、窮人含撚」這個曠古絕今的道理)
亦由此可見,我因為搖滾樂的叛逆精神而折服,卻從來不Punk不龐克 — 雖然它是把叛逆精神推再極至的一種文化。不是說不我聽龐克,事實我最容易投入的音樂中很多都有著龐克音樂的外在要旨(高速、混雜、簡單、三和弦,如早期Judy and Mary、Iggy Pop & The Stooges、Lou Reed、地下天鵝絨……)。問題是我從來沒有想像我可以當個龐克客。這裡說的龐克客不是那些穿皮衣剪個崩頭那種虛有其表的自以為龐克客,而是信仰龐克思想的那一種。
我不信任無政府主義。龐克的一大敵人就是資本主義,抗爭及無政府主義是要抗放個體,使人會從資本主義中脫出,不再為金錢及利益所異化及勞役,不再被階級主義矮化,得到自由及自我。而我的看法是,當人們脫出規條以後,最大可能發生的就是人們再一次用利益、暴力去提升自己的權力去得到利益。在我看來,可見將來人心也還是一樣。大唱甚麼Anarchy in UK也還是一樣,Anarchy就更不會in HK,No Future倒也還是真的。
你相信人們可以擺脫一切利益及階級權力去建立一個大同世界嗎?Timeless除了音樂本身,也包括了信念。今天不再是六、七十年代,就算你有一個喜歡把政治觀點寫進歌裡的一流音樂人,他能脫出今時今日的社會運作觀念嗎?就算有,也沒有市場,大家都向金錢及階級看。就像我大力批評那隊只會翻唱情歌「西仔」是,有人會說「你唔抵得人咋?人地而家都不知幾紅呀!」即使你從本質去看事物,對人都會從階級或利益角度去猜度你出言的原因。即使今天有另一隊Beatles,也不會再一次成為可以衝擊社會文化的Beatles,看到我們有的是努力去當巨星的Coldplay嗎?當然還有只會掙炒票的「西仔」。
想像一個大同世界是永遠不會停止的,因為它只會活在想像之中。

I can't see for miles and miles and miles...
The Who黎講,話說尋日七筒帶我去海港城間HK Record,竟然唔覺意見到有Tommy電影同埋Isle of wight DVD!
我真係估唔到會見到!完全估唔到!太好了!不過仲係未見到The Kids Are Alright既DVD,據Roger Daltrey講,以前果d搖滾樂紀錄片都只係要黎令到Robert Plant睇落好大碌,但The Kids Are Alright頭半部拍到The Who四條友都好似傻仔咁。(咁你地係咪係囉,唔好怪人,嘿!)
今日睇過下隻Tommy,不過因為太忙,只係求其咁睇下。聽碟同睇電影個感覺真係好唔同。例如我想像中既1921時,Tommy應該仲細個一d,又例如Cousin Kevin果陣Tommy又應該冇咁大隻。Acid Queen不是應該幹了Tommy的嗎?Sally Simpson想像中冇咁細個……等等等等。
最勁係,我今日係火車睇有線娛樂新聞,譚校長著住件The Who Tee!幾靚下添仲要!識著!識著!

回歸杯 + 瑞士尖刀
最麻煩係要撲飛,如果唔係我都可能去睇。
如果早d講卓佩沙會黎,我會有更大動力去睇的,仲要拎件多蒙特去俾佢簽名。
卓佩沙係多蒙特近廿年最佳前鋒啦絕對,當打時係歐洲最佳前鋒之一。我仲成日覺得佢早過蘇達史科沙呢d成名少少,其實都差不多,成班都係94年已經成名。(我成日覺得史科沙冇咁早,蘇達呢d快翼又閃一閃就冇左)
踢左唔夠半場……唔。
呢場係我第一場睇而覺得盧均宜踢得好既比賽!佢係流浪我有睇既佢都冇乜特别的!
完。

第一位衝出太空既太空人係……
加加林!
其實我係想講嘉琳。
今日係報紙見到佢個專欄,講起陳冠希有一首歌有女聲唱粵劇腔,我第一反應,當然就係:「北京一夜」!當然,你可以話北京一夜果個其實係京劇腔……
當我睇落去,果把女聲其實就係佢,而佢亦直接講出呢個做法唔係新野,提出呢一首陳昇+彭佳慧既「北京一夜」就係佢自己既參考。
我喜歡佢。做音樂既野參考、抄考從來唔少,邊個係你既靈感來源,邊個係你偷師既地方,你認左佢又有幾難?講乜野自己首歌同Bo-Rhap都係Prog Rock所以聽落相似云云?
講起陳冠希,似乎而家一邊食肉一邊認真做音樂,好事黎架,我雖然唔會聽,但收到既消息一樣寄在案中,「留下眼留下耳陪著自己不給你」既陳冠希成為往事,係任何人都希望見到的……只因當年太不堪……
講起北京一夜,就要講我愛台妹。講我愛台妹,就要講金曲獎,上年金曲獎MC Hotdog及張震獄及侯佩岑一齊表演既我愛台妹之精彩仍然意猶未盡,原來咁快已經又一年。今年仲要係由對流行樂壞媽媽叉叉既熱狗拎最佳唱片,不可謂不令人意外。
真的是受招安嗎?依我睇倒不用介懷。邊個唔需要駛用?唔一定要對著幹才是梁山好漢的。拎佢著數但眼見有乜問題仍然抽水,何樂不為?

Blogbuster
不能否認是越blog越少了。
亦不能否認同返工有關。但返工只係間接既原因,佢係形成真正原因既原因而已。因為返工,所以少左個人時間,當我可以用打野果陣,當你發現身邊傳黎無聊電視劇既聲,有人又係你身邊基本上已經進入左你既個人空間而不得不分神既時候,返工之後淨返既時間都已經再唔係你自己既。
我思故我在,而家係電腦面前我已經不在了。
我在那裡呢?在房!不過組織完既野冇辦法記低,唔係話行出廳打返出黎就得咁簡單。
「又係你呀聞西?」
俾人推出佢門口,佢寧願訓係地下死都唔出……真係俾佢吹啤的。
迫阿強做主音,仆街佢真係少少節奏都冇,要由小學最基本既訓練做起……「而家d學校教乜x野架?d學生連Led Zeppelin、AC/DC、Motorhead係乜水都唔識!」我扮下Jack Black姐。
早排先去過香港唱片見到呢隻High Fidelity而冇買,當知今次想買時去到唔見佢……之後去Page one亦唔見小說中文版,搵到作者(Nick Hornby)既另一本書,但又唔見31首歌……我正奇怪時,返屋企發現31首歌我是在三聯買的……

Impromptu Lyrics Parody (1) - Why does it always rain on me by Travis
Why does it always rain on me?
Original - Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
(No, because you always forget to bring your umbrella)
"Is it because I've bought too much Agnes B?"
"Is it because I fucked up all the crush on me?"
"Is it because all my friends are stupid greeks?"
If you know the song and have some funny ideas, free feel to drop me a comment~

既然有讀者要求
咪post下囉,我份人好易話為。
實在唔似Iggy Pop。Kate Pierson既演出簡直一流,聽到Life is crazy果下轉假音,最後爆發到最高音既Candy……不過唔見得同Iggy Pop好有火花(尤其對比一下Iggy Pop + Debbie Harry),可能就係呢首歌本身既局限。非常出色既流行搖滾,但欠乏Iggy Pop最懾人既熱情,即使佢低吟時聽起黎簡單就好似David Bowie一樣,但Iggy Pop永遠都唔係白瘦公爵,你睇佢赤裸上身彈結他個款……同「優雅」二字實在永遠都拉唔埋……

我的音樂口味(一) - 誰老了?
不容否認,你聽的音樂在你而言是有很重要的意義,那很容易就成為塑造形象的一件重大工具,又是從年齡族群中尋找認同的重要一環。
我沒有否認我已經老了,起碼我就是其他人口中品味已經停濟不前,追不上潮流,開始被邊緣化的那些老樂迷……雖然年齡不相襯。
但事實我聽很多對我來說是新的音樂。很多人很容易就會說出:「你喜歡聽The Who嘛!」老哥,The Who出道的時間,我甚麼都不是,二十年後我才跚跚來遲落地哇哇大叫。但這種不是我對他們的音樂失去感覺的理由。
我不知道為甚麼那些是四十年前的音樂,今天的我就不可以為此而感動,為此而感同身受。
一切也只是那一份藏在感覺裡的感動,與年齡無關。
或許有人會認為,那是一份懷古、一份把經典納入自己的名單以推高自己品味的做法。這個我絕對不會承認。據說,在這個年頭你要在人前裝酷成功的話,你應該要去聽Sigur Ros、Franz Ferdinand以至James Blunt、Mika等等。但最好不要是Coldplay或Green Days,因為太多人喜歡,亦比較中間路線,情形就像九十年代中聽Oasis,不會使你形象變得俗套,卻不夠酷;也不要是去聽Travis,那就像在九十年代初去聽R.E.M.,他們的音樂太保守了。
好了,就當聽那些來自遠古的搖滾樂會使你變酷……對了,不要聽那些來自神話年代的,千萬不要跟人說你聽Chunky Berry、Buddy Holly等,拜託,尤其是對那些二十來歲還會覺得「電燈膽」感到精彩萬分的朋友,我不想你作出「社交自殺」的行為。我膽敢告訴你,沒有看我Blog的朋友絕對不會知道我是如此投入在The Who、Judy And Mary或Iggy Pop的……甚至Mr.Children也不會!(除了沒有看我Blog的Mr.Children Fans@HK網友)
上兩個星期我都在聽Led Zeppelin,某情度上你可以認為Led Zeppelin是比The Who更超級的頂級大團,如果今年是1973年,你站出來說我聽Led Zeppelin,一定比你對人說你喜歡The Who更酷。如果你可以唱得很像Robert Plant、又或拿起電結他能裝Jimmy Page裝了一個六、七乘,比起唱得像Roger Daltrey或彈得像Pete Townshend,你酷多了很多。
但我不會對你說我是Led Zeppelin的樂迷。我對Stairway to heaven嘆服之至,也很喜歡Heartbreaker的結他Riff,喜歡既「沉悶」又以魔戒故事為歌詞籃本的The Battle of Evermore,The Immigrant Song的Intro甚至還取代了Baba O'Riley的Intro成為了我現在的電話鈴聲……
The Beatles夠偉大了嗎?The Rolling Stones又如何?Bob Dylan又好……就算是Deep Purple、馬文蓋、大波士Bruce Springsteen……我也不會對你說我是他們的樂迷。即使我喜歡如此之多的Led Zeppelin作品,也不會說自己迷上了齊柏林飛船。
但的的確確,對The Who、David Bowie、Iggy Pop等等的音樂,我是有一份特殊的鍾情。那又不單單是我很喜歡他們不少作品那麼簡單,那是有一種從音樂開始到音樂之上的感覺。而同時,我不會否認我對Oasis、blur、Suede、Judy and Mary甚至The Bluetones的鍾情。即使你對這一漂不老不新的樂團/音樂單位嗤之以鼻。
或許不同的樂隊不同的音樂是我在人生不同階段的思想及情感的憑證,剛好這些年頭我喜歡的是那些六、七十年代的搖滾樂。
喜歡The Who是耍不了酷的,我把我那些The Who Tee穿在身上,沒有多少人知道那是一件Band Tee。
P.S. 在寫一些關於Led Zeppelin的東西,快將推出了。

Your Song
短成突然好鍾意your song。
講緊大姑媽果首,唔係love psychedeilico。
加入了無keyboard彈既keyboard手,短成係city時既roomate pk偉(當然唔係nw偉)。
講返都真係好搞笑,佢地第一次見面時短成係房已經開緊檯……第一晚短成已經係房入面劏……真係第一日見佢就知呢個roomate既生活到底有幾糜爛。
亦可見pk偉係幾咁隨和既一個人……咁都冇調房!
好搞笑,因為技巧比較差,我有時會彈到太近個picky up(woohoo),搞到出幾大聲既噪音。
有一下連埋阿輝四個人夾,隻貓就係到四圍巡邏patrol下,佢行近個amp時,我就彈到出噪音,短貓成隻彈起左!
我同短成都想詐唔知繼續彈,但彈多兩粒音我同佢都笑到死左……
短貓真係好廢,好鬼多好笑野的……容後再談。
