What's wrong with a little destruction?

真不敢相信我竟然這麼做了。

想想自己年紀也老大不小了，竟然還做這麼少女，這麼fangirl的行為...

（我看到這個頁面，竟然會有種害羞的感覺........）

有時候我一些瘋瘋顛顛的舉動，真讓我懷疑自己是不是心智年齡根本還停留在14歲。

可是我又很怪，常常在有機會親眼看到欣賞的明星時，反而變得很"閉俗"，

不但表情僵硬，還完全不曉得該說些什麼。

（我已經不曉得多少次看到小民時不知道該說什麼了...）

說起來是有點外冷內熱（沸騰）的感覺吧。

（好像不止有點，是非常...）



話說回來，雖然Taiwan的類別裡面只有小貓兩隻，至少不是只有我，還有另一個人XD

也許我該去跟那位朋友認識一下...?? （跌倒）









.............附帶提一下，Jenny就是我啦。

（隨手留了無名的連結，沒想到會放在上面....天啊天啊天啊。）

雖然我知道這裡快被我的FF開花文給淹沒了(我真的不是故意的!!)

可是今天中午看到下面這篇blog，我真的差點在寧靜的辦公室裡大笑出來XDb

一樣是Alex寫的，這回的主題在談Glasgow的鄉民...呃，是Glasgow的人的特色。

一樣，如果有耐性看到結尾的話...真的很好笑。





Issue. Five Quid. Franz Ferdinand Limited Edition. 23 | 04 | 05







I nipped into Glasgow city centre on Saturday to go shopping. I bumped into an

old friend on Sauchiehall Street. He’s the subject of one of the new songs, so

we stood chatting for a while about the lyrics and the new band he’s getting

together. Usually I try not to draw attention to myself when I’m out. I’m not

a natural show-off. Only when I get on stage. He knew a guy that was selling

the Big Issue. “Here! You’re that guy fae that band!” Once I’d confirmed this,

he helpfully pointed it out to everyone that was walking past. I ended up chatting

with a few people about the new album and signed a few things, including a few

of the Big Issue guy’s magazines. He then stood in front of me and sold them

for five quid a piece. I was happy to see that our great city’s merchant fathers’

entrepreneurial skills have passed down to the present generation. I posed for a

couple of shots on camera phones. Then, as I was walking off, I heard “Franz

Ferdinand’s pencil! Three Quid!”



I like talking to people. I know that some so-called celebrities can be rude

when members of the public try to talk to them. I can honestly say that 99%

of people that come up to say hi are pretty cool. I think it’s particularly

true in a place like Glasgow, where people tend to be curious, aren’t afraid

to talk to you, but – most importantly – realise that you’re no different

from anyone else.



Glaswegians tend to notice anything out of the ordinary and aren’t afraid to

comment on it. I was aware of this when I used to have a quiff and sideburns

a few years ago. I received plenty of observational comments like “Check that

guy’s Sidies” or “That guy pure thinks he’s Elvis”. Rich, our producer,

noticed it when he wore a bright red corduroy jacket to walk down Sauchiehall

Street on a Saturday night. Rich is from New York. In NYC you can dress up as

a six foot eyeball and no-one will notice you. A bright red corduroy jacket is

pretty tame. Not on Sauchiehall Street. There were plenty of observational

comments. “Check that guy’s Jacket!” “Here pal, are you a magician?”



I liked that.



Are you a magician?



No.



I’m wearing a red Jacket

Belle and Sebastian 2006最新專輯<<The Life Pursuit>>



很久沒有一張專輯是讓我聽了馬上愛不釋手，甚至還上癮般忍不住反覆聆聽的。

（聽到這種專輯時總是令人很興奮）

而我在對Belle and Sebastian這個團只是久聞其名不聞其聲的情況下，接觸到這張專輯，

聽了只能用"驚為天人"四個字來形容。XD

真的是怎麼可以有這麼好聽的音樂!!

雖然是走民謠風格的團，他們的編曲卻是非常豐富有層次，用的樂器相當多元化，

鋼琴、弦樂、喇叭...都派上用場，當然，還有吉他和貝斯帶動著旋律，(他們的貝斯超好聽的)

而鼓打著簡單輕鬆的節奏，搭配主唱超有磁性的中低音，還有優美的女和聲，

加起來就是一首首帶著復古味的迷人歌曲，讓人忍不住想跟著拍手唱和。

歌詞的部份也是一絕，看了歌詞之後才知道每首歌都是一個故事，

有的甜美，有的悲傷，有的殘酷，有的諷刺，有些需要一點想像力才能理解，

不過說的都是身邊可能遇到的平凡人的故事，或甚至就是你我的故事，

主唱/創作Stuart Murdoch用很有詩意的方式，把這些故事用歌詞精彩的表達出來。

如果只有聽歌曲而沒有注意歌詞內容，就真的太可惜了。



這是一張很適合在心情煩悶低落時聽的輕鬆小品，

沒有吵吵鬧鬧，只有清新優美可愛又讓人想搖擺的歌曲。

我只能說，好聽得不得了。

（我也該找找他們前幾張專輯來聽聽了...）

-----

這個樂團在官方網站上,有巡迴演唱時在各地寫的blog,內容都蠻精彩(而且惹笑)的。

這篇是2004年他們去日本參加富士搖滾音樂祭時寫的,很長,可是好笑到一種境界(而且很有親切感!!)XD

如果有耐性看完的話,這篇真的很好玩...

Tokyo     04 | 08 | 04

I'm on the bus heading for the airport, slightly hungover, driving over some stunning bridges, passing a ferris wheel, apartment blocks, a glistening chemical plant, a barge with a guy shovelling a pyramid of earth on it, a car that looks like it's built from lego, a guy driving a truck on a bright red mobile phone. It all seems ordered and familiar, however. I enjoyed Lost in Translation. It caught the jet-lagged emptiness of travelling so well, but I think it makes Tokyo seem more alien than it actually is.

On Sunday we had a day off. We jumped on the tube to the palace gardens, then to Shibuya, the dense commercial district. Bob went to a part of town where teenagers go on a Sunday and dress up in different outfits. A popular theme is 'raped schoolgirl'. This involves a dishevelled and torn uniform, tousled hair, smeared lipstick and fake blood. They pose for the paedophiles who like to take their photographs. Apparently. I didn't see it myself. I did see someone with the most impressive quiff I have ever seen, however. Emerging from a mohican, it must have been over two feet long. 


The toys here are exceptional. Paul found what has to be the best example. It's a panda. Well, a robot panda with wings. Robot wings. The top of it'shead snaps open to reveal another panda inside. It's not clear if it's another robot panda or just a panda. This panda has a couple of levers in it's hands, controlling the brain of the big panda.There are a lot of western themed bars and restaurants. Mos Burger is possibly the biggest fast food chain. It's Japanese in the way that MnS sushi isn't. You can get a teryaki chicken burger or a rice burger, which has two cakes of rice instead of a roll, and a shredded filling of gingery beef. If you have to, there's a cheeseburger, but where's the fun in that?

Yesterday we spent the whole day doing interviews etc. In the evening we went to a restaurant with some friends. They were very excited. 'Can you see what it is?' they asked as we walked up the stairs to the wooden balcony. Recognition snapped into place and I realised we were on the set of Kill Bill, in the room where the 5678s play and Uma Thurman goes slicing. Again, the food was astounding. The visual highlight was brought to the table, wriggling like a sea anemone's tentacles. The dish appeared to be alive, but was actually potato dumplings that were topped with extremely delicate wafers of fish skin. The warmth of the dumplings wafted the fish, making them move. There was hot and cold sake. The cold tasted like chardonnay. 


After the meal, the girls we were with initiated a drinking competition, then completely destroyed us. One girl called Yoko, slightly built and gentle looking, could open her mouth then pour a pint of beer down her throat without swallowing. I've only ever known girls to be good at this kind of thing. Most guys, even the biggest of lumbering rugby players, just gulp, gasp and slobber as the froth falls down their chins. Personally, I reckon my tonsils are too big. After we were defeated, they took us to a karaoke bar. I'm still hoarse today. I started with Don't Stop Me Now, appropriately. Bob's rendition of Supercalifragilisticexpealidotious, or Paul's No Scrubs may have been the highlights, although Laurence Bell's Cheap Trick numbers were pretty good too, especially when he fell through a table. A few people did Take Me Out. The backing track sounded like one of those ringtones you can get for phones. The funniest bit was the video, though. They're always inappropriate. This one had a Japanese couple proposing on a beach in soft focus, the engagement ring glistening on the finger as the last notes died. Almost what I had in my head when writing the lyrics. Some of the guys from the Libertines turned up and we sang Up The Bracket. They then stuck TMO on again. By this point I had drank away all remnants of self consciousness, social awkwardness, taste or decency and decided to sing it. It was exactly the same as doing Top of the Pops or CD:UK, when only the vocal is live. Well, almost.

I'm on the plane back to London now. It's loaded with indie. I can see Belle and Sebastian, Graham Coxon and various others from where I'm sitting. Everyone's returning from Fuji Rock. That was one hell of a festival. You can see the mountains behind the sudience as you play. We did some interviews and as we were walking between places we were absolutely mobbed. It's the nearest to Beatlemania we've ever experienced. In fact, when we arrived at the hotel, there were several people already there, waiting for us and our autographs. It's happened a few times before, but never to this extent. There was lots of picture taking too. Theres a little ritual with every shot - the photographer says "three, two, one, GO!", then takes the picture. Often the countdown is accompanied by the fingers of one hand illustrating the action. There was a guy this morning who was very nice, but a little more zealous than anyone else. I was in the foyer of the hotel and realised that I'd left something I needed in my case. I'd packed in a bit of a hurry this morning and the contents were a bit of a disheveled mess, stale stage clothes nestling amongst unwashed socks, so I pulled it behind a screen for a little privacy. As I was rummaging amongst the musty tour detritus, I heard a voice behind me...

"Three, two, one, GO!"

This guy was a real completist.

最近迷上了看Franz Ferdinand的MV和live表演的影片。

這個團的音樂我去年開始接觸，當時是因為在MTV台看到這個團的訪談和一些MV，

覺得很叉滴，就找他們的音樂來聽聽看，結果一聽就上癮了XD

最近一時興起，上YouTube找了他們的live演出影片，又在這裡看到他們從以前到現在所有的MV。



看完這麼多影片，只有一個感想：這個團夠騒包又愛演XD

他們是個會花很多心思在MV的樂團，幾乎每支都很有特色，

俗又有力的劇情加上團員們搞笑耍痞的表演，讓我看得超叉滴XD

（最佳例證有The Dark of the Matinee, Do You Want To, 還有Walk Away）

不過最近有兩支B面單曲，風格和第二張專輯裡的歌曲蠻不一樣的，

L. Wells的MV就拍得超棒，和歌曲風格非常搭配，又很有味道（一點都不搞笑喔！）

和有點怪異的Jeremy Fraser都是完全黑白色調。



他們的live表演更是一絕了，之前就耳聞這個團的現場功力一流，

看到影片果然不假－－一群人穿著西裝唱搖滾樂，還有設計台步是怎樣啊？XD

看這幾個傢伙邊唱歌邊齊步跺腳，實在太妙了~~~~~~

我只能說，有機會實在很想親眼目睹他們的現場表演啊。

-----

這是我第一次去The Wall看表演,

看的卻是旺福最後一次有Judy的表演。

其實整場表演都非常精彩,曲目也都可說是一時之選

(有我肖想很久的先生!!有阿郎的心聲!!有完整版環遊世界!!而且竟然還有蔣公!!!!!!)

只是看到台上的Judy不時露出若有所思的神情,

讓我忍不住想起,唉,說到底這還是個道別的場合。

小民把場面的氣氛炒得超熱,不過雖然大家笑得人仰馬翻,

卻少了之前第三張專輯發片演唱會那種high到最高點的感覺,

因為再high還是忍不住會有那麼一點感傷。

最後Judy在唱DoReMi,含淚說著感性的話時,

我真的有種在和好朋友道別的感覺,差一點眼眶含淚。

和這一階段的旺福說再見,有點像跟過去幾年來生活中的一部份道別,

在祝福的同時又有一點小小擔心,接下來接替的主唱人選如果是由唱片公司選,

是不是有點不妙啊...?

那我看還是由旺福第五人遞補上去比較好XD (可是醬就會變成兩個男主唱的團...XDz)

昨晚(又)在河岸留言看了旺福一年一度的發片演唱會。

很可惜某腐沒能一起去，

因為實在是太好玩了~~ XD

看了這麼多場旺福的表演，

這場大概是繼去年萬聖趴踢以來最high的一場。

而且，被我半強迫拉去看的二街看完後也超叉滴的，

果然只要見識過旺福現場(搞笑)功力的人都會上鉤啊XDDDD



下面的歌單不完全按照順序，全靠模糊記憶寫出來的：

1. 100 100

肚皮展現打鼓功力!!!!!!!!!!!現場聽這首真的會很high

很想給他跳起來

2. 兩個恰恰好

從這首開始帶動唱的魔咒...還專門來一小段觀眾合音的solo...

有沒有那麼執著啊 XD

3. 羅馬假期

這首現場聽起來怎麼跟CD那麼像!!!!!!!(這是一種讚美)

還有，小民的吉他solo真強!!!!!!!!

4. Do Re Me(台語版)

持續帶動唱的精神，而且對觀眾要求越來越多，

小民強調大家可以不用真的唱出聲，但嘴型和動作一定要出來...XD

而且現場的大家竟然也乖乖的跟著做了那個怪動作(其實小民有強迫大家)!!!!!!

包括我!!!!!!!!

5. 肝功能衰竭

還不死心的想要繼續帶動唱...XDb

不過這回就沒那麼多人敢大聲唱了，因為歌詞的尺度(?)...

6. 007

這首歌的重點是小民的嬌嗔。現場並加上跺腳的"人家不依"的動作。

7. 有星星的晚上

很舒服的一首歌，大家也藉機冷靜一下...(啥?)

頭一次現場聽推機獨唱哩。

8. 很多鵝(肚皮Blues版)

小民說肚皮一直想嘗試唱Blues版，不想一直唱兒歌版，

結果真的就讓肚皮出來唱了!!!!!!!

肚皮的風格果然跟小民相當不同...每一句都很戲劇化的飆歌，

幾乎是每唱一句就笑翻一堆人

還有!!Judy!!原來妳會打鼓!!!!! XD

9. 很多鵝(小民Blues版)

聽完肚皮版後，忍不住覺得Blues版還是給小民唱吧，

你唱兒歌版比較適合喔。

-------------以下是下半場--------------

10. Ringo

又一首現場跟CD聽起來很像的歌。其實我也覺得這首有作主打歌的潛力說...

11. 魚兒水中游

小民說這是一首心機很重的歌，其創作的靈感來自在河邊看到鯉魚逆流而上......

肚皮還示範了一下如何裝可愛打鼓XD

不過話說回來，這首歌真好聽。

12. 阿郎的心聲

新專輯中我最最期待的歌啊!!!!!現場的大家都跟著數121說，

看來大家對這首歌已經很熟了。

整首歌的highlight是最後的solo，但是卻突槌了XDb

再度證明小民是個執著的人，solo彈錯就要一直彈到好為止，

現場燈光還很配合的在他彈錯時熄燈...(笑倒)

13. 水蜜桃輓歌

原來這首歌是要給XXX姐姐唱的嗎?之前沒聽說過，

不過我想以她的形象是不會接受的吧:P

小民並表演了吉他手一定要會的幾個花招。

14. 胖妞的怒吼

超high的一首歌~~小民請你趕快把自製的MV上傳給大家看吧!!!!!!!!!

15. 上海花

超懷念的感覺...去年此時我就是在同一個地方聽他們唱這首歌，

心裡想:"怎麼那麼好聽啊!!"

現場有很多人都會唱哩。

16. 迷你裙

這首完全是個大合唱的情況，感人到有位小姐看到一半點眼藥水...XD

結果被眼尖的小民看到了，還當場問她為何要點眼藥水

小民還說"不要以為我們好像很投入，其實都有在注意台下在幹嘛"

所以說我有時候覺得自己被小民看不是錯覺嘍...?

(總以為是他眼睛小又瞇成一條線，會形成他在看自己的錯覺XD)

17. 看什麼看(新一點靈B12)

承上，所以這首歌是小民要獻給眼藥水女孩的歌XDDDDD

(他本來要獻給她"看什麼看"的，但觀眾反應歌曲與這女孩完全無關，

才改成看什麼看之新一點靈B12，當然，副標是小民自己加的)

小民唱到"看什麼看"這句時還指著眼藥水女孩，果然是要獻給她的(再度笑倒)



這首歌唱完還有個莫名奇妙出現的高潮!!!!!!!

唱完之後，眼藥水女孩站起來鼓掌，結果台上的小民看到了，

就說:"應該連旁邊的人都一起站起來才對"

所以音樂再下一次，這次她附近的人都有站起來(包括我XD)，

但是呢，有站的還是少數人而已。

小民又再次發揮他執著的精神，音樂再來一次，

還邊彈邊說:"我就不信邪!!我要彈到所有人都站起來為止!!"

這次!!大家都站起來了!!少數幾個還賴在位子上的都被小民指!!

不站起來反而丟臉!!!!!

多虧小民的執著和厚臉皮，

我才第一次在河岸目睹全場起立鼓掌的場面啊XD

(後來他還自己說，其實彈的時候超擔心的，不知道要彈多久大家才會站起來XDDDD)

18. 我的名字叫做吉米漢醉克斯

這首歌更懷念了~~不過唱到一半時肚皮似乎突槌了，

小民說肚皮害他一下從高空掉到地面上XD

所以便出現了下一首的懲罰...(到底是懲罰觀眾還是肚皮呢??小民說兩者都有...)

(其實本來還叫肚皮唱七里香，結果肚皮完全亂唱，

到底知不知道七里香是哪一首啊？XDDD

19. 小美人(忘詞亂唱版)

肚皮啊肚皮~~這可是你最新主打耶!!怎麼會忘詞忘成這樣...XD

我其實很喜歡這首歌，Judy和推機的合聲也很美，(Judy再次客串鼓手!!!!!!!)

下次期待現場演唱正常版。

20. 我小的時候都去Spin

招牌ending曲，大家沒一起站起來跳有點可惜。

不過坦白說，聽這首歌我一半很high一半想著:"拜託快唱完吧!!!!我膀胱快爆了!!!!!!!!!!!"

所以我大概也不太適合站起來跳...



小記：

昨天河岸實在太多人，所以我中場沒有去廁所，結果一步錯，步步錯，

下半場大概從水蜜桃輓歌開始我就有點坐立難安，

造成邊叉滴邊硬憋的狀態，下次不能再這樣了!!!!!!!!!!



另外，這兩天會把照片上傳，

不過重頭戲其實是我拍了四段影片檔...(哇哈哈1G記憶卡萬歲!!!!!!!)

所以照片也沒什麼好期待的其實。(毆)
