過幾年如果仍舊單身，那我娶音樂為妻

　　監禁在無趣的部隊中，我漸漸感覺到孤寂；聽不到動人的歌曲，喝不到爽口的啤酒，更重要的是，找不到聊音樂的夥伴。

　　在大學生活中，身旁有許多和我有著同樣音樂頻率的人，我還記得，我們可以為了回味一首歌的一小段吉他和弦而翹掉一整天的課，我們曾經不經意的同時哼出同一首歌的同一段音樂旋律。原來，汙濁的台北空氣，竟然是如此的令人懷念。

　　為了排泄國軍累積在我心中的寂寞，買CD似乎是最好的方法。每週的休假，我一定會去唱片行尋寶。就在昨天，我發現了《Slanted & Enchanted》的重發版，看著鮮紅的專輯封面，我似乎想起了大學生活，想起了漂亮的台北人行道，於是我毫不遲疑的將它買下，儘管家裡的CD架上仍然躺著原始版本。

　　這張重發版可說是物超所值。它有漂亮的包裝，精美的小冊子，還有很棒的曲目：除了原始專輯的14首歌之外，還收錄了許多未發行的錄音作品，以及Brixton Academy的演唱會版本，總共48首歌。

　　我應該不會將《Slanted & Enchanted》的原始版本賣掉，對我而言，它代表著一種回憶，賣掉它，等於遺棄了回憶。沒有回憶的靈魂，就像沒有皺紋的老人一樣可怕。
