We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions-love, antipathy, charity, or malice-and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her feeling was rather that, given the nature of the human couple, the love of man and woman is a priori inferior to that which can exist (at least in the best instances) in the love be-tween man and dog, that oddity of human history probably unplanned by the Creator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a completely selfless love: Tereza did not want any-thing of Karenin; she did not ever ask him to love her back. Nor had she ever asked herself the questions that plague human couples: Does he love me? Does he love anyone more than me? Does he love me more than I love him? Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Milan Kundera, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the unbearable lightness of being&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

to be okay. sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank god for bavarian sugar cookies. and, fortunately, when there aren’t any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten danish, soft-spoken secrets, and fender stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. and we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. they are here to save our lives. i know the idea seems strange, but i also know that it just so happens to be true.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/LEUNGY%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reading'/><title type='text'>A Thousand Country Roads</title><content type='html'>The epilogue to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Bridges of Madison County&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A Thousand Country Roads&lt;/span&gt;, was published in 2001 due to the overwhelming requests from readers over the finale of Robert Kincaid and Francesca Johnson, as claimed by the author Robert James Waller. The book, of course, is not a sequel to the previous best-seller, since it deals with mainly another story, of Kincaid meeting with Carlisle McMillan, the son he begot after he had been discharged from the U.S. marines in the wake of WWII.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you read it as a sequel, the narrative will disappoint you. There is not much to tell about Francesca, neither is Kincaid's passion towards the Iowa farmer's wife. There is a brief description on the lovers' almost re-encounter on the Roseman Bridge, the trysting place where the romance begins 16 years ago, yet the author never states whether the truck she heard up the hill is Kincaid's Harry(his car's name) heading away. Not knowing and afraid of what would happen when they meet again, the photographer has come to say adieu to his once and only great love, which is epitomized by the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author does confirm that between Kincaid and Francesca great love has occurred though in his description, both are not certain whether the feeling sustains in the other's heart after all those years. Yet this is where the suspense lies. In the later years of Kincaid's life, he suddenly comes across a 'son' and a woman he has made love to forty years ago (which is the main part of this story).  A new kind of emotion is stirred up, and he is thus filled with guilt and care. He confesses to Carlisle that he has not loved his mother back then (when free love prevails after war), and he instructs Carlisle to burn all his work, including Francesca's photos, for he wants no traces of his life in this world after death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author seems to hint at the end, that Kincaid, after meeting his son, desires to take back the will of sending all his personal properties to Francesca. But busying with seeing Carlisle and the mother, he is prevented to do so and dying of heart attack leaves his cameras and the old photos eventually at Francesca's hand. This has already been told in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Bridges of the Madison County&lt;/span&gt; but we do not know the details lying in between.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is thus interesting, as a work of fiction, this two-part romance manifests itself in the form of research work prying into the real life of real people. So what else between Kincaid and Francesca? This is not we should ask about as we would on some simple melodramas. This is what life seems to be. Francesca loves Kincaid to the end but it MAY not be true in reverse. But it is this 'maybe' that gives life so much mystery and secret sparks that shine in the dark, as are stars that shine in our heart, at some epiphany moments for us to remember all through our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

type='html'>【本報訊】繼中環天星碼頭，保育兒童為捍衛皇后碼頭，再次以「社運式」的公民抗命抗爭，並成功霸佔電視傳媒全日大時段的新聞畫面，以及得到翌日印刷媒體的大篇幅報道。網上民間記者團體獨媒(InMedia)更全程貼身追擊現場，以圖取得保殖現場第一手的「話語權」及「書寫權」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英國在七十年前仍統紿世界四分一版圖，殖民地遍佈南北半球。位於遠東的香港，開埠一百五十年來，因港英政府種種手段，顯著者如「行政吸納」，將社會精英整合到官僚結構，結果社會在戰後都市化的過程中，保持長期穩定，反對勢力未能形成對統治的威脅。除了五七年右派暴動及六七年左派暴動外，香港未有出現大的社會動盪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;市民陳先生向記者表示，他上世紀七十年代初就讀香港大學，是「國粹派」的一員中堅份子，後來四人幫倒台，他們一幫活躍份子也隨畢業而各散東西，不少加入港英政府、英資、美資跨國企業，發了達，「火紅年代」學運成為回憶。他自己在九十年代樓價高企時賺不少，於九七前移民加國，回流時卻遇上金融風暴，只能在一份左派報章謀個職位，沙士時被解僱，週日流連維園一帶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;陳先生不無感慨表示，當年火紅人士個個充滿理想憧憬，緊隨毛澤東路線，信奉馬列主義，反資反殖。現在回想，香港作為英國芸芸殖民地之一，其實是一個異數，沒有出現如印度的獨立運動。到了上世紀八十年代，種種施政如設立廉政、有薪假期、公共醫療、免費教育、勞工保障，確立市民安居樂業的日子，為英國殖民歷史「省靚招牌」，反殖死灰已不能復燃。鄧小平要收回及保持不變的，便是這個「對辦」的香港。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;陳先生淒然嘆曰，他一直留意天星和皇后碼頭的新聞，從昔日的反殖到今天的「保殖」，見證了三十年香港都市化以來的社會變遷。從前香港社運如保釣，是大議題，世界各地於上世紀六七十年代，社運也是風起雲湧。法國六八年大罷工，反對戴高樂專制，新任總統薩爾科齊亦曾參與其中；六十年代至七十年代的美國反越戰運動，有胡士托作佈景，影星珍．芳達一呼百應將運動推上高潮，等等，伴著搖滾音樂和新浪潮電影，構造了一代社運的浪漫想像。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;記者聽得出神，陳先生拍拍記者肩頭說，香港從來不是政治城市，年輕一輩絕大部份生活在溫飽線上，中國改革開放，國力崛起，可供社運使用的議題匱乏，發「社運」之幽情的年青人，聲言誓保兩座不具特色的殖民地建築，於發展就是硬道理的今天，已所餘無幾。時下後生不是在星巴克結社喪打PSP，便是在家中一支弓上討論區，保殖兒童不論在香港還是在世界舞台上，實屬罕見現象，政府應申請列為受保護動物或文化遺產。陳先生在此不忘大讚香港警方「夠pro」：「我看電視見到警方小心翼翼對付他們，唯恐傷了他們一汗毛；而一干『保青』一遭觸碰便大叫『好痛！』，面容扭曲，實於我心戚戚然也。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;陳先生補充，當他看見這樣的畫面，不得不感慨時代變了，當年左派動輒遭港英打壓，坐牢扣押是平常事。的確，現在要尋找生活的意義實在不易，稍為讀了一點書，便會容易想歪一邊，變得憤世嫉俗，或像他當年誤入歧途，遭人利用。陳先生說：「都是不讀書好。」&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;好，到真正落場睇，前大部份都在詳細交待博派、狂派前來地球打架，美國國防部緊張應變，一如《天煞》等外星災難戲的鋪排，基本上冇乜交打，只是個別狂派機械人和美軍對戰及音波Frenzy的刺探行為，和博派機械人「大黃蜂」 (Bumblebee)和大學生Sam的交情。笑位反而幾多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;電影的機械人主角，是大黃蜂和Frenzy。後段柯柏文大戰麥加登，只打了幾手，完全唔夠喉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;令人眼花撩亂是變身的特技太目眩，飛沙走石充滿畫面。但沒有理由跟不上節奏。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;柯柏文「拯救人類」的一段「深情義氣表白」有點肉麻。不說可以嗎？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;電影對人類科技、軍事技術的描繪好像表現出以往電影沒有的自信，人類對「外星人」不感到莫大的神秘和恐懼，且頗有幽默(例如Sector 7人員成竹在胸的表現)，沒有了以往電影那種力有不逮的感覺(大概是由於博派是人類朋友吧)。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這是一次十分滿足的觀影。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try

id="vidDescBegin"&gt;Serge Gainsbourg創作，原本作要與妻子Brigitte Bardot(碧姬芭鐸)合唱，結果變成和新情人Jane Birkin的情歌。模擬高潮的唱腔惹來禁播。歌曲在1969年登上Top of the Pops第2位。如下：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a

Habit"，結果找來歌曲原裝法文版"Laisse Tomber Les Filles"，同樣由&lt;span id="vidDescBegin"&gt;Serge Gainsbourg創作，由一個名叫France Gall的法國女歌星於1964年主唱。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Death Proof&lt;/span&gt;的版本由美國indie pop女唱作歌手April March(有趣的名字)改編成"Chick Habit"，屬1995年作品。兩個版本均是Cutie &amp; Sexy。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Laisse Tomber Les Filles":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object

/&gt;已經轉型做田園詩人（或稱英國版區瑞強）的Louis Eliot，十幾年前曾和隊友Johnny Bull以Kinky Machine名義出現，後解體重組成Rialto，帶來一系列充滿電影感的愛情流行曲。Louis細膩達意的歌詞，功力不比Jarvis Cocker遜色。像"Monday Morning 5.19", "Dream another dream", "Untouchable"等，均是同名大碟內的classic pop tunes。第二張大碟&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Night on Earth&lt;/span&gt;，走techno路線，惜掀不起話題，但碟內如"Catherine", "Failing in love", "I drove the car that took my love away"，仍是不可多得的一流ballad，纏綿悱惻，猶像一首首愛情電影的插曲。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MV同樣首首精品。"When we're together"講述一名痴情男子日夜跟蹤及偷拍心上女子，如此題材落在Jarvis Cocker手上，會變成如"Pencil Skirt"那種偷窺偷妻的寫實諷刺作品，而在英國Albert Au手上，則變得十分emotional，浪漫和電影化。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;烈日正酷，浪漫風暴消逝之時，更覺那首風行一時的"Summer's Over"愁腸百轉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie"

/&gt;總沒可能個幾兩個鐘全部飛車戲吧，那還不如去看賽車。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;兩場飛車戲，第一場短，爆發力強。第二場分兩part，互相追逐，更扣人心弦，尤其是復仇一場，看得興奮。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;出字幕時，忍不住和其他觀眾鼓了掌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try

type='text'>Suede "Heroine"歌曲藏毒考及其他</title><content type='html'>"Heroine"是否歌曲藏毒，看看這個生字便知道，Heroin者海洛英，至於Heroine，則是英文中"hero"的女性稱謂，不辯自明。此猜測想必來自前作"Animal Nitrate"及"Sleeping pills"等大量implicit及explicit的毒品references，令人對此歌也想入非非。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另外，有人認為此歌和妓女有關，蓋歌詞出現脫衣( Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers...)、色情( Pornographic and tragic in black and white...)及成年( I'm 18, I need my heroines...)等字眼。但翻查網上資料，發現以下這一段&lt;a href="http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=16606"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;頗為中的，認為歌曲展示的是成長之中對女性概念的形成，如來自瑪麗蓮夢露的黑白艷照，而這些女性，則又是命運悲劇的主角人物。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The song is based from the Lord Byron poem which begins with the same line, "she walks in beauty, like the night".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This song really doesn't have anything to do with a prostitute. It's more about a boy who is becoming a man (I'm eighteen and I need my heroines) identifying his notions of women with his female idols - who are actresses and pin-up girls pinned to his wall. These women are traditional femmes fatale, as shown by the reference to Raphaella, the pre-Raphaelite princess. Femmes fatale have traditionally shown up in art as symbols of the downfall of men, which is evident by his "dying." Yes, Anderson and Butler are quite arty in their references."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brett Anderson歌詞：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        She walks in beauty like the night&lt;br /&gt;Discarding her

style="color: black; background-color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Of cloudless climes and starry skies;&lt;br /&gt;And all that's best of dark and bright&lt;br /&gt;Meet in her aspect and her eyes:&lt;br /&gt;Thus mellow'd to that tender light&lt;br /&gt;Which heaven to gaudy day denies.&lt;p&gt;One shade the more, one ray the less,&lt;br /&gt;Had half impair'd the nameless grace&lt;br /&gt;Which waves in every raven tress,&lt;br /&gt;Or softly lightens o'er her face;&lt;br /&gt;Where thoughts serenely sweet express&lt;br /&gt;How pure, how dear their dwelling place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,&lt;br /&gt;So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,&lt;br /&gt;The smiles that win, the tints that glow,&lt;br /&gt;But tell of days in goodness spent,&lt;br /&gt;A mind at peace with all below,&lt;br /&gt;A heart whose love is innocent!&lt;/p&gt;有趣的是，Lord Byron原詩要兩句連讀才成意思(因第一句尾沒有標點)：SHE walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies，意像是漆黑中散發光明，如單以「黑夜」形容如水清澈、美麗如花的女性，則變成不知所云，和下文意思斷裂。Brett Anderson卻斷章取義，截取第一句"SHE walks in beauty, like the night"，卻和歌曲的暗黑點調子配合，所描女性，亦由高貴優雅、溫柔婉約形像，轉化成少年房中牆上的黑白女明星艷照，由高上而下流，由(真正深刻的)古典至(近世淺薄的)懷舊，是不是有點坎普(camp)？無論如何，Brett當年的Glam，在今天看來無疑是坎普的傑作。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>頗有George Orwell小說&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;1984&lt;/span&gt;的味道。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當年曾遭禁播，作為Dog Man Star第一發single，被認為是商業自殺。（要說商業自殺，suede早有前科，故意將經典作品"My insatiable one"放於"The Drowners"的B-side，才算我行我素，目空一切的舉措。）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;豬(pig)，是suede最常用的imagery之一。哺乳類低等動物，和狗(dog man star中的"dog")處於進化第一階段，等如革命前夕，處於受壓狀態的無產階級，不願做奴隸的人們，搖身成"stars of the firing line".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以Glam look示人的Brett Anderson的創作力處於顛峰，唱腔發揮也最淋漓盡致。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;教堂的鐘聲刺耳得如一響響鑽入耳膜的警笛，由Bernard Butler清晰有力的結他導出，預示執政階層（西方文明？）的墮落。歌曲成於93/94年， 靈感或來自東歐變天，風起雲湧的革命年代。畫面中戴面具的人抬著擔架疾走，令人想起1989年6月4 日。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4T7c-KK03ts"&gt;&lt;param

/&gt;十二、三年前，互聯網方興未艾，全球一體化還在胚胎之中，尚未成形，美國及其他資本主義國家的消費主義，在後冷戰時代、唯一意識形態對手倒台後已成霸權。西風東漸，中國及俄國掛著羊頭重新崛起，富起來的人拼命消費，要和富裕世界看齊，然而富裕世界的人早在消費主費花多眼亂的迷宮裏迷失。&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;五色令人目盲，五音令人耳聾，五味令人口爽，馳騁畋獵令人心發狂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;留意MV裏蒼白的人造光，人們木然、疏離。敞大的超市整齊排列一架架一式一樣的貨品，豈不是今天沃爾瑪(Wal-Mart)的寫照？難道又不是星巴克世代來臨的預言？個性被大眾取締。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thom

Innocence&lt;/em&gt;(心外幽情)，拍得中規中矩吧，未看過原著的話，可能會悶到訓著，但看過原著的話，又會覺得完全是隔靴搔癢，Edith Wharton的原著太精彩，很多東西電影都拍不到，兩小時十八分的戲（對馬大導來是算短的了）竟是嚴重不足，感覺好像睇緊名著的中學簡化版，只能說戲中的陳設、布置和裝飾一絲不苟，頗為落本和大堆頭。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;劉德華投資、林子聰處男導演的《得閒飲茶》十分好看，好看過彭浩翔的處男作《買兇拍人》。方力申和Viann的選角一流，配角林家棟也有神來之筆，肥仔聰手法乾淨俐落，處理最新港式男女感情惹笑且不缺深度，前途無可限量，十分欣賞劉華有心支持新晉電影人。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

Galaxy&lt;/em&gt;/&lt;em&gt;HHGTTG&lt;/em&gt;)，中文名改得頗爛，但其由Douglas Adams的所作的原著，和《是的，首相》(Yes, Prime Minister)，同是英國廣播公司BBC當年的著名趣劇，曾被改編成劇作、電視連續劇和小說，廿多年來累積了一批科幻擁躉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

Android造型可愛 ，英國樂隊Radiohead最出名的實驗歌曲"Paranoid Android"，相信名字即源於此。雖然歌詞沒有相關指涉，但Thom Yorke曾說：It's about being exposed to God. &lt;em&gt;HHGTTG&lt;/em&gt;提出的終極問題：Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything，答案原來並非上帝，而是讓人抓破頭的「42」，多年來困惑無數fans。而給出這個迷離答案的，正是超級電腦Deep Thought，沒錯，曾和世界冠軍Gary Kasparov對壘的IBM超級電腦"Deep Thought"，正是出於向Douglas Adams的創作致敬。這本「銀河系自由行手冊」背面刻印的"Don't Panic"，又成了英國樂隊Coldplay的同名歌曲。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;we live in a beautiful world/yeah we do, yeah we do/we live in a beautiful &lt;a

Dent戲末否定了「42」這個宇宙終極問題的答案，確認「愛」（狹義的，並非全人類的大同博愛）才是人生意義之所寄。奇想不斷，結尾添上如此人性化的一筆，確有點睛之效。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;'cos yeah everybody here's got somebody to lean

type='html'>這是1995年杜德偉先生舊作，填詞人陳少琪。其時陳少琪顛峰已過，出品的詞作中規中矩，驚喜不多。〈愛變了這世界襯衣〉一向是深宵節目的長青歌曲，聽了多年，由於聽時多處昏睡狀態，未能深究歌詞，至近日復活節長假期每每夜深人未睡，故腦筋轉動之下，嘗試咀嚼歌中意思。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不果。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無論從客觀看，還是抽象地看，「愛已變這世界襯衣」一句狗屁不通，根本不能令人聯想到什麼──除了一頭霧水。「霧水已變了這世界襯衣」尚可解，但即使加入無限感性或主觀詮釋，也不能理解「愛變了這世界襯衣」箇中意味，或構出一幅什麼樣的圖畫。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;愛　　&lt;/span&gt;變了這　&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;世界　　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;襯衣&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;抽象&lt;/span&gt;　　　　　&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;抽象&lt;/span&gt;　　&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;實物&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;太抽象了。如果是「愛變了這地球襯衣」，尚可監粗解之；或，既然一樣東西變成了襯衣，那樣東西總得是實物吧。問題明顯出在「襯衣」上。字面來說，要將抽象意念轉化為實物，實在是宇宙諾貝爾獎的得獎大發現，上帝也不明白。同情地以修辭來說，襯衣顯然是比喻，比喻即係要人思考轉化（仲要係隱喻喎），但這個比喻是如此的新奇事，前無古人後無來者，讀者未能拿任何前作來參考，說「o拿，李白咁用過喎！」雖然，未用過的比喻，不表示是無效的比喻，但按前文後理，又看不出這句「愛變了這地球襯衣」有任何有效意思喎。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;愛已變了這世界襯衣&lt;br /&gt;哪裡有愛哪裡會有繽紛盛事（襯衣＝繽紛盛事？） 沒有你仍不知&lt;br /&gt;愛已變了這世界襯衣&lt;br /&gt;哪裡有你哪裡會有玩意 （襯衣＝玩意？） 地點不須介意&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;結果是，由於比喻是用簡單易明的詞彙引起聯想（不會有人用「鉬」作比喻掛），即使陳少琪用了人人都明的「襯衣」來作比喻，一時之間，或經過思考之後（如要經詳細思考，這已經是非常不高明的比喻），卻依然令人一頭霧水，還要比喻上再作比喻，直至不知所云，死而後已，是一個無效、不合格的比喻。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;***&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;稍後，深宵節目主持播出哥哥張國榮的〈想你〉，填詞人小美，一句歌詞說「痴心像馬戲」，同樣令人不解，但緊接的下一句歌詞是「似小丑眼內希冀」，連用兩個明喻，而後一句又合理地作出解釋，歌中那個傻仔形象便甚為突出，此兩詞之間高手和低手的分野所在也。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Less"、"Modern Way"、"Na Na Na Na Naa"（擔正旗號！）及"Oh My God"等極POP之餘又不能說是不耐聽。 推出不久的新碟 &lt;em&gt;Yours Truly, Angry Mob&lt;/em&gt;已見收歛，但歌曲仍是十分易上口，耳朵受落，I am loving it! 另，樂隊創作靈魂主腦兼唱和音的鼓手Nick

Libertine"以激昂澎湃的進行曲調子，作出壯懷激烈的宣言。馬戲班裏的女孩、滿肚密圈的魔術師、陰險奸詐的傳道者、行為怪異的遊吟詩人、搭順風車的旅者、破釜沈舟的海盜和指引迷途的吉卜賽人，均是道阻且長的過客；他到過斷崖、攀過燈塔、越過鐵道、探索過纏滿蔓藤的寶屋、佇立於鉛雲密佈的海港，在清清的河口凝望自己的倒影，以及隱現無形的幽靈。這是一頓流動的饗宴，也是日遠天闊、柳暗花明的冒險樂園。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;剛推出的最新專輯，是顏彩斑斕的&lt;em&gt;The Magic Position&lt;/em&gt;。歷險歸來的狼之子，像羅賓漢一樣領著一班草莽英雄，踢著草鞋、敲著棍子，浩浩蕩蕩地揹著一身叮叮噹噹的戰利品凱旋歸航。他們在馬戲班裏盡情歌舞，踢踢躂躂，迴旋木馬轉出歡樂的泉源，馬戲班女孩是靈感的魔幻女神。狼的孩子不再是在古城倫敦和巴黎流浪、遭人追害和痛苦掙扎的棄童，他的世界有了色彩，因為&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's you&lt;br /&gt;Who puts me in the magic position, darling now&lt;br /&gt;You put me in the magic position&lt;br /&gt;To live, to learn, to love in the major key&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

She's not very good at slushy stuff? That, to me, is a problem, as it would be to any male who heard Dusty Springfield singing 'The Look of Love' at an impressionable age. That was what I thought it was all going to be like when I was married...I thought there was going to be this sexy woman with a sexy voice and lots of sexy eye makeup whose devotion to me shone from every pore. And there is such a thing as the look of love--Dusty didn't lead us up the garden path entirely--it's just that the look of love isn't what I expected it to be. It's not huge eyes almost bursting with longing situated somewhere in the middle of a double bed with the covers turned down invitingly; it's just as likely to be the look of benevolent indulgence that a mother gives a toddler, or a look of amused exasperation, even a look of pained concern.

The Heart"之後，每次聽都總有一剎那感到毛管戙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time&lt;br /&gt;I was falling in love&lt;br /&gt;But now I'm only falling apart&lt;br /&gt;There's nothing I can do&lt;br /&gt;A total

heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;具有西班牙和希臘血統的廿四歲法國女歌手Kareen Antonn，於零三年和Bonnie Tyler合作，唱出"Totally Eclipse Of The Heart"的英法雙語版"Si Demain "，一樣得。單曲推出後在法國、比利時和波蘭登上第一位，全球賣出二百萬張。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Nick Hornby, &lt;em&gt;High Fidelity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carpenters有一首歌，叫"All You Get From Love Is A Love Song"，有幾句歌詞，是這樣的：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh its a dirty old shame&lt;br /&gt;When all you get from love is a love song&lt;br /&gt;That's got you layin up nights&lt;br /&gt;Just waitin for the music to start&lt;br /&gt;Its such a dirty old shame&lt;br /&gt;When you got to take the blame for a love song&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Because the best love songs are written with a broken heart&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最揪心的歌，是Bonnie Tyler 的"Total Eclipse of the Heart" 。還有Bryan Adams主唱、電影《天生愛情狂》(Don Juan DeMarco) 主題曲"Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman"，看他近年演出，他老了。也許這令歌曲的滄桑味、浪子回頭金不換的感覺更突出。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cD2_Wb3hXHQ" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

Recorder的唱片是我唱片櫃的重要收藏，只可惜樂隊出個三張碟便告玩完，但Sarah Nixey的聲線卻是歷久難忘。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;源自Graham Greene同名小說的處女大碟&lt;em&gt;England Made Me&lt;/em&gt;，第一首歌"Girl Singing in the Wreckage"便已俘虜耳朵。Sarah和Luke Haines彷如夢囈而又帶挑逗的對唱、剝開一層層殘酷現實的歌詞、極其簡單的編曲和悅耳甜美的旋律，無疑是聽覺新體驗。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第二張大碟&lt;em&gt;The Facts of Life&lt;/em&gt;，加入電子元素，編曲豐富不少，但第一首的"The Art of Driving"依然極端搶耳，"The English Motorway System"的感情迷霧幻彩、"May Queen"和"The Facts of Life"的少年殘酷物語、尾曲"Goodnight Kiss"的點滴溫馨，樂隊的蛻變帶來商業上的成功。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NNjyDPOL2Ms" width="425" height="350"

/&gt;《時光倒流七十年》(&lt;em&gt;Somewhere in Time,&lt;/em&gt; 1980)，講述男主角Christopher Reeve(R)，在1972&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/Rf_hgXuq21I/AAAAAAAAAM4/OJhyd9dM96M/s1600-h/Somewhereintime.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043998053920070482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px

Seymour(S)，年老的S交給年青的R一隻鉈錶。8年後，即1980年，R在一間酒店看見一張照像，似曾相識，決定不惜時光倒流，回去1912年，找年青的S。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;按故事的時序發展，R按圖索驥，回到過去後找著年青的S，原來二人不相識，相信係因為時光倒至二人相識前，接著邂逅發生，刻骨銘心的愛情也發生了，卻由於R身上錯帶著一枚1979年的硬幣，結果被送回現代，他亦遺下那隻鉈錶在1912年。戲到這裏，R不能再回去，然後心碎死了，戲完了。可是，按故事發展，S應該一直保存那隻鉈錶，活著到1972年，親手將它交給R，8年後，即1980年，R在一間酒店看見一張照像，似曾相識，決定不惜時光倒流，回去1912年，找年青的S。然後邂逅，發生刻骨銘心的愛情，又因那枚硬幣，遭遣返現代，卻遺下鉈錶...............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;故事在那裏開始？這是一個loop，看的時候感覺非常怪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;早前在188用1蚊買了香港cult片王劉鎮偉導演、技安（即係劉生自己）編劇的《無限復活》(2002)，鄭伊健（E）和張柏芝（C）主演。說的也是「時光倒流」的故事。E在拉斯維加斯賭錢輸光，朋友橫死，在醫院醒來不知發生何事，回家後竟接到之前沒有聽過的神秘電話留言，警告他不要到拉斯維加斯賭錢。技安編劇獨特之處，是E回到過去追查真相時，分開「現在的E」和「過去的E」，讓兩個E同時出現。「現在的E」為了改變歷史，憑先前找到的線索，在「過去」神推鬼擁碰見該名incidental留言人，著他打那個神秘電話提醒「過去的E」，不要到拉斯維加斯。這個電話，便是驅動「現在」的主角回到「過去」的「機緣」，一如那隻鉈錶，連接了過去與現在。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/Rf_hqHuq22I/AAAAAAAAANA/kztNVV_G3xM/s1600-h/Second+Time+Around.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043998221423795042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/Rf_hqHuq22I/AAAAAAAAANA/kztNVV_G3xM/s320/Second+Time+Around.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;一同回到過去的C也是一身兩分，她本身是探員，偵查E朋友橫死的案件。由於「過去」多了兩個人在查案搞事，故事開始時（即戲中的「過去」）E所接收的種種神秘訊息和伏線，都得到了解釋。而「回頭石」，便等如《西遊記》的「月光寶盒」，具有連通時空的法力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;《無限復活》中除了劉鎮偉典型的無聊對答，也不斷埋下不少伏線，如E和C另一半的「巧合外遇」、公路上那個駕警車的煠熟狗頭送花男人、只有一半的「緣份吊墜」、「魔鬼對上帝」的賭局，都隨故事的發展扭結在一起，又隨劇情開進高潮漸次紓解開來。出人意表的是，技安沒有照顧觀眾的「合理期望」，讓已結成一對E和C一同回到現在，反而陰差陽錯，讓「現在的E」和「過去的C」走在一起。結尾一幕將最後一條伏線也解開了，天藍草綠，人生又是一個新開始，那種由巧妙劇情演化出來妙到毫顛的緣份，也讓人不禁激賞技安的編劇巧絕對高超。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;《無限復活》過了中段是一場愈看愈精彩的戲，劉鎮偉沒有落入「時光倒流」不斷自「圓」其說的窠臼，反而創意不斷，是個人繼王家衛《東邪西毒》後另一齣十粒星的一流推介。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;莎岡&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;(Sagan)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;的稱謂來自普魯斯特&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;作詞：林夕　作曲：杜自持　唱：彭羚&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;有沒有一種道理&lt;br

style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;有時，林夕的功力令人驚嘆之處，是他近乎零修辭的白描，像&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Eason&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;《我的快樂時代》或王菲的《曖昧》。彭羚這首《春風》，簡單之中彷彿讓人看見春風亭上的芳草飄飄，麗日下的溫溫情意。年輕歲月像紙鳶斷線不回，如浮雲一吹便散，但卻是天邊嶺端很美的一曲彩霞。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"

style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;除了林振強，周耀輝是我比較喜歡的香港填詞人。林夕太圓滑世故，看透人情的疲憊，像吸鴉片煙呼出一圈又一圈的氤氳霧氣；黃偉文又太用力雕琢、充滿斧鑿匠氣，似一隻過度開屏的孔雀。而產量不高的周耀輝，詞風介乎出世與入世之間，可以激烈似杜鵑啼血，也可以華麗像針繡密織，飽歷滄桑而又不失菱角。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;和泳兒介紹指編曲加入中樂元素，但聽落真係娘爆！周耀輝的古典文學味玩不出魔法，成首歌感覺十分老土過時。若要數中樂式編曲和古典味道，又怎能超越達明一派的《石頭記》？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;達明的《天問》（周耀輝詞），還有&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Beyond&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;的《大地》、《長城》和《農民》（三首皆劉卓輝手筆），都具濃郁的古典或鄉土情懷，而且跨越時代，古典和搖滾結合促成了經典。以流行曲（&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;K&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:新細明體;"&gt;歌）定位的《黛玉笑了》，始終像一片無味的香口膠，加入什麼元素都無補於事。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

昨晚亞洲國際博覽館10號館人頭湧湧，人流管制入場，用了成粒鐘。除了外籍人士，最多十幾歲o靚仔o靚妹（上年看Franz Ferdinand在伊館的表演可不是這種陣容），還以為自己去了漫畫展排長龍。和友人一早佔了$380飛前段位置，看著人群站滿整個場館。不用warm up，一開場已進入亢奮狀態。近日903狂谷的"Starlight"展開全場大合唱序幕，"Plug in Baby" 、 "Stockholm Syndrome " 緊隨，驚訝原來Muse在香港也擁有大band地位。Mathew Bellamy演奏 "Sunburn"、"Butterflies And Hurricanes "等連串鋼琴Solo也是show time戲肉。一首"Running Out Time"掀起最高潮，全場進入瘋狂狀態。完場時帶著溢爆的聽覺細胞、一身汗水和沙啞喉嚨離開，周圍的樂迷不時狂熱高呼，齊齊到場外買啤買水或站或坐歇息攤抖。 &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><title type='text'>All You Get From Love Is A Love Song</title><content type='html'>一年一度，又是聽好情歌的時間。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beatles "Ask Me Why"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please Please Me&lt;/em&gt;大碟中多首情歌之中，個人最喜歡的一首。&lt;br /&gt;Beatles "Til There Was You"　&lt;br /&gt;翻唱作品，保羅主唱，夏理遜的結他獨奏讓人聽出耳油，看得陶醉。&lt;br /&gt;Beatles "In My Life"&lt;br /&gt;連儂曾稱此曲是自己最佳作品，二十多歲寫出一種回看歲月的情懷。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beautiful South "Song for Whoever"　&lt;br /&gt;剛（2007年2月）宣布解散的美麗南方樂團最家傳戶曉的情歌，軟硬曾翻唱。女主音Alison Wheeler的聲線渾厚中帶溫柔，可媲美Karen Carpenter。Cover "Dream a little dream" (金莎廣告版本)證明美麗南方和木匠一樣是翻唱聖手。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bread "If"&lt;br /&gt;荷馬史詩的backdrop，Intro的感覺像泛漾著記憶的漣漪。保羅麥卡尼的"Here, There and Everywhere"打開了soft rock的篇章，大衛蓋茨(David Gates)創作一系如"Diary", "Aubrey"等曲，加上其極富書卷味的唱腔和聲線，將soft rock的精髓發揮到極致。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take That "How Deep Is Your Love"&lt;br /&gt;翻唱是一門很難的技藝。香港歌星很多時翻唱，編曲都係好求其，即係淨sell歌星把聲，不覺有什麼誠意，但K歌的編曲都係好求其。"How Deep Is Your Love"原本出現在電影《週未狂熱》之中，拿那的版本其實更好聽，更具有流行的元素，就如木匠翻唱別人的歌，搞出來的成品總比原作豐富，或者令原唱聽起來像demo。&lt;br /&gt;香港近年翻唱失敗的例子有張學友翻唱Beyond的《情人》，但林憶蓮早期的翻唱卻唱出另一種味道。這和歌者聲線的感染力有關，證明不是有教科書式唱功便成事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ash "Shining Light"&lt;br /&gt;灰燼是二線樂隊，但這首簡單爽快的情歌卻是心頭好。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pulp "Something Changed"&lt;br /&gt;鏗鏘的結他，流暢的旋律，在以病態prying eye看世界的&lt;em&gt;Different Class&lt;/em&gt;大碟中，這是一首突出的歌曲。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Savage Gargen "Truly, Madly, Deeply"&lt;br /&gt;Darren Hayes的一副好嗓子，唱出《真地狂地深地》這首九十年代我最喜愛的情歌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arctic Monkeys "Baby, I Am Yours"&lt;br /&gt;燥動的黃毛小子北極猴子怎麼唱出這樣簡單動人的情歌？這首翻唱作品讓人一聽便喜歡到不得了，成為近半年playlist必備曲目之一。尚未能找到在《麥迪遜之橋》中由Barbara Lewis主唱的版本。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radiohead "Fake Plastic Tree"&lt;br /&gt;消費主義社會下一闕傷感的情歌。If I could BE who you wanted/If I could BE who you wanted/All the time/ all the time/ ohhh... ohh...分崩離析、疏離冷漠，一絲在世界潮流之中沒頂的微弱愛的呼聲。Thom Yorke在錄音室唱完這歌後，崩潰地哭。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rialto "Milk of Amnesia"&lt;br /&gt;九十年代Britpop尾聲的一股浪漫風暴。 這首尾曲肯是遺珠之作。超塵出世讓人聽得出神。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suede "This Time"&lt;br /&gt;B-side作品，Brett Anderson筆下一貫的都市景觀，冬天的灰濛濛，車輛碰撞的塵滾滾，hear the city sounds/see the lonely crowd/in the lazy sun/we're the only one。另一首B-side "Europe is our playground"可說延伸之作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diana Krall "Let's Fall In Love"&lt;br /&gt;Rod Stewart最近翻唱此曲，感覺像強姦了這首歌，拜託。"Let's Fall In Love"在1954的電影&lt;em&gt;It Should happen To You&lt;/em&gt;出現，伴著Judy Holliday的Jack Lemmon即興自彈自唱，窮小子興奮、愉悅，十分滿足的笑容，和歌曲很配；Diana Krall的版本更refined，陽剛味爆燈的Rod Stewart和此歌的delicate感覺完全out of tune。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dooley Wilson (in the film &lt;em&gt;Casablanca&lt;/em&gt;) "As Time Goes By"&lt;br /&gt;The fundamental thing apply/as time goes by，愛情的本質，歷千萬年而不變，發生了的事情，連上帝也不能抹去。凡望成仙，仙亦思凡，塵世永遠都歡迎有情的人。《北非諜影》中保嘉和褒曼不能有情人成眷屬，但原來亂世兒女，除了愛情，情與義，都可以值千金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doris Day&lt;br /&gt;"Dansero"&lt;br /&gt;"Por Favor"&lt;br /&gt;酒和歌一樣，都是舊的醇。&lt;br /&gt;一代歌后Doris Day是我心目中最靚聲的diva，清澈優雅的聲線，唱出迷醉微醺的感覺。"Dansero"和"Por Favor"是燈下伴舞極之mellow的選擇。"Again", "Bewitched", "My Young and Foolish Heart", "My dreams are getting better all the time", "Move over darling", "Confess"(duet with Buddy Clark), "Love Somebody" (duet with Buddy Clark)等等等，在Doris的演繹下，都變成流行的極品。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fred Astaire "Cheek to Cheek"&lt;br /&gt;出現在電影&lt;em&gt;Top Hat&lt;/em&gt;由Irving Berlin創作的歌曲，翻唱無數，Heaven/I'm in heaven/And my heart beats so that I can't speak/And I seem to find the happiness I seek/When were out together dancing cheek to cheek....Fred Astaire 原唱，未經remaster的拆聲版本最原汁原味。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nat King Cole "For Sentimental Reasons"&lt;br /&gt;歌名已經好靚。I love you/for sentimental reason/I hope you will believe me/I'll give you my heart....揀了Nat King Cole的版本，definitive American standard。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silje Nergaard "Let there be love"&lt;br /&gt;揀了挪威女爵士歌手Silje Nergaard 的版本。唱pop jazz的Silje Nergaard將本已輕鬆躍動的一首jazz standard演繹得更清新、更少女。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let there be you,&lt;br /&gt;let there be me.&lt;br /&gt;Let there be oysters,&lt;br /&gt;under the sea.&lt;br /&gt;Let there be wind,&lt;br /&gt;and acationel rain.&lt;br /&gt;chilli concarnie,&lt;br /&gt;sparkling champagne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let there be birds,&lt;br /&gt;that sing in the trees.&lt;br /&gt;Someone to bless me,&lt;br /&gt;whenever I sneeze.&lt;br /&gt;Let there be cool-cools&lt;br /&gt;a lark and a dawn.&lt;br /&gt;But first of all:&lt;br /&gt;Please, let there be love.&lt;br /&gt;Ohh, love.Ahh,

type='text'>I chose not to choose life: A rush of heroin to the blood</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Trainspotting&lt;/em&gt;，Irvine Welsh在1993發表的第一本小說，以蘇格蘭愛丁堡濃厚的工人階級口語寫成。粗口橫飛，應該被禁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;題材：海洛英，禁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;說這些很掃興了，事實是&lt;em&gt;Trainspotting&lt;/em&gt;出版後一紙風行，打入Booker Prize最後十強。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trainspotting，即是同胞所謂的「猜火車」，唔知猜乜Q。在英格蘭和蘇格蘭，一些男人無所事事，在火車站記錄火車入站和離站的時間，不能說他們一事無成，但行為本身沒有意義，為之trainspotting。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1996年的同名電影(迷幻列車)沒有任何角色進行trainspotting的場景，原著小說倒有所指涉。小說末段有一節題為'Trainspotting at Leith Central Station'，文中出現了trainspotting一字。 &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RdCk9LECBaI/AAAAAAAAALI/r6xh9is-f40/s1600-h/Trainspotting.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5030702154621519266" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px

/&gt;暴力狂Begbie和主角Renton在火車站遇到一老頭，老頭問：o靚仔，在猜火車呀，o下？(What yis up tae lads? Trainspottin, eh?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o下o下要爆人樽的Begbie竟顯得沒聲沒氣，不見了平日那個事事要充的自大狂，Renton發現，老頭是他老豆。話口未完，Begbie見到另一個倒霉友，兜野打埋塊面到，條友即時仆街。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這樣一本小說，說的是流氓爛仔的故事，不可能沒有粗口，在'Trainspotting at Leith Central Station' 這節短篇求其抽一段對話看看，幾乎沒有一句沒有粗口，而且幾乎全本小說均是如此。&lt;br /&gt;Bebgie pull us aside n droaps his voice&lt;br /&gt;－Ye ken thit Tommy's &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;fuckin&lt;/span&gt; sick?&lt;br /&gt;－Aye.

It's every &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;cunt's&lt;/span&gt; ain &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;fuckin&lt;/span&gt; life. Ah &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;fuckin&lt;/span&gt; telt that tae Second Prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;小說的背景設在八十年代的英國，戴卓爾夫人主政的年代。戴卓爾夫人奉行佛利民的自由市場經濟政策，打倒工會，把國企私有化，開放競爭，為倫敦實行金融大改革，而這個稱為1986年的Big Bang，為英國帶來廿年經濟繁榮，倫敦成為全球第一金融中心兼富豪天堂。代價是社會貧富懸殊加劇，戴卓爾夫人在一片咒罵聲中下台。&lt;em&gt;Trainspotting&lt;/em&gt;小說不只一次出現以戴卓爾為揶揄、挖諷對象的性愛場景。Irvine Welsh自己便說'As British society changed under the (Margaret) Thatcher '80s, drugs and drink became less recreational and more a way of life because people had fuck all else to do.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;《經濟學人》上期的英國專題報道，指出英國現時的經濟重心圍繞倫敦的金融業發展，全國收入不均的嚴重程度僅次於美國，好像年青人不到南部投身金融相關行業，便注定要乞米。Shite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got heroin? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;不用服一劑海洛英，也知道&lt;em&gt;Trainspotting&lt;/em&gt;電影於1996年上畫後，Renton這一段'Choose Life' speech成為英國經典台詞的原因。伴隨David Bowie, Joy Division, the Pogues, Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground, The Smiths而且特別是Iggy Pop而來帶著一雙迷幻反白眼的Rave culture， 蔓延至每一角落。十七年的保守黨執政，造就了一個由倫敦證券交易所築起的金錢天梯，泰晤士河畔以高樓連成的skyline比紐約的還要眩目，但另一邊廂，社會的磐石底下卻滋生一層無助、無所事事、拿救濟金揮霍的小流氓地衣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Irvine Welsh捕捉了英國在八十年代戴卓爾主政期間的年青文化和生態，小說比電影好看十倍。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32276771-2939880927441350692?l=popscenehk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://popscenehk.blogspot.com/feeds/2939880927441350692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32276771&amp;postID=2939880927441350692' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32276771/posts/default/2939880927441350692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32276771/posts/default/2939880927441350692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://popscenehk.blogspot.com/2007/02/i-chose-not-to-choose-life.html' title='I chose not to choose life: A rush of heroin to the blood'/><author><name>Citizen L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07111758090197538352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RdCk9LECBaI/AAAAAAAAALI/r6xh9is-f40/s72-c/Trainspotting.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32276771.post-4258139863263783809</id><published>2007-02-08T21:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-09T21:10:06.529+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='society'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reading'/><title type='text'>《經濟學人》的有骨文章</title><content type='html'>今期《經濟學人》刊登一篇有骨文章，題為"Stardust memories: Hong Kong's preservation "，隔著半個地球，冷冷地品評香港人保護天星碼頭、捍衛「集體回憶」的「社會運動」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;副題已經不客氣：An &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;architecturally ruthless&lt;/span&gt; city is now wanting some of it past back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先是對香港這個城不客氣。開篇談及皇后碼頭，文章說：For a city that has &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;felt few qualms about destroying innumerable lovely colonial structures&lt;/span&gt;, it is an odd one to preserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然後一箭雙鵰，連天星碼頭也一併不客氣地評頭品足：...[the defenders] have been roused by the destruction in December of the adjacent Star Ferry terminal, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;another&lt;/span&gt;

I'm sorry I couldn't give them to you"；幾十年過去，Newland一直未忘Olenska，May原來是知道的，在臨終時，她才開口說一直曉得二人的情事。Responsibility is the word，兩個美好的家庭維繫下來，摧毀的是刻骨銘心的愛情。Robert一直遵守Francesca的請求，終其一生沒有再找她；Newland Archer在May死後才遠赴法國尋Olenska，卻因不忍破壞年青美好的回憶，最終也沒有找她.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;李天命《哲道行者》：&lt;br /&gt;最刻骨銘心的愛情必包含「至愛」、「隱蔽」和「衝突」這三大元素。&lt;br /&gt;活過，愛過，春青過.......不枉此生，藏於永恒。&lt;br /&gt;深情者，即使獨行，仍是同行。&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;或者說，《戀愛夢遊中》整齣戲是一個情緒和感覺的合集，又或者說：一團糟。但這個一團糟，正是主角Stéphane內心最如實的反映。在月曆印刷公司工作的Stéphane，生活悶出個鳥來，導演 Michel Gondry(Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2004)透過夢境的媒介，把孤獨又帶點小器的Stéphane還原到孩童貪玩的狀態。他對新搬來的鄰居Stéphanie萌生情愫，但天生藝術家的Stéphane怕羞，唯有在夢中才能靠近心儀的對象。現實的種種規限、界線，讓路給輕鬆、傻更更、天馬行空而且也很bitter-sweet的戀愛想像。 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img

Sunshine)，格局和幾年前看的《潮女私房菜》(Pieces of April)大同小異，都是一家各有性格的人，因為一個緣故，同乘一車踏上一段多事又擾攘的旅程。至今我仍記得飾演煙不離手阿媽的女演員Patricia Clarkson，其次是飾「潮女」的Katie Holmes整火雞如何雞手鴨腳。《陽光小小姐》中的阿媽也是煙剷一名，還有一名吸毒阿爺、讀尼采的憤世少年、創業不成破產的中年父親、普魯斯特學者自殺不成的同性戀舅父和參選小小姐豆丁一名。人物組合確是花過心思，但兩片感覺大似，今次有點感動不來，也不喜歡結局的胡鬧，反而《潮》片結局的溫馨感卻是十分信手拈來，自然而動人。 &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

Carell飾，造型似伊朗總統內賈德。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;***&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a

Sleep)，對胃口得多。男主角Stéphane(Gael García Bernal飾)的現實與夢境(或者說幻想)交織在初頭還分得清楚，但中段講到那封攝門底的信原來是真有其事時，二者的界線一下子搞模糊了，這倒是電影成功之處。男主角演來神經質，白痴位最好笑，當中莫如他爬窗潛入女主角Stéphanie(Charlotte Gainsbourg飾)房中，想替她修理機械馬仔，卻撞正對方回家，他彷如小孩大叫一聲躍入床中。還有那部「一秒未來時光機」，以及末段二人一段神經兮兮的對話。電影的手作仔、模型、道具讓人目不暇給，但又像是孩童不完整、滿是瑕疵的勞作。整齣戲的感覺是嬉戲胡鬧中帶著成長苦澀的憂傷。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;電影《北非諜影》的故事有這麼一節：外表冷酷但內心熱情的堪富利保加(Humphrey Bogart)，在巴黎淪陷前夕和英格麗褒曼(Ingrid Bergman)有過一段浪漫的邂逅。褒曼的丈夫是反納粹領袖，以為丈夫已死，才被保加吸引住。二人在納粹入城當日短聚片刻，club-singer Sam便是在這時彈唱繞樑的《As Time Goes By》。褒曼原本約好和保加一同離開巴黎，但臨時得悉丈夫未死，撇下保加一個在火車站淋雨......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;保加在法屬的摩洛哥Casablanca擁有一間nightclub，冷峻的保加對褒曼不辭而別一直耿耿於懷，但一日褒曼和丈夫意外來臨，一直跟隨保加的Sam，聽到褒曼那句我見猶憐的經典台詞"Play it again, Sam"，再次唱出《As Time Goes By》：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must remember this,&lt;br /&gt;A kiss is just a kiss,&lt;br /&gt;a sigh is just a sigh.&lt;br /&gt;The fundamental things apply&lt;br /&gt;As time goes by......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;納粹在1941年6月14日開始佔領巴黎，在此之前，巴黎有些nightclub一直有著濃郁的美國爵士氣&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RaPCZRk-xgI/AAAAAAAAAIY/2rWGovhKb1Y/s1600-h/briggs2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;氛。在一次世界大戰之後，紐約出現由非洲黑人的藝術、文學、音樂和文化構成的「哈林文藝復興」，這些黑人爵士樂手、舞孃和藝術家於整個運動在三十年代中衰落後，發現有巴黎這個天堂尋夢園。法國對黑人原始主義這種獨立於西方影響的思想十分欣賞，二戰前巴黎的自由土壤最終能滋生出新形式的藝術。爵士名人如Arthur Briggs, Dexter Gordon, Benny Carter和舞蹈家Josephine Baker均是在如此的背景下抵達歐洲。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但隨著二戰前納粹在歐洲冒起，很多美國黑人都趕著回國。納粹的魔爪一伸展到巴黎，蓬勃的舞廳和夜生活立即成為首要的打擊目標，黑人和猶太人合作的拿手好戲──爵士樂──自是首當其衝。法國抵抗納粹入侵的一段歷史，是以歡樂喧鬧的爵士樂作為背景音樂。 &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RaPDZRk-xhI/AAAAAAAAAIg/XvcSXDT1Oo4/s1600-h/paris+nazi.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018069248803522066" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px

/&gt;新的舞廳、夜總會轉到地下發展，就像美國非法經營的酒吧，這些夜場所要不停轉換地點，行會員制，顧客要密碼出入，這種新形式的nightclub，便稱之為Discothèque，法文意即"record library"，唱片館。現場演出、公開地點的經營太危險，播放由美國而來最新爵士唱碟的Discothèque，很快成為形容同類夜總會的名詞。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1941年，一間地下酒吧Le Discothèque在Rue Huchette開業，專播爵士樂唱碟，為對抗納粹的戰士和普通市民帶來一點逃避現實的撫慰。Le Discothèque的裝潢簡陋，但一杯酒，一支歌，一班同道人，是世上唯一具有人情味的地方。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1944年納粹撤退，這些地下酒吧急不及待重見天日慶祝。彼岸的黑人樂手回來了，爵士樂和酒精的味道又再一次在自由的空氣中飄盪。新的巴黎浮泛著歡樂的聲音和願景，規模更大的舞蹈團在各處表演，這一波的黑人文化運動一直延續到六十年代。Discothèque的新場景和美國的酒精文化一經碰撞，Disco──的士高是以在二十世下半葉伊始宣告誕生。&lt;div

punk-funk，由電子跳舞音樂的節拍和punk-rock的樂器演奏和音樂結合而成，起源於七十年代後期的紐約和英倫，著名的有來自列斯的Gang of Four&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RaJhFhk-xdI/AAAAAAAAAH0/mJtss2-C6ms/s1600-h/_rapture.jpg"&gt;&lt;img

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;踏入廿一世紀，dance-rock呈強勢回歸之勢，The Killers, The Rapture, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party和Scissor Sisters均在商業上取得成功，但這股氣勢能持續多久，視乎這些樂隊之後的專輯能否玩出新花樣。The Killers的第二張大碟令很多樂迷失望，Franz Ferdinand在第二張專輯尋求轉型，The Rapture和Scissor Sisters算是繼續帶來驚喜。唱片公司若只懂重覆公式，dance-rock很快又會成過氣名詞。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Disco&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;至於Disco，則是一種更為流行、更容易接受的節拍音樂，由1977年尊達拉華達主演的電影《週末狂熱》(Saturday Night Fever)帶進文化主流，在全球各地沸騰。片中的音樂由Bee Gees包辦，是Bee Gees事業的轉捩點，三首單曲"How Deep Is Your Love", "Stayin' Alive", and "Night Fever"成為disco年代的經典。風潮所及，連The Rolling Stones,Rod Stewart和Queen等主要搖滾巨星都在音樂加入disco元素。到了七十年代末，瘋狂的disco熱退燒，至今已無以復加，但卻影響了後來hip-hop音樂的形成。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Discothèque&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Discothèque，發音為disko-tek，在法文指夜總會(nightclub)的一種，由唱片騎師(DJ)播放錄製好的音樂，而非由駐場樂隊現場演奏，也不是disco音樂誕生的地方。Discothèque一字最早約在1941年由"disc"和"bibliothèque"兩字合成，意即「唱片館」。Discothèque於巴黎在二次大戰時出現，播放美國爵士樂手的唱片。在今天這字和夜總會同義，至於"disco"，則是在六十年代美國對Discothèque的簡稱，指播放disco音樂的地方。&lt;div

/&gt;先介紹一下。子華和少年馬神均是香肛大學畢業生。子華在行內打滾多年，年近三十，事業完全無起色，做極散仔一名，係個種自己知自己衰但發奮唔起既類型，覺得可以係北韓勞動，係執到好籌，由於佢講野幾好笑，匿名成日叫佢轉行演藝界，搞棟篤笑，這裏暫稱子華。至於少年馬神，典型文科學生一名，咪書型，乖學生型，淆底型，容易受傷覺得好hurt型，笑話唔好笑型，非交際型，一畢業便到北韓勞動，從無出走意欲，至今已四年，「因為太悶」，染上賭馬惡習，和笑話老頭情同父子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於佳節當前，返工人數嚴重不足，我和子華用膳完畢，樓上本部組位置空無一人，一出電梯，極目只見肋手判官一人目露兇光，由好遠處好似動感死光咁射過黎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;肋手判官，最原本的花名為小新，因為名字有一「新」字。後來小新升做真正的高層，為談話小心起見，改為蠟筆，用了好一陣子，近幾個月改為肋骨，越見隱蔽，不久子華轉稱肋骨為辣手判官，很快便變成「肋手判官」，簡稱肋氏。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一個人的花名可以如此嬗遞，可見佢本身係話題人士。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;子華一埋位，肋氏便喝道：「你D野做完未？」肋氏不嬲中意大大聲叫人埋黎俾佢怒屌。但佢一向唔屌本組，予人愛護其直轄部組的感覺，所以肋氏此一呼喝，令人甚為愕然。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;子華只做左個頭，但當然答：「就黎做晒！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;肋氏再喝道：「D野幾時派俾你架！？」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;子華開始低聲道：「．．．六點幾。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「而家幾點呀！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;時鐘顯示八點半有多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「六點幾派俾你D野仲未做晒，可以炒得囉喎。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;肋氏既口頭禪係「炒Q你」，我地都聽到麻木晒，但從未見佢炒過一個，佢最中意懶型咁撻你一句：「炒Q你丫拿！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不久，笑話老頭、少年馬神、禮貌、主任味之鬼丙、味之鬼丙的副主任「好朋友」麥兜娜陸續回來，肋氏召集這批咁o岩唔係放假既可憐蟲聽佢訓話。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;肋氏鳩o翕一輪，簡撮如下：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)唔好Dum波鐘，要快手做完手頭工作，仲恐嚇說「你識計我都識計」、「我會係評核如實咁寫」。 但咁只證明&lt;strong&gt;返遲半個鐘&lt;/strong&gt;既指令係多舊魚，而且，唔夠人返工就自己執下張假表，淨係識執散仔既假表，部組內中層差唔全部放晒假，又唔見佢執下，剩下禮貌呢隻勤勞命賤打不死既曱甴，慢工出細貨地慢慢改功課。everything happens for a reason，高層最叻乜都話係下面有問題，正一痔瘡生上腦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)重新分配食飯時間。底下原因係，佢六點開會開到七點，而我地&lt;strong&gt;有時&lt;/strong&gt;做到一半落去食飯，食一個鐘，結果八點多上到黎，做完一份&lt;strong&gt;有時&lt;/strong&gt;要九點幾（看功課份量而定），由於當日返工太少人，所以出現一份功課都冇的情況。佢要求全體六點食，七點上黎開工，即係以前&lt;strong&gt;分批食飯&lt;/strong&gt;既指令係多舊魚。但味之鬼丙和麥兜娜要分開時間食，因為要有個人睇場。而我地終於知道，雖然北韓訂明食飯時間係一個鐘，但全層冇人食足一個鐘，係我地錯，勞動人民果真夠敬業。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;翌日，肋氏仲夠膽死叫組內另一中層金兵mark低大家交功課既時間，金兵後來報告話睬佢都傻，佢自己都做到成隻積咁。當晚，冇人理會肋氏係六點食飯既指示，大家都做完一份功課先落去，味之鬼丙和麥兜娜飯都冇食，係辦公桌啃麵包，肋氏呢，一如以往落canteen同人鄰組談笑風生。收十二點既少年馬神放工後匯報話，肋氏當日未完成所有工作，便向味之鬼丙二人拋低一句「我好累，你搞埋D野佢」，然後鬆人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;奇怪，可能有D上司覺得士氣唔重要，開口埋口「炒Q你」，但既然金正日成日都出埋D恐嚇聖諭，公司文化係咁，又唔駛大驚小怪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;做高層，十幾皮一個月，得閒請大家食下蛋糕，唔順意就搵D茂利黎屌，又可以做高層色魔，多麼的令人嚮往啊！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

Armstrong這般傳奇樂手，年青人以The Charleston, One Step and Black Bottom的新式舞步伴著隨意搖擺的節奏，跳至累死方休；汽車、電話、航空的現代科技進入大眾的生活；裝置藝術(Art Deco)入侵設計和建築的領域；文學上以F. S. Fitzgerald為代表，以《大亨小傳》(The Great Gatsby)濃縮地概括了享樂、頹廢和個人主義的時代特色，"The Jazz Age"一詞由他而來；電影上，成千上萬上戲院的人促成了荷里活和荷里活明星的誕生，見證由差利的默片過渡到令不少明星失業的有聲片(talkie)。這股熱鬧、瘋狂、享樂、反叛的後一戰時代氣氛，隨1929年華爾街股災而終結。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

Stiller)安排下，拍攝了一輯宣傳硬照，為的是「展現嘉寶運動型、親切、青春的一面」，算是和美國觀眾打個招呼。那本黑白圖集選了一張嘉寶在跑道起跑線預備的相片，嘉寶在陽光下的笑靨，輕易地讓青春的純真和歡樂凝定成永恒。之後，荷里活的劇本將不容許嘉寶再展現如斯樸拙而輕快的一面，連串電影讓嘉寶哀傷、深邃的一張臉成為的象徵荷里活黃金年代一烙永不遜色的標記。 優雅、神秘、冷漠的嘉寶，是荷里活史上最美的女人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RYuh0DCMt0I/AAAAAAAAAGU/Z4rc2igYMPg/s1600-h/grandhotel.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1932年的《大飯店》(Grand Hotel)是眾星拱照嘉寶的一齣賣&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RYuj_TCMt5I/AAAAAAAAAHM/xpzTqhbYbRw/s1600-h/grandhotel.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011279318216390546" style="FLOAT: right;

go, nothing ever happens" 是電影片頭片尾一再強調的主旨。不同人物在同一家酒店內串連起來的一個大故事，紅塵三千裏緣來緣去的一個小縮影。嘉寶神秘一生的註腳："I want to be alone"也在此片出現，不過口音低沉帶異國風韻的嘉寶澄清，自己從來沒說過"I want to be alone"，而只是"I want to be &lt;em&gt;left&lt;/em&gt; alone"。她飾演的舞蹈演員直如她作為荷李活大明星的寫照，她和在酒店出沒的大竊匪約翰巴里摩亞(John Barrymore)的一段霧水姻緣，就像現實中她與男星約翰基爾拔(John Gilbert)的情愫似有還無。傳說嘉寶曾差一點就和他私奔，卻在最後一刻自火車站奔回家。嘉寶的性向一直是話題。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RYui7jCMt3I/AAAAAAAAAGs/ln_oheMYJA4/s1600-h/garbo2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a

Davis)這般超級明星都極仰慕她的才華。1941年的她在《雙面女人》(Two-faced Woman)演出，是唯一票房大敗的片子，她也開始越來越挑戲，之後索性收山，說「戰後的世界很不同了」，半世紀過著歸隱般的生活。她終生未嫁，偶爾在紐約街頭出現，認得出她的人都細聲說「嗨，那不就是大明星嘉寶嗎？」往往引起一陣靜默的騷動。"People come, people go, nothing ever happens"，也許就是嘉寶命運舒開來一折早已編好的劇本。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Beatles和Michael Jackson都曾經以漫畫人物的形象出現，但要到1999年Gorillaz的誕生，人們才開了眼界，原來虛擬動畫樂隊也可以舉行巡迴世界tour。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這要由早於95年停刊的&lt;em&gt;Deadline&lt;/em&gt;雜誌說起。&lt;em&gt;Deadline&lt;/em&gt;在88年創刊，刊載不同漫畫家的作品，其中一人是Jamie Hewlett，其代表作是Tank Girl，講述一名駕坦克車的punk女的故事。Tank Girl成為&lt;em&gt;Deadline&lt;/em&gt;的招牌，引起主流媒體的注意。到了92年，Jamie已是英國漫畫界一員主將。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tank Girl的成功甚至吸引了史提芬史匹堡的眼球，最後由美高梅(MGM)搶得電影版權，拍成&lt;a href="http://www.mgm.com/title_title.do?title_star=TANKGIRL"&gt;同名電影&lt;/a&gt;，但口碑同票均強差人意。Jamie在90年代亦有和一些樂隊合作，設計唱片的封面，較惹人注目的，是為Pulp的"Common People"繪畫宣傳品，據歌曲內容創作漫畫版本。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RYq12DCMtvI/AAAAAAAAAFU/00-T-aiISaA/s1600-h/Gorillaz_DemonDays.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011017475535189746" style="FLOAT:

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Deadline&lt;/em&gt;在96年停刊，Jamie轉為在廣告及電視方面發展，包括為英國時裝雜誌&lt;em&gt;The Face&lt;/em&gt;創作漫畫故事，維持了一年，因編輯換人而中止。正是這時，Jamie和曾是樂隊Elastica成員的Jane Olliver分手，Damon Albarn又同Elastica的主音Justine Frischman甩拖，兩個男人搬到一起住，萌起創造Gorillaz的意念。二人分工不用多說，Damon負責音樂，Jamie負責漫畫人物，也就是Murdoc, 2D, Russel和Noodle。後來的故事，大家都熟悉不過。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gorillaz第一張single在2000年推出，同名處女大碟翌年上市，在大西洋兩岸大熱，事隔四年，當&lt;em&gt;Demon Days&lt;/em&gt;大碟推出時，Gorillaz的現場演出已由二維投影，進展到利用類全像攝影的技術 ，在歐洲MTV Music Awards和Grammy Awards以三維的飽滿影像呈現在觀眾眼前。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2003年Beyond廿週年演唱會，也出現過虛擬的家駒，但效果朦朧，不夠震撼，而且重點是重現已逝者，技術上可能有困難。Gorlliaz的現場演出則只要技術許可，便可自由發揮，出來的效果令人振奮，頗有新時代已到臨的況味。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今年5月，Jamie Hewlett獲英國Design Museum選為Designer of the Year。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ncw2jsoi8I"&gt;Gorillaz performing "Clint

1979)出現了"Graphomania"一詞，米蘭昆德拉作出了一個預言。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「書寫癖」Graphomania，不是熱切於寫信件、私人日記或家族紀事，not a mania to write letters, personal diaries, or family chronicles，而是一種寫作的狂熱，but a mania to write books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當社會的整體生活水準提高，人們可以進行不關生產的活動；當社會變成極度個人化，導致個人與個人之間的隔離；當國家之內的社會缺乏崩天塌地的轉變。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;廣泛的隔離滋生了書寫癖，General isolation breeds graphomania，蔓延的書寫癖又加劇了人際隔離，generalized graphomania in turn intensifies and worsens isolation. 媒體印刷從前讓人互相了解，但在書寫癖的世代，書寫蘊含相反的意思：人人被自己的語句包圍，everyone surrounded by his words彷如被鏡子包圍as by a wall of mirrors, 外間的聲音一點也漏不進來，which allows no voice to filter through from outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bannka, Bibi, Hugo和Tamina的書寫的分別，在於Bannka, Bibi和Hugo屬於被忽視、被遺忘的一群，他們渴望得到認同，被人記住，他們害怕被遺忘。Tamina害怕的，是遺忘了關於逝去丈夫的一切記憶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tamina流亡西歐，無論如何的堅持，她的記憶已經殘缺，她是昆德拉的一個化身，昆德拉出走法國，以斷續的段落紀錄往事，他認為對抗強權的艱苦奮鬥，The struggle of man against power, 是記憶對抗遺忘的掙扎，is the struggle of memory against forgetting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;書寫癖不同。我們書寫，The reason we write books ，是因為我們的子孫不會在意，is that our kids don't give a damn. 我們一頭裁進茫茫不知所以的世界，We turn to the anonymous world, 因為我們妻子不再聆聽我們絮絮的話語，because our wife stops up her ears when we talk to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;昆德拉碰過一個的士司機，他說：「寫作，對其他很多人帶來很大的好處。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;政客、的士司機、保母、情人、殺人者、盜賊、妓女、官員、醫生和病人紛紛染上書寫癖，The irresistible proliferation of graphomania among politicians, taxi drivers, childbearers, lovers, murderers, thieves, prostitutes, officials, doctors, and patients 讓我看到每一個人，毫不例外底下都是一個寫作者show me that everyone without exception bears a potential writer within them, 是以全人類都可昂首闊步走到街上大叫，so that the entire human species has good reason to go down into the streets and shout: 我們都是作家！ "We are all writers!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為每個人都難以接受在冷漠的世界默默無聞，最終淹埋，For everyone is pained by the thought of disappearing, unheard and unseen, into an indifferent universe, 而因為每個人都想，趁還有時間，and because of that everyone wants, while there is still time, 將自己化成綴滿字詞語句的無盡天幕，to turn himself into a universe of words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有一日（很快便會來到），One morning (and it will be soon), 當所有人醒來，when everyone wakes up 人人都變成作家as a writer, 拒絕聆聽和瞭解的時代便會來臨，the age of universal deafness and incomprehension will have arrived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當周圍充斥Bannka, Bibi和Hugo的影子，每個人都想抓住別人的耳朵，但同時掩住自己的耳朵。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當《時代》選出「你」作為2006的風雲人物，等如宣告昆德拉的預言成真。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一天，我在公司瘋狂睇別人的網誌／博客／部落格，吵鬧、喧嘩，我感到暈眩，淹沒在一片起泡的口水花。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;《時代》週刊自一九二七年起選年度「風雲人物」(Person of the Year)，傳統上選的除了是一個人，男人或女人，也可以是：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一堆人，如&lt;br /&gt;03年「美國士兵」、&lt;br /&gt;75年「美國女人」、&lt;br /&gt;66年「所有25歲以下人士」、&lt;br /&gt;60年「美國科學家」、&lt;br /&gt;56年「匈牙利自由戰士」&lt;br /&gt;50年「美國的韓戰戰士」等；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一舊野，如&lt;br /&gt;88年「瀕危的地球」&lt;br /&gt;82年「電腦」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;《時代》選舉的要旨是當選者不論好壞，最重要是在當年對世界的發展進程有最深遠的影響(〔The person of the year,〕for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一直最惹人爭論的，係乜東東應該當選，以及當選者是好人還是壞人，也有一種意見認為，當選者應該是一個人(an actual person)，而非抽象的一個符號。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實《時代》每年選風雲人物都頭痕，又要夠份量，又要估你唔到(除非幾乎一定當選的美國總統)，又唔可以太低手。2006年至今都未有突出人物，賽前估計，正路選擇應是金正日，但佢D導彈射唔到過去東京，同得把聲的伊朗總統內賈德都只是「局部地區性驟雨」，YouTube創辦人陳士駿同 Chad Hurley 都係大熱，但賽前已有人擔心當選會是「YouTube」，而非兩位仁兄。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;金正日選唔到有跡可尋。自一九七九年伊朗精神領袖高曼尼當選後，至今未有壞蛋當選。在此之前，《時代》都選過希特拉(1938)同史大林(1939,1942)，但《時代》當年選出高曼尼後，引起美國人反感，原因係高曼尼發動政變剷除英美扶植的巴列維政權，又俘虜美軍、攻佔美駐德黑蘭大使館，總統卡特因營救失敗下台，高曼尼登上《時代》封面後，很多美國人退訂雜誌，直接令《時代》編輯此後遵從隱惡揚善的選舉策略。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最明顯的例子是九一一後，拉登竟然落選。以《時代》選風雲人物的定義，當時紐約市長朱利亞尼無可能撼得過拉登，因為"the person of the year"不等如"the best human being of the year"，拉登在01年年底前已密集地上過三次封面，再選佢做風雲人物，實在十分合理，但前車可鑑，美國人，包括廣告商、《時代》的母公司時代華納實唔放過你。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果，今年的風雲人物由我有份奪得，《時代》將YouTube、MySpace、Blog同維基一網打盡，即係各創辦人同全世界互聯網用戶一齊分享這個「榮譽」，雖然《時代》一直強調「風雲人物」不是一種Honour，但實在只能夠說，《時代》今次的marketing策略要討好全世界，玩大包圍，帶有強烈的取巧成份，未必很多人受落。&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我同匿名日日研討轉工問題，一度將返去教書列入議程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;W說，教書斷六親，我們又何嘗不。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;似乎週邊很多人，做了一兩年都會諗轉工。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但其實你睇我好，我睇你好，跳入另一行，可能又係一次同樣的輪迴。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但人們是不會睇我們好的，外人聽落會覺得誇張，不止一次同舊同學講起返工時間，得到既反應係「嘩」同O起個死人嘴。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今日，收到「味之鬼丙」最後通牒，要返遲半個鐘，收遲半個鐘，即係收十一點半。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;真係火都黎埋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;十一點已經好遲，但大圍返呢個鐘數，唯有照跟。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;間廠又唔係開係旺角，日日三粒鐘來回車程，有D同事聽到又「嘩」同O嘴。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再遲收的話，車錢會貴，時間又會長左，等於扣人工，而個point係，留多半個鐘根本無野做，要做既，通常十一點前一定做晒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而收來的風話，高層「質問」點解十一點之後D人走晒，「冇人做野」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;呢D係高層既通病：盲，同屎忽痕。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;明明有幾個同事收十一點半，還有幾個高我們一級的同事，也零零落落收十一點、十二點同十二點半。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;所以唔明囉，要全世界一齊係公司度磨，D人好香咩？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果味之鬼丙被糟質完後，便來找我們算帳。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上月尾收到味之鬼丙最初通知時，我同匿名不予理會，繼續返兩點。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今日佢又來落order，咪傾囉，話要每日最少有兩人收十一點半，真係煩，乜Q都要夾。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;放假要夾，返工時間要夾，最衰係有時睇唔到冇咩必要，早前有另一無聊白痴兼弱智拿住雞毛當令箭既高層話，連食飯時間都要夾，原因一樣：點解食飯D人走晒，冇人做野架。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;霎時間，我看見佢光禿既地中海頭像塗了一抹油咁悠悠反映出on鳩兩隻大字，佢凸凸既肥大肚腩有一撮髦毛圍住肚池組成至膠既小丑神圖案。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;冇Point既要求，真係睬佢都傻，橫掂笑話老頭好緊張份工，我們幾個一於準時食飯。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;講開食飯，真係食飯都要勞氣，係咪仆街先？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;公司業績倒退，除左陰D陰D炒人， 一個月唔見一兩件，仲要係飯堂加價，食就冇得出街食架喇，但係飯堂食物質素十分一般，而且食律子雞，一定律子多過雞；食榨菜肉，一定榨菜多過肉；食薯仔炆排骨，一定薯仔多過骨，你冇睇錯，係骨，飯堂既排骨係冇肉既。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;食飯都食到一肚氣，真係發神經。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;若說商場名牌滿佈的Oxford Street是倫敦的愛富族天堂，那末市集充斥的Camden Town則展現&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RYFfuvmDYTI/AAAAAAAAAEo/wKWLnKas_yQ/s1600-h/camdentwon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img

Town是學生的朝聖地，滿街的歌德衣著，播金屬搖滾的店舖，還有rave culture、的士高和嬉皮士共冶一爐。Punk文化即發源於此，The Clash和Ramones這些傳奇punk rock樂隊當年便是頂著Camden光環在英倫發跡，Britpop樂隊如Blur、Suede和Elastica等都和這裏有過淵源。Camden Town是英國，也可能是世界搖滾和獨立音樂之鄉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cunts are still running the world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jarvis Cocker Solo大碟 hidden track，在05年Live 8表演之後有感而發寫成，據香港音樂人&lt;a href="http://ol.mingpao.com/cfm/star19.cfm?File=20061112/saf01/vzl2.txt"&gt;亞里安&lt;/a&gt;所指，cunt乃淫婦，和Yahoo!字典解釋一樣。點解咁譯？大概因為文章在報章發表。Cunts係鬧人語，係香港等如鬧人粉皮或仆街。Jarvis批判的既是政客和大商家，如果一齊大合唱"Cunts are still running the world"係好有氣勢，但按亞里安所言，（若換成華語的場景）首歌要唱成「淫婦仍在統治世界」，似乎唔多夠盡興。「班仆街玩撚晒」應該o岩feel好多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Did you hear, there's a natural

1915-2006）剛於10日因心臟病去世，首都聖地牙哥紛紛有人上街慶祝，姑勿論其是非功過如何，作為二十世紀其中一個最響朵的獨裁者，皮諾切特肯定是當中一株奇芭。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;皮氏一九七三年在政變推翻總統阿連德上台，執政時間長達十七年，一直是拉丁美洲獨裁政權的象徵。要說他是死了要人民慶祝獨裁者，可先看他的成績表：他在任期間最少3,197人被殺，29,000人受酷刑，數字中三份二發生在那腥風血雨的一九七三年。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;再看看皮氏的前任阿連德。阿連德是馬克思主義者，其統治的智利是拉美史上最持久的民主政體，他竟然真的毛澤東上身，稱要帶領智利由民主之路通往社會主義這條奴役之路。阿連德的最大傑作是工業國有化，收歸美國的銅公司，兼且重新分配土地，到了七三年，即阿連德上任三年，智利已經通脹飆升，經濟疲弱，政治混亂，馬克思見到都想捐返入棺材。當時美國同蘇聯冷戰，尼克遜見到古巴已經頭痕，若古巴和智利上下組成「拉美赤紅三文治」，佢真係屎都唔駛痾。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;世人後來知道，尼克遜指使中情局（CIA）到智利踩場，為智利的經濟添煩添亂，搞埋D乜鬼貨車司機大罷工，即係我痾唔到屎你阿連德都唔駛訓。阿連德這粒聰明豆此時作了智利史上亦是佢生命中最錯誤既決定，就係向傳統上不沾手政治既軍隊尋求支持，皮諾切特多得佢提拔，升做陸軍總司領。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RX4NvVwM44I/AAAAAAAAAEE/6a9yQewVG4U/s1600-h/pinochet000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5007454942626898818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;皮諾切特不是推翻阿連德政變的主謀，但陸軍最大，冇佢唔成事。在美國支持下，皮氏同意發動政變。結果阿連德釘蓋，皮氏水鬼升城隍，一個唔該做埋總統。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;智利有長久的憲制政府和自由選舉歷史，軍人出身的皮諾切特個人最憎共產主義，但亦不相信所謂的正統民主。市場自由經濟對反共產的皮氏有無比的吸引力，他一直相信，通脹增加社會磨擦，同時助長左翼份子。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;於是，第一，皮諾切特對共產主義宣戰。智利共產黨是拉美最大和最有組織的共產黨，國內還有更大和更激進的社會黨，皮氏的目標便是摧毀他們，即使以高壓手段帶來國際社會譴責和隔離都在所不惜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第二，皮諾切特支持以佛利民（Milton Friedman, 1912-2006）為首的芝加哥經濟學派，到智利協助推行市場經濟。但除了共產主義支持者，皮氏還要面對軍隊內民族主義份子的阻力，他們反對開放智利市場引入國際競爭，令皮氏的鐵腕要一再伸展，將這班人也一網打盡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;擊倒共產主義，皮諾切特以無上權威實行市場經濟，代價是自此在國際舞台上以血鑄成了「大獨裁者」的形象。但他成&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;功將企業大量私有化，成功拖低通脹，令智利成為第一個由共產走向市場的國家。連列根都嘖嘖稱奇，說：「似乎佛利民一便口，某人（皮諾切特）便會洗耳恭聽。」（It seems when Milton Friedman talked, someone in Chile listened）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;皮諾切特犧牲智利一直享有民主自由，換取恢復短暫的經濟秩序（其任內在75-76年及82-83年出現嚴重衰退），把智利塑造成極權但享有經濟自由的國家，西方社會難免為智利凋謝的民主扼腕惋惜，皮諾切特是一代梟雄，也是二十世紀品種最特殊的一個獨裁者。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;來自英國的搖滾樂手，吸收了大西洋彼岸的搖滾音樂精髓，重新塑造一股搖擺的樂與怒風&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RXuMYVwM4yI/AAAAAAAAAC8/sPYvDA0VoEg/s1600-h/swinging+london.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5006749760536503074" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;潮，一舉登陸及征服美國。經典的第一波Invasion出現在1964-1966年。The Beatles在64年2月抵達紐約，亮相著名的Ed Sullivan騷，將英倫搖滾帶進美國這個全球最商業化的市場。The Rolling Stones、The Who、The Yardbirds、The Pretty Things、The Kinks等紛紛抵疊，Dusty Springfield更以白人騷靈女歌手的姿態懾服歌迷。1966年4月號的《時代》週刊，便以"London: The Swinging City"為封面故事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;倫敦的Swinging Sixties是一場以年青、新銳和現代為主題的文化革命。英國從二戰後五十年代的經濟陰影走出，展現出一片樂觀和享樂主義，體現在諸如The Beatles、占士邦、Mini-Cooper、迷你裙等音樂、時裝和潮流的icon上，不分階級、擁抱自由和未來、處處流露個人態度的年青文化，以米字旗為象徵，構成了六十年代最矚目的一個場景。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;第二輪的British Invasion要等到八十年代，新興的MTV將Duran Duran、Eurythmics、Depeche Mode、Pet Shop Boys、The Cure及New Order等英國音樂以更具觸覺的影像送到美國觀眾眼前。這一輪Invasion的高峯在83-85年，美國Billboard Hot 100一度有超過一半由外國樂手佔去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;九十年代的Britpop是第一代British Invasion 風格上的延續，但除了Oasis、Elastica、Radiohead及Blur等少數能打進美國市場外，整個風潮均未能引起彼岸注意。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;補白：1996年的Brit Award上，大會邀得米高積遜表演，Pulp主音Jarvis Cocker不滿其自視為「能施神蹟的救世&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RXxNM1wM4zI/AAAAAAAAADM/gbf8mvLLCG4/s1600-h/Jarvis-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;者」，因而上台「突襲」，Oasis大腦Noel Gallagher表示同意並稱Jarvis應獲頒MBE，引起英國媒體一陣炒作喧鬧，整件事亦以"invasion"稱之。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM7yP-h_2a4/RXxOQ1wM40I/AAAAAAAAADY/NDyiL9CHXm4/s1600-h/Jarvis-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img

rock音樂，也可用來形容一般的搖滾樂。另類搖滾的歌詞多指涉社會狀況，例如濫藥、頹廢、甚至環保主義，反映了當時年代的橫切面。最新成為主流icon的另類搖滾樂隊有來自蘇格蘭的Franz Ferdinand。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><title type='text'>耶和華姓耶，唔該晒</title><content type='html'>係二千幾年前，沒有internet，沒有Google，沒有維基百科，我們偉大的莊子已經說：吾生也有涯，而知也無涯，以有涯隨無涯，殆已。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;先說少少題外話。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於唔想撈既關係，我同匿名兩條友日日返公司正職上網，兼職斟水同去廁所，得閒先打一兩隻字。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上得最多既網，係英文維基，因為基本上搵乜都有，我睇左好英美樂隊同荷里活名星導演既資料，匿名就狂摷PSP打機既遊戲資料。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於本機冇得上網，上網機係公家機（北韓係保安大國，金正日條粉茂驚員工輕易地「洩露國家機密」，慌唔係做得虧心事多咩，挑），幾人用一部，我地霸住部機睇維基，放晒疊紙係面前扮搵資料（當然半個鐘有一分鐘係真係搵既），係人行過都照理正路應該以為我地搵緊工作上既資料。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英文維基唔係所有項目超級詳細，但如果一個個link咁跳黎睇，都可以消磨到一個下午。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於金正日出名係mean人（偏偏又以為待員工好好，吹脹）我會搵最detailed既維基項目print出來慢慢鑽研。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但擔心睇得多維基會盲，而且維基唔多有趣同唔夠貼身，我地轉移陣地，上「Yahoo!知識」發掘發掘。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;瀏覽左一輪勞工法例、求職之類的欄目後，我們找到了基督教這一欄。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;阿門。感謝上帝！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為，我們領略到人生其中一個真理──&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The span of our life is finite; the boundary of knowledge infinite. One must not pursue the infinite with the finite．&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問題：上帝姓什麼？姓基督？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;回答一：上帝佢係冇人姓的....（按：此為正確答案）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;回答二：耶穌唔係姓基督..我諗跟佢老豆姓掛...不過唔知。冇研究過&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;回答三：姓耶..不過唔係叫耶穌基督..同埋任何情況下都唔可以直呼上帝的名字&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;回答四：上帝據聖經寫是由 聖父..聖子..聖神所&lt;em&gt;組成&lt;/em&gt;，所以是3個&lt;em&gt;物件&lt;/em&gt;，不會有姓示〔氏〕&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;回答五：你都唔識佢，梗係唔知上帝姓乜啦&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只要用Google search一下，即可知道上帝的稱謂只可寫，不能讀，的確係表示不能直呼其名，上帝的稱謂源於希伯來語，「耶和華」、「耶威」或「雅威」只是輾轉相傳下來的音譯變體，所謂「上帝姓耶」，跟指出'My God'的First name是'My'一樣滑稽。Holy Shit！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「Yahoo!知識」擔著知識的旗號，實質卻和普通吹水論壇一個冇分別。完全唔明，香港好多網民在論壇問既野，其實都可以用Google搵到。在Yahoo!這個知識之海涵泳，完全有浪費光陰之嫌，即係只可以係公司赤裸裸咁進行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;等我都整個而家寫blog好懶係野既「延伸思考」先：足球比賽中，基督徒足球員可否以「假身」騙過對手？是否犯罪？&lt;br

/&gt;斑馬（都幾有禮貌地）：係咩？我係外面做野見過你？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;匿名：唔係。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;斑馬：我唔認得你。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;匿名之極速事敗，仿如蘆溝橋上的民軍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今期《經濟學人》刊出一篇論及Flirting的研究報告，講述為何在情場上，自己總會覺得不及對手有吸引力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國德州大學一份心理學家的研究指出，這是人類進化造成的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原因：無論男人或女人，在求偶過程中，都會變得加倍落力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;撰寫報告的希爾博士進行了一項實驗，她讓屬異性戀的男性和女性看一輯照片，然後為相中人評分。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;評分一：閣下認為和你同性的相中人對異性的吸引力指數。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;評分二：閣下認為相中異性有幾吸引。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果，比較兩項評分，得出：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一、男性高估了相中人對異性的吸引力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;二、女性亦一樣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;希爾博士一早已預計到這個結果，因為：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;人類，尤其是男性，若要判斷出錯，通常會找個代價最低的判斷來犯錯。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;女性可以印證這一點：男人通常把女性的善意誤解成對自己有意思。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實，當男人試圖去判斷女性是否對自己有意思時，有兩種判斷可以出錯：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一、眼前這位異性對自己冇意思，所以唔溝。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;二、眼前這位異性對自己有意思，所以溝，然後炒粉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從進化論的角度看，上前搭訕、溝佢、然後炒粉的代價幾近於零，除了會有點hurt。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但唔上前搭訕同試溝，即等如喪失散播DNA的一個機會。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然而女性判斷錯誤的原因卻相反，他們傾向低估男性對自己真係有意思的訊號，原因係一旦計錯數，他們可能成單親媽媽。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原來係咁。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>【本報訊】日前，笑話老頭風姿再現，但被一名路經女同事開聲擊潰，暫時未知佢認為自己傷勢如何，然而有同事覺得好好笑，但礙於禮儀，要強力忍笑，免去一宗辦公室血案。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事緣，笑話老頭貫徹講笑話作風，再度向好心女同事發功，說了一個起承轉合、排比對偶、雕花塑膠、天人合一既笑話，據同事覆述，該好心女同事一如既往，向笑話老頭投以知音般的鶯鶯笑聲，可惜天有不測之風雲，人有旦夕禍福，正當老頭洋洋得意、揮攦自如之際，冷不防另一名口直心快的已婚女同事突爆一句：「我覺得唔好笑喎。」據該不願透露姓名的同事憶述，笑話老頭當堂窒了一窒，剎那語塞，一腔急才不知丟到哪裏去了，而該同事眼尾望到好心女同事的笑容忽然有少許僵住，情況有點不尷不尬。這時笑話老頭倉促地、勉強露出笑容地、帶點頑固的堅持地放出一句：「真係好笑架。」企圖四兩撥千斤，借D意扭轉劣勢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這時口直心快女同事再度發炮，要求笑話老頭解釋和分析這個笑話為何好笑。於是笑話老頭以為危中有機，鼓起餘勇去解構這個笑話。本報記者曾多番追問「這個笑話」究竟是什麼笑話，唯該匿名同事以保安及根本冇人會記得笑話老頭講過乜野笑話為由，拒絕回答記者追問。匿名同事憶述，笑話老頭面對來勢沖沖的炮轟，顯得手忙腳亂，雞手鴨腳，顧得解釋，又顧不到分析，最後「好像」以爛尾終結。匿名同事強調「那個笑話」僅是而且只是「好像」爛尾，因為他根本無心機聽笑話老頭詳解笑話，對好心同事有否繼續俾反應亦表示沒有印象。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;據匿名同事和本報記者私下分析，笑話老頭未必會因為今次事件而信心受挫，或者留有陰影，影響到日後講笑話的風騷度和精靈度，但由於今次其笑話遭到正面而猛烈的攻擊，猶如被兜野捅左一刀，短期或會出現情緒波動，但由於事發後當事人有一日假放，短期影響還要進一步觀察才能浮現。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

/&gt;乙由一間行內中型機構毛遂自薦來這間行內號稱最大型機構（本機構由金正日開設，理論上一定係至大），聲稱要找尋「發展空間」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;佢之前係中型機構都叫主管一名，現家黎到北韓呢個大國，連職銜都冇。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;可能因為有口音關係，乙好像不願和同事交流，莽莽撞撞，開始時得罪晒全組人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為冇位佢坐（黎左四個月都冇，金正日食屎啦），佢會忽然坐左係閣下既位上，令你非常不好意思。（開頭唔知佢開邊瓣，係有點不尷不尬）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;佢中意同年紀有番咁上下既同事交流（佢同味之鬼甲好投契，果然臭味相投），對我地幾個散仔不瞅不睬。對女同事，都冇乜點理。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果，佢個花名叫做「禮貌」，全組一直沿用到而家。（用到我好驚真係稱呼左佢做，禮貌）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;呀禮貌，你好似用左我支筆．．．．&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;呀禮貌呀，你隻腳踩住我隻腳成個字喇，（佢聽唔到）sor！禮．．．唔係，乜生，你隻腳（提高八度）．．．．&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;禮貌當時最令人聞風喪膽既，係佢用完任何一位同事既檯，張檯就會好似俾颶風卡特里娜吹過一樣，而佢，係唔會執既。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;佢平時行過整瀉整跌你D野，佢會繼續行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;仲有，當電視做新聞響起國歌時，佢會一路做野，一路好有beat咁踩住涼鞋泵地。由於佢做野個樣太專注既關係，佢無意識起勢泵個樣好駭人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;禮貌，除左好冇禮貌之外，佢D衫褲鞋（佢唔著襪），係唔換既。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;到味之鬼甲走左，同事們忽然發覺，原來禮貌都可以勝任味之鬼一職。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為佢成身都有一陣味，口一陣味，身一陣味，但佢當然意識唔到。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;味之最高境界，唔係味隨人至，而係你行過佢身邊，彷如進入一道「味場」（一如磁場、氣場）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;禮貌冇禮貌，我地開始都唔當一回事，因為佢個人其實冇乜野，只係有點社交貧乏症，應該長年都唔會好，但我衷心希望（雖然可能性近乎零）佢唔好再有味。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為，佢今個月坐我隔離。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

暫時英國的評價不錯，《衛報》給了五粒星，畢竟Jarvis的正式回歸的聲勢不俗，除了在「暫休」期間和Radiohead兩名成員參與哈利波特電影演出和製作soundtrack外，他亦有和Pulp的後期客串結他手Richard Hawley以Relaxed Muscle名義做音樂，又替Nancy Sinatra寫歌 （&lt;em&gt;Jarvis&lt;/em&gt;內有Jarvis的版本）。Uncut和NME近期都有他的專訪，舊公司Island更趁勢推出Pulp的三張巔峰大碟（按Uncut的說法，&lt;em&gt;His 'n' hers&lt;/em&gt;、&lt;em&gt;Different Class&lt;/em&gt; 和&lt;em&gt;This is Hardcore&lt;/em&gt;是一輯"Britpop trilogy"，為九十年代英國提供了一張紀錄時代的soundtrack，&lt;em&gt;This is Hardcore&lt;/em&gt;更被視為整個Britpop浪潮的swan song）豪裝版，加錄一堆B-side和demo（Pulp在二００二年才解散，這時推出好像早了點）。更有趣的是，在訪問中提及有幾十年歷史的英國版勁歌金曲Top Of The Pops剛於八月摺埋時，Jarvis說覺得自己已經像史前的恐龍了（別忘Jarvis曾說過一日不上TOTP，一日不算事業成功的名言，可說不無唏噓），但一向潮爆的Jarvis已經在MySpace開了一account！上面有最新的作品"Running the world"（who?CUNTS!!）供全球fans下載。難道是受同是來自Sheffield的Arctic Monkeys所啟發？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;作為英國近廿年最睿智、最具批判性的詞人之一，Jarvis的回歸以其拿手的socialist筆觸，配合熱爆全球的MySpace在網上免費發放"Running the world"（果然貫切socialist本色），還有是Pulp的最後一張大碟&lt;em&gt;We Love Life&lt;/em&gt;確是一張昇華之作（商業上不及前三張成功） ，令人對Jarvis的個人大碟有殷切的期待。&lt;em&gt;We Love Life&lt;/em&gt;最後一首歌"Sunrise"，現在回看充滿Jarvis早晚會回航的先兆，那種由音樂鋪排引發出來的躁動，充滿日出前一刻的不安，由緩轉急，果然是餘音未了的預告！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jarvis&lt;/em&gt;　Track listing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"The Loss Adjuster (Excerpt 1)"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Don't Let Him Waste Your Time" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Black Magic"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Heavy Weather" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"I Will Kill Again" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Baby's Coming Back to Me" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Fat

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;仲有一種，係空氣污染，講清楚D，係「氣味污染」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;腳臭，死未。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;公司乜人都有，有各類少女中女之餘，麻甩都有一大堆。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一名已調走的麻甩（以下簡稱甲），四十多五十歲（真正年紀不詳，亦冇人想知），據聞已婚，膝下無兒，工作吞port，平日目光游移──佢唔係瞥伯，而係望緊有冇人啤住佢。但佢識得老闆娘，你吹咩，唔做野都年年有人工加。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;除了工作態度一流劣之外，腳踏一對涼鞋既佢，腳臭亦係一等一既地獄。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（我要申訴，公司開放式間隔害了好多人）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;已經對口對面，鬚又生到一支支，當異味由檯底隨時殺過黎時，真係獵犬都避唔切。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;係咪真係要係你面前成個暈低先得呀？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;受害同事做野大受影響，要成個身打側坐，真係懷疑周圍D盤栽已經榭左同埋被染黃。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實，公司已經有唔少麻甩去廁所對住個尿兜亂射，又唔洗手，重視衛生的同事都會用廁紙包住門柄開門。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而甲，當然係去放水都瀟洒過人，但咁仲不特止，我親眼目擊有一次佢唔洗手就離開廁所，然後施施然一個屈尾十──&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;入pantry斟水。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我眼睜睜睇住甲既移動路線，真係從心坎由衷咁屌左一聲出黎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我相信佢係唔識肚痛既，亦相信佢手部皮膚既新陳代謝，係你開水喉準備洗手既一刻又已經完成左一次。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（一）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;搞爛gag都算喇，但若果有條友講既笑話唔好笑，但又不時高調「講笑話」（記住講笑話同搞gag有點唔同），係可以好大鑊的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而佢又覺得自己的笑話好笑，講完一副「好有計」既樣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最弊係，一位好心女同事，會好用心機聽，然後俾反應佢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果佢個樣愈來愈精靈。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;冇人覺得佢兩個有野，畢竟一個邁入耳順之年，一個係已婚少婦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實都冇乜好怪，只怪公司開放式間隔，大聲少少人人都聽得晒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;於是，佢有時又會喬裝（順便）同對面同事搞笑，但係人都見到佢既目標係逗個女同事笑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果女同事一笑，佢又一副精靈得米的樣子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只怪公司開放式間隔，佢成日俾人見到佢呢個樣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;開放式間隔既唔好處，就係你做乜野，周圍同事甚至行過既阿嬸，都可能咁岩碰到閣下做緊D唔係工作既野。（我相信公司係專登既）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我怪既，係佢會不時好懶唔覺意咁「放」隻手指入鼻，全神貫注望住個芒，一邊開礦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這時，我心裏響起一首旋律，一首Bee Gees既歌：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started a joke,&lt;br /&gt;which started the whole world crying,&lt;br /&gt;But I

handsome men. Women look for men who have had beautiful women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every love relationship rests on an unwritten agreement unthinkingly concluded by the lovers in the first weeks of their love. They are still in a kind of dream but at the same time, without knowing it, are drawing up, like uncompromising lawyers, the detailed clauses of their contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only her husband had kept asking her questions, because love is a continual interrogation. I don't know of a better definition of love. In that case, my friend Hubl would have pointed out to me, no one loves us more than the police. That's true. Just as every height has its symmetrical depth, so love's interest has as its negative the police's curiosity. We sometimes confuse depth with height, and I can easily imagine lonely people hoping to be taken to the police station from time to time for an interrogation that will enable them to talk about themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is a privilege, and all privileges are undeserved and must be paid for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;em&gt;The Book of Laughter and Forgetting&lt;/em&gt;, Milan Kundera&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32276771-116318202449378746?l=popscenehk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://popscenehk.blogspot.com/feeds/116318202449378746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32276771&amp;postID=116318202449378746' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32276771/posts/default/116318202449378746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32276771/posts/default/116318202449378746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://popscenehk.blogspot.com/2006/11/little-piece-of-secret.html' title='A little piece of secret'/><author><name>Citizen L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07111758090197538352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
