WTF r u singing??

Franz Ferdinand D歌詞，大部份來說，都很垃圾，例如"Take me out"個句"I am just a crosshair/I am just a shot away from you"，簡直係奇峰凸出語驚人，而家終於有人替天行道，幫佢地第二張碟第二隻single "The Fallen"整左個misheard lyrics video，爆笑程度同本身歌詞本身無厘頭程度不相伯仲：

Travis

以前成日覺得Travis好悶，唔夠刺激，但原來一早訓醒，係陽光之下攤係張床到聽，又或者落街食早餐聽，都係好正架！

最新大熱：Closer




最中意係呢隻：Flowers in the windows

Version 2.0

Arctic Monkey隻新碟Favourite Worst Nightmare，好聽，但需要點時間消化。可是今次D歌詞唔知up乜，有點不知所措。

Teddy Picker


"Brainstorm" (first single) :


佢地真係好cute。我中意以前個肥仔貝斯手Andy Nicholson 多D。 以下呢隻"A certain Romance"（來自上一張碟最後一cut），歌詞、音樂同現場一樣咁正。


Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here
Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

觀影

終於看了由馬田史高西斯(Martin Scorsese)執導的的The Age of Innocence(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。

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。

宇宙自由行

《星際快閃黨》(The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/HHGTTG)，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。

戲中十分有趣的「憂鬱機械人」Marvin, the Paranoid 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. HHGTTG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。

we live in a beautiful world/yeah we do, yeah we do/we live in a beautiful world/oh all that I know/there's nothing here to run from/'cos yeah everybody here's got somebody to lean on...

說到明向Douglas Adams致敬的《星際快閃黨》電影，難免滲進荷里活公式橋段。戲的特技眩目，色彩鮮明，怪招百出，看時賞心悅目，只是前段的節奏較慢。主角Arthur 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。

'cos yeah everybody here's got somebody to lean on...

Frente!

近日，無線宣傳廣告(原來是勁歌金曲優秀選)採用了澳洲流行樂隊Frente!多年前舊作"Accidentally Kelly Street"，聽來耳目一新，看來這支早於90年代中拆夥、 又於近年復出的pop rock組合，其歌曲總算歷久彌新。首本名作，當然是唱到街知巷聞的"Bizarre Love Triangle"（New Order原作的acoustic cover）啦。而佢地第一張大碟Marvin the Album，都仲經常可以係HMV見到，同其他大band的推薦作品擺埋一齊。
