夢奇地

有的時候，會覺得非常非常孤單。試著在網路上尋找什麼，卻只更添寂寞。也許就像攀岩一樣。當我使勁向上爬的時候，有沒有可能，背包裡的東西也掉出了不少呢。

The most serene republic- 繼Arcade fire, Broken Social Scene之後，又一超讚加拿大樂團

 

When I feel depressed, I listen. Like a song of 1976: ...而沒來由的躁鬱又開始，打算侵蝕我的一天，搖滾樂快點救救我..." Yes. Today I am saved by Cats on Fire and Broken Social Scene. Hats tip to Pulp and Pots.

I am really glad for them. And the speech by Marketa is touching. Work hard no matter how struggling you are, believe in dream bc it will come true.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Glen Hansard:
Thanks! This is amazing. What are we doing here? This is mad. We made this film two years ago. We shot on two Handycams. It took us three weeks to make. We made it for a hundred grand. We never thought we would come into a room like this and be in front of you people. It's been an amazing thing. Thanks for taking this film seriously, all of you. It means a lot to us. Thanks to the Academy, thanks to all the people who've helped us, they know who they are, we don't need to say them. This is amazing. Make art. Make art. Thanks.

Marketa Irglova:
Hi everyone. I just want to thank you so much. This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible. And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don't give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are. And so thank you so much, who helped us along way. Thank you.

 

日本搖滾算是我的啟蒙吧。高中的時候因為歐美正版CD很貴，而日本盜版CD便宜，開啟了我聽日本團的嗜好。也由於日本團許多是學英國團的，間接影響我熱愛英國團的口味。日本團中，我特別偏愛有可愛聲音女主唱+重口味背景的團，如judy and mary, the brilliant green, DAI, ...。今天無意聽到High and Mighty Color，勾起了我以上的回憶。而且，我發現他們的音樂還蠻多樣的。男女主唱的配置也很特別。 

 

Its about a year away for me to get out of here with a degree. Everyone is asking about my future preference. Whether I wanna go academic or industry; whether I want to stay in US or back home. I think my answer is getting clear: yes, I miss home a lot. I have my parents and best friends over there. But, I want to have a chance to know more of the world. I would like to have a chance to be part of somewhere instead of home, somewhere I will love like I love my home. I would like to know more people that can hang out with. More people that is not with the same color as mine but with the same mind as mine. I would like to see how I could fit into this world, how far I could reach, and how high I could fly. I would like to know more of myself, and let the world knows more about me.  

This dude is overwhelmingly charming for the reason I don't know. His proposal of change reminds me of A-Bian 8 years ago. It was a golden age of belief. Sadly its fading away. I wish if Obama has made it, he will be able to keep and make his faith come true. And I wish there will be some guy (like this guy?) could bring us dream to our Formosa.

 

 

Ireland is really fascinating place for producing music, like U2, cranberries, the corr, enya, morrison...and a new member, Bell X1
