Where I End and You Begin.



there's a gap in between
there's a gap where we meet
where i end and you begin

and i'm sorry for us
the dinosaurs roam the earth
the sky turns green
where i end and you begin

i am up in the clouds
i am up in the clouds
and i can't and i can't come down

i can watch but not take part
where i end and where you start
where you, you left me alone
you left me alone.

X' will mark the place
like parting the waves
like a house falling into the sea.

I know some people may not like this kind of music, but I just can't forget the bassline.
In the film there is a piano-like instrument. It is called Ondes Martenot. This is "an early electronic musical instrument with a keyboard and slide, invented in 1928 by Maurice Martenot", according to Wikipedia. This instrument is responsible for the freak high-pitch noise in the song.

Hail to the Thief (向老賊敬禮)

Hail to the Thief 1

昨天在信和購入二手的Hail to the Thief, 跟Isaac打邊爐慶祝他生日後回家聽歌。
有跟我談音樂的朋友都知道自上學期初我便中了Radiohead毒,皆因聽了他們的OK Computer; 聽了數次後便買回家,中毒更深。接著又聽了The Bends, Kid AI Might Be Wrong.


CDs
暑假中段感到自己已聽了很久「電台司令」(網上看到的Radiohead譯名),想聽多些電子音樂,於是聽了適逢出碟的The Chemical BrothersWe are the Night, 後來再買入網評不俗的Dig Your Own Hole. 聽後發現自己其實喜歡We are the Night多一些,雖然也不能說碟中每首歌也喜歡。


Hail to the Thief 2
Hail to the Thief並不是新碟,這張專輯早於2003年6月推出,正是美伊戰爭開始後約三個月。聽了一次全碟後覺得這張專輯政治味道甚濃,個人覺得當中幾首歌(2+2=5, Sail to the Moon, I Will)都有些反George Bush的情緒。當中一些歌詞("Are you such a dreamer? to put the world to rights?"; "Maybe you 'll be president but know right from wrong"; "...with white elephants sitting ducks. I will rise up."),加上專輯這樣的名稱,不難令人約有所思。
說回歌曲,Hail to the Thief可說是回歸搖滾,皆因之前Radiohead的兩張專輯Amnesiac和Kid A均有濃厚電子氣氛,但Hail to the Thief始終比OK Computer有更多電子味。暫時留意到的Hail to the Thief歌曲有2+2=5, Sit Down Stand Up, Sail to the Moon, Where I End and You Begin和There there. 相信接下來這段日子我又會重投Radiohead懷抱。

老餅廣告測驗 結果

你是半個電視廣告迷﹗
你有66分,看來某程度上你是半個電視廣告迷吧!

你喜歡看電視之餘,也有留心電視節目之間所播放的廣告。得到這樣的分數,也許只是有些不太突出的廣告你沒有留意。沒關係的,這不是你的錯,是廣告商拍攝得不夠吸引罷了!:)

大家也來玩,看看有多少分吧~

老鬼有言

今天很有可能是在下最後一個暑假的最後一天。
不知不覺大學生涯已步入最後一年,自己從新鮮人變成老鬼,速度快得自己也來不及發現。
回顧過去兩年大學生活,自己發生了不少。記得初進大學時自己看到的人和事都跟想像中的有出入,懷疑自己的價值觀;後來自己開始麻木和接受,漸漸適應大學生活。接著自己決定上莊,與莊員共事一年,一同度過AGM和EGM,一起籌辦不同function,令自己眼界大開;但最重要的是我認識了一班有趣的莊員,他們各有性格,陪伴我度過大學裡的大部份時光,我想我這輩子也不會忘記他們。
8-2-2007 Annual Dinner

在大學,學術上自己實在談不上有何成就,但自己倒是感受到CENG001學的"to learn how to learn",學到了不少非學術的知識,我相信這些知識將會終身受用。
還有不夠半小時今天便完結,明天開始便要繼續為未來舖路。
