here is the list of my favorite 10 albums of 2008, no particular order

it's not about how many copys they sold or how many nominations they had.

it's just i like them i feel the emotions in the music, that's it.

sigur ros--með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

this is by far the most joyful sigur ros album. i think at this time people in iceland need it very much!

death cab for cutie--nerrow stair

i feel the music from last album is like opening their tender arms to me. they still open their arms to me but in a more sophicated way.

that's right they possess my heart.

alphabeat--this is alphabeat

perfect for my sing along time, just sing and dance with alphbeat.

 

iwasacubscout_albumcover.jpg

i was a cub scout--i want you to know that there's always hope

keyboard plus drum, young and bouncy tune. maybe a bit silly so what it's cute.

too bad the band dismissed after released their first album.

vampire weekend--vampire weekend

fresh and energetic! put on your skinny jeans and follow the beat a-a-a-a!

the last shadow puppets--the ago of understatement

cant believe i just choose another not so sad music album!

this is an album will help you to unleash whatever you want to release.

portishead--third

heavy, sentimental and deep music.

feel like i am in a big black hold but not really want to get out cuz i am enchanted by her voice.

 

200px-Jukebox_cat_power_album.jpg

cat power--jukebox

although there are all cover songs in this album, she just "cat powerlized" every piece of work.

her voice is like a movie in which everyone keeps smoking.

 

200px-Juno_soundtrack.jpg

juno soundtrack--various artists

it fulls of songs that should appear in my teenage time but luckily i found it now. 

 

109735.300.jpg

1976--asteriod

for all who have a dream and the dream will never die.

all you need to do is listen and you will like them as i do.

  • 置頂 今天

今天 走在買報紙回到租屋處的路上

天氣竟然異常的清爽 舒適

讓我忘記 四點就要天黑的事實

抬頭 我正好經過警察局的前面

屋頂 隨風飄揚的國旗 那一張union jack

原來 我真的在英國

video8, a camera introduced by sony in 1985.

unlike its BIG rivals, the video8 camera is small enough to just fit in its users hand.

therefore, a very popular home entertainment machine was born.

 

10 minutes ago, i was watching a video of some family occasions which original shot by a video8 camere but now it has been converted to a wmv file and stored in a disk so i can watch it on my macbook. 

the time in the video shows 1991, at that time i was still a teenager who really wanted to be different wanted to be someone else wanted to be cool. 

i saw my mom with a funny and ridiculous hair style but it was very fashionable in 1991.

i saw my sister who likes to make fun with me now but with a rarely smiled face in 1991.

i saw my black belt bike maniac brother had apple on his cheek in 1991.

and i saw my dad.

 

he was on the video maybe less than 10 seconds. why the camera didnt stop on him longer?

i can still remember his smile, his signature and his movement.

before he went back to his camp he always sits next to my bed and told me a story about a black swan and a white swan.

but i cant remember his voice, not even a little.

in that 10 seconds, i hope i can hear something from him and i wish that can help me to remember his voice.

but i cant. i cant even remember my own fathers voice.

 

how i wish he just stands by me every moment now and then when i need him. 

he cant but i still have my mom, my sister and my brother stand by me.

so when i think of him i told myself, be brave for the living ones.

我又看完了一本書 讓我開始覺得 知識對於人來說 很重要

其重要點不在於 運用這些知識你可以解決多少問題 回應多少疑惑

對我來說 每一部電影 每一首音樂 幫我建立了 我自己內在的世界

而每個我讀進去的文字所建立的 是我永遠也無法完全了解的外在世界

 

這一本書叫做 經濟殺手的告白 confessions of an economic hit man

作者是美國人 所揭發的也是美國在世界各地所進行的邪惡行為

簡單的來說 這本書提供了為甚麼 世界上有這麼多人會討厭 甚致增恨美國人的理由

作者指出 美國的殖民的野心 未曾改變 從早年對於中南美的羅斯福主義 到現在的全球帝國主義

銀行 跨國企業 政府 正是這貪婪帝國的邪惡軸心

金權政體 這個詞不斷在書中被提及的辭彙 正統治著大部份國家

 

融合了近代史 這本書 比24小時放送的新聞更清晰明白呈現 戰爭的原委

那已經消失在電視上 報紙裡 讓人麻木的血腥畫面和字裡行間中

打著民主自由旗幟推翻暴政的美國 所驅動他們的不是正義 而是利益


不禁 我想到 應該是南方朔在切格瓦拉摩拖車日記的序 寫到

(我真的不確定 手邊也沒書 但反正就是一個跟切格瓦拉有關的文章)

跟切一起奮鬥的卡斯楚在獲得統治的權力之後 放棄的是改革 所作的只想要更鞏固他的權力

古今中外 統治者 誰又何嘗不是呢  


這本書 更讓我震驚的是 默默無聞的小人物 像是你我 往往可能在無意間成為幫兇

不知者無罪 聽起來 對於現在的我來說 是對於自己天真的詮釋自己的無知

會讓我這樣覺得的原因是 在這本書裡面 作者經常流露出防衛機制當中所謂的合理化

認為他的墮落是人性的弱點  受雇於人他也只是混口飯吃 現實的壓力他沒有選擇

我們經常都會這樣逃避 沒有選擇 其實是我們選擇讓選擇這件事變得容易一些

 

銀行 跨國企業 政府 都有改變的能力 和 影響力

其存在不全是邪惡的性質

人 才是需要改變的根本
