好團推薦：Flobots

Flobots作為一個主流廠牌（Universal）下的樂手，還能保有自身對社會的批判，是相當難能可貴的。Flobots的音樂形式為搖滾＋Hip Hop，有人說：Flobots聽起來像是Eminem+Cake. The lead rapper John 5 回應：我們自己並不認為我們聽起來跟Eminem or Cake類似，但是假若這是別人得以認識我們的方法，那麼我們也無所謂。一開始當我們被置於另類搖滾樂團，我們明顯的和其他的另類搖滾不同，也因此受到矚目。





2007年，他們發行首張專輯。（其實已是第三張，前兩張皆為獨立發行）

1. “There’s a War Going On for Your Mind” – 1:22
2. “Mayday!!!” – 4:36
3. “Same Thing” – 3:29
4. “Stand Up” – 4:38
5. “Fight with Tools” – 4:51
6. “Handlebars” – 3:27
7. “Never Had It” – 5:07
8. “Combat” – 2:05
9. “The Rhythm Method (Move!)” – 3:52
10. “Anne Braden” – 4:21
11. “We Are Winning” – 3:22
12. “Rise” – 4:10
13. “Iraq” (UK bonus track) – 3:31

第一次聽到Flobots到現在大概也有兩年了，一直拖到最近才想要去瞭解他們的想法和哲學。在閱讀和聆聽的過程之中，慢慢地被他們所感動。最初是從Handlebar這首歌（同時也是他們加入環球後所發的的第一單曲）開始認識他們。最初，被音樂旋律所感染，覺得是首易聽也容易記得的好歌。仔細聽後，才發現歌詞原來這麼具有爆發力，同時，對我來說，似乎呼應了漢娜鄂蘭（Hannah Arendt）『邪惡的平庸性』（banality of evil）的概念。邪惡的本身，也不過是從個人的意志和心願而起。
本來想要放上他們的MV的，沒想到現在Youtube不讓人隨便Embeded了，只好放網址，聊勝於無摟...（有好心人士願意教我嗎？）

大推曲目： “We Are Winning” “Anne Braden”

A letter with no address

After the talk last night, it is clear that we knew what might happen all along.
We just choose to over look it.
At least, I do.

It made me feel more sad than the actual break up.
It seems to me that this is the story of my life.
People walks in my life fora good year or two, then eventually they have to leave.
Leave me to be more exact.

You always said that I can be extremely detached if I want to be.
How can you not be when there is nothing to look for and everything you thought it was right proven to be wrong in the end.

I don't like to talk about my feelings because it doesn't solve the problem.
When you know there is nothing you can do to fix it, what is the point to talk about it?

Are we still in love?
Are we reaching the end of it?
Are we there yet?

You will never understand why I am acting the way I am.
I hate to explain myself.
You simply will never get it.
Sometimes you can't meet it in the half way.
How ironic........

It's awfully dreadful and sad in my blog.
I just realized it.
If there is a way for me to let out the steam in life, my blog is definitely one of it.
I guess, in this way, it's not too psycho if I want to keep it this way.
But then, this ultimately reveals a bigger character's flaws.
I care too much....
about EVERYTHING but the important things.

Let it be me.

I am not angry nor sad.
I feel I have nothing to say.
If you really have to find a reason, let it be me then.

12 books

I can't really rate the importance(the book had brought to me) so I just put them in random* order.

Random, when it pops out of my head. =)

1. The Historian.
2. The Name of The Rose.
3. The Stranger.
4. The Island of Yesterday.
5. The Handmaid's Tale.
6. Dante Club.
7. Looking Awry.
8. Flowers for Algernon
9. Dream of The Red Chamber-曹雪芹Cao Xueqin
10.Fahrenheit 451
11. Arsene Lupin
12. Stella Luna

It's truly like a karma.
The more you want to put it behind you, the more it hunts you back.
I often wonder: Am I really the only one who has issue?
I don't have any close friends.
Sad but true.
I do have social schedule but that's all.
Sometimes I felt like I am all alone.
I keep on losing track on others
It seems to me that I subconsciously trying to maintain a proper distance with people.

Where do I belong or where don't I ?

做自己

從來都不覺得作自己很難
也許因為老是以為自己特立獨行 與眾不同
最深沈的恐懼便是與刻板印象不謀而合

近來 發現 自己越來越和常態分配靠近
這也絕非舊聞
高中時的覺悟：自己絕非品味特異之人，只不過早別人一步罷了
現今的覺悟又是什麼呢？

最大的敵人不過就是自己吧。

在被耗盡的當下重生 是一種幸福嗎？
