Mika - Toy Boy
那個, 跳過歌詞, 這不太適合當小孩子的晚安曲說...
有沒有人聽出來, 他其實用了魔笛裡面的片段!! (舉手!)
聽到整個是大笑啊! (這解釋了觀眾的反應=)
可是嘩一聲笑完反到有種憂鬱.
想起魔笛本身的涵義, (加上他寫的歌詞.)
莫札特這傢伙的個性和經歷, 再對照電影版的阿瑪迪斯,
總是要有些前置的文化意涵, 才能玩出這些諷刺呢.

don't go crazy on posture
想不起來為什麼會執著的要找出當初紐約時報上, 今年范.克萊本大賽完隔天的報導.
(明明看過, 阿是收到哪裡去咧....)
------------------
阿, 大腦記憶體不足的結果就是這樣,
起源是看到某洗髮精的唬爛廣告.
[直接跳過聽覺缺陷者學音樂話題.]
重點是在拉小提琴時, 頭髮是無法四處飛揚成瘋女十八年的好嗎!!!
請不要再誤導大家了好嗎?
真正拉琴的人, 難道會看不出來, 為了廣告效果,
你們其實在鏡頭拍不到的角落放了兩百台的強力電風扇啊 啊 啊 啊.
真是的, 我知道頭髮還經過後制, 遠看很漂亮, 可現實世界是不可能的.
------------------
回到Cliburn 的老話題.
簡單說, 今年爭議很大. the end.
會想起來是因為這傢伙要開音樂會
Nobuyuki Tsujii play Rach no.2 piano concerto,
from 2009 Cliburn final round, Mvt. I part 1
part 2
很古怪的念頭突然閃過.
我比較喜歡手離鍵盤近的彈法, 而不是像馬戲團一樣, 彈首曲子兩隻手滿場飛,
看的我頭都暈了.
如果, 假使他看的到, 會不會變成蝴蝶一樣個彈法呢?
(對, 反正這是個無解的答案,)
樂團你們辛苦了.

090909?
Have special plans this 09/09/09?
Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.
In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9," an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.
Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.
Though technically there's nothing special about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the history and meaning of numbers ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.
For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated - while others might see the date as an ominous warning.
Math magic
Modern numerologists - who operate outside the realm of real science - believe that mystical significance or vibrations can be assigned to each numeral one through nine, and different combinations of the digits produce tangible results in life depending on their application.
As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.
Though usually discredited as bogus, numerologists do have a famous predecessor to look to. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and father of the famous theorem, is also credited with popularizing numerology in ancient times.
"Pythagoras most of all seems to have honored and advanced the study concerned with numbers, having taken it away from the use of merchants and likening all things to numbers," wrote Aristoxenus, an ancient Greek historian, in the 4th century B.C.
As part of his obsession with numbers both mathematically and divine, and like many mathematicians before and since, Pythagoras noted that nine in particular had many unique properties.
Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.
Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)...
Loving 9
Both China and Japan have strong feelings about the number nine. Those feelings just happen to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The Chinese pulled out all the stops to celebrate their lucky number eight during last year's Summer Olympics, ringing the games in at 8 p.m. on 08/08/08. What many might not realize is that nine comes in second on their list of auspicious digits and is associated with long life, due to how similar its pronunciation is to the local word for long-lasting (eight sounds like wealth).
Historically, ancient Chinese emperors associated themselves closely with the number nine, which appeared prominently in architecture and royal dress, often in the form of nine fearsome dragons. The imperial dynasties were so convinced of the power of the number nine that the palace complex at Beijing's Forbidden City is rumored to have been built with 9,999 rooms.
Japanese emperors would have never worn a robe with nine dragons, however.
In Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky - second only to four, which sounds like death.
Many Japanese will go so far as to avoid room numbers including nine at hotels or hospitals, if the building planners haven't already eliminated them altogether.

這學期自己的時間多了, 不在琴房時, 便是一片寂靜. 最怕的是中午時間那種人聲鼎沸加上樂團轟炸的場景. 每天儘量給自己一段時間'淨空'聽覺, 結果聽到了更多細微的聲音.....
後院一向是放任生長的. 加上好幾個月不在家, 雜草長的像叢林一般. (我有說過, 我老是想開大型除草機飆車嗎? 要那種馬力十足, 可以換檔的唷.)前幾天趁下過雨, 一股作氣的把雜草全除光, 顯現本來的乾淨原貌. 早上起來, 轉身就看見一群麻雀開心的降落在院子裡. 刁乾草, 追蚱蜢, 翻翻土壤,只差連圍牆都想掀了. 從沒想過鳥喙的聲音竟會如此清脆. 全身鮮紅的山雀站在圍牆上睥睨著這群小傢伙, 轉轉頭, 沒入木瑾中. 然後, 才發現這裡的鳥兒走路的機會還真高! 搭著昨天唸到的, 關於Schubert 藝術歌曲中鋼琴的手法, 倒是挺貼切的.
所以, 音樂家常說: 'Meine Liebe ist grün wie der Fliederbusch' 我的愛情是綠色. 以宏觀的角度來看, 文學中的浪漫主義常取材大自然當作靈感來源. 流浪者, 黑夜, 無法如願的愛情etc., 這都可以概括在同一個媒介裡了.
[poem]
If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine
I want you to know
one thing.
