11.Sakura-Acoustic Version-

开场的Sakura实在好听,听到便单首循环,不下50次.主唱吉岡聖恵的声音不能算出色,但不似日本女人的尖锐吵杂,在一个舒服的点上,2男1女的经典Jpop组合,没办法让人不喜欢.整体感觉便和封面一样.colorful~

欧~去年听的一张，那时候失眠的厉害，听到Sleep共鸣的要死，特别在SP贴出来，现在重发。。。另外主打的F*** U，也实在可爱的可以，5分14秒的憎恶，对象是一个unamed devil...'Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say.But I don't think I can so f*** you anyway...'

Genre分在trip hop老实说开始实在没有听出来，电子的成分被强势的吉他带过(另外一提，F*** U后半部的吉他噪音好听到爆，管你是不是trip hop)。purposely听来，才勉强有trip hop的感觉，难怪网络上的评价，也强调太过mix，其他乐队的影子太多，Massive Attack，the cure，radiohead，Muse，Pink Floyd...可能如此对于乐队本身不是一件好事，但换个角度想乐队的歌迷群或许也因此扩大了很多，音乐若可以让更多人听到并且喜欢即足已，还需要求什么呢~

再贴上Sleep的歌词，给失眠的某同志~潜在的trip pop元素可以治疗失眠，爱信不信~

Archive - Sleep 

The enemy is after me again
Afraid of the sea and what's down there
I need to sleep
It's been a whole week

Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

I need to sleep
It's been a whole week

Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

My bones keep breaking
Tearing me away from the quiet
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the quiet

Night time, gruelling, just time to waste
Heights they kill me, leave scarring on my face

Cos' I never, ever, ever fall into sleep?
And I've never ever ever felt so weak

Cos' tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

My bones keep breaking
Tearing me away from the quiet
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the quiet

I wanna fall down (Repeat x 5)

~苹果新欢的NEWS，最为日fan也拿来听一下，杰尼斯事务所的靓男真是层出不穷，年纪也越来越小。山P只大西西2岁，算来也是心寒。。。推荐的code,乃是苹果的最爱，锦户亮同学的独唱曲，西西初听是NEWS得演唱会DVD，亮兄抱着吉他还真有点架势。典型的JRock曲风，ryo君的嗓音也有特点，让西西想到亲爱的已经解散的baroque的怜同学。ryo君不如早点脱离杰尼斯，转战rock界~也不用被山P的锋芒盖住不是么。。另外一首team work，抒情小品。还属ryo君的声音最迷人~

三年前听到这支纽约的3人乐队，In the Clear,那首Thinking about you里Dominique Durand唱着'And you're fading to black,like it's nothing at all' 温暖异常的声音。巴黎人的缘故，美国人唱不来的。用allmusic的Jack Rabid的话来说'Ivy are a summer breeze and a cool lemonade, here for all to taste. '

Euphoria去年春天的新作品。第一次接触他们是上一张的Eternal gift from the moment.封面是油画绘作的花朵，明亮的颜色温暖人心。那是春天的歌曲，那样觉着的。这次选在樱花盛开的季节，第1首Reverse旋律一样的轻快。开场近半分钟的清脆鼓声，带出Hiroyuki Morikawa的floral式吉他，心情似乎也就可以这么好起来，就这么样听到春天吧~

Radiohead就是群牛人！新专辑直接放在网上付费下载，价钱随意，看着办！当然西西没赶上这美事，老老实实去唱片店，实在人做实在事。。。

说回音乐，这张的风格偏向The Bends.是喜欢的radiohead,对于传为旷世奇作的OK Computer不知怎得喜欢不起来，可能又先入为主了。推荐的All I Need,带有迷幻色彩的background，Thom Yorke的吟唱,后半段keyborad based的演奏尤为出色,you are all i need...

能说什么呢，瑞典不愧是世界第三大音乐输出国。Logh的1st album，05年开始接触后摇时最先听得band。去高考的路上，一直在听的就是这张。那时候，只记得。天是灰色的。心是麻木的。无力感，满溢的无力感。yellow lights mean slow down,not speed up，Mattias Friberg的声音也是无力的，'living is dying sometimes i know'他这么唱着。三把吉他，撕裂至天空的声音。'there's a bad,unkind thing in the air tonight...'

欧~又是瑞典的团，all sung in French and English by Ylva Lindberg in her breathy voice.融合了modern流行电子与80年代的电子舞曲风时而还要classical一下。。。用他们自己的话说'Friday Bridge is the ideal musical companion to dinner parties and parlour games. '推荐的是06年Friendlynoise厂牌出品的Are You Scared to Get Happy?合辑里收录的It Girl，清新的电子小品，甜的腻人么，呵呵，我老奶奶还没说呢。

Sheffield的五人团体，网上的评论褒贬不一。于我来说好听就可以。旋律简单上耳，POP感很强，却不明白为什么没有红起来。专辑包括先前的两张single，Remain(Owen Morris-produced)和Recurrect Me(Fierce Panda)，水平很平均，full of hopeful passsion.当然作为debut album这也是相当明智的做法，用IndieLondon的Jack Foley话来总结，'It’s a good album; just not great.'

List:- 

01.月光
02.イノセンス
03.BACK DOOR(album version)
04.edge
05.We can go
06.call
07.シャイン(album version) (5.67MB)
08.Cage
09.螺旋
10.眩暈
11.月光（album version）

心血来朝翻来鬼束的首张专辑。初中的时候初听甚喜欢シャイン。PV中，钢琴前，茶色头发，唱歌着的虔诚姿势，这些细节是清晰记忆着的。现在找来，仍然那样的喜欢，用钢琴营造的鬼束的氛围。除却这些，她所独特的歌词意境亦令人着迷。著名的月光为例，I am God's child...How do I live on such a field? Ican't hang out this world. 寥寥几句英文透露出她独特的世界观，月之昭示若为阴暗，黑暗，那么月光便是such a field上的最为纯粹的简单希望，幸福。

"鬼束自嘲自己是个笨拙的人，在求学过程中总觉得学校生活就像是牢笼，令她窒息，渴望寻求一个不存在的虚拟形象来摆脱现实生活，也因此在歌词中常使用god,神样此类的字眼来为自己寻求解脱。"
