生活二三事.
本打算今年棄難取易修個本地開班的 sound design course，
結果在修生不足情況下，開班時間一捆再拖，
拖到開班時間與個人計劃撞期，
well~看來連天要我學會「正定」。
最近存錢要敗它......

toe contert in HK
Best known for its swift, acute beat and rhythms, clean melodic guitar settings and refreshingly riveting live perfomances, toe is the internationally reknown math/post-rock instrumental music group of four that has created a whirlwind of musical excitement since its inception in 2000. toe's eloquent musical uniqueness comes from its ability to glide intricate, subtle morphs in beat and rhythm on incendiary rock motifs, and a masterfully woven flowing texture of fresh acoustic guitars. Combined with emotionally absorbing live performances, it is one of the most refreshing instrumental bands on the forefront of Japanese indie music. The band's exceptional musical prowness has also often been compared to critically acclaimed and internationally recognised acts such as Pele and The Album Leaf. toe's one and only South East Asian tour stop in Hong Kong, Don't Miss it.

病......
左手傷患一直不好之迷團終於解開......
原來，原來，原來，
我的脊骨從第一節開始嚴重歪側，
做成頸椎不單壓著左手神經與血管，
其他骨頭也因脊骨歪七扭八關係也跟著生在不對位置方向上......
=_= 連醫生也奇怪，為何這麼多條神經被壓也沒痛死......
喔~我有喝烈酒止痛嘛!!
無論如何，感謝 candy 介紹一位好醫生給小弟!!
上次在bar 小jam 5 mins. 後我左手痛到動不了情形應該嚇倒妳吧 (笑~)。

錢永遠不夠......
音樂真的是一燒錢玩意，甚至比 video 更花錢。
剛敗了 Adam A7，旋即發現bedroom studio 甚至整個大樓電力設計嚴重有問題......
花小錢暫緩問題之影響後，又發現自己原有 equiments 不足處......
打算針對不滿地方時，卻卡在錢不夠花，
猶豫該買 plug-ins，抑或先買早在助手時期師父交代要買的 mac.跟 pro tool，
或去再進修......!!??
喔~~~~錢喔!!!!!

這樣子14年溜走了......
可以的話，跟1994年一起玩 band 朋友們聚在一起喝一杯......
一起再open jam......
(嗯......在強力藥物下我還能勉強彈到結他的!!)
一起聊聊這十幾年怎樣怎樣，
最後為自己為大家為 KURT COBAIN 乾一杯......
沒錯~就這樣子，14年過去了......
我們的搖滾年代也過去了......

Andy Palacio 1960~2008.
Andy Palacio, the leading light of Garifuna music and champion of this unique Caribbean culture, as passed away in his homeland of Belize. He was 47 years old.
The Garifuna star died of a stroke, a heart attack and respiratory failure. He was taken ill on January 16 and as his condition deteriorated he was flown to the US for emergency treatment in Chicago. However, as his condition worsened en route in Mobile, Alabama, his family asked that he be flown back to Belize to die in his homeland.
Palacio’s death comes at a time when he was at the peak of his creativity, having recently released the album Wátina to critical acclaim (Top of the World #48). He was a leading cultural activist in the Garifuna community – who are the descendents of escaped African slaves and Amerindians who settled the Central American Caribbean coast. He was appointed Cultural Ambassador and Deputy Administrator of the National Institute of Culture and History of Belize in 2004 and in 2007 was made a UNESCO Artist for Peace (the first in Central America), received the World Music Expo’s prestigious WOMEX Award, the Order of Meritorious Service from the prime minister of Belize and he has won the Americas category in the 2008 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music.
Such accolades serve to illustrate the influence of Palacio’s work in promoting Garifuna music and culture around the world and the esteem in which he was held by the people of Belize. He will receive an official state funeral and a tribute concert is planned for January 25 in Belize City. He will be deeply missed in the world of music.

Mari Boine
記不清起甚麼時候迷上 world music，
記不起何年何月何日有幸聽到薩米 sami 歌手 Mari Boine 真人演出，
自此，愛上這源於天邊民族的音樂。
Mari Boine 及有關薩米 sami 事情在此不作詳談，
網上不乏有心人士；
今天無意在 you tube 上發現 Mari Boine 為一電影主唱的歌，
若誰知道電影及歌名，可否告訴我......!!??

2007舊事回顧.
1.join 了raymond chu 在 hk poly u 的 mixing course。
好一個獲益良多的 short course !!
2.辭了 mastv 工作。
老實說，到目前這一刻也說不清這決定是否正確，畢竟在那邊確是有不少機會，
職位也比現在職位更多點社會地位(......想不到小弟「曾經」是junior engineer 吧~~)，
然而，於糧期、員工福利.、合約......等等因素下，毅然轉至一公認「垃圾」的 tv station 工作。
嗯......好與壞，看來現在還不能下結論。
3. mimi 走了。
mimi 是我的狗狗......已經17歲多......
她，沒有任何名種血統，一頭很普通很普通的唐狗......
可是，聰明得很，，不單聽口令也曾抓過小偷......
然而，不經覺間，她也老了，
不單瞌睡耳朵眼睛不中用，也開始失禁無法自行爬起來......
所以，在中秋節前一天，我決定讓她走得舒服一點......
mimi，你今天好嗎!!??你那在天堂的旅程如何......!!??

THEORY OF MACHINES / ben frost
"Arresting and exquiste... A truly elemental creative force.. "-Maryanne Hobbs, BBC Radio One
"Sonic Youth softened guitar rock audiences, Lightning Bolt did the same for many punks, and Fennesz has shown the possibility for melody among noisenik laptoppers... if this is a list of noise artists that could permanently change how music listeners view the genre it may be time to add Ben Frost to it."-Stylus
"...Louder than any Rock 'n' Roll and much more likely to throw you off balance, this record makes you react physically in a literal sense, your stomach may ache, you might need to lie down... The most striking record that i have heard this year." * * * * *- Morgunblaðið, Iceland
出生於澳洲現居冰島、曾為Bjork混音的Ben Frost，以新專輯探索音高、音量和音色的每一極端，且帶著挑釁的態度要求聽者進入他仔細創造的聲響世界，裡面的變化緩慢微妙，卻時而暴力駭人，具侵略性地勾動聽者的生理反應。
試聽: http://www.myspace.com/theghostofbenfrost
On Theory Of Machines Frost presents a challenging and invasive sonic experience of digitally manipulated litany via minimal, guitar-oriented compositions that massage the lower-body and sometimes hurt above the waist ...A painfully beautiful experience. The scale of Ben Frost’s Theory of Machines is enormous, exploiting every extreme of pitch, volume and timbre, recalling the unbounded enormity of the natural world. The changes in the music sometimes seem as gradual as changes in the weather—and sometimes as violent.

turth is out of here.
若以下報導屬實的話，煩請國際法庭趕快開工吧~~
喂!!現行戰犯耶~~!!!
【明報專訊】美國 哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）周四聲稱，旗下記者經兩年調查，終揪出虛報伊拉克 擁有生化武器、掀動美軍出兵伊拉克的「幕後黑手」。CBS指這名美國「線人」自稱是伊拉克的生物武器工程師，實際上是說謊者、賊人及劣等學生，其虛構情報成為美國呈交聯合國 的攻伊「證據」。
《60分鐘時事雜誌》的記者西蒙指出，這名「線人」名為阿勒萬（Rafid Ahmed Alwan），99年以伊拉克變節者身分，赴德國 尋求政治庇護。由於他曾在伊拉克一廠房當小職員，遂虛報是該「流動生物武器工廠」的化學工程師兼負責人，甚至訛稱廠房曾發生意外，令12名職員死於生物武器，以爭取難民資格，但西蒙發現，阿勒萬雖擁有化學工程學位，但大部分科目僅50多分，是成績最差的學生之一。他曾在巴格達 一電視製作公司工作，卻被控在公司偷竊。
根據《60》，他的「告密」被整理成逾百份撮要，呈交中情局，並成為美軍攻伊的重要理據。《60》指出，德國情報主管在呈交給前中情局長特內的信件中，指阿勒萬證供雖似可信，但無法證實。中情局未理會警告，美國前國務卿鮑威爾 後來把阿勒萬的指控作為薩達姆 「罪證」，呈交聯合國，而美國武器調查員後來無法在阿勒萬所報稱的「流動工廠」找到生物武器證據，從而揭穿其謊言。但阿勒萬已憑謊話取得德國居留權，目前可能以假名在德國生活。
