Taiwan singer Claire Kuo has rounded out her "Pure Love Trilogy" with her third album Singing in the Trees to be released in May 2009. In order to participate in the numerous promotional activities for the release, she has to give up playing the female lead in a new idol drama, despite having undertaken training in taekwondo for the role for two months already. But Claire does have enough idol charisma to warrant her involvement in other idol dramas: her new songs "Understand" and "Heart Wall" are chosen as the Taiwan version end themes for the highly anticipated Korean dramas East of Eden and Boys Over Flowers respectively. Singing in the Trees also contains the titular first plug which is used as the 2009 theme song for a garments brand. The Preorder Version comes with a Bonus DVD containing footage from Claire's live concert held at Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf in June 2008.

台湾新生代艺人歌手郭静,继《我不想忘记你》和《下一个天亮》后,又一纯爱大碟《在树上唱歌》。 「下一个天亮」音乐班底—姚若龙和陈小霞携手合作,为郭静谱出2009年纯爱主打歌「在树上唱歌」,再加上她以全新俏丽短发的全新形象,让郭静再次带领新一波的情歌风潮

Eunice Kathleen Waymon, better known by her stage name Nina Simone (February 21, 1933 – April 21, 2003), was a Grammy Award-nominated American singer, songwriter, pianist, arranger and civil rights activist.
Although she disliked being categorized, Simone is generally classified as a jazz musician. Simone originally aspired to become a classical pianist, but her work covers an eclectic variety of musical styles besides her classical basis, such as jazz, soul, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop music. Her vocal style is characterized by intense passion, a loose vibrato, and a slightly androgynous timbre, in part due to her unusually low vocal range which veered between the alto and tenor ranges (occasionally even reaching baritone lows). Also known as The High Priestess of Soul, she paid great attention to the musical expression of emotions. Within one album or concert she could fluctuate between exuberant happiness or tragic melancholy. These fluctuations also characterized her own personality and personal life, worsened by bipolar disorder with which she was diagnosed in the mid-1960s, but was kept secret until 2004 after her death

中文介绍转自紫苏的博客:

Julian Velard1979年出生于纽约一个法国移民家庭,大学主修音乐(艺术),科班出身。2007年加盟英国EMI旗下,后主留在英国发展。一人包揽了键盘,小提琴和演唱创作,可谓不折不扣的唱作人。有点低调的不好整,这张专辑连张正确的封面都找不到,入EMI之前,他自己有三张自制的专辑,其中The Movies Without You 后来由Lucky Number厂牌再次发行。在现在厂牌之下,这还是正儿八经的第一张录音室专辑.去年听过一张EP,对《Jimmy Dead & Steve McQueen》的MV印象深刻。年轻混搭的声音,一点点邋遢,一点点忧郁颓废,美式随意和略为怪异的唱腔,还是跳跃的钢琴伴奏,让你在听歌时不知觉同化,莫名一身轻松,粗糙低哑的低音更彰显着他的独特。
这张大多其实都还是老曲,没听过的可以听听

Anti-normative behavior is expected from most successful artists. There is little reason for them to pay much attention to the Top 40, since worthwhile artists do not derive their material from popular opinion.
It may seem like a bold statement, but there is little purpose in devoting a large amount of time to a songwriter who sounds like everyone else on the radio. Listeners come to expect innovation but there is often a personal struggle for artists that wish to find the middle ground between accustomed accessibility and staggeringinnovation.
This process often cannot be resolved through practice though, as the proper ideology appears to be embedded within the talented scope of an artist whether it is before they start writing songs or not.
If one has a tendency to gravitate toward the unconventional in the early stages of their life, it can provide good indication of such an embedded ideology. When Julian Velard was in his teens and started to become wildly interested in music, one can imagine the social circumstances that surrounded him. Unlike today's auto-tuned R&B and subliminally linear pop music, the 29-year-old experienced the likes of Pavement, Nirvana, and the Pixies when music began to first tickle his ears.
He enjoyed the emerging genres of grunge and indie-rock but, unlike his peers, much of Velard's attention was diverted elsewhere: cabaret-style pop music.

It's Like Love - You're Too Sweet For Rock & Roll





乐队名称:It's Like Love
专辑名称:You're Too Sweet For Rock & Roll
公司厂牌:Tragic Hero Records
风格类型:Powerpop/Punk Rock/Alternative
发行日期:2009.01.20

It was inevitable that after releasing such a solid EP that It's Like Love would eventually get signed. Tragic Hero Records became the lucky home for the powerpop quintet back in August of '08 and now five months later, they're releasing their debut album, You're Too Sweet for Rock & Roll.

The aforementioned EP, I'm Selling Your Things, was a synth-driven trip into poppy melodies, catchy hooks and infectious vocals; it reminded me much of early Motion City Soundtrack. You're Too Sweet possesses some of the same qualities present in the EP but still manages to let the listener realize that this isn't the same It's Like Love from over a year and a half ago.

The band shows off their progression with tracks like "Untitled," a mellow acoustic song, and "Without You," the album's slowest song powered by piano throughout. However, songs such as "Devin, Don't Give Up" and "It's Not Me, It's You" (the album's opener) display their Motion City Soundtrack-esque musicianship which their earlier fans have grown accustomed to.

"You Put the Whore in Sorority" takes the band's catchiness to a whole new level as the song's chorus is one of the strongest in the band's catalog and arguably in the genre. It's Like Love also makes the un-surprising move of re-recording tracks from their EP to add to the full-length. The re-recorded tracks, "Keep Your Eyes On Me," "Alcohol Brings Out the Bedroom Eyes," and "So I Lied" may take a bit to warm up to for listeners who were used to the originals as I feel the band took away the zing that made them previously pop.

All in all, it's January; it's cold, and there's not too many things I'd rather do than to sit back with the heat on and listen to some music that reminds me of the Summer months. If you're like me - keep warm and give It's Like Love's You're Too Sweet for Rock & Roll a shot.

Drive A - Loss of Desire

Hailing from Los Angeles California, the members of DRIVE A come together to forge a killer mix of pounding drums, lethal guitars, cascading bass lines and fierce vocals that converge to create a sound that pays respect to the past, stands up to the present and will kick down the door to the future. A switchblade to the soft, white underbelly of today's watered-down state of music, DRIVE A are pure, raw energy - on stage and in the studio - which is, after all, what Rock 'N' Roll has always been about.
DRIVE A got its start when lead vocalist/guitarist Bruno Mascolo met rhythm guitarist Jason Nott outside of the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles in the spring of 2007. After discovering they had similar tastes in music, the two began formatting their ideas for a band, developing their own style and a bond was formed. Once they honed their approach, the two of them hooked up with Terry Stirling on drums, a couple of different bass players and began writing songs that had a remarkably developed blend of killer riffs, punk rock hooks, and a raw, Rock ‘N’ Roll gutter-snarl. Jumping in a van, the band took their high-energy live show on the road, performing well over 100 shows in just over a year including various stops on the 2008 Warped Tour, their own tour of the U.S., as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Rise Against, Papa Roach, Stone Temple Pilots, Anti-Flag, Pennywise and Billy Talent among others.
“It’s been amazing to go out and play with some of the bands that have influenced us in one way or another,” says Bruno Mascolo adding, ”I grew up listening to bands like Billy Talent, Anti-Flag, and Rise Against and now we are on the same bill with them, hanging out and seeing everything from the other side.”
Now, with the addition of their new bassist Chris Bowman, Drive A is set to release their debut album, Loss Of Desire. Years removed from the blank generation, generations X and Y, and even generation next, Loss Of Desire picks up the flag for a new generation, their generation, which is being pushed to the brink. Themes of disillusionment, frustration and, at times, anger are perfectly captured on tracks such as “Everyone’s Alone,” “Can’t Sleep It Off,” “Smiling With Hate,” and “It’s Getting Worse.”
“I think what sets us apart from a lot of bands out there right now is the fact that we are experiencing the exact same things as our fans and that’s what our songs are about, says guitarist Jason Nott. Bruno agrees, “The songs on this album are about being frustrated with a lot of things, most of the lyrics I write are personal, but I think anyone listening can relate to them in their own way. I leave it up to them to interpret what they are hearing.”
Produced by Drive A alongside Dennis Hill and Matt Sorum (Guns ‘N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver), Loss Of Desire serves as a sonic testament to what is new, what is now, and what is next, but it is their live show where Drive A will make its stand and they will have plenty of opportunities as the band is getting ready to get back in the van and hit the touring trail once again and they are not looking back.
“Touring is the life’s blood of this band,” says Mascolo. “Recording and everything else is cool, but we are a live band and that is the best way to experience Drive A.”
Already slated to appear on both Bamboozle Right & Left, dates on the Alternative Press Tour as well as slew of other live dates at home in the U.S. and overseas as well, the next year will be a busy one for this band of friends from Southern California. Something that seems to be no problem for Bruno Mascolo:
“This is it, this what I have always wanted to do and its something I love doing, what can be better than that.”

没有回复你能挺多久



我所在的网络世界已青年生力军为主
他们希望被人关注,希望得到支持甚至是追捧
就象我当年在学校里演讲一样,站在台上看到下面为你欢呼雀跃,热血永上心头,我他妈当时就是觉得自己“一言兴邦”

后来发现理想中的愿望和现实生活差距很大,这就是大家喜欢听成功人士讲座(访谈)的由来,道理谁都知道,你成功了你做的就对,也就是我们经常说的那句:胜者王侯败者寇

在现在的网络圈子里有一个不成文的成功定律,点击率决定一切
所以就出现了一堆喜欢挂牌坊当婊子的网络成功人士
到处已前辈的口味出现,告诉你应该如何做,他的道理很简单,“我有点击,我说的肯定没错”

你忘了自己如果按照别人的意图去做,你是无法超越那人的
历史可以证明,制度和法律都在变换,现在如果按照清朝的制度,我们的生活依然会很落后(我只是打个比方),历史上的谋杀,篡位......也没有相同的成功概率

所以说所有好的东西可以借鉴,但不可以照搬.....

我身边有很多朋友希望找到捷径,但都是转了一圈又回到原地
我只能说你和我没有这个头脑,运气不是每个人都有的,要讲缘分的,呵呵

你是否很脆弱,当你满腔热血投身到网络更新大军中,你的头脑是否一片空白
当没有支持没有回复的时候是不是感觉很茫然,是不是觉得自己象他妈煞笔一样.....
不好意思,这些感觉我都有过,哈哈

调整自己,没有过高的期望,自己会释然些,把所有的回复与支持当成是惊喜,意外小收获等等......

顺其自然莫强求,其实快乐很简单,也可以说快乐无处不在,只要换个角度看世界就可以了
回复不回复根本没什么,只要自己看得淡,生力军们调整好自己的心态,当你步入现实生活中,会发现这个世界和你想的完全不一样,甚至很残酷......

心态很重要,回复无所谓

看着恶心你可以无视此文章,但别回复恶心我,私人领地我没请你过来......

Eat The Gun - Super Pursuit Mode Aggressive Thrash Distortion

EAT THE GUN are back. Two years after releasing their first album “Cross Your Fingers“ the band from Münster/Germany strikes back with their brand-new record “Super Pursuit Mode Aggressive Thrash Distortion“! After five years of playing every stage that got in their way, EAT THE GUN have become harder, tighter, angrier, and wilder than ever before. “Cross Your Fingers“ was an archetypal Hard Rock album the band can be proud of, but all that was yesterday- Ladies and Gentlemen: EAT THE GUN!

Four years have passed since the production of “Cross Your Fingers“ and EAT THE GUN have played hundreds of shows in the meantime, while continually improving their musical output. In 2008 the bands' sound is not only fresher but surprisingly up-to-date - this is new millennium Rock ‘n‘ Roll! The music is characterized by a far more differentiated sound giving each instrument exactly the musical room it needs. To sum it up, here you've got three friends still rocking with stirring excitement and a newfound attitude that will fascinate every listener immediately!

The result: Eleven uncompromising rockets, recklessly shooting through the history of Rock ‘n‘ Roll music with sonic speed! Here is another proof of the fact that it doesn't need more than three rocking maniacs to play high energy Rock 'n' Roll with a pure heavy metal rooted attitude. Each song and the bands' sound have become harder, more aggressive and energetic while everything's less complicated and much groovier. Old fans will not be disappointed because EAT THE GUN remain true to themselves and their musical roots. The new songs' arrangements are far more to the point - underlined by the amazingly new in-your-face expressiveness of Hendrik's voice.

“Super Pursuit Mode Aggressive Thrash Distortion“ was produced together with skateboard legend, music producer and passionate musician Claus Grabke at the Claus Grabke Studios in Gütersloh, Germany. 36 recording days passed from the first chord to the finished master CD during which Claus Grabke and EAT THE GUN developed a teamwork that is unmistakable.

Another highlight of the album is doubtlessly the mid-tempo rocker “Wiser“ on which EAT THE GUN played their buddy-ace. The song features Henning Wehland (H-Blockx) and Ingo Knollmann (Donots), both friends of the band, and Claus Grabke himself as guest singers while Donots guitarist Guido and Hendrik recorded a guitar duel on top - a great honour for the band.

AIRLESS, founded in 2000, is a classy Hard Rock outfit from Spain imbued with the individualistic guitar skills of Robert Rodrigo. The band debuted for domestic label Vinny Records with a self-titled album in 2002 whilst their follow up, "2nd Round" saw release in 2005 by Lion Music. Now the band is back with “Fight”, an album with a slightly harder edge than before, and a rawer production which better represents their potent live show.

“Fight” is a more direct release than its predecessors and lyrically is a much more personal affair with vocalist Iñaki Lazkano’s words stemming from personal experience. The guitar work of Robert Rodrigo is as impressive as ever, being a veritable feast of guitar tricks and meaty hook filled riffs and a must hear for fans of Eddie Van Halen, Vito Bratta and Neal Schon. “Fight” is another display of guitar greatness from one of Spain’s leading rock guitar authorities. Airless also have the skills of rhythm section members Pako Martinez (drums) and Miguel Manjón (bass) who power the music along with solidity and authority. Fans of bands such as Harem Scarem and modern day Whitesnake will find much to enjoy on the bands third album.

In addition to the albums 11 tracks, there is the added bonus of a video clip for “Now Or Never”

On hearing "Empathy", Madonna sited Mandalay as her favourite band and chose the first single "This Life" to be featured on the film soundtrack for her film. "The Next Best Thing". "This Life" was also chosen to feature on the soundtrack to the hit British film "This Year's Love"
"a fusion of classical music, electronics and dance beats. Nicola Hitchcock's strange, emotive vocals seem to come from someone on the edge of a meltdown. The musical canvass paints a picture of a musical Ice Age to come." (NME singles review)
Many other Mandalay songs were featured on cult TV series' including "La Femme Nikita", "Six Feet Under" and "CSI Miami".

The third single "Beautiful" appeared on a number of chillout albums of the time including the world famous compilation series' "cafe del mar (vol 6)" and Hedkandi's "Serve Chilled". As a result Mandalay were invited to headline at the Cafe del mar 2oth anniversary celebrations in Ibiza in 2000. A sunset remix of "Beautiful" was recorded and mixed by Lenny Ibizarre, the leading chillout DJ/musician on the island. The song "Beautiful" went on to win a major advertising campaign (Estee Lauder, featuring Liz Hurley) and was chosen for the title track of German film "Der Eisbar". More recently "Beautiful" was covered by Sarah Brightman and released as the lead single for her hit album "Harem".

Mandalay's 2nd album "Instinct" was co-produced with Andy Bradfield (Everything But the Girl, Future Sound of London, Bjork) and Yoad Nevo (Jem)
".. draws inspiration from jazz and classical music to create resolutely elegant, affecting pop .... lush and expansive, Instinct's musical world is perfectly realised" (MK The Guardian).
The first single from this album "Deep Love" was remixed by Nitin Sawhney and Mandalay went on to support Nitin on his UK/London dates. Performances at Ibza's chillout festivals followed including "Las Dallias" and "Dreamdaze" culminating in a headline performance at The Big Chill UK, Sanctuary Stage.

A third album "Solace" followed, released exclusively in the US comprising a mix of tracks from Mandalay's two existing albums (both previously unavailable in the US) together with an 11 track remix album with contributions from Wagon Christ, Alex Reece and Charlie May. This marked the beginning of a growing success in America where "Solace" Soundscanned over 44,000 copies.

After Mandalay's demise, Nicola's song writing and vocal talents were sought by DJ Tiesto who chose her song "In My Memory" for his forthcoming album. With a deft remix from him, it became the title track and lead single for the album, the success of which led to a live performance by Nicola at the Dutch Music Awards in 2002.

During the last three years she has continued to be sought by artists/musicians/dj's contacting her via the internet and email with requests for possible collaborations and she found herself in the fortunate position of being able to choose who to work with ... and how ... and when ...... she began working on tracks from avant garde composers Hector Zazou, Ryuichi Sakomoto, Lenny Ibizarre and the underground artist & DJ Chris Brann (Wamdue Project, T'paah etc). The resulting album "Passive Aggressive" stands a collection of her favourite collaborations from this time and is the first release on her own label Tempted.

Lunascape - Reflecting Seyelence





乐队名称:Lunascape
专辑名称:Reflecting Seyelence
公司厂牌:Noir Records
风格类型:Trip Hop/Alternative/Electronica

Lunascape sound mixes catchy rhythms, ethereal samples and loops and rock Guitar, blended carefully with smooth melodies and Kyoko's enchanting voice. At the core of Lunascape are musicians Kyoko Baertsoen and Walter Hilhorst.

The duo originally met in 1993 at the Television and Film Academy in Brussels, Belgium and began to fiddle around with covers and some original material. In 1997, Kyoko was offered the spot of lead singer for Hooverphonic and her work with Walter was put on the back burner. After touring Europe extensively with Hooverphonic, Kyoko left the band and returned to her work with Walter; Lunascape was born.

Lunascape landed a record deal in 1998 and singles began to trickle out over the next few years. But it wasn't until 2002 that Lunascape's debut album Reflecting Seyelence was released, showcasing the group's ethereal blend of trip-hop, moody pop, and electronic textures framed by Baertsoen's lush vocals.

While the band was releasing singles in Europe, their first North American exposure came in an unusual way. In 2001, Kyoko starred alongside Harry Shearer in the IMAX 3-D film "Haunted Castle". Kyoko plays the part of The Mother and sings the Lunascape song "Lane Navachi". Kyoko became an underground cult figure. Fans uncovered Lunascape's European catalog and import versions began to sell in the US.

In 2003 Lunascape's fortunes took another unusual turn. Sinead O'Connor teamed up with Delerium's Rhys Fulber for his new project, Conjure One. The first single was a cover of Lunascape's "Tears From The Moon" Kyoko and Walter had worked on the song with famed producer Rick Nowels (Madonna, Dido) in his LA studio. Sinead and Rhys' version went to number 3 on Billboard's Dance Chart and hovered in the Top 5 for several weeks becoming a hallmark of dance clubs throughout the world in the Summer of 2003.

2004 marked Lunascape's return to the studio with their second release Mindstalking, as well as the score for another 3-D-Imax movie, "SOS Planet".

That year, Noir Records released an American compilation of their first two albums in under the name Reminiscence. This disc included remixes of their single "Mindstalking" and several video tracks.

Lunascape's new release is Innerside, twelve stunning new tracks, due out February 26th (February 29th EU). Innerside is also available as a two-disc limited edition release featuring an additional 10 previously unreleased tracks, including several from the tv series Flikken.
Lunascape Innerside: the inside has come outside: haunting melodies, deeply atmospheric soundscapes and Kyoko's angelic voice.

Jason Lytle first wandered into the public consciousness as the principal singer and songwriter for the band Grandaddy. Formed in Modesto, CA in 1992, and eventually consisting of Lytle along with Aaron Burtch, Tim Dryden, Jim Fairchild and Kevin Garcia, the band initially broke through with 1997's Under the Western Freeway and the NME-praised single "Summer Here Kids." The band's sound,” atmospheric electronics meet warped Americana”, crystallized on 2000's Sophtware Slump, which was met with breathless hype and earned the band "Next Big Thing" status. Tireless rounds of international touring and mountains of fawning press led to 2003's Sumday, increasing album sales, more touring, more press ,T.V.show appearances, and a slot on the main stage at the Glastonbury festival. The band produced another EP and an album entitled Just Like the Fambly Cat, before disbanding in 2006. Jason has gone on to create music for a number of national and international commercials and has recently finished his first solo album.He currently lives in Montana U.S.A.His interests include hiking in woods, skateboarding in skateparks, bicycling on anything, skiing on mountains,Playing the piano in his living room, and occasionally recording music………….and occasionally playing shows.
