All Stars Sing Yuming 荒井由実

很久沒聽過Janis Ian 的歌了，這次把荒井由实(松任谷由实未披嫁衣前的名字)年代推出的作品，親自操刀改成英文歌曲，調子第一次聽便已經洗腦了，再加上那緬懷過去回憶的歌詞，未來數月肯定會不停的選播吧！
She might not been active in the pop world. But Janis Ian does not leave her song writing skills behind. On this Yuming complication cover CD. She written a new lyric on this song from Yuming earlier career as she still call here maiden name Yumi Arai. Ear worm melody with the catchy lyric, into my playlist without a doubt

腦

從某Blog友上看到

有腦袋的人不用鋒芒畢露來告訴人家自己有多聰明，沒腦袋的人只會告訴人家自己聰明來引證自己的愚蠢。有腦袋的人只會擔心自己才疏學淺，沒腦袋的人只會抱怨自己懷才不遇。

By Sun Sun (Thanks, not get your permission first and already used it, hope it is alright)

看完後想到某些膚淺的人的想法....  我會改成

有腦袋的人不用別人開口表揚來告訴人家自己多有材能，沒腦袋的人只會要開口告訴人家自己材能來引証自己的能力。

有腦袋的人只會擔心自己技不如人，沒腦袋的人只會抱怨自己沒人欣賞。

哈哈哈哈，各位有腦的，沒腦的，共勉之!

Mary Chapin Carpenter.......

很喜歡逛信和的二手CD店，因為久不久會為自己帶來驚喜，一張2004年的CD，Mary Chapin Carpenter的Between Here And Gone. 不只是十九蚊的價值問題，而是要在香港找她的唱片也不是易事！
Really enjoy strolling in the second hand store in Sino Center. Cos it brings surprise all the time. A 2004 released from Mary Chapin Carpenter for only 19 dollars. It's not about the money value, to find her CD in Hong Kong is not an easy task!
Mir gefällt so sehr, die gebracht CD Laden in Sino Center zu bummeln, weil es mir immer Überrachung bringt. Eine CD von 2004, Between Here and Gone (Zwischen Hier und Vorbei) von Mary Chapin Carpenter kostet nur HKD19. Es ist nicht wegen des Werts. Es ist einfach schwierig, ihre CD in Hongkong zu kriegen.

Kim Wilde - Another Step (Re-mastered Japanese Only Editiion)

1987~年數碼音樂剛剛萌芽，我擁有的第一張數碼雷射光碟便是Kim Wilde這張Another Step. 這次來日本之前剛好看到日本方面今年會以原裝黑膠碟形式再發行這張CD，日前正當我迷失在日本街頭時碰到Tower Records的熟悉標誌，亦發現這CD原來已經上架，可以想像我當時興奮的心情!

It was 1987 when digital music just blooming. The very first compact disc I own was this Another Step from Kim Wilde. Before this trip I learned from the web that Japan will re-released this CD in its original vinyl design. Two days ago, as I lost myself in the street of Japan, I bumped into the familiar sign of Tower Records. Also found this album is already on sale. You can guess how excited I was!

Laura Pausini

18 years ago while she was only 19, she released her debut CD simply called Laura Pausini. She then became an overnight success all over Europe. Now she has her 10th Italian studio CD released, a deluxe version even contained the whole Spanish CD. What a great bargain.
十八年前當時只有十九歲的她推出了個人第一張同名CD Laura Pausini，頓時在全歐洲紅爆了，去年年尾推出個人第十張意大利文專輯，豪華版更連西班牙文的同張CD包括在內，唔買對唔住自己！

Do They Know It's Christmas?

Since 1984, when Christmas time comes, this song will come to my mind. 27 years past on, there's still hunger not just in Africa, but all around the world, even in our prosperous Great Nation. The message of this song is strong. There are people out there who needs our help and we cannot play blind and pretend not to see it. This song I dedicate to those who never heard of Christmas and they will hear it in their heart. Have a Merry Christmas!
打從1984年開始每年的聖誔我的心都會響起這首歌,27個寒暑已過,肌荒仍在,即使富裕國家也有無數人在捱餓.很多謝這歌帶出的一個信息,在我們所居住的地球上總有人需要有心人的幫助,我們豈可坐視不理. 我懇將這歌送给從未過過聖誔節的人收聽,願他們在心中也感受到那份暖意. 聖誔快樂!

Dave Aude and Alphaville

Dave is one of the hottest remix DJs in the pop world nowadays. His works including many hits from Gaga (Poker Face, Love Game, Bad Romance, Alejandro, Paparazzi), Sun's Fancy Free, Ono's Give me something, La Roux's Bullet Proof and even the latest from Sarah McLachlan's Loving You Is Easy is also by his golden hand.

I love his remixes a lot. It bring those song a full body of energy and I always feel like clouds are coming in and floating above me. I found out it's the beat he specially added on to those songs that attract me and I got a feeling that this sound are so familiar to me.

Not long after then I took out an old CD I really really like in the 80's. It was from a German band call Alphaville. From their not so commercially successful CD call "Afternoon in Utopia" There is a single call "Universial Daddy" that provided me with the answer. The back bone of the songs is base on some beat which sound exactly the same in some of Dave remix. Some are modified. But still can find the similarity among them.
