我聽Ingrid Michaelson、艾青

我喜歡聽音樂，類別也很廣。


偶爾會發現很好聽卻很冷門〈應該是說唱片公司不大宣傳〉的歌手還有
作品，Ingrid Michaelson就是其中一位。


Ingrid Michaelson是紐約人，音樂被歸類為Indie pop，這裡[1]有更
詳細的介紹。我第一次聽到她的作品，就是"The way I am"，是在車上
聽廣播聽到的。當下就覺得曲風很舒服，歌詞也很俏皮。可惜後來趕著
去吃飯，吃飽後也就忘了去找她的專輯。隔了兩三個月後，有天上網看
到音樂錄影帶，才想起來這麼一回事。

The way I am 歌詞[3]

Written by Ingrid Michaelson

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am


過了不久，I.M.出了第二張專輯。當中，我很喜歡"You and I"這首歌;
曲風輕快，詞也很可愛，尤其是後半段，買房子跟背景中的拍手還有
跺地，真是意想不到的搭配。


比較美中不足的，是這首"You and I"並沒有拍攝音樂錄影帶。不過我
在網路上找到歌迷自己配的版本，很可愛的版本。

You and I 歌詞[3]

Written by Ingrid Michaelson

Don't you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do want bunnies do with you if you know what I mean

Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the shelf

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I


順帶一提，我今天發現有個歌手叫艾青，她的作品中有些曲風和I.M.的
很像。我很喜歡"My Angel"這首歌，底下有這首的demo音樂影片。

我看NBA。打錯電話

我看NBA


隔了一個月後，又去MN看了場NBA。在比賽開始之前，和在當地工作的
朋友碰面吃了午餐；日本料理：Akita Sushi & Hibachi。


我們是吃它的吃到飽方案，採點餐式。點了許多小鎮吃不到的：壽司、
手卷、生魚片、炸物、沙拉、其他熱食等。其中讓我印象深刻的是海帶
沙拉，清淡又爽口，加點了不止一次。


整體來說，食物很新鮮，出菜速度很快，服務人員態度也很棒。順帶一
提，在朋友的推荐下，我們嘗試了Sake Bomb。這是一杯Sake跟一杯啤
酒混和，然後快速喝下。這裡[1]有更詳細的介紹，還有影片示範[2]。
因為是用餐前上的，空腹喝感覺後勁很強。


吃完飯後，我們參觀了一下朋友的新公寓，還在他家打了一下新的PS3
遊戲。等我們到球場的時候，已經是比賽開始前的半個小時，啦啦隊也
出來跟球迷互動、照相。

雖然這場比賽兩隊的主力中鋒都受傷不能上場，不過比分一直都很接近
，我是覺得比上一次來看精彩多了！



打錯電話


時下大部分的人應該都把電話號碼儲存在手機的電話簿中吧，所以也鮮
少發生打錯電話。

Anyway，我想說的是，我前幾天收到了兩通打錯電話的來電：早上下
午各一通，不過是同一個人。不過第二次一接通，對方馬上就意識到又
打錯，匆匆說了抱歉就掰掰。想想還蠻有趣的。
