不爽啊

星期二是澡塘的第一天，下了自習，我飛快的沖回宿舍拿衣服又跑出去，路上才想起內褲沒了，幸好超市在旁邊，就拿了條最便宜的去付錢，那個售貨員竟然用冷冰冰的口氣看著內褲上的標簽又看著我說，看清楚了沒有，有型號的，拿錯了不得換，我忙說“沒錯看了的！上次買了你們兩條一盒的XL的，拿回去就穿了一次，實在太小！”
出來以後，心想自己竟然沒生氣，還跟她很認真的說，實在太不解氣了，上次買了兩條XL的，就穿了一天，走路都艱難，好像有人從後面伸手幫你托著跟著你走路一樣，我實在受不了，回來馬上脫了，一下子感覺自己好像腳變長了很多，穿不得又不好意思當抹布，只好狠心丟了，火大！
我覺得我剛才應該迅速的勃起，然後轉身的時候用那裏帶倒收銀機，頭也不回，然後用一副woody allen的賤相聳聳肩膀：“sorry,see what i mean?”
不爽。。。

Syphilis（Yesterday）

Syphilis
It just started with a simple kiss
Now it even hurts to take a piss
Oh how did I get syphilis.

Leprosy
I’m not half the man I used to be
Now my fingertips are leaving me
Oh I believe I’ve leprosy.

Why her box was sick
I don’t know, she would not say
Now my dripping dick won’t be hard like
Yesterday..ay..ay..ay
Yesterday
My cock was always coming out to play
Now it needs two weeks to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday,
I believe in yesterday.

Diahann Carroll, funny musical can anyone tell me where does this scene come from? however diahann's voice is lack of anything worthwhile to say, i don't think she is a gifted singer. i love this song because the lyrics is lively, the first time i listened to this song in a record it was sang by an anonymous japanese jazz vocalist in a 30's recorded compilation. it's a interesting and amazing thing to hear that the japanese femal singer articulated a very nice english voice!

Chicago

Chicago, Chicago
That toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago
I'll show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar
You'll lose the blues
In Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday
Could not shut down
On State Street, that great street
I just wanna say
They do thing's
They don't do on Broadway, say
They have the time
The time or their life
I saw a man
He danced with his wife
In Chicago, my home town
Chicago, Chicago
That toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago
I'll show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar
You'll lose the blues
In Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday
Could not shut down
On State Street, that great street
I just wanna say
They do thing's
They don't do on Broadway, say
They have the time
The time or their life
I saw a man
He danced with his wife
In Chicago
Chicago, my home home town

說說兩個我很喜歡的爵士女伶

blossom dearie !

最早聽過她的聲音是在“between the devil and the deep blue sea”,當時覺得非常的girlish!稚嫩、小心翼翼的樣子，每一句都唱的有點俏皮，又處理的幹淨利落，很有carmen mcrae的那種crisp feel,脆生生的，好喜歡。據說她的名字是因爲出生那天，鄰居帶了一束鮮花過來祝賀，該起什麽名字好呢？就叫blossom吧！父親是蘇格蘭－愛爾蘭後裔，母親是挪威移民，自小blossom就有過比較正統的音樂教育，高中畢業恰好是上世紀40年代，大樂隊風潮正盛，波譜樂還未取而代之的時候，一個中等編制的樂隊加上一個歌手的演出形式是當時的標准配置，或者稍微大點的樂隊，是一個明星歌手和一個聲部的合唱對唱，40年代可能算是人的演唱最後流行的年代，這個推斷有點草率，不過可以想見後面波譜樂的興起迅速改變了音樂的風向，人們的興趣逐漸的轉到更迅速更高難度的器樂演奏上去了，電影中的歌舞劇成分逐漸減少，可否這麽認爲，戰前（WW2）是美國的爵士樂形態影響著歐洲，戰後是歐洲的爵士樂更有新鮮感，更有活力進而影響著美國？這個問題比較複雜，以後再討論了。
年輕的blossom在紐約城的多個樂隊裏都演出過，最後在朋友的建議下跑到了巴黎來尋求發展，在一個叫做blue stars的合唱團裏待過，這段時期他們獲得了一些成功，但她的事業在遇到verve的老板norman granz以後才算是真正起航。是norman granz的大力支持讓blossom得以發行了自己的個人專輯，也讓美國人繞了一圈以後才知道了她。

carol sloane !

相比之下，carol sloane的經曆就沒有那麽順利，人生與事業的前半段用人們的話來說就是，“在路上”。父母親都是紡織廠的職工，親戚裏面也只有一個叔叔算是接受過正規的音樂教育，不過家裏的兄弟姐妹都遺傳了歌唱的天賦，carol sloane自小就在社區的樂隊裏演出。carol sloane年輕時代經曆坎坷，較早結婚，並和丈夫去了德國尋找成名的機會，幾年後返回美國，不久就離婚了。回到美國的相當長的一段時間，carol四處駐唱，一直沒有固定的工作，直到carol和一個名叫Larry Elgart的樂隊經理簽約並加入他們的樂隊。這是一個巡回演出的“公路”樂隊，是les和Larry兩兄弟創辦的小樂團，carol sloane在那段四處巡演，居無定所的時期爲了生活，還在政府登記的機構兼職做一些臨時的文秘工作，沒有名氣，沒有唱片合約，沒有錢。終于有天幸運來臨了，大名鼎鼎的老歌手jon hendricks在一次音樂節後找到了她，問她是否願意先學習他們的著名的三人合唱團Lambert, Hendricks & Ross的曲目，將來可能的話以頂替當時即將離開的annie rose。carol答應先學習他們的曲目，並繼續打工。LH&R的一次前衛村（village vanguard）酒吧的演出中，jon鼓勵carol上去自己唱幾首歌，carol獲得了平生最重要的機會，演出結束後，max gordan，也就是village vanguard的老板給了她演出合約，作爲oscar peterson的暖場，據carol回憶，那晚她是一路跳著舞回家的！
61年的新港爵士音樂節，在jon的大力推薦下，carol得以進入演出名單，做爲所謂“新星”（new star）那部分的演出。演出的那天，LH&R伴奏樂隊的鋼琴手gildo mahones抱怨自己不知道“Little Girl Blue”的獨奏部分旋律，結果carol自告奮勇，在演出的時候用清唱來代替鋼琴的演奏，一下子，紐約的樂評一下子好像找到了金子一樣，贊譽如潮，不久哥倫比亞唱片公司就和她簽約並迅速制作了她的第一張個人專輯，這個堅強的女人終于迎來了自己的事業的起航。carol的聲音有著極強的磁性，一聽就讓人忘不了，低沈卻不厚重，blossom dearie的聲音更細致，carol的聲音則略有點沙啞，卻一直保持張力，絕對沒有破音，難以描述，也是有點carmen macrae那種脆，蜻蜓點水般敏捷，但是卻沒有她那種“亮”，如果要拿樂器來形容的話，比如sarah vaughan是黃金小號，carol卻是打擊樂裏面的那種镲，不過是west coast jazz裏面鼓手常用小刷子輕輕的敲擊的那種聲音，用打擊樂器來形容人的聲音，確實很意外，但是卻十分的貼切呢！我手頭只有一張她的專輯《cottontail》，是和次中音薩斯風手Norris Turney（包括負責幾首曲子的笛子間奏）、鋼琴手Benny Aronov以及捷克斯洛伐克的移民，貝斯手George Mraz以及鼓手Joe Labarbera合作的，原錄制于1978，由choice公司發行，現在是japan import version，是一張好聽到讓你坐不住的唱片！第一次得到這張唱片的時候我除了George Mraz和鼓手Joe Labarbera以外，對其他名字都十分陌生，然而對George Mraz的印象也不是出現在這樣一種風格的音樂中間，聽了以後我承認，這張唱片一定是我的所謂desert island cd!沒有費勁“時髦”的前衛與即興，從選曲到演唱，這都是一張稍帶流行的專輯，但是carol的風格是如此的酷！其他樂手的發揮是如此的和諧！是一張香氣四溢的專輯！

the jitterbug dance,delete scene

(excerpt from youtube)

this is "behind the camera" footage of the Jitterbug scene that went lost after being cut from the film.

download clip:
http://www.mulholland-drive.net/clips/jitterbug.wmv

The film originally contained an elaborate production number called "The Jitter Bug", which cost $80,000 and took five weeks to shoot, only to be cut after the first preview. In the scene, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly lion, and the Tin Woodsman are on their way to the Witch's castle when they are attacked by "jitter bugs" - furry pink and blue mosquito-like "rascals" that give one "the jitters" as they buzz about in the air. When, after its preview, the movie was judged too long, MGM officials decided to sacrifice the "Jitter Bug" scene. The reasoned that it added little to the plot and, because a dance by the same name had just become popular, they feared it might date the picture.
The Witch still refers to the bug in the final film, just before telling the Monkeys to "Fly!" Only home movies of the filming of "The Jitterbug" survive, though the song is on current versions of both the soundtrack CD and the recent anniversary edition videotape. The sequence was also incorporated into a recent stage version of the musical.

If you want to know how Dorothy thwarted the Wicked Witch's 'dancing with the stars'-style plot, you can read the script for the scene here

friend of mine

a friend from childhood, fat & smart guy of physics department of peking university, is about to go to CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research) for one year research. university education in china mainland is being scolding for the cultivation of only work skills by more and more people. since the pressure of unemployment has been the most threat that even the freshman had when they spent their first year in campus, it isn't hard to forsee the trend and, the teacher, i mean the professors can't be absence for this circumstance. there is few department or college, especially of science and technology now doing 'real' researches, that do nothing of what the current commercial sociaty is fascinated about, or is not part of a commercial contract. professors who do not let his student work for his bussiness as an employee(low paid or even for zero!) is because he teach chinese literature or something like that(yet some famous ones teach outside campus to earn money).
so when my friend told me that he is still doing research, i almost envy him. "how about going to work?" once i asked him, "matter of time you know, everyone is got to work, now i have not planned for it yet, all i am thinking about is for my presentation of my recent paper, maybe i have to celebrate a spring fest abroad alone without my family.
