1.Mercy Arms:  http://www.myspace.com/mercyarms 澳洲乐队，大概是post-punk路线， 幸亏身上没有绵羊和袋鼠的气味， metro得很，其中一个成员好像还有易服癖。（其实易服癖也没关系，不过过了30岁就不要尝试了，我经常忘记人妖大叔NickyWire曾经是个中性的帅哥）

 

2.  The Asteroids Galaxy Tour: http://www.myspace.com/theasteroidsgalaxytour 丹麦的The Ting Tings, 单曲Around The Bends被用作ipod nano广告歌曲， 女主音是我印象中第一个上never mind the buzzcocks的北欧人。Myspace上的好友数到现在都还没有过万。 非Anglo－Saxon系国家出身的乐队总是容易被主流音乐媒体忽视（大概是因为主流音乐媒体皆由英美所把持），宣传不够的话恐怕有红歌不红band之虞。

 

3. Hunting the Minotaur (原名是Flavoured Country): http://www.myspace.com/huntingtheminotaur  以前同事签的乐队， 据称平均年龄只有16岁。 未有唱片合约。 曲风类似late of the pier，是当前阴国流行的nu-rave/indie/electro的路线，前途无可限量，问题是待他们完全成熟后这种曲风是否仍然流行。

 

4. 我不知道我是不喜欢深圳还是不喜欢这里的人，不喜欢这里的空气（出于一个呼吸道疾病患者的感触）是一定的了。 这里是我唯一的家。

1. 加上我的姓的话我的名字现在后面有3个MA了， Mr. Ziling MA  M.A. (London)

                                                                                                              M.A. (London).

 

2. 落下心头大石倒有些彻底失去方向的感觉， 庆幸自己狗屎运当头之余又有些失落。 天天沉溺在这座年轻躁动的都市，心中却没有一丝冲劲。 我的大脑大概是被亚热带的冬日腐蚀了，唯一令我想起阴国的是the Smiths的CD，窗外的住宅用楼宇工地让我想起我国的欣欣向荣， speaker里是Morrissey抱怨着阴国生活，我是在享受这种类似‘taken out of context’（断章取义？）的快感？还是挂念在伦敦没有家人在身边每天挤地铁的日子？ 和上次回来不同，除了空气质素， 购物环境， 文化氛围之外, 这个我出生的地方是越来越顺眼了。 干脆把回程机票也取消了吧， 真的好吗？

 

3. 唯一可以确认的是，我又少了一个理由做家里蹲了。

正当大家都已经都被了Blur一次又一次重组的'的消息弄得厌倦的时候, Graham Coxon 和 Damon Albarn这次终于玩真的了.

Graham Coxon的solo之路并不成功, Aex James自娱自乐地写自传做芝士参加reality show, Dave Rowntree的从政梦也石沉大海, Damon Albarn的音乐取样之路从非洲一直走到中国,终于绕回阴过来了,以下消息转自NME: 

 

Blur are reforming to play live next year, NME can exclusively reveal.

The full line-up – Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree – will play their first gigs together since guitarist Coxon quit the band in 2002.

Speaking only to NME in a world exclusive joint interview, Albarn and Coxon explained that they had put their differences behind them and were looking forward to playing live in 2009.

"It just felt it was right again," declared Albarn of Blur's return. "It somehow feels like there's something for us to do again, we're not completely useless or pointless, we've got a reason to exist."

Coxon agreed, explaining the band were "making public what's been going on a little bit privately. For the benefit of the fans and those interested we can say that something's on the cards".

What is on the cards is a headlining show in Hyde Park, London on Friday, July 3.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am (GMT) this Friday (December 12). To check the availability of Blur tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/GIGS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

There are also rumours of further dates, including a possible appearance at the 2009 Glastonbury festival.

However, while the band refused to confirm any other shows, Albarn promised fans around the UK that the band would be announcing some more shows.

"We'll do something in London because that seems sensible," he said, "but we're also playing in other parts of the country working up to there."
