September 28 ::What Else Is There?::最艰苦的一个月终于快要结束。很快，一切都会很快了。
The Knife won a Grammis award as best pop group of the year 2003, but they boycotted the ceremony by sending two representatives of another artist group dressed as gorillas with the number 50 written on their costumes. They did this as a protest against male dominance within the music industry. Their album Deep Cuts was also nominated for a Grammis as the best record of the year 2003, although that award went to The Cardigans.  September 02 ::BOSSA NOVA:: There are two places I want to go to right now: Ibiza, Espania Ipanema, Rio, Brazil Whenever I listen to Bossa Nova, I feel like I am lying on the sunny beach in Brazil...the blue sea waves gently breezing through my feet...You are sitting next to me, playing piano singing with the keys...take me, take me away, and forget all the gloomy. Bossa nova is a style of Brazilian music created by Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto and first introduced in Brazil by Gilberto's recording of "Chega de Saudade", in 1958, a song written by Antonio Carlos Jobim, first released as a single, and shortly thereafter as the album by Gilberto, bearing the same title as the song (1959). The music derives from samba but is more complex harmonically and less percussive. The influence on bossa nova of North American jazz styles such as cool jazz is often debated by historians and fans, but a similar "cool sensibility" is apparent. ::Girl From Ipanema::Bossa nova is most commonly performed on the nylon-string classical guitar, played finger style (without a pick). Though not as prominent as the guitar, the piano is another important instrument of bossa nova; Jobim wrote for the piano and performed on it for most of his own recordings. The piano has also served as a stylistic bridge between bossa nova and jazz, enabling a great deal of cross-pollination between the two. Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah When she walks, shes like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gently That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh (ooh) but I watch her so sadly How can I tell her I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely The girl from ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile - but she doesnt see (doesnt see) (she just doesnt see, she never sees me,...) |
