The Billboard
Writing one perfect album is hard enough. But nine? Come on! Who else in the history of recorded sound has even dared reach such a milestone? Neil Young? Bob Dylan? Herb Alpert? Tiny Tim? Throw out greatest-hits packages, and you've got maybe HALF a decent album among them! No, the only band to have hit the nine-album mark without so much as a bum note is Denton, Texas' Bowling for Soup. And there's no debating those stats, so don't even try!

As usual, Bowling ForSoup's ninth full-length, The Great Burrito Extortion Case, is the best album anyone will release this year. It's got hits! It's got hooks! It's got hidden messages! Well, okay, it doesn't have any hidden messages, but it does have something no other album of the past 10 years (or 20; was there even music that long ago?) has dared to offer. It has more undiluted HAPPINESS per song than should be legally allowed by law.（哈哈，笑死我了） Seriously, do you think Bowling for Soup called their summer 2006 tour “The Get Happy Tour” for nothing?

We know what you’re thinking: “Bowling for Soup is just some big, famous, Grammy-nominated pop-punk act; aren't those bands all just way too happy for their own good?” Nice try, Einstein, but have you ever actually listened to those other bands? Didn’t think so!The Halloween hair, the woe-is-me lyrics, the melo dramatic MySpace blogs… It’s no wonder so many of our children are on anti-depressants. How else to survive a trip to the record store these days？

“We calculated it, and there are at least 12 verses' worth of total joy for every sort-of-sad chorus about an ex-girlfriend on this record,” says singer/guitarist Jaret Reddick, who formed Bowling for Soup in 1994 and today rounds out the band with guitarist Chris Burney, bassist Erik Chandler and drummer Gary Wiseman. And Jaret should know something about calculating – he's got two collegede grees! Okay, so maybe he never did that well in math, but the point is, this is a man who understands the epidemic of sadness in modern rock music and is trying to DO something about it. （Bowling for Soup I LOVE YOU）Put THAT in your coffin and cry over it, My Chemical whatever-your-name-is!

Of course, to make the world’s happiest album, you can’t just puta few major chords together and slap a smiley face on the thing. You’ve got to do your homework – and besides knocking out the 2005 compilation of TV- and movie-theme covers Bowling For Soup Goes To The Movies, that's just what Bowling For Soup did between their last proper album, 2004's gold-certified A Hangover You Don’t Deserve, and The Great Burrito Extortion Case. For instance, did you know that Denmark is the happiest place on Earth?Seriously, some big-time British scientist even proved it this year. Well, guess who was on the case FIRST?!

“You mean someone actually put that s**t into a scientific formula?” Jaret asks incredulously. “Man, we only had to have ourtour bus break down in Denmark to know it’d be the right place tomake this record.” Infact, the band originally wanted to call Burrito’s happiest song“I’m Lykkelig” in homage to their stopover in the land of many windmills, but in the end, they wisely chose a more universal title. “See, ‘lykkelig’ means ‘happy’ in Danish,” explains Jaret, who also speaks Mandarin, Urdu, and the fictional Star Wars language Huttese, “ but as we looked back at the roots of the word‘happy,’ we were able to trace it all the way back the 12th century, when it collided with the French gai to become, well,‘gay.’”（哈哈哈。。肚子都疼死了。。。。）

Wow! Thanks for the etymology lesson, Jaret – but all YOU really need to know is that“I’m Gay,” as the song today appears on The Great Burrito Extortion Case, is the single happiest – no, make that gayest – song of 2006. It’s also abona-fide anthem, and, yes, there will be tests on this stuff later, so commit those lyrics to memory and get GAY already!

Jaret estimates that, between trips to Denmark, Disneyland, and the certified-happy South Pacific Ocean archipelago of Vanuatu, Bowling for Soup spent at least nine months and 750 million frequent-flyer miles writing the more than 60 songs they’d eventually pare down into The Great Burrito Extortion Case’s glorious final 14. Largely self-producing the album at studios in Atlanta, Los Angeles and some kid's house in Nanty Glo,Pennsylvania (“It just sounded like a happy place,” says Jaret),the band even invited self-help guru Tony Robbins for a vocalcameo, figuring he'd really push the album over the top intofull-on zeitgeist-shaping motivational force. “Turns out he'd been contracted by some death-metal band from Florida,” Jaretrecalls with some regret, “so I called up my friend Adam[Schlesinger] from Fountains Of Wayne instead. Same difference,really.”

And trust us:If you thought Hangover’s omnipresent hit single “1985” was ridiculously upbeat (English rock legend Richard Thompson even named it “one of the best songs of the past 1,000 years!”), it sounds like death metal compared to the Banana Splits-meet-Green Day vibe of Burrito’s first single, “High School Never Ends.”（哈哈哈哈。。。） And if the RIAA thought enough of “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” (from 2002’s Drunk Enough To Dance) to nominate it for a “Best Performance Pop” Grammy in 2003, well,watch out, Junior: They’re gonna need to create a whole new CATEGORY to make room for sure fire hits such as “Val Kilmer,”“Luckiest Loser” and, well… pick one!!!

Heck, it’s a testament to Bowling For Soup’s vision that even the bum-outs on Burrito sound happy! “99Biker Friends,” a rollicking, sing-along statement on domestic abuse, finds the band and their so-named biker buds ganging up to defend a female friend’s honor. “When We Die” (co-written withproducer/musician/sharp-dressed man extraordinaire Butch Walker), despite its bittersweet acoustic guitar, is the rare jilted-ex tune that makes the protagonist accountable for his screwups. And “A Friendly Goodbye,” one of many instant-classic F-off songs on the album, cleverly hides its dirty words in a string of clean epithets. In other words, kids, this stuff’s hotter than H-E-double hockey sticks!

Ask anyone who remembers Bowling For Soup before the band’s JiveRecords days, when they were just a scrappy cult favorite handing out demos in the summer heat of Warped Tour, and they’ll tell you:For all the guerilla-style self-promotion these guys did just toget their music heard outside of the Lone Star State, they have every right to be cynical about the industry that’s finally embraced them. But for crying out loud, that’s just not the case– in fact, they’re happier than the Partridge Family these days!

Jaret explains: “This is gonna sound corny, but the thing that’s kept us psyched about playing music – besides all the free beer – isn’t fame or fortune or hit songs.It’s that we never lost that feeling of excitement we had the first time we sat down to write something together. You look at this band anytime from then to now, and we’re basically the same: just a bunch of fun, beer-drinking fan-boys from Texas who got lucky. The fact that we’ve been able to parlay that into something that makes other people happy is payment initself.”

He burps, then pauses to reflect. “Between you and me, that’s the first time I’ve used the word ‘parlay’ since college.”

哈哈。。爱死你们了

本人认为她很好看，声音淳厚，和黑人女歌手有一拼。

今天才发现是她唱的《Reflection》

虽然也是刚刚了解到她，不过也不晚～学海无涯！呵呵

另外水一句：为什么像专辑什么的刚一发行中国网上便很快会有，而电影漫画却不是这样？版权问题吧OTL

至今没看到《Keroro军曹》第一部剧场版，第二部已经完成了。怨念。

2006-10-17《幻想曲2000》之——《蓝色狂想曲》 - [~音乐推荐~]

今天早上听FM97.4的时候介绍乔治·格什温。神经粗的我，一开始也没认出他是谁。

乔治·格什温（作曲家）
格什温于一八九八年生于纽约布鲁克林，一九三七年卒于好莱坞。与其他许多作曲家不一样，格什温是在轻音乐的传统中成长起来的。他在十八岁时就以写作歌曲出名，如歌曲《斯旺尼》和音乐喜剧《拉拉露西尔》。但是使他立足于严肃音乐作曲家之列的是《蓝色狂想曲》。后来他的作—品中著名的有F大调钢琴协奏曲、《一个美国人在巴黎》以及歌剧《波吉与贝丝》。

直到最后播放了他创作的《蓝色狂想曲》，我才想起来小时候看的动画片，《幻想曲2000》中的一个故事。那个小故事大概是关于纽约市中，不同的人（工作的累死了的年轻人，离开忙碌的父母的女孩，很有玩心却被妻子指使的丈夫，失业的中年人，），在恰巧的时机下，被联系起来了，从而改变了自己当日的命运。我概括的不太好，希望大家有机会的都去看。
《幻想去2000》由八段不同曲目的音乐配上动画师根据音乐想像出的故事合成。

本片是迪士尼电影公司重新整理编撰1940年的「幻想曲」故事而成，其中包括一段旧「幻想曲」中的米老鼠变魔术的段落，而其他七个段落全是2000年崭新的创作。这次唐老鸭也如愿以偿当上主角,主演一段由诺亚方舟改编的故事。

各个段落的故事可看见动画创作者天马行空的想像力，内容包罗万象，有飞天的鲸鱼，有调皮的火鹤，为爱牺牲的玩具小士兵，现代纽约的日常生活以及带来满山春意的春神等等，各成一格，风格迥异。是喜爱古典乐的成人视觉上的一顿飨宴。
发现这电影算是我最爱之一，纪念一下。
