Tear Shedding Music

Santana - Lotus [Live]

pop music makes people cry because people get dumped or in love or whatever.
Santana's music brings out the tears of mine simply because it's some of the best music that's ever played. It's the music itself!


Go buy it now!

Here's the live clips from a gig in Japan. The lotus live is much much better!

My point exactly!

聲音的性質、以及對聲音性質的調變可能性並非可以無限被發現下去的，就像地球是圓的，表面廣大，但並非有無限的面積。當有人預言地球的外型時，他是一個重大的發現。但當人們終於環繞地球發現怎麼走都走不離地面時，他該作的是找新的探索方向，而不是哀歎離不開前人的發現... -- Wolfenstein

2006年9月，賈樟柯在威尼斯電影節獲得金獅獎
過去的一年裡，36歲的導演賈樟柯起碼有兩次吸引了公眾的目光。去年9月，他憑借電影《三峽好人》獲得威尼斯電影節金獅獎。年末，《三峽好人》與張藝謀執導的“大片”《滿城盡帶黃金甲》同期上映，隨即賈樟柯與《滿城盡帶黃金甲》制片人張偉平爆發論戰。
近日，賈樟柯接受本報獨家專訪，希望以更加嚴肅的討論表達其立場。

Daily Reading - Elitism

Elitism - Edward Winkleman

That outsider movement manifesto gave me not only a knee-jerk reaction, it almost broke my knee!

Anyway, good discussion in the comment area.

Artistic Expressions : 捍衛菁英

"Art begins with craft, and there is no art until the craft has been mastered. You can't create unless you're willing to subordinate creative impulse to the construction of form. But the learning of craft takes a long time, and we all think we're entitled to shortcuts.... Art is rare and sacred and hard work, and there ought to be a wall of fire around it." -- Anthony Burgess
