MJ走了，该缅怀他的人缅怀了，不该缅怀他的人也缅怀了。爱他的人悲伤了，不认识他的人也悲伤了。知道他故事的人痛心疾首，不知道他故事的人也假装痛心疾首了。这个夏天，很多重要的人走了。留给我们很多的遗憾，悲伤，当然也会有希望。

又开始看书，总是抱怨空调不能让我很顺畅的阅读，其实问题出在自己的短板，没什么耐性。看多看少总是看，之前恬不知耻的引用那“沉默的大多数”，我那会跟本就还没看过那篇，直到今天，看到了，才发现也许用的不是地方。

高晓松说自己只跟知识分子交流，知识分子是个必须的条件，很高傲。我没那么高傲，但也有一些狗屁毛病，交流这是都是出自自觉自愿，我觉得你是个屁，你也可以觉得我是个屁，既然这样就完全可以老死不相往来，不要互相找不痛快。

写不完了，要去看电视，明天再说吧，柜机后天也可以安装了，温度适宜了，可以写写读书笔记，至少比那些乱七八糟的牢骚有意思得多。

以上。

Well, that didn’t take long. The good people at Nah Right point us toward this tribute mix put together by DJs Skee and Khalil, featuring The Game, Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher and Boyz II Men.

Better on the other side:

Lyrics:

[Diddy talking]
I remember the first time i seen you moonwalk,
I believed I could do anything,
you made the world dance,
you made the music come to life

[Chris brown - Chorus]
This the type of song that make the angels cry,
i look up in the sky and i wonder why?
why you had to go, go
I know its better on the other side,
you were chosen from the start
never gon let you go,

[The Game]
Whos Michael Jackson,
Your Michael Jackson,
Im Michael Jackson,
We all Michael Jackson,
I guess what Im asking is everybody bow their head for a legend dont breathe for a second,
now let the air out, grab the hand of somebody you care about,
so you can hear my message, my confession,
someone tell Usher, i seen the moonwalk, i guess the young thriller touched him, like he touched me, like he touched you,
so carry on his legacy, something i must do, so i trust you lighting candles, concrete visuals, me and my brothers listen to jackson 5 in the living room,
first thing i did when i heard was call puff,
cos him and Mike tried to stop the beef between us,
who was us? Me and fifty, that beef is dead, him and Mike Jackson gonna take us to the ledge.

[Chorus]

As Im pouring out this liquor candles start to flicker,
when list (?) my air ones, MJ was my nier.
Not the one that play ball, the one with the hollywood star,
and since im a hollywood star imma tell you my story,
never had a family that close, never see Barry Gordy walking through interscope,
just like me they always had Mike in a scope,
no matter what you say,
imma love him and hes still dope,
let me take you back to 85 when i was in a zone, dancing for my momma thriller jacket with all the zippers on,
now im doing 90 bout to crash in this Aston,
listening to Outcast, Im sorry Mrs Jackson
anything i can ever do to better you your son was our king so we wont Corretta you,
Im writing this letter to all the Jackson kids, we all Jackson kids, time to let us through.

[Chorus]

[Boys II Men]
This the kind of song that make the angels cry,
look up in the sky and ask God, why o why why
Do we live and let die
This the kind of song that make the angels cry,
look up in the sky and ask God, why o why why
Do we live and let, live and let die.
[End]

09年MTV颁奖的时候Nas说自己要和Damian Marley在六月发行新专辑《Distant Relatives》（《远亲》），六月马上就要过去了，一个试听版本的As We Are今天流出，大概也就意味着离发行日期越来越近了，60秒。听听看。

6.27更新Kanye West上放出的preview视频，有兴趣的看一下。

The album’s content will heavily revolve around Africa, from ancestry and poverty. The duo worked to maintain the theme, which will contain samples from African music.The album will offer their social commentary of the United States and Africa.<Wikipedia.org>

Nas & Damian Marley – As We Are

Background Prerview:

Quincy Jones:“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80’s. To this day, the music we created together on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

Elizabeth Taylor: “I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words.”

Rest in peace, Michael.

Music And Me
　　Michael Jackson
　　

We’ve been together for such a long time now
Music music and me
Don’t care whether all our songs rhyme
Now music
Music and me
　　
Only know wherever I go
Were as close as two friends can be
There have been others
But never two lovers
Now music
Music and me
　　
Grab a song and come along
You can sing your melody
A world of sweet harmony
　　
Birds of a feather will fly together
Now music music and me
Music and me

C-Sick, 90后，只有18岁今年。参加了2009年美国红牛举办的“Big Tune”比赛，beat battle。最后胜出。Nas的最新单曲则由他一手操办。

直接听曲子，看图片，学英文吧。

对了，C-Sick不是黑人。

创作背景，引用自MySpace：

A seasoned hip-hop vet welcomes a rookie into the game

Self-proclaimed “’90s baby” Charles “C-Sick” Dumazer is an unashamed product of the Internet era.

At only 18 years old, this emerging hip-hop beatmaker out of Chicago never learned how to use an ASR or MPC or even how to dig for vinyl. “I’m just very digital—very digital,” says the reserved producer who searches for songs and sounds on Google to sample. But in just a little over two years since producing his first beats on the demo version of Fruity Loops Studios, C-Sick already finds himself sitting across from legendary hip-hop lyricist Nas, ready to record his first commercial single.

The rookie’s rise to such a notable collaboration didn’t exactly fall in his lap. This high school senior has proven to be a fast learner and is beginning to pay his dues working with local MCs like Peeda Pan and GLC. And it’s his lifetime exposure to hip-hop and all music—first in the South of France then in the South Side of Chicago—that has helped him develop an ear for quality, sample-based tracks. In particular Chicago juke is the high-bpm sound that help shape the producer’s initial work. “When I came to Chicago [at age 10], juke music was always around me,” he says. “It was like a culture, it was a lifestyle, and you couldn’t be away from it.”

The beats that won C-Sick the Chicago leg of Red Bull Big Tune beat battle last year and the finals in New York weren’t entirely juke-heavy, though. Instead, the then 17-year-old captured the crowd with his mid-tempo heaters, which were a mix of bouncy soul-backed beats and heavy-hitting Just Blaze–inspired backdrops. “I’m trying to be creative and try to bring our [Chicago] flavor in producing ‘cause we sample just like on the East Coast a lot, but there’s always a little twist to it,” he says.

On a cool April night at Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica, Calif., C-Sick’s ability to meld classic East Coast sample-based sensibilities with Chicago’s penchant for percussion is proving to be a formula that even Nas can appreciate. As part of C-Sick’s prize for winning Big Tune 2008, he was awarded the opportunity to work with the Queensbridge-bred MC. And now he’s playing beats for Nas off of FL Studios 7 on his Toshiba laptop that sound impressive booming from the Genelec speakers.

While Nas was sent some of C-Sick’s beats ahead of time, the instrumental that was ultimately chosen was selected on the spot. As Nas recalls of the process, “Everything he’s playing me is good, but he told me he had something that he had just made for me—a beat that he really heard me on.”

That custom beat didn’t have the robust quality of the tracks he played at Red Bull Big Tune—instead, it was a crisp, emotive instrumental featuring subtle strings and guitar samples. When I talk to C-Sick about the choice, we both agree that it’s the perfect beat for Nas. C-Sick explains that the track wasn’t that heavy because he wanted to let Nas’ signature vocals complete the song. “His flow is a melody,” the producer says. “When I made the beat, I thought of Nas—I needed that extra melody.”

Before the recording could commence, C-Sick had to get a crash course in live production. Coming from a self-taught, laptop-based production experience, he was a little lost initially when Big Tune co-founders and session assistants Jake One and Vitamin D told him that the bass on the beat wasn’t going to work and that he needed to replace it using a synth. But after Vitamin set up an M-Audio Axiom 49, C-Sick quickly got in the zone, played the proper keys and the single was on its way.

When asking Nas about the analog era of recording and how he feels about the difference of working with computer-exclusive producers such as C-Sick, he actually prefers the efficiency of digital technology. “With digital, it’s a lot faster, it’s a lot easier—so it’s all good,” Nas says. “There’s probably a sound difference between digital and analog, but I haven’t figured it out yet so I just keep it moving.”

At the end of day, Nas hit the nail on the head. The fact the C-Sick hadn’t used any physical production equipment is irrelevant—it’s what comes from his work on FL Studios or whatever platform he uses that counts. Since Nas has already expressed interest in working with the rookie again, clearly C-Sick is onto something.

At one point in the night I ask C-Sick if he’s overwhelmed by the thought of using Digidesign Pro Tools and a gigantic Solid State Logic console like the one at Red Bull, and while humble, he also seems ready for anything. “I’m sure I’ll be able to pick it up,” he says. “Pro Tools could be the same way [as learning FL Studios]. It’d be like riding a bike, really.”

曾轶可，这是超级女声，这么多年以来，唱歌最有诚意，自己的作品最能感动人的参赛者。沈黎晖是个神秘的人，很多热爱摇滚乐的年轻人，最近这十年，都跟着他的摩登天空一起走来。不再赘述这些。再仔细听听她的声音，有点像陈绮贞，或是范晓萱。当然，她唱得的确不符合主流声音的审美需求。Bob Dylan也不符合，你能说他不牛逼么？

我不知道怎么形容曾轶可的音乐，还有她的歌词以及很多人不满的歌声。让人想到了铁皮鼓之类的种种。歌词流露出来的，当年你我都曾拥有的感受，那么真挚。或许太不精致，然而能够感动人，不就足够了么？不废话了，听。

曾轶可 – 最天使

最好的那个天使 我最熟悉的字是你的名字
我们会有大大的房子 你会送我一首小诗
最坏的那个天使 我最爱画的就是你的样子
我们守着距离拉成的相思 温柔着彼此的言辞
我最爱的就是那个天使 爱到可以去死
爱到整个世界 灯全熄灭 最后还要给你体贴
我最恨的就是那个天使 恨到可以去死
恨到快把自己的全部忘记 最后还要刺青铭记
最恨你 那么久都不来见我一次
最爱你 当远处传来你的相思
最容易想起 最难忘记
最想要得到 最害怕失去
最初的陪伴 最后的需要
最远的距离 最近的心跳
最后 我说了我恨你
可是我恨你 就是我爱你

—————-
曾轶可 – 你是我最好的朋友

也对 海的思念延绵不绝
没错 日出日落那么洒脱
听我说 听我唱 我不要随声附和
海边陪我日出日落 很久
走不出他的世界 别笑我
你不懂我的感觉
快走开 别理我 这样累了累了就睡了
那不是我 那不是我 你只是道听途说
我面对着大海 我敞不开胸怀
我否定了一切 本该有的对白
Can you, stay with me all the time, all the time, all the time…
不要来爱我 也请别抛弃我
不要告诉别人 我的诉说
拉钩 以后 你是我最好的朋友

挺意外的。省了1000多挖。开心。每年坏几天，然后让我免费用剩下的360天。年年如此多好呃。

Twitter解封了，时隔好几天我才知道，这充分的说明了我不怎么用它。原因很简单就是没什么人在follow，我也没有目标去follow。真是很尴尬。还有就是Douban，总想好好用它，可又没有那个耐心在那边繁琐的更新自己的状态，听了什么CD看了什么电影读了什么书。完全曝光自己的每个方面。现在也就是拿来当半个wikipedia用。唯独每天在上的只有开心网，也就是种种菜偷偷奶，里面的游戏也都玩爆了，没有了乐趣。

总的来说就是很难在网络上寻找到新鲜点了，花费几十分钟得到一个未知的消息似乎有点浪费生命。Google各种东西也基本都是浪费时间。在网上，究竟做点什么才能很好的利用这些时间，实在是个问题。

说实在的，有点烦了，各种各样的。没人想跟我沟通，我也不想与别人沟通，自闭了。

以上。
