Michael Jackson forever

This is the first time I don't want to face the truth: Our beloved King of Pop died at the age of 50.
All these years he had chosed to live a secret life and the world didn't hear anything from him. Fans all over the world keep waiting until he poped up early this year to introduce his proposed tour plans. Sadly he could not live long enough to sing and dance again on stage.

Michael, we all miss you.

2009期待新碟及書藉 (3,4月)

1) Nightwish - Made in Hong Kong (and in variuos other places) /11th March
- Symphonic metal

我是很喜歡gothic及symphonic metal的。去年買了 Within Temptation(荷蘭) 的 Live CD 《Black Symphony》由於音質和演繹比我想像中差,不太滿意。超受歡迎的Nightwish(芬蘭),今次的大碟是07年《Dark Passion Play》的現場版,最叫我期待是收錄了上次沒推出的一首歌《The Escapist》。
Nightwish去年來過香港演出,希望下次他們有機會再來吧。很多人不明白為何大碟取這個奇怪的名字,樂隊創作人Tuomas Holopainen說出原因,原來他們04年來過香港錄歌。
The Escapist:

2) Stolen Babies - Untitled Album
- Alternative, avant-garde metal, dark caberet
07年的最大發現,我愛極了這樂隊。他們的首張大碟,我的評價是A++。
女主音Dominque Persi的death screaming不比其他男歌手差,而且樂隊風格獨特,運用有趣的樂器、各種多樣性的元素,全碟貫切那種黑沉沉的嘉年華氣氛。

3) Alan Moore - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - 1910 / Mid April
- Graphic Novel
Alan Moore的漫畫多次改成賣座電影,但LXG卻是滑鐵盧,間接使辛康納利提早退休。這本是第4集了,由於脫離了DC comics/Americans Best Comics等公司,作者說創作變得更為自由。
