Been quite busy, finals, papers and shit.<br />Been kinda agitated about the whole 'about to graduate. must find good internship.' thing. i'm a junior but people are already freakin' out about internships cause when senior year starts, people will already start getting job offers by october. fuckers.<br />this is the 1st time in my life that i feel like i can't see my future. in high school, you know you're heading to college. i know that i'm heading towards a job, but i just can't see what kinda job i'm gonna do. i can't do much with my anthro major in hk and that's where i wanna live, at least for now. so i'm taking finance right now. not interested in it at all.<br />and i just got an interview for a world music director position at the radio station, not sure how well it went. i applied for music director (who looks over indie rock/pop stuff) and didn't get it. was a sucker punch to the stomach. so i'm not going to hold high hopes for this one. but the truth is, i really want/need a leadership position.<br />planning your life out and staying on track is overrated. but i can't helpt it because i'm the one whose most 'on track' out of my siblings. there's lots of pressure for me to do well. fuck.<br />i don't know where i'm going.f. pandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12870163802985228312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535015164313436070.post-78537251423952755352008-11-12T21:55:00.000-08:002008-11-12T21:56:24.698-08:00Tracy Chapman ft.

This duo was known for their "rapid-fire delivery" and vocal improvisations, as can be heard in the songs "Green Grass" and "Children Go". - <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_and_Eddie">Wiki</a></span></span></blockquote></span></span></div>f. pandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12870163802985228312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535015164313436070.post-2695939159793127932008-10-28T17:10:00.001-07:002008-10-28T17:15:18.839-07:00Simple and Clean<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:10px;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XdMBa6j4NX8&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XdMBa6j4NX8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre;font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:10px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Band: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/thewhitestboyalive">Whitest Boy Alive</a></span></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Song: Golden Cage</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Hand-Drawn Animation: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"><a href="http://www.championdontstop.com/">G</a></span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"><a href="http://www.championdontstop.com/">eoff Mcfetridge</a></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>f. pandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12870163802985228312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535015164313436070.post-64262994249386315992008-10-26T21:46:00.000-07:002008-10-27T00:43:13.338-07:00王菲 - 不留<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:10px;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rqZlVtQAai8&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rqZlVtQAai8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I was listening to this album on my friend's car and it reminded me of home, because my Dad's a huge fan of </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255); "><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faye_Wong"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Faye Wong</span></span></a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">'s </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">(</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">王菲)</span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">...

It's easy to point the finger at capitalism (or even at China, which is commonly perceived as an 'inhumane', authoritative country) and say that all corporate producers care about is profits, profits, profits and could care less about people's wellbeing.<br /><br />But I think it's also useful to think about how the profit-oriented capitalist system is contributing to our culture of food. Now, it's more common to view food in terms of its monetary cost, rather than its quality. But then there's the problem that it's not like people <span style="font-style: italic;">don't want </span>to buy quality food, but they're just too expensive. Then there're the questions, "Why is our system set up in such a way that quality food is hard to purchase?" and "Are there other ways that we don't need to perpetuate this industrial food system?"<br /><br />Read up! I recc <a href="http://www.michaelpollan.com/"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255); font-weight: bold;">Michael Pollan</span></a>'s <a href="http://www.michaelpollan.com/omnivore.php"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">The Omnivore's Dilemma</span></span></a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omnivore%27s_Dilemma">Wiki</a>, <a href="http://www.michaelpollan.com/omnivore_excerpt.pdf">Excerpt</a> of book). Interesting stuff to excite your brain juices.<br /><br />But on a lighter note, haha this summer my older bro's ex-gf went to France. And to be nice to the family, she bought a jar of orange tea jam for our family of 5. It was so good + exotic that it was finished within 2 days. Haha and my mom told my brother to ask his then-gf if she had anymore. And she was like, '...No...I didn't know you guys will finish it that fast...It'll take me a whole semester to finish that jar...So I don't have anymore...' She doesn't understand that with a family of this size, you have to fight for food. There's the thinking that who ever's the slowest will just miss out, so that just perpetuates the system of food fighting and make the food disappear quicker, bla bla... Haha<br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2008/07/june_taylor_jam.php">Cooling Hunting</a> + <a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1844750,00.html">Time</a>f. pandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12870163802985228312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535015164313436070.post-76105198020199036022008-10-03T20:07:00.000-07:002008-10-07T21:03:16.564-07:00Elis Regina - Águas de Março<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WaU0gDSmi84&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WaU0gDSmi84&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />This performance was broadcasted in 1973, on a MPB Especial series called Ensaio. Check out the rest of the show <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A1743FE1E6458706">here</a>. I love the fact that she seemed to have enjoyed herself in the performance.<br /><br /><blockquote>Similar to its predecessor, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%83%C2%BAsica_Popular_Brasileira"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">MPB</span></a> (Brazilian popular music) was born out of an attempt to produce a Brazilian "national" music, thus revitalizing traditional styles. The beginning of MPB is often associated with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis_Regina"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">Elis Regina</span></a>´s interpretation of the mysterious <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqsR46k-FM0&feature=related">Arrastão</a>, by Vinícius de Moraes and Edu Lobo. The song was almost censored by Brazil's new ruling junta, because it told the story of a fisherman, while hauling in his nets, prayed to St. Barbara for aid. It was a story that hit a little too close to home for the everyday man.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/bobdylan"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">Bob Dylan</span></a> played another song of hers on his <a style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);" href="http://www.xmradio.com/bobdylan/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Theme Time Radio Hour</span></a>, but recalled that by the end of her Arrastão rendition, Regina posed in a crucified position, with tears streaming down her eyes. This emotional song performance won her awards and widespread popularity in Brazil.<br /><br />The earliest MPB borrowed elements of the bossa nova and often relied on thinly-veiled <span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204); font-weight: bold;">criticism of social injustice and governmental repression</span>, being based on progressive opposition to the political scene characterized by military dictatorship, concentration of land ownership, and imperialism.<br /><br />The conjuncture that created the MPB movement ceased to exist after 1969, but the acronym has survived, albeit with a less specific meaning. Transforming from a left-wing musical movement, MPB became the core of Brazil's urban middle-class music, and the term still indicates a certain aesthetic quality in modern Brazilian music.</blockquote>First heard about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elis_Regina"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">Elis Regina</span></a> on Dylan's radio show, he played a cover called "<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yvnebznnjim">Aquarela Do Brasil</a>" that she did with <a href="http://www.tootsthielemans.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">Jean Toots' Thielemans</span></a>.
