Alan Aldridge at Design Museum

The event has closed already, but I went to see Alan Aldridge at Design Museum. So the image of Alan Aldridge is basically the Beatles..but I hadn’t looked at his art works in detail. It was amazing, the more you looked at, the more you find detailed elements. You can find a lot of things inside such a small painting. By the way, he is an art director for the band called “Incubus” and designed their jacket, and it looks there was “i dig incubus” contest…I don’t know much about the contest, but there was an artwork for that displayed […]

Liverpool!

Although it’s been more than 2 weeks already, I went to Liverpool with friends! It was just the date of the Beatles Week, and Matthew Music Festival, so it was soooo difficult to book accommodation. Fortunately I could find a B&B and a-not-so-cheap-hotel in last minutes. I went there by Mega Bus but it was not so comfortable… But 30 pounds for return. It’s so cheap. 6 hours journey… At the first night, we went to Matthew Street, listened to lots of the beatles songs played by lots of bands, at Cavern Pub and Cavern Club. It looked the audience […]

“9” by Damien Rice

I want to listen to this album on weekends. The sound of acoustic guitar and piano is so beautiful and make me relaxed. …Also it has some more “serious” tone tracks as if he is shouting his soul, and these songs are really good. I think you shouldn’t listen to it when you are depressed, though lol. As it contains “low” sound of base as well as very “high” sound of the strings of the guitar, and his gentle voice, it would be so nice if it’s playbacked with really high spec speakers. My favourite tracks are “Dogs” and “Rootless […]

“Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse

When I listened to the track “Back to Black” on the radio, I really liked it at once. Now I bought her album and actually the whole album is really cool, I think. Her voice is quite unique and she uses it very well to sing classical soul or R&B. And still, it doesn’t sound old-fashioned. My favourites are “Tears dry on their own” (I want to listen to this on a beautiful day), “Rehab” (I am Japanese and didn’t know the meaning of “rehab” at first), “Back to Black” (Sounds so cool), but above all, “You know I’m no […]
