I haven't added anything in this section for quite sometime. So I think all I can do is to introduce one musician whom thought was (still is!) inspiring singer that I've ever known. I became the biggest fan of her when I bought 1990 alblum "I do not want I've got" which including songs like the most famous Nothing compare 2 U and my favorite Emperor's new Cloths.
But actually my first impression was not so good. I thought it too sappy and demand too much patient to listen. So I put that cassette tape in "Basket of seldom revisited". So it took me like 2 year when I finally bought another Sinead's cassette which was her 1997 "So far...The Best of". When I finnished that I was kind of thrilled and surprised that how come her singing voice is so soothing and calming.
So from that day on, I kept bought every alblum released by her. And every alblums there will always have something to surprise me. Like her 2002 "Sean-Nos Nua" which she have changed her style into some kind of celtic-region (I have been told like that, but, hell! I ain't no expert). So it was kind of nice to listen to a softer side of her (softer than already soft, I think that should be a hard thing to do).
So If you're already a fan of her music, then welcome to the club. But if you are not familiar with her or just doesn't like her that much, then my suggestion is to give yourself a time. Try to really really listen to her, appreciate the lyrics , I can make sure that you will likely to like her more than before.
The song that I put in this blog is from 1997 "The Gospel Oak" called This is A Rebel Song. This is one of my favorite song because i think it's sounded just perfect. It's so huanting and has one of the heart braking lyric. So check it out, I hope you will like it.
This is A Rebel Song
I love you my hard englishman Your rage is like a fist in my womb Can't you forgive what you think I've done And love me - I'm your woman And I desire you my hard englishman And there is no more natural thing So why should I not get loving Don't be cold englishman
How come you've never said you love me In all the time you've known me How come you never say you're sorry And I do
Ah, please talk to me englishman What good will shutting me out get done Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons Oh listen - englishman I've honoured you - hard englishman Now I am calling your heart to my own Oh let glorious love be done Be truthful - englishman
How come you've never said you love me In all the time you've known me How come you never say you're sorry And I do I do
ชอบเสียงร้องของเธอมากๆครับ เป็นนักร้องเพียงไม่กี่คนที่ผมคิดว่าร้องเพลง cover ได้เพราะกว่าต้นฉบับ... เช่น Streets of London,Don't Cry for me Argentina(ได้อารมณ์ Celtic มากๆ) หรือแม้แต่ Nothing Compares 2 U ก็ตาม
ส่วนเพลงที่เธอแต่งเอง ชอบเป็นบางเพลงครับ เพราะบางทีเนื้อหาออกจะเฉพาะตัวไปหน่อย เสียงร้องผมชอบตอนเธอร้องแบบสบายๆมากกว่า ที่ชอบก็ Thank you for Hearing me.
Unwell: Ok I will set to the front page now hehe. Anyway great to know that you're also like her music (about music list, I don't know what song should I put. So I think I will do it next time haha)
modjo!: Yeah I think her voice is so remarkable. This is one of Ireland musician that I really love (another one shouln't be hard to guess, The Cranberries). So anyway, I will visit your blog too
You could have brain tumor by watching this contaminated turd. Nothing in Gentlemen Broncos pays off, it’s incoherent mess, and chock-full of incredibly annoying characters. You will not only loath this movie, but it also makes you want to punch someone who responsible for this abomination in the face.

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
Imagine if Akira got Live-Action treatment by... say Alfonso Cuarón, you know how awesome it might be? That’s what happened to "Fantastic Mr. Fox". Wes Anderson's auteur perfectly captured the quirkiness and blissful tone of the material. Its stop-motion technique might be a little crude and... somewhat unsophisticated, but that's the charm of it. You’ll feel like pop-up book unveiled before your eyes. This is an exceptional animation of the year.
Up in the Air is a blockbuster movie for people who think blockbuster movies are dumb, as it chock full of brilliantly written dialogue, and acting showcase for three talented actors (especially star-making turn by Anna Kendrick). But in the end, there's little to love, not so much story to chew on (plus disappointing third act), and no real connection to the meaning of human interaction as it intended to be.

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)
Cliché-ridden plot about a bunch of annoying characters get together in one idiotic circumstance, "I Love You, Beth Cooper" is shameless exploitation & biggest insult to 80s teen flicks. It's like memorizing magic trick from internet, hoping to perform like David Copperfield. Neither sense of wonder nor magic flare happens here. Only good thing is, it makes me wanna cleanse my soul with genuine 80s teen movie night marathon.

Everybody's Fine (2009)
Meh. The movie serious lack of originality & characters development. Only Robert De Niro comes out fine in this schmaltzy, "Lifetime" movie-of-the-week plot.

Twee delight... That's only two words I can think of right now.

Adam (2009)
A perfect companion to Mary & Max (one of the best animation of 2009), Adam is star-crossed love story (pun intended) between Adam, Asperger's Syndrome bearer, and Beth, free spirit woman. The picture wouldn’t be this intimate without stunning performance by Hugh Dancy. On the other hand, the lack of depth on why Beth would love someone like Adam, preventing me from wholeheartedly embraces her choice in the end (which is nice & perfect but requires a leap of faith). Otherwise, this is touching romantic film, which putting its feet firmly on the ground, making the world full of hope and seems nicer place to live.

The Invention of Lying (2009)
Expected to be like “Click” or “Yes Man”, where high-concept plot turned into endless gags, with moral lesson (forcefully) shoving down your throat. But "The Invention of Lying" is thinking man’s film. The whole concept is not seeing how first lying man exploits the ability. But it's about him finding the way not to lie, in order to find genuine happiness. Great stuff.

Give ‘Em Hell Malone (2009)
This is one damn frustrating experience. It’s like watching an infant trying to stand up and walk. They would take a few steps then fall their asses. In fact, kiddie film like “Bugsy Malone” has done better job paying a tribute to film noir than this borefest.

Zombieland (2009)
ถ้าอังกฤษมีหนังซอมบี้ฮาแตกอย่าง Shaun of the Dead แล้ว ทำไมอเมริกาจะมีบ้างไม่ได้... Zombieland คือการผสมผสานระหว่างบรรดาหนังซอมบี้เก่าๆ เข้ากับทัศนคติของคนสร้างที่อาจดูหนังแนวนี้มากเกินความจำเป็น จนสามารถสร้างหนังซอมบี้ที่เข้าใจสิ่งที่ตัวเองเป็น และเล่นสนุกไปกับกฏพื้นฐานของซอมบี้ได้อย่างเต็มที่ ทั้งนี้ทั้งนั้นต้องยกความดีให้สี่นักแสดงนำ โดยเฉพาะ วู้ดดี้ ฮาเรลสัน (เขาเกิดมาเพื่อบทนี้) ที่ช่วยกันสร้างมนต์เสน่ห์ ให้กับการเดินทางในโลกไร้มนุษย์ได้อย่างเต็มที่
หนังมีไอเดียกิ๊บเก๋ ทำออกมาได้สนุกสนานสไตล์ซิตคอมอังกฤษ โดยเฉพาะการนำกฏเหล็กต่างๆจากหนังที่เกี่ยวกับการท่องเวลา (ดูเหมือนว่า Back to the Future จะเป็นแรงบรรดาลใจหลัก) มาปู้ยี้ปู้ยำอย่างเมามัน ถึงแม้ว่าตลอดเวลาการรับชมจะให้ความรู้สึก เหมือนตัวเองกำลังดูซีรี่ย์ทางโทรทัศน์ แต่มันก็คือตอนที่ฮาที่สุดของซีซั่น แถมเอฟเฟ็คที่ใช้ก็มีคุณภาพจนคาดไม่ถึง

Looking for Eric (2009)
มีความรู้สึกว่าหนังเรื่องนี้มองโลกในแง่ดีเกินบรรยากาศโดยรวม จริงอยู่ว่าทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างที่ลงเอยด้วยดีในตอนสุดท้ายนั้น สามารถสร้างความสุขและรอยยิ้มให้กับคนดู แต่จากสถานการณ์ในเรื่องและบริบทที่เกิดขึ้นก่อนหน้านี้ มันยากที่จะทำใจเชื่อในสิ่งที่เห็น โดยเฉพาะพล็อตรองเกี่ยวกับปืน ซึ่งถ้าถูกตัดออกไปและหนังยังดำเนินเรื่องอย่างที่เป็นอยู่ Looking for Eric ก็น่าจะเป็นหนังฟีลกู้ดที่อบอุ่นที่สุดเรื่องหนึ่งของปีเลยทีเดียว
Hey! why didn't you set this page as the first page la, your first page is still Movie's Cars. So who'll notice this nice blog about Sinead la nia.
I like her at Nothing Compare to You. Listening her song is like listening to a pray. Her voice's quite enchanting.
