some people said about the Tour DVD

"According to Virgin Radio, a French radio station,
The Resistance tour DVD might be released this Spring,
featuring the San Siro concert from June 8th 2010."

I hope this is true!!!
希望不只是收錄演出而已～（我記得他們說過希望不只是像 HAARP 那樣?）
yeah, we need A LOT OF behind scenes :'D

San Siro gig is very impressive
it has one of the most beautiful Starlight performances
 
I saw another rumor says it's including LCCC...
huh, whatever. 

hope it would contain several different footages
& some special songs.

 European Festival Awards 2010
Muse won...

The Top 6 Most Irritating Uses
of a Really High Note in a Song

HERE

文章選了六個作者覺得最惱人的高音 xD
Micro Cuts is number 6! 
the whole description is funny lolololol 
here's a part of this article: 

"...Matt Bellamy often feels like the band’s prowess is being taking for granted.
So, in a fit of rage one day (we’re guessing),
he invented this thing where he warbles really, really high
until every piece of glass in the auditorium has broken
(which is the sole purpose of “Micro Cuts”).
It’s both an attention-grabber and an act of revenge."

我一開始在 OoS 上聽到 Micro Cuts 時
有種 "Whaaa!!" 和 "What?" 的感覺，很複雜 xD

 impressive for sure
因為我以前沒聽過有人這樣唱歌 xDDD
好奇之下去找了 live 之後 (Hullabaloo)，
聽完的時候表情大概是這樣→ O口O 維持了一小時
 

I believe most of fans would not find Micro Cuts irritating
but whether people like or not, it's a really unique song IMO. 

***

how come Dylan Lewis' straight face is so hilarious xD

***

10/26 Raleigh 
(2010 of course xD)
Undone-The Sweater Song riff

I really like it when they play this riff,
somehow it makes me feel happy xDD 

would love to hear the chorus as well!

***

Video Hits interview


this part is so funny lolololol (about 4:37) 

Lewis:  "you play your music like you're wringing every last drop of music out of your tools...
til there's nothing left, they're empty and listless, old, deflated footballs.”
Matt: "...football? Who?"
Lewis: "The instruments."
Matt: "oh the instruments..."*start giggling*

我還沒聽過有人這樣形容他彈樂器的我的媽啊 xDDDDD

關於 muse.mu shop 出的聖誕球球吊飾
Matt: "Blimey, oh it's cheap..." 

I thought they're quite cute lololololol

NME
 35 Funniest Quotes 2010

HERE
看好玩的～～

Matt 先前在那個什麼 Music Producers Guild Awards 時說的：
"Thanks to Rick Rubin for teaching us how not to produce."
xD

另一個相關的是
Robbie Furze (The Big Pink) 對 Muse fans 下的評論：
 "The problem with touring with Muse was that all their fans were really ugly."

 所以在其他人眼中，
Muse fans 除了相當狂熱、熱衷投票之外，還長得蠻醜的 

天啊我們真是一無可取 XDDDDDDD

quite busy lately o_O
thank Darwin this semester is almost over,
but still have a lot of things to do...

anyway, hope everybody can make it through!

不知道要幹嘛就來花痴一下好了

haha that's so cute

long post again!
但是我這次不是要 bitching xDDDDD

這是新年感言啦～～本來應該是要等到 12/31 再寫的
但是受到一些刺激加上期末周不遠，之後沒時間寫這些廢話
所以只好趁現在講完 xDDDDD

2010 is almost over
you can see that I nearly spend the whole year on this band...

原本以為在年初去香港的時候我的狂熱就差不多已經到達巔峰，不可能再增加了
看來真的是大錯特錯

不知道為什麼會這樣沉迷於一個樂團，
我還不覺得我有那麼愛音樂 o_O
我是說，音樂絕對是我生活中重要且非常喜愛的一部份
但是我對它的熱情及投注的心力卻不比這一個樂團來得多
（囧，希望這可以表達出我的意思）

...真是莫名其妙
 
前幾天看到這張圖

sounds crazy,
but it really sums up how I feel toward this band.
 
在喜歡樂團的這段過程中學到很多東西，
我覺得我能夠比以前從更多的角度去欣賞音樂，對音樂的看法也有了不少改變

become more open-minded I think 

我記得以前說過 Muse 的音樂並不見得帶給我多大的影響
現在我得把它收回來xDDD 
 那時候大概還覺得音樂足以改變一個人的生活這種說法太誇張了
但是後來我感覺它的影響逐漸反映在我對於某些人事物的態度之上
這時候才發現大事不妙

I need their music whenever I feel suffered, stressed or depressed...
like it's the only cure of sickness.

Muse's music gives me a lot of strength to face problems in my daily life.
it can't solve those problems really,
but at least it makes me feel that I'm not alone. 
 
他們的音樂讓我思考很多問題，
且因為 Muse 的關係讓我現在更加地重視歌詞
我覺得 Matt 對人與人之間的情感描寫得很細緻（我覺得啦）
尤其在 Showbiz 和 OoS 時期，特別容易產生共鳴
（或許是我現在的年紀與當時的他們比較相近，
因此比較容易與歌詞中描述的問題產生連結）

ahhh, I don't know how to explain,
it just... fascinating. 

2010 對我來說是很棒的一年，同時也是爛得可以的一年
I'm so happy that I'm part of The Resistance tour, it was a mind-blowing gig

and I made friends with people who love Muse as much as I do :'D
truly amazing, it's my pleasure to meet you all.

and thanks to who has read this fangirl blog as well,
hope these articles have amused you xDDD  

of course thanks to Muse for making beautiful music
(and their lovely personalities) 

我不知道將來會發生什麼事
maybe Muse would release a really bad album so that I don't love them anymore,
or Muse fans' passion fade away or just keep going as usual

however, at this moment I fucking love Muse.
they don't even know I exist 
but to me, they're not only a band but also part of my life.

Dom 被 flying Santa 嚇到的瞬間好可憐但是好可愛xDDD

nothing is better than Nirvana and Muse combination.

12/15 Melbourne

 after SS, Matt threw his Santa 2.0 toward the drum kit.

is not right or something~

SO. EPIC. lolololol

they would put out a restraining order."

...so true, so true.

Courier Mail interview
HERE

little interview with Chris!
 提到一點 Twilight，當初有些話似乎被誤解了
另外還有提到 Matt 以前都穿運動服加入 sport-team
我真的沒辦法難想像那畫面xDDDDDDDD 

p.s. 前幾天因為貪小便宜趁博客來打折時訂的 Guitar Magazine 已經到了
 有 Matt 的訪問、一些吉他介紹和彈奏技巧分析等等

除了我看不懂日文之外一切都很好 lolololololol

after AMA and Grammy nomination 
Muse seems finally get some recognition by US media

不過一些 fans 或 journalists 認為媒體似乎沒有把注意力放在該放的地方
例如在 AMA 記者訪問時都在問有關 Justin Bieber 的事xD

here's one of the articles...

"Muse inducted into "Showbiz" with 3 Grammy nominations in 2011"

HERE

可能是我不住在美國所以還不覺得這問題很嚴重
不然因為就是一直都認為媒體很糟糕，所以覺得發生這種事很正常 lolololol

媒體能對 Muse 有多少認知我沒有很在意 @@
只希望他們不要胡說八道就可以了（好像不容易xDDDD）

***

之前 Triple J, Channel V, Video Hits, Faster Louder 舉辦的贈獎活動
只要很有創意的彈奏 Plug In Baby riff 就有機會得獎～

冠亞軍都出來了→HERE
裡面只有一個人是真的在彈吉他xD

我最喜歡這個影片
Matt 的電話號碼很長喔，要打給他也不是那麼容易xDDDDDD

it seems Muse is in Australia now :D!
can't wait for 12/5 <3
