強大的老闆

發現自己遇到的老闆都是一流的。一個是開創,帶動小孩子的交響樂隊。一個正在開創穩固馬來西亞的游泳發展,讓他不斷承。一個為了保持,維護,守住越來越少人的大學,真正實踐以運動賺錢。
這次的老闆真正的目的是維護現有的大學而堅持到底。以他擁有的專長~運動管理在不斷的實踐著課本裡頭寫的。真正的挑戰並且改良。幾乎都親歷親為同時培養營運的人。置身處理人事問題,接受並改良地區文化和運動管理之間的衝突。
和這樣的老闆工作,實實在在的感覺自己並沒有很厲害.其实真的很想要留在这里多一个月。为的不是去玩,而是去真正的继续和这样厉害的头脑工作。做他的左右手,看看我们能够做到哪里,赚到多少。
可笑的是,阻止我的不是家人,而是我认为因该要支持我的人。有一股冲动就不要理他了。就想要继续自己的坚持,看法和想法。可是却不忍心伤害他。曾经则雯有说过,我非常赞同的话:我们很像,我们很爱自由,我们想要看世界,我们只是需要他的支持,鼓励而不是一再的催我们回去。
我只是要一个可以停靠的岸边。一个我知道可以依归的地方。
可是这样的自己很自私。所以妈妈说过这样的自己不适合谈恋爱,因为,到最后只会两败俱伤。

Pink Martini - Splendor in the Grass



Lately, I've come across a new gender of music. It sounds like soul, blues or even jazz. I don't know what i should categories this album. but its great. :) The musics are soothing and meaningful.
Pink Martini - Splendor in the Grass


Beside this song, there is 1 more music that i love, because that is so suitable for Rumba :) Although if i wanted to dance at home, i have to dance solo, which sounds so ridiculous. Pink Martini - Ninna Nanna . This song gives me a feeling of in love. With the silence feeling of dancing with my partner at home with bare foot and candle lights. Dancing slowly... But I wonder why, all these sounds so scary for me now.
Pink Martini - Ninna Nanna




SOME INFO ABOUT THIS CD::

The retro-minded, multilingual, virtuosic musicians of Pink Martini gleefully trip across boundaries with each new album. Splendor in the Grass, their latest, is no different. Jam-packed with unlikely excavations, inspired collaborations, obscure covers, and lyrics in languages ranging from Japanese to Neapolitan, it's a gift to music magpies the world over. We asked Portland, Oregon-based bandleader (and walking music encyclopedia) Thomas Lauderdale for an insider's tour of the track list.



Ninna Nanna
Written by Alba Clemente and Massimo Audiello

I was amazed that in the nineties, Alba had four children and stayed out really late at Jackie 60 on Tuesday nights. We flew her out with at least six drag queens from there, and they sort of scandalized Portland. We wrote "Una Notta in Napoli," her first foray into songwriting, and I asked her if she'd ever consider writing a lullaby, so she and Massimo came up with "Ninna Nanna." In the middle of the song, I thought it made sense to sample Hugo Alfvén's "Swedish Rhapsody #1," which comes from a music box from my childhood. It kind of just goes along with my whole idea that it's best to collaborate with people who are not songwriters, because what comes out is unbelievably beautiful.

Ohayoo Ohio
Written by Dan Faehnle

Our guitarist had this one faster and drummier when he wrote it. When he wasn't looking, I slowed it down and recorded it with bongos and congas and added some vocals. The inspiration for the vocals is very much Ward Swingle. "Ohayoo" means hello in Japanese, and since Dan is from Ohio it seemed funny.

Splendor in the Grass
Written by Thomas Lauderdale and Alex Marashian

There was this, let's say, "art film" from the mid 70s and during one sequence I said to myself, "This is a great song." I called the film director in Palm Springs, who said he had no idea what the song was because he was too loaded at the time. We played it in Carnegie Hall last spring and got two letters from fans that said we had to check out "Burning Bridges," from a 70s Clint Eastwood film. It turns out that's where it comes from.

Out est ma Tete
Written by China Forbes, Thomas Lauderdale, and Alex Marashian

We had help from the Honorary Consul of France in Oregon, but just for the grammar-it's not necessarily officially endorsed. It's a song about losing different body parts in different parts of Paris. It's a surreal language lesson, in a way. It's always hard to know if certain things are going to fly in France. [Pink Martini's 1997 hit single] "Sympathique" was nominated for Song of the Year there, and whenever French workers strike, it's sung or referred to. But work is one thing, losing body parts quite another.

And Then You're Gone
Written by Thomas Lauderdale and Alex Marashian

This and "But Now I'm Back" are based on the same piece by Franz Schubert. It's for one piano and four hands and it's about 15 minutes long. Alex and I were sort of fiddling around with it and the phrase "And Then You're Gone" popped into our heads. There's that song Madeline Kahn sings in Blazing Saddles, "Tired of Playing the Game," and the "I Will Survive" strings that we managed to incorporate into this one.

But Now I'm Back
Written by Thomas Lauderdale and Alex Marashian

The band didn't like "And Then You're Gone" at all. So Alex and I went and picked some berries, sat on the beach, and came up with another song based on the same Schubert. With this album, there was a lot of stuff that I pushed through-in the past, I really tried to make everybody happy.

Sunday Table
Written by China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale

We wrote this one spring morning eleven years ago, in China's Christopher Street apartment. It's just sort of about that moment where you pass a stranger on the street and have a tiny love affair for two seconds.

Over the Valley
Written by China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale

China definitely took the lead on this one. She was inspired by Jimmy Scott-that concept of singing slowly and behind the beat-and the view of the Tualatin Valley from her house. Oregon is totally full of splendor, and it's a great place to work. There are like 900 bands based in Portland, including the Gossip. I saw Beth Ditto a couple nights ago and started talking to her about playing with a symphony orchestra, which would be awesome.

Tuca Tuca
Written by Gianni Boncompagni

This is an Italian song first sung by Raffaella Carrà. Phil Baker, our bassist, stunned us all with his sitar magic. We got our hands on the actual sitar played by Peter Sells in the movie The Party. A friend of mine, her husband was an exec at the company that produced it and he was allowed to take anything off the set. Wisely, he chose the sitar. It now sits in my loft.

Bitty Boppy Betty
Written by Alex Marashian

This song is about a cross-dressing district attorney and almost didn't make the cut. I thought, "They're not gonna like this in Utah." The thesis statement is that "life's a lot richer with a healthy mixture," and the more I got into it, the more I had to defend it.

Sing
Written by Joe Raposo

This song was written for Sesame Street in the 70s and I've always made fun of it. But two summers ago, Emilio Delgado, who plays Luis on Sesame Street and whose wife went to my high school, needed to learn it for an audition, so he came to me and we struck up a friendship.

Piensa En Me
Written by Agustin and Maria Teresa Lara

I'd been wanting to record with Chavela Vargas for years. She had a burst of energy in June, so we sent a sound engineer down to Mexico City. I wanted her to do "Yo Te Quiero Siempre"–not the Dolly Parton song, a different one–but at 90, she didn't really want to learn a new song. She offered three suggestions, and this was one of them.The great thing is that I was able to hand the recording to Pedro Almodovar, who has loved Vargas for years, a few weeks ago in New York. He was definitely excited to get it.

New Amsterdam
Written by Louis Hardin, aka Moondog

Moondog was a blind, homeless composer based in New York. He stood at Columbus Circle for 30 years, where he was known as "The Viking of Sixth Avenue," but very few people knew he was an incredible avant-garde composer. This was a song on one of his last albums, recorded in 1995, and I used it as the leitmotif of the soundtrack I did for Chiara Clemente's Our City Dreams. The original calls for nine saxophones. I think it's the most beautiful song ever written about New York City.
