8.1 (29 个评分) A Fine Frenzy 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2007年7月17日 出版发行: Virgin Records
来自美国的年轻女孩A Fine Frenzy在7月份发行了自己的第一盘专集,整盘专集顺畅的表达了A Fine Frenzy特有的那股特有犹豫和伤感,看了A Fine Frenzy详细的资料,并没有发现她的成长中有过太大的苦难,但却把忧伤演绎的这样优美和完整;当你孤单受伤或夜晚思念的时候不妨来听听A Fine Frenzy的轻吟,你会找到许多共鸣,让那颗受过伤的心灵找到一丝安慰;其实她的音乐本身没有太多值得称赞的亮点,但带上耳机听着A Fine Frenzy的音乐,自己却变的非常安静!(转自colalan)
A Fine Frenzy is actually just a fine young singer-songwriter from Seattle, born Alison Sudol. A self-taught piano player, on her debut album she pairs sweeping orchestral arrangements with dreamlike lyrics inspired by the classic works of fantasy writers like CS Lewis, EB White, and Lewis Carroll. Add to that a propensity for frilly shirts and cryptic song titles such as "The Minnow & the Trout" and you half-expect to find a back alley Joanna Newsom. Instead Sudol specializes in accessible pop epics, the kind of songs that fit perfectly over the end credits of a great Hollywood tearjerker. Despite the gentle melancholia that runs through "Ashes and Wine" and "You Picked Me," each tune arrives wrapped in an exuberant melody and topped by the singer's commanding voice. On the disc's standout moment, "Almost Lover," she shows she can do simplicity as well, musing over a sublime piano medley, "Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache/ Oh, most lovers always do."

9.4 (119 个评分) 导演: 德兰·萨拉菲安 演员: 休·劳瑞 / 丽莎·艾德尔斯汀
40个实习医生为了一个家知名医院(其实就是House那个医院)的3个转正名额进行无数轮的PK选秀,会是什么样的场景?如果你是House医生,肯定也会让这帮愣头青上演一出血战到底的真人秀吧?而且在被House老是修理一番后,他们会压根就不知道 “自尊”这个词是啥意思~
艾美奖得主《豪斯医生》第四季将在9月25日再度与美剧迷们见面,在本季中,由于有一票新人要竞争与House共事的机会,所以弄出了一个类似选秀的程序来考核竞聘者们,甚至给他们编了号~(传说中的超级医生?)。“本季中您将会看到典型的House风格的种种挖苦和刁难,除非具备《Survivor》中的角色那样超人的心理和身体素质以及职业技能,恐怕很难有人能入House的法眼。”本季的执行制作人David Shore如是说。
本季花了超过8集以上的时间来让有点神神叨叨的House来选秀(不知道有没有点评环节),也就是说,他将会塑造一个又臭又硬的形象~。演员Peter Jacobson 说(出演过The Starter Wife),Peter Jacobson在本剧中扮演一个在Park Avenue上班的整形外科医生,试图寻找新的生命的意义。“不过,在寻找生命意义的道路上,他也顺道寻找一下辣妹。Hoho~” Jacobson补充道。
当然,作为选秀的结果,本剧中理所应当的出现了新角色。Olivia Wilde (出演过The Black Donnellys),在本剧中出演一个让House搞不定的家伙。他说“每周都会有新人被淘汰出局,大家都希望看到Ryan Seacrest在那煽情的喊' 如果您支持13号选手,请编辑短信13,移动用户发送倒~~联通~~小灵通~~'(也不知道米国是什么号码啦!)"
制作人Shore还透露,其他的竞聘者还有Kal Penn(出演过24)扮演的一个觉得“选秀“特酷的傻妞。还有,Edi Gathegi(出演过Lincoln Heights),将在本剧中扮演一个黑人摩门教徒。
搞笑的是,在现实中的演员们为了出演本剧,成为House团队(此处双关)的一员,也是竞争激烈。Shore 说:“我们挑选了许多演员来试镜,但是我们不能决定谁是最佳人选,最后我们决定采用选秀的方式,我们觉得House肯定会同意的。”
------------------------------------------
HOUSE, an innovative take on the medical drama, solves mysteries where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.
As Season Four opens, House is without a team to contribute to the perplexing medical cases he undertakes, and Cuddy and Wilson are adamant that he recruit new fellowship candidates. After 40 applicants applied for the newly vacated spots on his team, a group of five doctors -- played by Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, Peter Jacobson, Anne Dudek and Edi Gathegi -- have emerged as finalists vying for the coveted and hotly contested openings.

A Letter from Brian Selznick
Dear readers,
When I was a kid, two of my favorite books were by an amazing man named Remy Charlip. Fortunately and Thirteen fascinated me in part because, in both books, the very act of turning the pages plays a pivotal role in telling the story. Each turn reveals something new in a way that builds on the image on the previous page. Now that I’m an illustrator myself, I’ve often thought about this dramatic storytelling device and all of its creative possibilities.
My new book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, is a 550 page novel in words and pictures. But unlike most novels, the images in my new book don't just illustrate the story; they help tell it. I've used the lessons I learned from Remy Charlip and other masters of the picture book to create something that is not a exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel, or a flip book or a movie, but a combination of all these things.
I began thinking about this book ten years ago after seeing some of the magical films of Georges Méliès, the father of science-fiction movies. But it wasn’t until I read a book called Edison's Eve: The Quest for Mechanical Life by Gaby Woods that my story began to come into focus. I discovered that Méliès had a collection of mechanical, wind-up figures (called automata) that were donated to a museum, but which were later destroyed and thrown away. Instantly, I imagined a boy discovering these broken, rusty machines in the garbage, stealing one and attempting to fix it. At that moment, Hugo Cabret was born.
A few years ago, I had the honor of meeting Remy Charlip, and I'm proud to say that we've become friends. Last December he was asking me what I was working on, and as I was describing this book to him, I realized that Remy looks exactly like Georges Méliès. I excitedly asked him to pose as the character in my book, and fortunately, he said yes. So every time you see Méliès in The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the person you are really looking at is my dear friend Remy Charlip, who continues to inspire everyone who has the great pleasure of knowing him or seeing his work.
Paris in the 1930's, a thief, a broken machine, a strange girl, a mean old man, and the secrets that tie them all together... Welcome to The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Yours,

Brian Selznick on a "Deleted Scene" from The Invention of Hugo Cabret
This is a finished drawing that I had to cut from The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I was still rewriting the book when I had to begin the final art. There was originally a scene in the story where this character, Etienne, is working in a camera shop. On one of my research trips to Paris I spent an entire day visiting old camera shops and photographing cameras from the 1930's and earlier, as well as the facades of the shops themselves. I researched original French camera posters and made sure that the counter and the shelves were accurate to the time period. I did all the drawings in the book at 1/4 scale, so they were very small and I often had to use a magnifying glass to help me see what I was drawing. After I finished this drawing I continued to rewrite, and for various reasons I realized that I needed to move this scene from the camera shop to the French Film Academy, which meant that I had to cut this picture. I tried really hard to find ANOTHER moment when I could have Etienne in a camera shop, but, as painful as it was, I knew the picture had to go. I'm glad to see it up on the Amazon website because otherwise no one would have ever seen all those tiny cameras I researched and drew so carefully!
--Brian Selznick
Illustrations

From Publishers Weekly
Here is a true masterpiece—an artful blending of narrative, illustration and cinematic technique, for a story as tantalizing as it is touching.Twelve-year-old orphan Hugo lives in the walls of a Paris train station at the turn of the 20th century, where he tends to the clocks and filches what he needs to survive. Hugo's recently deceased father, a clockmaker, worked in a museum where he discovered an automaton: a human-like figure seated at a desk, pen in hand, as if ready to deliver a message. After his father showed Hugo the robot, the boy became just as obsessed with getting the automaton to function as his father had been, and the man gave his son one of the notebooks he used to record the automaton's inner workings. The plot grows as intricate as the robot's gears and mechanisms [...] To Selznick's credit, the coincidences all feel carefully orchestrated; epiphany after epiphany occurs before the book comes to its sumptuous, glorious end. Selznick hints at the toymaker's hidden identity [...] through impressive use of meticulous charcoal drawings that grow or shrink against black backdrops, in pages-long sequences. They display the same item in increasingly tight focus or pan across scenes the way a camera might. The plot ultimately has much to do with the history of the movies, and Selznick's genius lies in his expert use of such a visual style to spotlight the role of this highly visual media. A standout achievement. Ages 9-12. (Mar.)
From School Library Journal
Grade 4–9—With characteristic intelligence, exquisite images, and a breathtaking design, Selznick shatters conventions related to the art of bookmaking in this magical mystery set in 1930s Paris. He employs wordless sequential pictures and distinct pages of text to let the cinematic story unfold, and the artwork, rendered in pencil and bordered in black, contains elements of a flip book, a graphic novel, and film. It opens with a small square depicting a full moon centered on a black spread. As readers flip the pages, the image grows and the moon recedes. A boy on the run slips through a grate to take refuge inside the walls of a train station—home for this orphaned, apprentice clock keeper. As Hugo seeks to accomplish his mission, his life intersects with a cantankerous toyshop owner and a feisty girl who won't be ignored. Each character possesses secrets and something of great value to the other. With deft foreshadowing, sensitively wrought characters, and heart-pounding suspense, the author engineers the elements of his complex plot: speeding trains, clocks, footsteps, dreams, and movies—especially those by Georges Méliès, the French pioneer of science-fiction cinema. Movie stills are cleverly interspersed. Selznick's art ranges from evocative, shadowy spreads of Parisian streets to penetrating character close-ups. Leaving much to ponder about loss, time, family, and the creative impulse, the book closes with a waning moon, a diminishing square, and informative credits. This is a masterful narrative that readers can literally manipulate.
—Wendy Lukehart, Washington DC Public Library
From Booklist
Selznick's "novel in words and pictures," an intriguing mystery set in 1930s Paris about an orphan, a salvaged clockwork invention, and a celebrated filmmaker, resuscitates an anemic genre--the illustrated novel--and takes it to a whole new level. The result is somewhat similar to a graphic novel, but experiencing its mix of silvery pencil drawings and narrative interludes is ultimately more akin to watching a silent film. Indeed, movies and the wonder they inspire, "like seeing dreams in the middle of the day," are central to the story, and Selznick expresses an obvious passion for cinema in ways both visual (successive pictures, set against black frames as if projected on a darkened screen, mimic slow zooms and dramatic cuts) and thematic (the convoluted plot involves director Georges M'eli'es, particularly his fanciful 1902 masterpiece, A Trip to the Moon .) This hybrid creation, which also includes movie stills and archival photographs, is surprising and often lovely, but the orphan's story is overshadowed by the book's artistic and historical concerns (the heady extent of which are revealed in concluding notes about Selznick's inspirations, from the Lumi'ere brothers to Fran'eois Truffaut). Nonetheless, bookmaking this ambitious demands and deserves attention--which it will surely receive from children attracted by a novel in which a complex narrative is equally advanced by things both read and seen.

From AudioFile
Inside a Paris train station in 1932, a small boy named Hugo Cabret secretly keeps all the clocks running. Like the workings of a clock, the parts of this intriguing story interlock, and the audio program is a marvel in itself. Jeff Woodman narrates Hugo's story, which introduces listeners to an automaton, a mechanical figure that writes and draws, and the early science fiction films of Georges M?li?s. Woodman clearly captures Hugo and his friends as they try to discover the secrets of an old man. Sound sequences are placed within the narrative where in the print edition of the book a series of illustrations occurs. A bonus DVD accompanies the set, and it's a dynamic "extra." The disc contains not just a filmed interview with Selznick, in which he talks about his writing and illustration process, but also images of the actual illustrations. This wholly original integration of audio narration, soundscapes, illustration, and author discussion is an experience listeners of all ages should not miss. Discovering how the intricate puzzle of elements fits together like clockwork will provide repeated listenings to figure out. R.F.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award

2006年不知为什么过得很快,快得感觉一瞬间就从年初走到了年末。2007年来的就这样突然而匆忙,一切似乎还没有准备好,一切又似乎充满希望。
这个冬天没有想象的寒冷,虽然时不时大雾弥漫,但隔三差五的艳阳天,还是让人不禁爱上冬天,尤其是北京的冬天,温暖的阳光和刺骨的寒风,这种极大的反差时常让人恍惚。终于,在新年快来的时候,北京下雪了。而在飘着雪花的2006的最后的日子里,老狼终于和他的《北京的冬天》做好了准备,回到了大家的视线中。
“北京的冬天”,这是久别的老狼带来的第一首作品,也是即将在2月上市的老狼的全新大碟《北京的冬天》的同名单曲。这是一首温暖的歌曲,也是一首温暖中还让人觉得有一些伤感的歌曲。没有太多的花哨的东西可表述,也不想去阐述所谓如今音乐在流行什么,音乐本身的魅力就是在你听到的时候能迅速的触动你,让你在别人的歌声中寻找自己的故事,在别人的旋律里唱自己的歌。这应该也是我们在这个变化太快的世界中,一种平静的回归吧。
北京的冬天,我们都偶尔会寂寞,或者常常寂寞;北京的冬天,我们需要相互鼓励,需要别人也需要自己给一点点温暖;北京的冬天,不仅仅是一个季节,更是我们心中永远的一种说不清的情绪。
北京的冬天,老狼准备好了,他带着他的音乐,他温暖的声音回来了。

从第一张同名专辑的学生气息,到第二张专辑《小宇宙》中对社会的初试窥探,《无与伦比的美丽 》表达的是一种更为深刻的想像境地∶从游乐的心情出发,仿佛身处花园之中,以狂想面对各种情感的时候,在真实城市中便仍能简单生活,直到找到相信的力量。
旋律刻意的铺陈使曲目不曾间断,听觉的空隙仅抽象地由音乐呈现,这是一张完整的专辑,不是十首歌的集锦。苏打绿带来的新作品《无与伦比的美丽》,展露出有别以往的风采。除了苏打绿作为标志的民谣摇滚风格之外,这张专辑加进了独特的管弦编曲,在流行与古典之间,苏打绿完成最优美的滑行。
