Back to you

Brett Anderson will come to Hong Kong again. It becomes sort of automation that whenever Brett comes here, I'll attend. Many people are not that enthusiastic to this man now because they think that his time has passed. How they are wrong. To be honest, I am not looking for any excitement or nostalgia related to suede. I am looking for a night of beautiful music, the music from his three solo albums.

Britpop, the best era? (of course not, haha, but glad to see so many faces when they were still young)

britpop babies

british music experience, i don't know if i like it or not. Yes, I like its jukebox and its hi-tech approach (that could dazzle the lo-tech person like me), but everything is just too brief, or it never intends to be a serious exhibition. It's just an entertainment for a family (as every member of a family probably may find his/her favourite era). That very industry-driven approach also made me intrigue. Expensive merchandise. Joining fee to be a whatever member. Very expensive admission fee. I got a strange dislike to exhibit/present/summarise music like a commodities/in any substantiate form/a statement/a poster/an outfit. I wonder if I would go had i not won the free ticket by the quiz (as the tix is really expensive). But as my ticket was free, I should keep my mouth shut. Oh yes, there are some items i really like:

so young, so gone
drowners

these lines are so wonderful!
that's the reason why i would be there :)))))

因此我總是和我的友人們說: "如果你只是為了想要尋找或是懷念suede的模樣, 請不要去看brett的solo演出..."

because now is "the next life" :p

oh oh i had thought about going to the exhibition, but forgot all about that in the end...seems i have not much to lose

btw, brett is also going to SH, do you know that? and the main thing is the venue is a small one.

ppp, haha, that's very true for "the next life" saying, brett also got this self-predictive power! But he will return his former life soon.

britple, i don't know brett will go to SH ar, but I don't have travel document to china anyway. That modern sky festival seems good though.
