Sliced Ice

もはや季節外れの感が否めない「かき氷」だが、怜(長男)は、ほとんどひとりでたいらげ、腹が痛いと言っていた。
Kaki-Gohri is out of season now. But there is nothing to do with Rey, he almost eat a bowl of shaved ice with strawberry syrup by himself and said he had stomachache afterwards.

Latin Harlem

It’s been a long time to go music rave “Latin Harlem” @ Aoyama CAY and really enjoyed live music by Latin Harlem All-Stars with Yosuke Onuma who is an up-and-coming guitar player, I didn’t dance though.
「ラテン・ハーレム」へ出かけた。昔に比べると、人が少なかった気がして、ちょっとさびしかったけど、久しぶりに会えた人もいたし、ライブもすばらしく、十分楽しめた。

Jazztronik’s T, this was cool.
I’ve been recording radio shows Jazztronik (not me) hosts this afternoon. Today’s guests are Coldfeet and Naoto. They were so sincere and brought lots of smile, thanks.
きょうは午後にラジオの収録。上の写真は前回収録時のJazztronik(僕じゃないです)Tシャツ。いつもイカしたデザインで気になっている。

I don’t know everything about music and radio industries in Japan despite I ‘ve been involved for as many as 12 years. However, I was always with luck in working together with some great personalities including producers, musicians and DJs. Thanks to those whom I worked with, I’ve been seeing very few disgusting people. Most people understand there are some in every industries, but when you have to see those kind of people, you’ll find two different kinds in there. Type 1 is disgusting but very sincere to improve the situation the person belongs to. Such people might be precious assets for the industries. While second is nice person at a glance, but do nothing but making own money effectively. And I’m afraid that I would be latter one these days.

Lightning

秋のおとずれを知らせるカミナリなのでしょうか?駒プーも9月になって午後5時閉店になっていた。とはいえ、暑い一日でした。
Is this lightning meant that fall has coming? Swimming pool at Komazawa I and Rey used to go has become closing at 5 P.M. since 1st of September. However, it was a maggy day.
I borrowed following CDs of Atelier E.A.U. today. (Just for memo)

The Byrds / Turn! Turn! Turn!
The Byrds / Younger Than Yesterday
The Byrds / The Notorious Byrd Brothers
The Byrds / Sweetheart Of The Rodeo
The Rascals / The Island Of Real

Jack Johnson

library

@Bonaroo Music Festival 2003のダウンロード完了。後半、G. Loveとのデュオを披露してくれている・・・にしても豪華なラインナップで、日本で有名な音楽祭りとは一味違うアメリカンな味わいが魅力的です。Bonarooにいつか行ってみたい!
I have downloaded Jack Johnson’s performance @ Bonaroo Music Festival in June 2003. In the last part he sang along with “G. Love”. That was interesting. CD and DVD will be in store soon.

Liverpool

今日から9月。ずいぶん涼しい一日だった。週末の伊東での語学合宿の影響なのか、すごく眠い。昼に週末行われたマージーサイド・ダービーの再放送をみた。イングランド、プレミア・リーグ。エバートン対リバプール。前にも書いたかもしれないが、僕はゆるーくレッズ・ファンである(浦和でない方、つまりリバプール)。バックパックには中原仁さんからいただいたピン・バッチが燦然と輝いている。ここまで3試合戦って、レッズは勝ち星なし。オープニングは大金持ちオーナーが話題のチェルシーにホームで破れ、第2戦アストン・ヴィラ、第3戦スパーズはともにスコアレス・ドロー。監督の進退問題を取りざたするメディアも出てきた中でのダービー。そんな不安を吹き飛ばすところまではいかないが、なかなか素晴らしいゲームだった。

I’ve watched re-run of Merseyside derby, Everton v. Liverpool on TV this afternoon. Of course you do not know I’m a little bit Reds fan. In the long run, I always love not so strong squad. Liverpool, however, has various star players from the world in fact. And that’s why Houllier’s kids could show marvelous games, I’m so regret to say “sometimes” as the beginning of last season. Just like late of last season, the Reds couldn’t fly high until last weekend. At last, they stunned me with its excellent performance of such players as Eml Hadji Diouf, Milan Baros, Harry Kewell, Vladimir Smicer and Michael Owen. It was really fantastic. Reds, keep on going!

夕方、健康保険の支払いを済ませ、図書館でジョン・アーヴィングの「熊を放つ」上巻を再び借りる。アーヴィングの処女長編は、これまで読んだ作品とは違う雰囲気でなかなかペースがつかめない。
In the evening, I went to library and borrowed John Irving’s “Setting Free the Bears” translated to Japanese by Haruki Murakami again.

昨日と今日、久しぶりに長い時間電車に揺られながら移動した。旅のお供はジョージ・ハリスンの遺作「Brainwashed」。死後、息子とジェフ・リンが仕上げた実にいい唄がたくさん詰まっています。
Yesterday and today, I’ve seen all kinds of people on the train to and from Ito, Shizuoka, and my company was music by the Beatle, who passed away before completing the album. His son, Dhani, and his longtime friend/collaborator Jeff Lynne completed the recordings, released late in 2002, nearly a year after George’s death, as Brainwashed.
