先ずフランス

この美しいアールは一体？スケーターのために作ったとしか思えない・・・

二つ目のやつとか「塀」的な建造物だと思うんだけど、設計者がただの直線的なものじゃつまらないから、ちょっと曲線を使って遊び心のあるものにしようよ、シンプルな形で、と思いついて、作られた気がするんだけど。

シンプルにデザインの美しさを極めるとスケート仕様になる、ということなのだろうか。Love Parkもそうだし。

それからフランスの警官てインライン履いているんだ？やっぱりインラインってロックじゃない、体制寄りなものなのか？（haha...ごめんよインラインスケーター）

ガイド役はEric Antoine。Planet Moustacheでゴキゲンなパートを残した人だ。P-U-L-Pの曲で・・！

あえて歌詞を置いときますw

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,
that's where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
and in thirty seconds time she said,

"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you."

Well what else could I do -
I said "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money,
she just laughed and said,
"Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people,
like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right,
cos when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do what common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people etc...

（それから、これは君の作品？　http://rdiffusion.free.fr/pdf/stimultania-antoine-livre.pdf
凄くかっこいいね）

BLUE HERB

昨日リキッドルームでBLUE HERBのライヴを見ました。
久々に心洗われる音楽を聴いたような気がします。
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/THA_BLUE_HERB
（実は彼等のことよく知らなかったので恥ずかしながらウィキで基本情報をメモ↑）

モリッシーに「君の人生を歌え」という曲がありますが、僕が結局聴きたいのは「君の歌」なのだ、と思う。モリッシーはやっぱりずっと「僕の歌」を歌ってきたし、レイ・デイヴィスも確実にそうだし、BLUE HERBも間違いなく。

「彼の歌」や「みんなの歌」を歌っている人達が多い中、「君の歌」を歌っている人は、ある意味ハードコアな存在だし、知的に活発なタイプだと思う。無思考を強いられることを知性が許さないのだろう。そして彼等の作る曲は胸にいっぱい訴えかける。

（僕のオールタイムフェイバリットの一人であるピップ・プラウドは究極の「その手」であるが、もし「彼の歌」を歌っているとしたら、その「彼」は誰？って逆に興味が沸くかもしれないが・・）

Sing your life
any fool can think of words that rhyme
many others do
why don't you?
do you want to?
Sing your life
just walk right up to the microphone
and name
all the things that you love
all the things that you loathe
sing your life
all the things that you love
all the things that you loathe
oh sing your life
oh sing your life
Others sang your life
but now's your chance to shine
and have the pleasure of
saying what you mean
the rare pleasure of
meaning what you sing
oh, make no mistake, my friend
all of this will end
so sing it now
all the things you love
all the things you loathe
oh sing your life
all the things that you love
all the things that you loathe
oh sing your
oh sing your
Don't leave it all unsaid
somewhere in the wasteland of your head
and make no mistake, my friend
your pointless life will end
but before you go
can you look at the truth?
You have a lovely singing voice
a lovely singing voice
and all of those
who sing on key
they stole the notion
from you and me

う〜ん、まるでヒップホップのライムのような内容じゃないですか？
