Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
By developing a flair for tight, melodic hooks on Star, Tanya Donelly unexpectedly achieved the crossover success with Belly that eluded her with the Throwing Muses and the Breeders. Evidently inspired by such success and eager to prove that Belly was a full-fledged band, not just a solo project, Donelly and company made a bid for stardom with their second album, King. Veteran producer Glyn Johns gives the band an appealingly punchy sheen, and with the assistance of Tom Gorman and new bassist Gail Greenwood, Donelly cuts away her remaining arty preciousness, concentrating solely on big pop songs. While some fans will miss the occasional detour into spacy dream pop, Belly's makeover is quite convincing, and the cloaked stardom of "Super-Connected," the quirky hooks of "Now They'll Sleep," and the epic ballad "Judas My Heart" are neglected gems of post-alternative modern rock. Ironically, such shiny hooks didn't make Belly stars -- it lost them their original fan base, and by the time the record was released in 1995, modern rock radio was concentrating solely on harder guitar rock, so King was overlooked and the band broke up shortly afterward. The album and the group deserved a better fate.

美韓軍演一波波,北韓聲討李明博叛賊,新聞稿如下:
李明博政權向朝鮮同胞的胸口"開槍放炮插匕首",實在令人恨之入骨,且看北韓的"正義鐵拳",將向仇人發出咆哮!!...........................真是經典啊!

我們自以為在演洛基,KO了就能光榮謝幕,沒想到門一踹卻是打不完殭屍,而我只有一把散彈槍,和一條OK蹦...
很奇怪,"魔球"裡最感人的兩幕,一個是小布聽女兒在樂器店裡唱歌,一個是小布在車裡聽女兒唱歌.......是誰說這是棒球片的?
Life is a Maze, Love is a Riddle.
活得好,不外乎:吃好丶睡好。除此之外,沒別的了。
年少時候,我們追求無限可能,複雜難懂的東西,例如愛情;年老之後,我們嚮往回歸原點,單純實在的東西,例如信仰..........和金錢。
修身,齊家,治國,平天下,僅做到一項,吾願足矣。有誰能做到全部,恭喜你...........ㄟ,醫生啊,這裡有病人。
And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song, where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong.
