    025 連花開的聲音都沒有

    025 連花開的聲音都沒有

    沒有人知道它們的意義 / 但知道它們的安靜 / 交通燈知道 / 欄杆知道 / 郵筒知道 / 城市的衣服是安安靜靜的 / 連花開的聲音都没有 /// Featured book:《連花開的聲音都没有》 西草
     
    Thoughts: 有一刻,我喺度諗…真係好呀…可以同一班同我差唔多年紀又鍾意寫詩嘅朋友一齊食飯。 但係又偏偏得我自己一個係寫英文。如果有一日,我啲中文都好似大家咁好就好啦。

    024 他的夜從來不曾是夜

    024 他的夜從來不曾是夜

    也許她會偷偷地躲在棉被 / 用手機翻開那些不敢看的訊息 / 指尖在刪除的版面上 / 猶豫幾分鐘 /// Featured book:《漁父》黎漢傑
     
    Thoughts: 你寫嘅親人,我未能夠原諒。你寫嘅感情,我曾經盼望可以遇見。當時嘅我十分不完整,住喺一個每日都要揸車嘅國家。冇一條高速公路通往香港文學。詩,離我更遠。

    023 思念還繼續在海面摺疊

    023 思念還繼續在海面摺疊

    還不夠理解你的愛 / 還站立在海螺、船隻和沙灘之間 / 直到蟹子在沙面和潮水簽下分手信 / 時閒刮掉肚子上的橙皮紋 / 思念還繼續在海面摺疊 /// Featured book:《尖削與圓渾之間》米米
     
    Thoughts: 新書發佈會嗰日,我遲到咗少少,所以企咗喺後面。第一件事就買咗你本書,想喺你讀詩嘅時候我都可以跟住啲文字。當時嘅我總係覺得,如果我唔能夠理解,就唔會識得欣賞。

    022 悼亡

    022 悼亡

    愛為死者締造了/ 永久的聯盟 / 你們緊緊擁抱 / 在長長的死亡名單中 /// Featured book:《在天涯 : 北島詩選》北島
     
    Thoughts: 六月頭。公園裏面有好多着制服嘅人。佢地正在模仿其他着制服嘅人行路嘅姿態。我趁落雨之前返屋企,換上舒適嘅心境,嘗試同大家讀一篇北島嘅作品。全部寫於1989年後,詩人被迫流亡海外嘅時候。

    021 我的身體在延綿 / Transition Mixtape 4 of 4

    021 我的身體在延綿 / Transition Mixtape 4 of 4

    今次揀嚟嘅樂隊,建立左我對香港(同澳門)獨立音樂嘅第一個印象。我零九年搬返嚟香港之後睇嘅第一個show係MLA嘅失業救濟音樂會,喺西灣河,一個室內運動場裏面。我自己一個去,仲買咗一本黃色封面嘅詩集。
     
    These bands built my first impression of Hong Kong (and Macao)’s indie music scene. I recall seeing MLA in 2009. I went by myself and came away with a poetry collection. Not the kind of item I expected to find on a merch table.

    020 迷惘夜裏換上黑色風衣 / Transition Mixtape 3 of 4

    接近凌晨漫無目的地上咗部電車,經過中環嘅時候想起一對樂隊,就決定不如一齊漫遊八十年代嘅非主流,了解佢哋當時對呢個城市嘅想像同盼望。如果嗰陣我大個啲我一定會出去睇佢哋。89年嘅暑假,剛讀完小學三年級嘅我就被移民。
     
    Because I hopped onto a tram and thought why not a detour into the 80s non-mainstream. Had I at least been a teenager I would have gone out to see them but I wasn’t even double-digit when I was taken away from HK in the summer of ‘89. Here’s the playlist: www.atomicheart.fm
