Is a album title from Explosions in the Sky, i bought the CD like 2 years ago, the title just sorta sticks.
For some reason i thought about Portland a lot today.
Every time i hear something Post-Rock-Y, whatever that means, i think about Portland.
Those freezing rain, those coffee shops, and those basements i've been. The crowded basement suffocated by cigarette smoke and the smell of sweat. The floor is always wet and dirty, and I'd be holding a cold beer, standing on my toes, trying to at least see something through the heads.
I'm not a big fan of Explosions in the Sky, i, like, listened to it 2 times in 2 years...yeah...there are some bands like them in Taiwan too, u'd think it's just instruments, how different can they be?
but honestly, they're still very different. For me these so called Post Rock bands in Taiwan, Aphasia, Sugar Plum Ferry...etc they're still missing something, things are too light and thin in their music, and they really really lack surprises.
But anyhow, i honestly don't really care that much about these bands.
I just all of a sudden miss everyone.
Sometimes when i'm driving alone from work to home, i ask myself if i would wanna go back to live in Portland again. I'm pretty happy about my life in Taipei so far, my work is challenging and i'm kinda obsess with it.
I think I have the same answer i had when i was in Portland, i remember telling this to a friend: If i could be god one day, i will move the continents and make Portland right next to Taipei.
Maybe we should start praying for an earthquake.
Anyway, just wondering how people are doing, and i miss everyone.
