"Adam Lambert: Cool, Calm and Eclectic", LA Times, November 8, 2009

The singer’s genre-busting major label debut, ‘For Your Entertainment,’ drops Nov. 23, and it just might make him an American idol all over again.

Kicking off another typical seven-day work week in the offices of his management company 19 Entertainment, Adam Lambert fixed his gaze on his own pretty face. Scattered across his publicist’s desk were proof sheets from a photo session with the singer, who will release his debut album on RCA Records, “For Your Entertainment,” Nov. 23. The shots captured Lambert in typical glam-god poses: peacock, street tough, space oddity, freaky adventurer in the boudoir of the damned.

Adam Lambert Billboard interview (Led Zeppelin totally cleared Whole Lotta Love because of him)

Posted 2009-07-03 (金) 午後9:20 by terra
Some really interesting tidbits in this interview with Adam. This is one of the more insightful replies I’ve heard from him, probably cos the questions weren’t dumb and the interviewer, Fred Bronson actually did his homework). The highlight for me was the Led Zeppelin tidbit. Led Zeppelin (or I’m guessing Jimmy Page in this case) cleared Whole Lotta Love just because it was Adam and knew he could do the song justice (Yes Gokey I still haven’t forgiven you for butchering Dream On)

Japanese Idioms

Posted 2007-04-02 (月) 午後8:58 by terra

I’ve been hearing this phrase, 蛇の道は蛇, several times so I decided to work my lazy ass and find out what it actually means. In the end, I got led to this pretty neat Japanese idiom website: ことわざの参考書. Will slowly work my way through the site. Japanese idioms are really cool. There were a couple of nice ones used in 彩雲国物語アニメ, which I’ve unfortunately cleanly forgotten. Time to work my brain!

先日スラッシュドットに面白い記事が書かれてある。その記事によると、アメリカの有名な大学MITが色んな教材を公開してくれた。そのプロジェクトはMITOpenCourseWareと呼ぶ。

これはいいなと思って、MITウェブサイトのリンクをクリックして、日本語についての教材を参照して見た。アドバンス日本語の資料を読めば、読むほど面白くなりそうな気がする。読み物ばかりではなく、mp3や、ビデオクリップも収集している。もっと大切なのは、全部無料で、誰でもその教材を参照できる。本当に新鮮な感じ！日本語が上手になるには、努力や、興味が必要となる。もっと読むこと、もっとアニメ、ドラマを見ること。勉強の機会を見つけ、勉強し、いつか上手になるはずだ。
