Green Day - Album: 21st century breakdown

Green Day is a rock band whom I've known for years.
But there was just 1 song of them in my music library named Wake me up when September ends which is very good.
5 days ago, they just released their new album 21st century breakdown.
I knew I would love it right when I saw its cover at a music page.
And it didn't let me down. This album is surely a MASTERPIECE!
No words to say but GREAT.
I ain't no a rock fan but this album really really does bewitch me.
You like rock music, don't you? It will be an enormous mistake if you don't hear this album.
It's a safe bet that this album will be another big succeed of them.
Grammy nominations are for sure :x.

The album is a story about a young couple Christian and Gloria. Lyrically, this album is also very meaningful and practical. It talks about politics, American dreams, antiwar... Therefore, you should listen to all of the songs, no skipping and in the order of track number from 1 to 18.
Recommend: 21st century breakdown, iViva la Gloria!, Viva la Gloria (little girl), 21 guns, Know your enemy, Murder city...
Now, enjoy it.

Bus


I like buses.
I like being independent.
I like feeling free.
I like being alone in the public,
I like being silent in noises of life when I bus.
I like watching the city through the glass window of the bus.
I like the smiles and the soft voice of nice inspectors. (unfortunately, you don't often find them in Vietnam :)) )
I like seeing people from all walks of life.
I like knowing things in life.
I like hearing "cheesy" music which the drivers usually turn on.
I like the low price that it costs me.
I like all the bright sides and the dark sides of traveling by bus.
In short, I like buses.

I've bussed since I was 11 or 12.
A host of beloved memories. Lots of things to remember.
What've I seen, what've I gone through on bus is a part of my world.
Bus connected closely to the people I've met, the things happened in the past.

Now I think I don't like buses because I love buses.

But now, my dad me forbid to bus because he thinks it's too dangerous for his "only child" (and it is).
Dad was right. Vietnamese bus drivers are careless. Many people was run over to death by buses.
I still love bus but I have to say goodbye to it.
If only bus system in Vietnam was safe like other countries.

Gorillaz

I've known this animated band for a long time. But at that time, I thought they screwed up. Yesterday, I just happened to remember a band with a freaking style that I had known. I google and listen to their songs again and I love them immediately. Listen to them yo, you'll like them.

My favourite: Clint Eastwood

Another: Feel good Inc.

A touching clip

I've just found a special clip. The song named Hoa nhip cung con tim. This song might be not really special in melody but the meaning is warm. 20 famous Vietnamese stars have sung that song together. I like My Tam and Hong Nhung the most.

I rarely listen to Vietnamese songs but this song is worth hearing. The clip is very touching. Many beauty spots were shown. Some spots are just plain but it's meaningful and lovable. From the litmitless green paddy fields to the bustling fish-holds. From the small peaceful villages to the modern lively city. From the happy innocent children to the respectable old people. Everywhere, everything, everyone arouses the warm love and peace deep inside every Vietnamese heart.

This clip is brimful of happiness, hope, love and vitality in Vietnam. I've seen many clip about my country but this time it makes me feel some thing stranger: that's love. Suddenly, I feel like loving my Vietnam badly. I'm not gonna promise to build this country or some stuffs like that but at least, I always know that deep down of my heart: I love Vietnam.
