rock music

Dec. 23

When I became a Dr. course student, I gave up to follow new rock musics as I was so busy. It has been 30 years since then. At last, I realized that I had to offset my blank days of rock musics to energize my life.

One day of the last summer, I went to a rental agency, TSUTAYA, to borrow some music CDs. I chose the Justin's CD basing on the information on the jackets. Later at the month, I was very surprised when I happened to notice that Justine was male. It was a shock for me. I'm still wondering about everyone know the fact.

Let's forget the bitter memory. Today, I'll rent new rock music CDs this time! Because I know very little about the music scene in recent days, I also have to borrow them on the basis of the information on their jackets. My choices are as follows.

The Offspring：Rise and fall, rage and grace Foo Fighters：Greatest hits Guns N' Roses：Appetite for destruction The Relay Company：i5

The Offspring is one of my few favorite rock bands. I'm enjoining their best album on my JOG time, and that is about it. I also know the name, Guns N' Roses, but have not rent their CD yet.

While I was in TSUTAYA, I looked for the dvd, METAL-HEAD which was introduced by my friend, Mr. F. I was very excited to hear the situation. There was a flagging family in a flagging town. A vagabond heavy-metal lover came to the town and settled in their home. That all I heard from him. I thought "wow it must be my movie! I have to watch it!"  But unfortunately, there was no DVD of the title. So, I ordered the movie to the clerk and I was said that it will be a week to be carried to the store. So I'm looking forward to watching the movie!

Today. I bought a double cheese burger set at the McDonald and went to my office. I threw the Guns N' Roses CD into the iTunes while hearing the music of The Offspring, maintaining the PCs, and compiling the code VASP on the parallel computer. The CPU time for the compilation took more than several hours, it is totally unusual. However, the code is so complex and the optimization process takes most of the long CPU time.

この３０年のブランクを解消すべく最近のミュージックCDを４枚借りてきた．前回は「どーれ，最近のポップミュージックでも聴くべか」と，意気込んでTSUTAYAに向かったのだが，よりによってジャスティン・ビーバーちゃんを借りてきてしまった．何の知識も無いまま，CDジャケットの絵や写真，キャッチコピーを見て借りたのが運の尽きであった．ジャスティンちゃん，あとから男性と知ってしまって，かるい脳しんとう的なショックに見舞われたことは既に書いた通りである．

そんなつらい過去は忘れよう．ロック，ロック，ロックをジャケット借りするのだーっ！　あまり知らないので，今回も，結局ジャケ借りです．

　The Offspring：Rise and fall, rage and grace「上昇と下降，怒りと優雅（？）」
　Foo Fighters：Greatest hits
　Guns N' Roses：Appetite for destruction　「破壊への欲望（？）」
　The Relay Company：i5　（iPhone系の接頭辞＋５?　もしかして５人グループ？）

Offspringは最近お気に入りのパンク系バンド．とは行っても，ベスト盤をジョグのBGMに聞いているだけ．Guns N' Rosesは昔から，たまーに聞いてちょっとは覚えている．今はまだ，この程度の知識に過ぎない．

ついでにF氏に紹介された「メタルヘッド」のDVDを探す．ヘビメタの風来坊と疲れ切った家族，これだけ聞いただけで何が起こるのかわくわくしてしまう．が，無い．緑が丘のTSUTAYAには無かったのだ．結局，お取り寄せレンタルサービスを利用することにした．来るまで１週間ほどかかるみたいです．今から楽しみです．

今日は日曜．お昼前にマクドでダブルチーズバーガーセット（ホットコーヒーMサイズ）を買い，いざ，仕事場へ．Guns N' RosesのCDをiTunesに読み込ませながらOffspringを流し，PCを整備しつつ，大学の並列マシンでVASPの最新バージョンのコンパイルに精を出す．コンパイルだけで数時間かかるっていうのは異常です．どんだけ複雑なコードなんでしょうか．ま，いっか．もうっ，ロック聞きまくるぞーっ！

夕方から雫石プリンスホテルに移動．
明日は朝からスキー三昧の予定．
