A review over Julie's Work
http://www.sapoavec.ca/
--------------
It is the first review that I write on a music album.
In this kind of review I mostly tried to listen to what I wanted to listen. I tried to drag out all my own feeling out of your music. That’s why it is sometimes hard for human being to understand each others’ opinion. It is basically what happens. “”I listen to your songs and I listen to what I want to hear which is not necessary what you are saying””.
I had to correct my poor English and edit it a thousand time. When I was reading it over and over I noticed I used confusion a lot. Perhaps that is all I got from your music.
Anyways, thank you for giving me the honor to do that so. Although I know that it is the weirdest one. Desperately hope it’d help.
If I knew what you were saying that would be great.
#1-
The sounds of wooden wind chimes are great. They are such a great start.
00:47 : It gives a weird feeling. If you meant that by making this part of music you have made it dude.
1:36 : you start singing beautifully.
2:13 : The way you start singing is so languid. I didn’t like that. I think that was irrelevant to the sense of your song.
2:31 : sounds like a satire to me.
3:37 : I don’t think this way of singing has any thing to do with the main stream of the song.
#2-
00:22 : oh man! It is great up to here.
01:05 : it is also great.
You know what? This song gives me a feeling. It is a combination of raw childish dreams. Those childish dreams that there is always an answer for. These dreams induce themselves into my mind by the guitar you play in the back. Meanwhile the instrument that plays the solo has a very sad theme. This sad theme is a complain about the hopeless real life and it also laughs to the guitar’s childish dreams!!! I couldn’t figure out how to relate the vocal to either of these (guitar in the back or the sad solo). 4:11 is the moment that two of them (guitar and sad solo) sink in vagueness and perhaps in the darkness while the glowing sparks of happiness are ascending.
#3-
confusion in night. And all of a sudden in the end of the darkness, life pops up. The frog’s sound. I imagined a “looser” with his negative look towards life.
Confusion, lost, imagination, fainting in the end(4:20)
#4-……………..
At this point I figured a problem that I had with your music. Your music is full of feelings and “various” images of life(represented by different instrument playing simultaneously in minor and major keys together). My mind is not able to follow up them all. And besides my poor mind is not able to converge or concentrate on a feeling. Every time I try to settle with an image or feeling in your music, another feeling show up and ……confuses a bit.
2:15 : this is a good example of what I said above. The accordion gives a completely different feeling of what I get from the rest of the instrument. I can not match this part with the main part of this track.
#5-
Confusion. All the sounds are giving me this feeling up to 00:49. I can not understand it.
2:09-2:49 : I imaging that a really fake self confident person is talking about himself.
3:35 : It is where I started commutating with this music. The interesting part is that I imagined a “looser” that has got drunk by himself. The theme of the vocal does not give me a “drunk” feeling though!!! ( It should have though “I think”). The strength of the sound of the accordion is really well set here.
#6-
This is one of your best
#7-……..
#8-
Here up to 00:49 I have seen the best combination and use of accordion.
#9-
I am really scared of going back home. It is funny that you have to leave where you are leaving now. (my sentences are showing the kind of confusion I got from your music) . They are all in contradiction.
1:00 1:15 : I don’t think that accordion is a good choice for this part. Why did you choose accordion. Why not violin for example?
3:10 : It represents your unconsciousness that want to lead you in a certain way( which your consciousness might not be interested in)
4:30 5:00 : desperate, touching and beautiful.
*** you know what Julie! There is a lot sound! I can not get a converging feeling out of it.
#10-
4:30 : I don’t know for some reasons your past memories that I am a kind of clueless about came into my mind.
#11-
This song has a kind of convergence that I believed was missed in the other songs. It is probably because of the fact I listened to it a hundred time.

داشتم به موهأی زیر بغلم فکر میکردم. نمیدونم چرا چند وقت شده بود که بو بعدی میداد. شاید به خاطره سیگار بود. همه بدنم ۱ کرختی بعدی پیدا کرده بود. ۱ چیزی توع صورتم بهم آدمای دورو برم فحش میداد. از بین همه این صحنههای جالب تنها درز ما تحت دختر چاقی که با ۱ پسر لاغر مظلوم صحبت میکرد میدیدم. در عین انزوأ کامل از صدها آدم اطرافم، احساس مسخ شدگی باحالی بهم دست داده بود. احساس میکردم کارهای رو که باید انجام بدمو دادم و وقت رفتن. نمیدونم چرا این شعر داریوش رو زمزمه میکردم.
بو گندم مال من هر چی که دارم مال تو، ۱ وجب خاک مال من هر چی میکارم مال رای تو.

ویلچر
همه رویاهاشو تو حرکت پاهأی دوستش میدید.ولی افسوس که همه ریهش تو پاهأی آدم دیگی بود که هر لحظه امکان رفتنش بود. بعضی وقتا که دوستش اشکشو میدی سعی میکرد که دلداریش بده. بهش میگفت که منم یه زمانی بچه بودم و نمیتونستم راه برم. واسه همین مجبور بودم چار دستو پا ر زمین بخزم. تو باید خوشحال باشی چون حداقل تو روی ویلچر هستی. تو هم ۱ روز خوب میشی و ما میتونیم با هم بازی کنیم. ولی خوب ویلچر رون حقیقت رو خوب میدونست. میدانست که تو سرزمین ه اون حتا بهترین ویلچر رونها با صدها برابر تلاش هم نمیتونستن به گرد پأی ایکی از اون پادارها برسان.
وقتی اون موجود پادار از جامعه پادارها بازنده میشد و به طرف ویلچر رون میومد، بد از تحسین شدن گامهش دوباره به همون جمع بر میگشت. دوستش بعضی وقتا که از زمین بعضی بر میگشت، با دیدن چرخأ اهنیی ویلچر به ویلچر رون شک میکرد. مخصوصا وقتی که قطر های اشک پاهأی بی حس ویلچر رون رو خیس کرده بود این شک به اوج خودش میرسید. شبها بد از جنبش دوپأیی وقتی میخواستن با هم به خونه برگردان دوستش روی پاهأی ویلچر رون میخوابید و ویلچر رون اونو تا خونشن میبرد.
ایک روز تو زمین مسابقه دوستش با ایک آدم پادار دیگه به سمتش اومد. شک و تردید به رویاهش تمام وجودشو فرا گرفت. بعد از مرور آخرین نگاهها اون دو تا موجود دو پا با شادیی وصف نشدنی شروع به دویدن و دور شدن از اون کردن. رویهاش با سرعت زیادی شروع به دور شدن ازش کردن. با یک حرکت سریع ویلچرشو به سمت اونا چرخوند.و با تمام انرژی که داشت شروع به روندن به سمت اونا کرد. ولی خوب تلاش زیادش در مقأیسه با حرکت موزون پاهأی اونا کاری از پیش نمیبرد. به سرعتش اضافه میشد و کم کم احساس میکرد که ویلچر تحمل اون سرعت و قدرت بازوهأی اونو نداره. ویلچر از کنترل خارج شده بود. در حالیکه چرخ هأ ویلچر آغشته از خون تولهأی دستش شده بود، سعی در کنترل ویلچر داشت. ولی ظاهراً ویلچر به یک موتور قدرتمند تبدیل شده بود که هیچ چیز جلودارش نبود. با عبور از روی سنگ کوچکی ناگهان ویلچر واژگون شد و اون رو به گوشه ائ پرتاب کرد. وقتی چشماشو باز کرد تیکه هأیی خورد شده ویلچر رو اطرافش دید.
دستاشو تو سیناش جمع کرد و سعی کرد سینشو از زمین بلند کنه. زانوهاشو رو تو شیکمش آورد و چار دستو پا روی زمین قرار گرفت. فاصله زیادی تا رویاهاش باقی نمونده بود. با فشار یکی از دستش روی زانوش از روی زمین بلند شد. با دستأی خونیش گرد و غبار رو بدنشو تکوند و به سمت زمین بازی شروع به دویدن کرد.

انتخابات
ظاهراً این روزا بحث بحث سیاست و انتخابات هست. همه برو بچی که خلاصه مثل خودم آن رو از گوش کوبیده در مورد سیاست تشخیص نمیدن، افتادن ر ضعیفه انتخابات و دارن با تلاش هر چه بیشتر تجاوزش میکنن. منم با خودم گفتم چرا که نه. مگه مال من زیگیل داره؟ یا خار داره؟ یا خوب ختنه نشده؟ کدامش بالاخره؟ به نظر من مهمترین معزلی که تو ایران الان وجود داره مساله امنیت اجتماعی. من واقعا خوشحالم که کندیدهأ کنونی همگی به این مشکل اشاره کردن. برادران صاحب تلویزیون خصوصی و "یا من یا اون" هر دور متذکر این نکته شده آن که گشت ارشاد تامین امنیت اجتماعی نمیکنه. همانطوری که برادر معلممون از "باغ وحش جهانی" قبل از انتخابات ریاست جمهوری فرمودن که مدل موی جوانان ما امنیت اجتماعی رو تهدید نمیکنه وبعد از انتخاب ملی ایشون نشون دادن که مشکل مو نیست بلکه کل هیکل به غیر از مو هست. من در این نقطه از مقاله دارم به ربطهأی جالبی بین امنیت اجتماعی و مو و سعید امامی و واجبی میرسم. ولی خوب همه ما آگاه هستیم که اینا از همون تکتیکی که باراک اوباما ه فقید در انتخابات ریاست جمهوری استفاده کرد دارن میکنن!!! ۱ نکته جالب دیگه کپی برداری از برو بعکس امریکای هست که میگن.I will do so as the president .....

Entry for August 22, 2007
It happened last night when I received a sudden phone call from a guy I barely knew. He told to take my ass all the way to café campus where the action was going on for 7$ pitchers.When I got there at 10:30 there was a long line-up in front going side to side like a maze. I stood in front of all my friends in the line-up guarding our spot. After 45 mintues, when we were about to get in, I saw a girl sneaking ahead of us from the tail to the head of the line-up. When she started settling in her new position, I started a conversation over my shoulder
Angel: Was it?
Mask: You know you are not allowed.
And she started going back to her earlier position. As she was passing me by, I grabbed her hand softly and looked in her eyes saying “hold on a second! I think I like you to be in front of us”. She thanked and looked at her friends and me asking for permission to let them join her. I turned my head back and forth to she and her friends. While I was staring in here eyes, I gave her a huge smile and approval of their re-union.
Chubby: no we are not (with a strong British accent)
I started showing higher values by socializing with random people and the chubby girl. I gave Angel a chance to think about me and a kind of regret not talking to me. After a few minutes I got back to her saying:
Mask: where are you from?
Angel: guess?
Mask: You are from heaven. You are the angel God promised men.
A wide laughter appeared on her face and then she came and kneeled to pray in front of me as she was practicing Buddhism. I was stunned. I was in. We bought our tickets and after 20 minutes of fun I joined them in the first floor. They were dancing with guys wearing construction workers helmets. I grabbed a pitcher and sat a few seat away from them with my friend. For a few minutes, I ignored them and went dancing with my friends in the dance floor. Then I headed back to them dancing in the corner and did a little of my swing dancing tricks. The British girl liked it and I saw Angel’s jealousy. We moved up to the second floor and I found Angel in the arms of construction workers dancing. I though I blew it. I took a chair and sat next to Chubby and I saw Angle coming over to chat with the British while ignoring me. I was out of the frame or at least that’s what I thought. A new good song came over. I gave it the last shot. While leaning back, I extended my hands asking for hers saying if she wants to dance. I grabbed her hands and softly press it. I got a pressure back as an IOI. We started swing dancing and I started teaching here an aggressive way where bodies seductively rub each other. When I was pulling her towards me for the last time, I kissed her neck. She thanked and walked away to her friends. They were leaving. As she was wearing her coat I went among Angel and Chubby asking for her phone. She said I gave it to you already. I though she was drunk and might have mistaken me. I asked once more and she insisted not has already given it to me. I said bye and left the club.
