Most of the North Island enjoyed fair weather on New Year's Day but it was a different story for the South Island, and the rain is set to spread. * enjoy라는 용어를 이렇게 사용한다. * different story가 사용되는 문장 * be set to 도 사용해보기 좋은 구문 MetService forecaster Aidan Pyselman said the first day of 2021 brought clear skies for much of the North Island, with hotspots reaching 28C in Masterton and Blenheim. * hotsp..

DEAR ABBY: While researching my family, I discovered that my now-elderly mother was charged with the murder of a toddler 40 years ago, before I was born. She was never convicted and never mentioned it. However, after reading her testimony and things she's said after the incident, I have no doubt she is guilty. * I have no doubt she is guilty This has me reeling because she has always been a grea..

DEAR ABBY: I need help moving past the end of a longtime friendship. I don't know what happened. My friend, my former college roommate, just drifted away. After school we continued to be friends -- not besties, but we would meet for coffee or dinner a few times a year. Fast-forward 25 years. She called me the day she left her husband, 10 years ago, to tell me the news. I was her emotional lifeli..

DEAR ABBY: I'm 54 and afraid to tell my spouse I want a divorce even though I'm in an unhappy marriage. I told him years ago that I no longer loved him and didn't want to be married anymore. His reply, "I have enough love for both of us." This year will be our 15th together. I am spouse No. 3. I think he thinks that if there isn't another person I'm in love with that we can continue like this. I..

DEAR ABBY: When I was in teens, I was kicked out of the house multiple times by my parent. Mind you, I hadn't done anything wrong. To this day, I'm still trying to figure out what I did to deserve it because it happened so many times. My parent would get mad, tell me to leave and then beg me to come back home--all withing a three-day time span. Luckily, other family members took me in when these..

Too Fast For Love 4:11 9. On With The Show 4:04 10. Stick To Your Guns 4:20 묵직한 드러밍, 특이한 보컬을 가진 좋은 밴드다. 음악적으로는 흔한 LA 메탈 수준 이상을 보여준 팀인데, 오히려 본인들의 쇼맨쉽에 가리워지지 않았나 싶다. On With The Show는 지금들어도 기타와 드럼소리가 듣기 좋은 ..

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Daryl," gets furious every time I talk to my ex, my two oldest kids' father. The only thing we discuss is my kids' issues, but Daryl loses it completely. He starts calling me names and says I don't respect him even though I do. I keep assuring him that there's nothing inappropriate being talked about (he is present during all the conversations since we talk over the phone..

DEAR ABBY: Years ago, I met a man through golf, and we developed a casual friendship. I lost track of him for a few years, but when I heard his wife was being treated with chemo for cancer, I took them food and offered my support. * lose track of * chemo: chemotherapy 암환자 화학요법 * offer my support As our friendship grew stronger, we began playing more golf and became "refriended."

스포티파이를 듣다가 특이하게 독일 밴드인데 블루스를 적절히 하는 밴드를 발견했다. Blues Company라는 밴드인데, 괜찮은 블루스 곡이 꽤 많다. Damn! Let's Jam (1991), Silent Nite Public Relations (1993), Crippled Mind Vintage (1995), Cold Rain

After weeks of Covid-19 restrictions Aucklanders are waking to new freedoms this morning under alert level 2. And the Ministry of Health has revealed more details of what's believed to be the true first Covid-19 case in New Zealand. The case came to light when a man sought Covid-19 testing after developing a sore throat. His weak positive result and serology test results indicated an old infecti..

Seoul seems to have shown the way to mitigating both the health and the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. 1. As the United States struggles with a stubbornly persistent pandemic and a stubbornly slow return to economic growth, South Korea seems to have found the recipe to succeed on both fronts—if it can survive a late-year uptick in new coronavirus cases. 2. In the latest economic p..

See You In Hell, 1983 1. See You In Hell 4:16 2. Dead On Arrival 4:31 3. Liar 2:45 4. Wrath Of The Ripper 3:10 5. Now Or Never 2:50 6. Run For Your Life 3:39 7. The Show Must Go On 7:30 8. All Hell Let Loose 4:23 NWOBHM 시대에 기대주로 부상했으나, 열풍이 오래가지는 않았던 것으로 기억한다. 이 앨범은 1집인데, 들어보면 상당히 묵직하게 휘몰아친다. 80년대판 블랙 사바스가 되지 않을까 하는 기대가 있었을 것 같다. 묵직한 발라드 The Show Must Go On이 제일 좋다.

King Of The Sea 3:41 10. Keep On Keepin' On 4:18 기타리스트가 기타치고 노래부르는 스웨덴 밴드. 속주가 대단한 것에 비해 보컬은 좀 답답한 소리가 나오는데, 전문 보컬을 기용했다면 훨씬 좋은 앨범이 되지 않았을까 하는 생각이 든다. Helloween의 기타리스트 Kai Hansen도 기타치면서 노래부르기가 쉽지 않아서, Michael Kiske..

Moonshine 5:01 9. Sweet Tooth 4:43 10. Over The Green Hills Pt. II 1:58 별 기대없이 들었는데, 블루스를 기반으로 한 하드락을 제대로 하는 밴드의 음악이다. 젊은 나이에 요절한 기타리스트 폴 코조프가 중간중간 연주하는 기타소리가 인상적이고, 보컬 톤도 좋다. 진한 블루스곡 Goin' Down Slow를 비롯해서 대부분의 곡..

All That Is My Own 3:54 앨범 전체 런닝타임이 30분이 채 안된다. 독특한 음색의 니코 목소리를 잘 들을 수 있고 시간이 길지 않으니 질릴 것 같지도 않다. 전체적으로 좋은 곡들이 많은데, Afraid가 특히 예쁘게 들린다.

Can't Be Too Long 6:30 10. Ups And Downs 4:50 3인조 편성의 그랜드펑크레일로드의 데뷔앨범이다. 기타리스트 마크 파너는 노래도 하고 작곡도 하고 다재다능하고, 밴드 멤버 모두 열심히 하는 친구들이라는 인상이 있는 밴드다. 묵직한 Heartbreaker가 발라드로서 좋은 곡이다. Grand Funk, 1969 1.

Feel So Good 6:00 Parchman Farm, Let Me Swim 등은 현란한 드러밍과 격렬한 기타소리가 좋은 편이고, No Need To Worry는 블루스 같은 곡인데, 전체적으로 건질만한 곡은 없어 보인다. 가운데 손가락을 들어 욕을 하는 듯한 뉘앙스의 앨범 표지가 인상적이다. 기타리스트로 Jeff Beck을 영입하려다가 교통사고를 입는 바..

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has clashed with Newstalk ZB host Mike Hosking over her Government's handling of the Covid response and other matters he sought to question her on this morning.
