文／Quiff（原刊於相信音樂官網‧五月天官網） 五月天※後青春期 「所謂的青春期是沒有終點的。」～阿信 「在《為愛而生》製作後期，我腦海中便逐漸浮現出些略新專輯的雛型概念。」阿信回憶起新專輯的起源。「經歷了《為愛而生》，我不由得去想，在那之後人們的生活又該何去何從，這漫漫人生又該怎麼去揮霍？《後青春期的詩》不僅是《為愛而生》的延續，也是它的對立面。」 從《為愛而生》到現在的兩年間，催生出的不僅僅是一張全新概念專輯，在五月天的五位團員生活間也起了極大波動，石頭與冠佑更是先後成家立業，小玫瑰跟小石頭也相繼呱呱墜地，讓兩人身上多了個父親的頭銜，以及隨之而來的責任。 於此同時，團員們也先後突破了人生一大關卡，全都邁入後青春期的年紀。 (more…)

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets Safe mode, huh? While we had previously assumed only our clearly cursed PCs could fall into such a dark, dark place, apparently we were badly mistaken. The recently launched Giove-B satellite, which is the second bird launched for Europe's next-gen satnav network, was recently sent into some sort of "safe mode" after being "rocked by a surge of space radiation."

Ramona Cruz says: Sure enough, it's a kid's book about grass. But the book is actually a lot more thoughtful than the provocative premise might seem to be at first glance. "It's Just a Plant" is a children's book that takes a similar approach to sex education in talking about another difficult topic.
