作为一只网虫，我想没有什么能比网速更让人心动的了。自从日前一不小心进入了小区网络的路由，我着实窃喜了一阵。接着又请教了位内行的朋友：加强了全局防火墙限制、取消了本机的流量限制。呼，不是我有多黑，实在是网管兄太菜了。其实也没有多快，测试了一下个人最多也就 2M，不过比起之前的 50k，这已经够了。至少 SHOUTcast Online 是没问题的了，哈哈！
Hinder，来自美国 Oklahoma，网上搜了一下，发现他的 Lips Of An Angel 在 2006 颇为称颂，排行榜反应不俗。这首歌节奏动听，非常 Nickelback，中间的一段吉他 SOLO 很出色。不过个人觉得 Better Than Me 配合主唱吐音混浊的嗓音似乎来得更具特色一点，典型滴刚柔并济，豪迈狂放之余比 Chad Kroeger 多了 Steven Typer 式的歇斯底里。当然，可能是我先入为主吧，嗯，恰到好处，我喜欢！
一张专辑，挺新人啊。在温哥华录制完成的这首张专辑《Extreme Behavior》由 Brian Howes (Closure、DDT) 担纲制作，混音工程邀来曾与 Aerosmith、AC/DC 等摇滚大团合作的高手 Mike Fraser 操刀，主唱 Austin Winkler 和鼓手 Cody Hanson 则负责全辑歌曲的创作。值得一提的是，不论专辑封套或官方页面，那调调都显得格外“俗气”：SEXY ，哈。这也算是特色的一方面吧，祝福五个小伙在追求商业成功之余也能出些类似 I Don't Want To Miss a Thing 的动人之作。毕竟起码，一把嘶哑而性格的声线，不是人人都有滴啊。

Hinder - Better Than Me
I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I wouldn't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend
That I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
Freeman (63)
