Teenage Wildlife (1999 Remastered Version)

How’s this for an understatement: David Bowie was a complicated guy. The chameleonic musician and all-around cultural icon, who died earlier this year, had a reputation for being disarmingly gracious and supportive, but could also be curt and mean. When Bowie didn’t like somebody, he let them know, though few people seem to have rubbed him the wrong way like Gary Numan did in the late 1970s. The new-wave pioneer owed a lot to Bowie’s experiments with sound and public image, as did many of the synth poppers who were coming up at the time—but instead of a nod of approval from the Thin White Duke, what they inspired was the sprawling, poison-pen “Teenage Wildlife,” which serves as the centerpiece of Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps). The song’s lyrics are cutting (“Same old thing in brand new drag”), taking aim at Numan and his peers’ obsession with technology and repetition. But as a piece of music, it’s all about Bowie asserting his the scope of his creativity—a gorgeously textured song with the kind of elastic vocal performance that no one else could equal.

It is spring , and there are lots of flowers around us . The song is called , " Don't Pick the Wild Flowers on the Road . " Teresa Teng sang the song .

Chinese New Year series (2) By Keoni Everington CNA staff writer

Now that you have gone through your basic training on Spring Festival faux pas in Part 1 of this series, you need to get ready for the big day -- New Year's Day (大年初一). The first day of the year starts with the first new moon of the first month on the Chinese lunar calendar.

The following are 10 rules to follow specifically on New Year's Day, unless you really want a bad start to your year:

1. Set off fireworks and bang gongs at midnight on New Year's Eve

In addition to the color red, "Nian" (the New Year monster) also greatly fears fire and loud noise. This is why many people set off fireworks, clang gongs and generally make a lot of racket on Chinese New Year's Eve.

2. Don't sleep until after midnight

In addition to tucking money under the pillow, people stay up past midnight to usher in the New Year. Originally the practice was meant to watch out for the crafty "Sui" (祟) creature, or "guard against Sui" (守祟), but now this has become "preserving time" (守歲), to ensure good fortune throughout the year.

3. Don't wake people up

Even though many people may be sleeping in from a long night, avoid the temptation to wake them. If you wake a person up on this day, especially if you call them by name or offer them New Year's greetings, they will have trouble waking up and will need constant prodding to get things done for the whole year.

4. Don't wash your hair

The Chinese character for "hair" (髮) is a homonym with the first character for the Chinese word "fortune" (發財). Washing your hair will wash away this fortune.

5. Wear red underwear and new clothes

It is considered extra good luck if you wear red underwear. Wearing new clothes symbolizes a fresh new start to the coming year.

Chinese New Year and Spring Festival traditions and superstitions.

Chinese New Year series (1) By Keoni Everington CNA Staff Writer

There are a mind bending amount of taboos during the Lunar New Year festival in Taiwan. To help navigate the minefield of numerous do's and don'ts during the two-week Chinese Spring Festival period, this three-part series will give you the lowdown on the basic rules for the overall festival, New Year's Day, and foods one should eat during the Superbowl of Taiwanese holidays.

Spring Festival

The festivities surrounding Chinese New Year, also referred to as Spring Festival, typically run from New Year's Eve until the Lantern Festival (the 15th day of the Lunar New Year). The following are 10 major superstitious practices that are still commonly observed throughout the Spring Festival:

1. Don't break bowls or plates

It is bad luck to break a bowl or plate, but if you do, the remedy is to say 歲歲平安 (Suìsuìpíng'ān). The first character sounds like the sound to "break" (碎), but in this case it is replaced with a homonym that means "age" (歲), and said twice means to live a long life and adds the words "peace" and "safety" (平安) at the end.

2. Don't use negative words

Stay away from terms with negative meaning relating to death, sickness, ghosts, poverty, and especially the number four. Instead, use euphemisms.

3. Clean your entire house before New Year's Day

Be sure to clean every corner of your home before the New Year to get rid of bad luck and bad vibes from your house, and carry the trash out the back door, not the front. The word for dust "chen" (塵) is a homonym with the word for "old" (陳). Do not clean your house on New Year's Day because it will sweep away your good luck.

4. Paste the character "Fu" upside down

The word for "blessing" (福) upside down (倒) is a homonym for the word to "arrive" (到), indicating that fortune will arrive at your home. Bats are also a symbol of blessing and the word for "bat" (蝠) is also a homonym with blessing (福), and turning it upside down mimics the way bats roost. Another option is to place the character for "spring" (春) upside down instead.

5. Paste images of door gods for protection

If you are more concerned about protection from evil than being prosperous, paste images of door gods directly on your front door. Legend has it that there is a ferocious beast called "Nian" (年獸), which comes down from the mountains at this time of year and wreaks havoc. Fortunately, its kryptonite is the color red, so placing red-colored couplets around the door as well as the door gods will keep Nian away.

6. No scissors or knives

It is said that the use of sharp, bladed objects during this festival will cut one's wealth.

7. Don't wear all black or all white outfits

The colors white and black are associated with funerals in East Asia. The best bet is to wear red because it fends off evil spirits and symbolizes prosperity and wealth.

8. Avoid hospital visits

It is traditionally believed that visiting the hospital during the Chinese Spring Festival period is thought to bring on more illness for the coming year, with the important exception of medical emergencies.

9. Don't incur debts

It is considered highly foolhardy to borrow or lend money during the Lunar New Year festival because lending during this period is thought to lead to financial loss, and borrowing is taboo.

10. Place red envelope under pillow on New Year's Eve

In addition to the dreaded Nian, there is another monster called Sui (祟), which does evil deeds to children while they sleep. Legend has it that one family discovered that putting coins in a red envelope under their son's pillow scared Sui away. Since that time, people have placed what is called "suppressing Sui money" (壓祟錢), which also sounds like "suppressing year money" (壓歲錢), thus it is believed it will provide good luck for the whole year.
