    一个年轻时唱punk的小妞因为一场嗓子的病转而去唱folk从而取得了极大的成功,并且获得了grammy的提名,这就是feist小姐的传奇人生。

      
        去年
    9月我在电驴上看到一个很美丽的唱片封面——feist的《The Reminder》一个美丽的女人的影子,镶嵌着几道彩色条纹,我毫不犹豫地把它下载到电脑里,听了几遍后喜欢《1234》的俏皮,喜欢《I feel it all》的清新,喜欢《my moon my man》的节奏,和歌词,The Reminder这专辑让人很放松。


      带着这种良好的感觉我去搜索
    feist的资料:他是加拿大人,二十几岁时就开始组punk乐队,已经小有名气,并且开始进行地下巡演,但是正当feist的事业蒸蒸日上是她却意外得了一场咽喉疾病,并被告知可能再也无法唱歌了,幸运的是最终她战胜了疾病,只不过嗓音更加沙哑了,她开始重新思考自己的音乐风格,决定专向清新的folk风格。


      她在
    04年发行了第一张个人专辑《let it die》。
    我听《
    let it die》这张专辑是感觉她就是更清新活泼的keren ann,她们俩长得都非常相似。Mushaboom这首小曲非常可爱,有一种走在乡间小路的感觉,她唱每一句歌词都要拐几个弯;let it die是典型的优雅舒缓的民谣,适合入睡前听;one evening是我最喜欢的,70年代酒吧舞曲的感觉,动感又不喧闹,让我忍不住跟着节奏摇头晃脑;L'amour Ne Dure Pas Toujours是一首很法国的歌曲,歌词法语,唱腔法国化,配器也是法国,可以说是很装逼的一首歌;《Secret Heart》是最适合放松的一首,可以没心没肺的忘记烦恼;Inside And Out依稀可以看出feist早年摇滚的影子,是一首摇滚民谣,配乐却电子化,很有特色的一首。


      她的首张专辑是我听过的最好听的民谣专辑之一,光听歌肯定是不能满足我的需要了,于是我开始上
    youtube上搜寻feistMV,果然视听结合给了我更大的享受……

    妖娆老骚男 - [乱弹音乐]

     

    英国的妞都吃咸菜,英国的爷们却妖娆的可以,妖娆的比女人还艳。

    去年九月一个叫brett anderson中年男人在北京朝阳公园的音乐节上,他淋漓尽致的展现了他的妖娆。
    像brett这号人物有多牛我就不想说了,作为90年代britpop黄金年代三大乐队之一的主唱,这注定会被人铭记,更何况他那妖媚无比的嗓音,年轻时中性的造型,已经迷倒了一代文艺青年。

    很奇怪的是brett领衔的suede在中国的人气之高跟英国本土不相上下,以至于去年的现场让不少人留下了眼泪。
    可惜的是去年那时我还没听suede,要不肯定要看看这个老骚男。
    今年1月,我买到了suede的那张《singles》,听一遍下来我就觉得这主唱嗓子太有特点,唱歌带哭腔,而且又风骚无比,看了MV才觉得brett年轻时比女人还妖艳,我反复模仿《Beautiful Ones》《Animal Nitrate》......的唱腔,觉得很有意思。
    毕竟britpop的黄金时代已过,suede也解散4年多了,但是正像damon一样,brett也没闲着,去年个人同名专辑发行。
    那个妖媚美男已经到了不惑之年,唱腔中多了几分沧桑,《love is dead》很残酷,很现实,这就是brett的内心世界。
    brett说下张专辑还会是个人作品。或许britpop的黄金年代再也难以回来了,但是brett还是会风骚下去,而且他的妖娆唱腔已经成为那个时代的标签,在现在的mika身上,你还可以听到妖娆的延续,我也还会模仿他的唱腔,因为他太风骚了!!

    在跑步机上滑冰 - [乱弹音乐]

     

    很早之前就看过OK GO的《Here It Goes Again》中的一张截图,是乐队四个成员站在跑步机上的啥样子,这张照片出现在nano3的一组宣传图片上,当时我并没在意。

    直到youtube恢复浏览后,我想看看音乐类视频哪个浏览量最多,于是就看到了《Here It Goes Again》的MV,有3100万人观看的MV,缓冲几秒之后,我看到了一个极具创意的表演,四位乐队成员配合歌曲节奏在交错排好的8台跑步机上做各种滑稽或是高难度的动作,效果真是令人喷饭~~
    我最喜欢的一小段,是他们运用跑步机滑冰,真佩服他们的想象力。

    duffy,amy winehouse,adele,cilmi...我估计他们都是吃着六必居咸菜长大的。 
    23岁,25岁,20岁,17岁,听她们的声音肯定要在她们的年龄后加10... 

    我想先说说duffy小姐,她的名字就很牛,duffy正好是华纳经典动画形象戴非鸭的名字,她的嗓子也像鸭子... 
    其实她的嗓子让我想起的我的高中同学,2教主——张小2,教主啊到现在我还是你的教徒,以后永远都是。 

    听duffy小姐的声音,她可以把你带回70年代,听那首《serious》的感觉就是全身发麻。。。 
         在youtube上看了他的现场,感觉比专辑还好听。最近有新闻说dolce&gabbana的两位设计师有意请duffy到米兰的发布会上表演,看来复古是很有时尚潜力可挖的。前一阵还听说karl lagerfeld 就邀请了amy winehouse担任chanel发布会的表演嘉宾,而且整场发布会的模特们的发型都是amy那标志性的高高盘起的头发,看来karl lagerfeld这老先生对amy小姐是很欣赏的。由此看出,音乐和时装的复古潮完美的结合在了一起。 

    这几个吃咸菜的小妞还有许多可说的,慢慢说,我先吃口咸菜去,顺便练练soul的唱腔。

  • 现在中国风这东西都流行到国外去了,越来越多的国外音乐人开始采样中国元素加入到自己的音乐中,去年英国的当红二人组Gnarls Barkley在他们的专辑里加入了一首名叫《feng shui》的歌曲,不就是风水吗?他们把电子声的琵琶加入到了他们说唱的伴奏中,真是让人眼前一亮。

     独立乐团Rilo Kiley今年发行的专辑中有一首叫《close call》的歌曲,我听完这首歌就认为女主唱jenny lewis是不是听过咱们中国的江南小曲?歌曲开头的吉他竟然让我感觉是走在南方乡间小路上,lewis在这首歌中演唱格外有特点,她一张口我就想到了左手一只鸡,右手一只鸭......的小调调。不过这个并不确定,说不定这还是人家家乡的风格呢,我只是觉得比较像。

     damon带着街头霸王gorillaz卷土重来,这张《d-sides》明显不是新作,但却还是有不少惊喜。首先是一首叫《hong kong》的作品,歌名就很明显知道这肯定是中国风,这首歌曲也是选择了以琵琶为主要配器,damon是否来到过中国,我作为一个文盲青年显然是不知道了,但是我觉得他还是挺会玩跨界的,把中国民族乐器和英式摇滚结合挺不容易的啊,至于究竟它融合的怎样,我就没发言权了,我对自己民族的乐器一窍不通,对摇滚乐也只是个业余听众而已,谁有兴趣就听听吧。 

    另外,damon对街头霸王前两张专辑的不少作品都重新做了混音,其中就有一首很中国风的混音,就是对上张专辑的《dirty harry》进行了全新的混音,《dirty harry》是我非常喜欢的一首歌曲,童生合唱很有特色。这个混音是中国春节元素的混音一上来就是锣鼓喧嚣的热闹节奏,这首歌曲混合了,二胡,琵琶,笛子,等许多中国乐器,配合的很融洽。这个版本是完全用汉语普通话唱的,我佩服damon找的中国人唱的真是不错,童生合唱的部分的歌词很可爱:dad,mami,我想谢谢您,您的红包,比以前厚一点,拜~拜拜年,年年拜拜,恭喜恭喜,恭喜发财财~,明年发大红包~后面的说唱比较快,我没听清楚,感觉也挺过瘾的。整首歌洋溢着喜庆的气氛,歌曲在清脆的鞭炮声中结束。

    我觉得这首歌要是加大在网上的宣传力度说不定会成为春节时的热门歌曲。

    不管怎样,我到除夕是肯定要听这首歌的。

     我很高兴越来越多的外国音乐人采样中国元素,同时也为国人感到悲哀,咱们春节几乎没有什么经典的歌曲,人家圣诞节可是有像平安夜,红鼻子鹿,白色圣诞等等不少经典的歌曲啊。 我希望周杰伦,林俊杰,王力宏,陶喆等台湾音乐人继续努力创作一些中国风的歌曲;我更希望大陆地区也多出一些像后弦一样的歌手。虽说他们创作的只是流行歌曲,但他们的歌曲对唤醒大众对于传统风格民族音乐的热情是由重要作用的。  

    再说回damon,最近听说blur又有要重组的迹象,希望这次是真的。 

    恭喜各位发财财~~红包我就不好意思要了。

    Nme Presents The Essential Bands 2007》,好像NME年年搞这东西,我是第一次听。

  • 闷骚的音乐不可多听,我这次回忆曾经令我亢奋的歌曲。
    《song2》很怪异的歌名,就是某一张专辑的第二首歌。

    我可以很大言不惭的说,我在10岁就开始听英式摇滚了!
    只是开个玩笑而已,不过我确实是在10岁那年听到了blur(污点乐队)的这首歌。

          10岁时我家买了第一台电脑,当时我是个游戏迷,很喜欢玩体育类型的游戏,当时最喜欢的游戏就是《fifa 98》这款足球游戏了,虽然在现在看来游戏挺粗糙的,但是在当时却足以让我为之疯狂,《song2》就是这个游戏的主题曲。

            我记得当时我第一次进入这个游戏时的情景:片头动画是EA公司经典的EA SPORTS的画面,紧接着激动人心的时刻来了,一阵急促的鼓声伴随着英国最酷吉他手之一Graham的清爽的吉他弹奏,这个节奏让人很快兴奋起来;紧接着就更热闹了,主唱damon开始唱着oh~hoo~~这时的吉他变得躁动起来;我当时就坐不住了,立刻站了起来,这是看到EA公司给这首歌配的动画是这款游戏的精彩射门集锦;
    进入正式的歌词部分后,配器又像开始那样清爽了,damon的声音很抓人啊~

    I got my head checked
    By a jumbo jet
    It wasn’t easy
    But nothing is, no


    高潮部分来了,躁动的吉他,贝司伴随damon用力的喊着oh~hoo~
    太过瘾了,我当时已经是手舞足蹈了

    When I feel heavy metal
    And I'm pins and I'm needles
    Well I lie and I'm easy
    All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
    Pleased to meet you

            唯一遗憾的可能就是这首激动人心的作品太短了,只有两分多钟,真是让人意犹未尽。
    后来我每次玩fifa98,都要看完这两分钟的动画,从来不跳过;有时经常启动游戏就退出,只为了这两分钟的激情。
          11岁时,fifa99推出了,fifa98就被我删了,但是那首歌的每个音符我都清楚的记得,只是一直不知道歌名和演唱者。

             06年底,我偶然的在网上又听到了这首久违的歌曲,这让我兴奋不已,我了解到了乐队的名字叫blur(和英国偶像团体blue的名字很像),是一个很有影响力的英国乐队,这是blur在1997年发行的专辑里的歌曲,song 2这首歌很受欢迎,所以被选为fifa游戏主题曲。

           《song 2》这首歌已经问世十年了,时过境迁,虽然blur已经不完整了,很久没发新专辑了,但他们的成员仍然在自己音乐的路上执着的奋斗着:
            主唱damon在2001年组建了虚拟乐团gorillaz,曲风电子化,已经发行的两张专辑反响不错,新专辑刚刚发行,还没来得及听。去年damon又组建了一个名字古怪的乐队——The Good The Bad And The Queen,继续他的britpop梦想。
            超酷的吉他手Graham单飞后也一直发行自己的个人专辑,将自己的才华完全释放。

          一晃十年,《song 2》陪伴了我10年,每当我郁闷的时候我都会大声唱这首歌,让我尽情发泄。如今看着已经成家的damon额头上的皱纹,我知道damon不是当年那个躁动的青年了,而我也快20岁了。
           想像一下,再过十年,等我30岁时,只要《song 2》的前奏想起,或许我还是会像以前一样的手舞足蹈,大声的唱oh~hoo~   唯一区别就是我又老了十岁。
