I can hardly change a tiny bit of the environment, so I have to make myself a new person. Even if it can’t be a new birth, at least it could be a change. It’s not possible for me to manipulate who I’ll become, but I can assign values to the variable “I”.

第一首Ska Punk(a combination of ska and punk rock)的体验,最近听了不少Modern Rock,觉得很有感觉。玩虾米Loop的时候听到一些不错的Post Rock,发现自己对电吉的兴趣已经到达一定的程度了。
通常听到一段极为好的旋律时,再配上适合的乐器组合,就觉得音乐技巧什么的还是go to hell吧,但是有的时候又觉得很多原理和理论知识对一首好音乐相当重要。有的时候觉得Sympathy For The Devil的确是听不惯,但是又不能否认歌词的强大影响力。在给自己音乐库中的音乐打分的时候,往往能博得5星的歌曲不会是那些有巨大历史影响力或者拯救世界颠覆某个时代人们观念的歌曲,我承认在一定的时代它们就是标志,在一定的环境下它们就是教科书,是需要学习的对象。但是我能怎么办呢,第一通常没有6星,我给不了5星,其次值得学习的内容并不一定需要单曲循环去享受,例如常规赛中一次教科书版地传接配合,看个10遍学习一下也就那样了,再接着就不如去看看秀技的ALL STAR,看看学习不能但是惊艳的片段,这些不一定充满技巧性和实战的效用,但是它们很出彩。
不怎么喜欢The Beach Boys土土的录音,就合唱还是The Crystals强,毕竟R&B里面有个B,曲风就感觉比Rock要有更多的response,特别还是黑人唱的。不过歌其实就是pop。歌写自Phil Spector,借鉴于”There’s No Other Like My Jesus”,对于这种高大上的早期黑人pop,我们除了自己听外,还是来看看作曲者本人(Phil Spector,Wall of Sound录音开创者,看过imagine里他很酷的穿着和对Lennon讲话么,非常深沉,果断,神秘的强人,加个13年纪录电影的地址:点击)是怎么说的吧。

FROM ‘Phil Spector: Out of His Head’ , AUTHORS ‘Richard William’
The secularized(secularized) version, solidly based on a standard doo-wop harmonic cycle, was a fine song with an indelible chorus and a seamless verse, its gospel antecedents gave it a natural rawness reminiscent of ‘Maybe ‘, a big hit in 1958 for Arlene Smith’s Chantels(Maybe – Chantels), the precursors of the Shirelles(The Shirelles).
Young Barbara Alston took the lead here, singing her heart out, particularly on the lonely, suspenseful, out-of-tempo intro. In terms of aural scale, it was quite a big record, too: in the cooing of the other girls behind Barbara on the verse can be heard an inkling of what the Ronettes would be doing in a couple of years’ time.
Listen also to the production job on Gary Chester’s drums, to the way the ride cymbal swishes fluidly in 12/8 time while the snare lets loose a hard, echoey backbeat. There are strings on this cut, too, arranged by Arnold Goland, but even when the strings aren’t playing, the track sounds much fuller than the basic instrumentation of piano(Mike Spencer),guitars(Bob Bushnell and Wallace Richardson), bass(Richard Zeigler), and Chester’s drums would suggest.
好吧虽然我很喜欢Sex Pistols的Punk Rock,但是的的确确是没有这种强烈的反抗精神,那种与众不同到极致的地步的确是难以踏出的。规规矩矩点,带来的是Order of the British Empire(大英帝国勋章)获得者solo专辑SING曲目之一. The Commonwealth Band是Barlow(Take That)组的乐队,后面会提到。Laura Wright在这张SING中客串,是个演员?唱的不错。专辑是Gary Barlow的solo作品,虽然这首歌中好像没有出现,不过文末的’sing’单曲中还是有的。
突然发现个很有意思的地方,我们来简单地看下wiki的节选,The Sex Pistols的’God Save the Queen’.The song was released during Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977.然后呢,然后整首歌都在说British没有未来,王室就是fascist regime,女王不是人,最后一帮人统统被抓起来,BBC第一的排行被fixed到第二,英国好多路人甲都能哼哼no future应该。
我们再看下Gary Barlow那首歌所在的专辑’SING’.The album was released to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.然后呢,然后就没有然后了,只记得前面提过个什么勋章了,专辑什么不是很清楚-_-
当然我这么对比是不公正的,因为我最后要说的是God save the Queen/King是英国国歌(National Anthem),first performed in 1745,Thomas Arne所写的通用版本。而Gary Barlow的那首正是此曲,所以人家只是为了节庆而节庆所唱,应该是积极向上的祝福,不是为了音乐,而手枪兄是因为叛逆而叛逆,因为不同的音乐而不同。出发点本不同,因此只是为了fun的写写~
这帮老顽童,MV怎么就那么sexy。人生最美好的事情莫过于到70岁了还能享受及延续半个世纪前的辉煌,最幸福的事情便是这个年头了当年的小伙伴们还在身边。到底doom and gloom在哪里我们就不讨论了,是感叹即将到来的“没有不散的宴席”么,还是吐槽社会的高内涵潜台词,这些都没有继续看这几个crazy的老家伙们唱歌来的有意义,有价值。
