你絕對是善良且富有同情心的好人,在極盡荒謬與混亂的日子裡我也從沒懷疑過。但十八扇門也抵擋不了的負面能量使你變成了一個魔力日趨強盛的悲劇性獨白演員,追求表演裡淋漓盡致無止盡的燃燒,日以繼夜,你走火入魔,變成一個善良的惡魔。 當我後來終於察覺這一切無法怪到任何官能疾病上時,真的是非常想當著你的面崩潰給你看。但是我想了一下,做相形見絀的表演且不是讓自己出糗嗎? 不不不, 所以我就直接說了,如果什麼都無法停止你的激情,如果非得這樣的話, 也請別拖著我與你下地獄,I've been doing all right on my own up here. Don't even bother to try.
太過真實平淡,只是這回我們偷看到的不是患有強迫症,總是在洗澡的宜靜,透過An American Crime片中地下室髒污的小窗,我們不得不直視普通人的脆弱和自私,背負一整個社會的原罪而難受。
導演刻意低調的剪輯手法,沒有血濺四方,髒話咒罵和人物表情特寫,An American Crime卻集合了狗鎮,冷血告白和發條橘子...等片的密度和張力,精神凌遲觀眾絲毫不手軟,看完還要喝杯沙士加鹽降血壓。我一向對單憑屎尿重金屬,雜交亂倫,活體解剖或鬼哭神號的驚世駭俗程度,故作正經嚴肅登上禁片之流,彷彿瞬間鍍金的電影沒什麼太大的興趣,但是現在我的想法變了,我要去找一部超現實禁片來看,裡面應該要有天竺鼠姦殺外星人,然後繁殖的異種後代在有擔任過坎城評審資歷的歐洲女星臉上拉屎,全人類甚至太陽系的所有生物全都屎在一起,有機又環保的末世預言(誰會拍啊?我想史蒂分使批駁和詹姆士卡賣龍和北歐的叛逆導演可以跨國合作辦到),化解An American Crime帶給我的衝擊,此時那些煞有其事的剝削禁片療癒我就像分手擂台或多或少給了這社會空洞殘破的靈魂一點安慰,越不真實的東西就越好笑,也越溫和。
忘記在哪讀過這些話:「Running away is easy, you just take off and leave,leaving all shits behind; when you stay,it'll take more courage than runnung. with all the sufferings from misery and destruction,I can't think of there is a way could be any easier than starting an odessey.」
直到有天,男孩父親情緒再度失控,打破謊言和壓抑交織的虛假平衡。在女孩的鼓舞下,名為Dylan的男孩想到逃離的可能,他們想,或許到都柏林尋找dylan離家出走的哥哥,或許尋找一絲希望。逃亡的旅程既不浪漫也不美好。片中Bob dylan歌曲的社會批判和不止的苦澀漫天蓋地,經過城市暗角的洗禮後,褪去光環的接頭風景漸漸消弭女孩對傳說怪物的恐懼,她婉拒男孩的打氣,並說:「they are not sackman, they're just two dirty old pricks,like other gross bastards. 」
Dylan洩氣地坐在都柏林公寓下的階梯旁,他好奇問旁邊那位穿著挑逗的年輕女性 「why were you kissing that man? he is so much older than you?」 『he treats me well......』 「so you kissed him for money?」 『no, I kissed him because I've nothing to give.』 「...」
我臉靠著玻璃,擠壓的變形。 遠遠地面上,她穿著棉質內褲和一件短衫,懷裡揣著一隻胖蜥蜴, 一派清閒坐在泥地上。 順著她的嘴型,我讀出她口中呢喃的話語:something here in hurtbreak wonderland will eat you inside out, sooner or later...
不知從哪冒出來, 史嬌莉喬韓森穿著車掌小姐的緊身套裝,聞起來非常的香。 紅色的豐唇貼著擴音器,聲音經過壓縮: "She expected something very different out of love. She had reluctantly accepted suffering as an inevitable component of deep passion, and was resigned to putting her feelings at risk. If you asked her what it was she was gambling her emotions on to win, she would not have been able to say. She knew what she didn't want. However, that was exactly what she valued above all else."
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros的frontman 是已解散的ima robot主唱,Alex Ebert。 不過現在宛若devendra失蹤雙胞胎兄弟的造型,的確很難讓人聯想至ima robot時期的妖嬌華麗生物。
(當初這首歌把我迷的暈頭轉向)
大編制的樂團成員,亂七八糟你想得到的物品都可以拿來演奏 (領銜樂器分別由小喇叭和手風琴擔綱) ,男女雙主唱,如果說arcade fire呈現給這個世代另一番氣象, 你從來沒想到送葬曲也可以這麼蠱惑人心。 那麼 Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (團名好長,我承認我是用複製貼上...) 應該就是快樂森林裡的arcade fire, 隨時都能跨上獨角獸,準備出門採魔菇。
live現場。 身為迷妹,看完這種表演真是死而無憾。 (前提是我已經看完Polyphonic Spree的live,還有聽見ian brown 親口跟樂迷保證說他厭倦hip pop,要跟Squire甜甜蜜蜜復合的那天到來... )
------------------- lyrics: [Her:] Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my ma and pa, Not the way that I do love you.
[Him:] Holy, Moley, me, oh my, You're the apple of my eye, Girl I've never loved one like you.
[Her:] Man oh man you're my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness, There ain't nothing that I need.
[Him:] Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie, Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ, Ain't nothing please me more than you.
[Both:] Ahh Home. Let me come home Home is wherever I'm with you. Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome. Home is wherever I'm with you.
La, la, la, la, take me home. Mother, I'm coming home.
[Him:] I'll follow you into the park, Through the jungle through the dark, Girl I never loved one like you.
[Her:] Moats and boats and waterfalls, Alley-ways and pay phone calls, I've been everywhere with you.
[Him:] We laugh until we think we’ll die, Barefoot on a summer night Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you
[Her:] And in the streets you run afree, Like it's only you and me, Geeze, you're something to see. [ Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
[Both:] Ahh Home. Let me go home. Home is wherever I'm with you. Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome. Home is wherever I'm with you.
La, la, la, la, take me home. Daddy, I'm coming home.
(Talking) Him: Jade Her: Alexander Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window? Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me. Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that? Her: Yes I do. Him: Well there's something I never told you about that night. Her: What didn't you tell me? Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.
[Both:] Ahh Home. Let me go home. Home is wherever I'm with you. Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome. Home is where I'm alone with you.
[Him:] Home. Let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you.
[Her:] Ahh home. Yes I am ho-oh-ome. Home is when I'm alone with you.
[Her:] Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my ma and pa... Moats and boats and waterfalls, Alley-ways and pay phone calls...
[Both:] Ahh Home. Let me go home. Home is wherever I'm with you. Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome. Home is where I'm alone with you...
九四年的紐約,新官上任三把火的朱力安尼,熱血想把紐約市整形成一個"乾淨"的城市。 高中剛畢業的Luke,沒有什麼朋友,除了賣大麻的part time job之外, 生活好像沒有什麼值得期待的驚喜。 或許是因為他太過執著,過於忠誠於宛若浮木的一些堅持。 卡匣錄音帶,de la soul(禮記零你在哪?),茫然。
所以他才十三歲 他跑去new york fashion week前排當vip 他是Pop magazine九月的封面人物
不是來自問題家庭 沒有厭食症 家裡後院大樹上甚至蓋了一間小樹屋(羨慕死了) ghost world的cult fan (真是酷斃了) 他說 y-3 from Yohji Yamamoto and Alexander Wang are brilliant. (不過我一直覺得y-3是國王的新衣) 最可愛的是 他喜歡abba 喜歡跳舞
"this is a low"雖然來自我說了聽不懂的布勒時期,心裡依舊不免有點小感動。 只要Damon不要又突發奇想跑去搞一堆side projects (他總有一天會暫居寶萊塢一陣子跟當地吹蛇人發行什麼聲援peta的印度 歌謠mix數學搖滾之類的東西吧?) 我會燃燒對Graham的熱情,再度試著搞懂新blur。
(其實Bittersweet Bundle of Misery 跟coffee and TV的吉他部份根本就是雙胞胎, 但後面那首我只記得mv很可愛......其他就....)
加碼驚喜: 1.編劇之一是Where the Wild Things Are 的Dave Eggers(皮博士有介紹) 2.Maggie Gyllenhaal(請允許我用宅男的語氣尊稱她一聲"瑪基老師") 3.導演Sam Mendes(btw, Revolutionary Road真是太壓抑了,不過裡面那個瘋子教授演得很好)
扯太遠了 我要說的是 當扯到兩個對立團體的相黜點時 我知道有的人很愛拿出階級論扣大帽子 這樣太野蠻也太狡猾 不抽菸不喝酒其實不代表身體就比酒鬼或老菸槍健康 垃圾食物 香辛料 晚睡 討厭運動 我樣樣不缺 I'm on my way to be the lethal weapon. 而我的一個老菸槍朋友(對就是你 我知道你沒再看我網誌 耶) 更是長期奉行著讓我望之羞赧的激進養生之道 每天晚上九點就寢 凌晨五點半起床 90分的腳踏車健身 固定性伴侶 一天不吃超過一顆蛋 固定追蹤膽固醇和血壓值
這段又酷又迷幻的短片是由The Newyork times 旗下的T Magazine出品,Gordon Hull導演(強烈懷疑此人也是The Mighty Boosh的信徒)。除了2:10-2:48之間,有挑大樑的山大熊,搶盡阿兵哥風采的熱舞演出外。影片還請來了可愛的AgynessDeyn客串一角(他的新男友是Albert Hammond Jr.,看來一個人的幸運是沒有限度的)。如果感冒發燒,臥病在床,有人逼我看這個睡的話,我起來一定得炸個東西才能罷休。
題外話: 雖然小時候我每看宮崎駿的龍貓必哭(不要問我為什麼)。有時也搞不清楚貓熊和熊貓的分別。但說真的,我寧願看Dance of the Golden Axe一百遍,也不花錢支持一個愚蠢政府閹割主權的政治玩具。更不用說"動物園"這個場所的建立和背後的概念有多扭曲,是集滿人類病態偽善之大成,最淋漓盡致的發明之一。所以每次聽到My Little Airport的在動物園散步才是正經事,都讓我覺得這對女子花草組合有很恐怖的幽默感(還是他們真的這麼感覺?)。徹頭徹尾這首歌根本就應該要改編成death metal才對味。
Artist: MGMT Album: Oracular Spectacular Record Company: Sony/Columbia Records
In the year of 2007, an indie band called MGMT from Brooklyn, NY pulled out their debut album “Oracular Spectacular” under the mainstream Sony/Columbia record label. The acid album title does show listeners the best promo and preview for the entire 12 songs in this album.It's like the band roams through the whole universe to represent the new rock genre , and sends us what those credit’s so called ” neo-psychedelic ”.
Maybe the art school backgrounds have forced the 2 core members in MGMT, Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser to start thinking outside the box of 60's acid rock. “Being different or even individual”is just nothing but a huge compliment in the music scene of indie rock. Sadly, the one who embraces and promotes the trend is always over the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in the U.K.
Extensive use of overtone in “Oracular Spectacular” pumps up the retro sounds of disco. You will easily get fascinated with their magic tricks. Only with 2 people, they can effortlessly mix and play electronica/synth pop together. In their early gigs, they recorded few vocal tracks and electro synthesizer sounds in MAC before they rocked the crowds. It shows us how“the new kids on the block”have great instrument managing skills.
With promises from NMEand SPIN, also do not forget those hipsters dancing in the local clubs. They made MGMT what they are today, blowing away“the big brother” and overwhelming “the big apple”.
