《If I were a Carpenter》是A&M公司在1994年发行的一张纪念他们旗下的这只王牌组合的专辑,汇集了十几支摇滚乐队,对这个兄妹乐队致敬。尽管翻唱得面目全非,却极具创意。 提起Carpenter,100%的人会第一反应:Yesterday Once more,Redd Kross在专辑中的翻唱采取了轻Hard Rock的演绎方式,放肆的配器加上放肆的演唱,令人听得手舞足蹈;另一首出色的歌是“Rainy Days and Mondays”,这次Crakcer用了Jazz,恰到好处的小鼓和着吉它,更衬托出男歌手的柔情慢板演绎的销魂;The Cranberries的“Close to You”老老实实按原作处理,只是在结尾时加了几个回旋音,用来表明身份;整张唱片的最优秀的部分,我认为是地下乐队的老大Sonic Youth的“Superstar”。全章由噪音开场,但第一个单音符响起的时候,你只能从这个清澈如泉水的音中想起一个名字:Karen。可Sonic Youth却不给我们任何作好梦的机会,主唱的声音颓废而低靡,非要把速度降低和把吐字变浊,方能显示出Karen在现今生活中的意义:清纯的岁月已经离我们远去,或者它根本就是个梦!从第二节开始,吉它、主音和噪声就纠缠在一起,分也分不开,撕扯着你的心。全曲终结在一片迷茫的杂音之中,令我呆呆地坐了很久,好象一口气喝了半斤烈酒,已不知身在何处了。 我很早就知道这张专辑,虽然现在找到专辑了,但是我并没有找到每首曲子的演绎乐队的艺人的名字。如果有朋友能找到的话,先谢谢,帮忙帖上。 最后特别提醒那些真正喜欢卡朋特的朋友,这张专辑或许并不适合你收藏。但是听的时候千万别说他们不好听,或者说那些人不会唱歌。

Contributions span the genre spectrum including a melodic Brit-pop rendering of the spoken-word piece 'Fitter Happier', a moving debut from shoegaze artists October Hill, an electro-ambient treatment of the Gen-X anthem 'Creep' along with industrial offerings from The Illuminati and Meegs Rascon.

甜蜜的負荷—吳晟 詩·歌

吴晟 / 罗大佑 … genre: Folk
release date 2008-04-23 publisher: 风和日丽唱片行
你应该读过他的诗,他是诗人—吴晟。 诗人的灵感来自落叶,取自朝阳,关乎宇宙,发乎心灵。吴晟当然也是,尤其是生命中的两位母亲,成为他诗作中最丰沛的灵感来源。一是生养他的农人母亲,也就是"阿妈不是诗人"一诗中,「只知道尽心尽力流汗,一滴一滴滋养家乡的田地」的诗人阿妈,另一位母亲则是诗人阿妈尽心尽力滋养灌溉的家乡田地,吴晟笔下多所描绘的吾乡,那是大地之母。与这两位母亲长久共同生活的交织情感,引领吴晟创造出脍炙人口的诗作—吾乡系列,也成就了吴晟最知名乡土文学诗人的不动地位。 文建会台湾文学馆致力推广台湾文学,第一步便选定吴晟,要将他的生平事迹与作品完全数字典藏,并衍生出有声产品的想法,交由风和日丽唱片行制作发行。产品共有两部,一是朗诵,二是歌曲,我们引吴晟最广为人知的诗句「甜蜜的负荷」作为大标,副标分别是"吴晟 诗.诵"与"吴晟 诗.歌","诗.诵"当然是由吴晟亲自朗诵,透过诗人自己的声音,独特的韵律,并搭配动人的配乐(由"甜蜜的负荷"主角,吴晟的小儿子志宁,与他的好友们共同制作完成),让我们闭上眼睛,却更能领略吴晟诗文中的情感与关怀。至于"吴晟 诗.歌",则是邀集国内多位顶尖创作歌手,以吴晟的诗为词,将之谱写成歌,包括了胡德夫、林生祥、浊水溪公社、陈珊妮、黄小桢、张悬、吴志宁(929乐团),?与黄玠,并将罗大佑八零年代的作品"序说—吾乡印象"也重新收录其中。 自教职退休后,除了持续文学创作,含饴弄孙,吴晟还投入大量的时间,?精神与体力,进行植树的工作。树林是母亲过世后留下的田地,吴晟舍不得转手出售,也不愿任它荒芜,便开始在偌大的田地上种下树苗,希望能为地球环保尽一份心力,将来也可以把这片树林留给子孙。这传承与灌溉的意念,与"甜蜜的负荷"正是不谋而合。专辑包装设计师萧青阳便依此延伸,两张专辑的封面同为吴晟抱着孙子的图片,木纹也成为贯穿全辑的影像,惟"诗诵"以照片为主轴,强调诗人生活的记录,"诗歌"则使用杰利小子的版画风格绘图,既写实且抽象,呼应了音乐创作者与吴晟的诗歌深度对谈。 我们所做的这一切,其实只是想让"诗"与你的生活,更为接近。在书写文字愈被忽略的年代,我们希望透过这样的有声作品,让人们珍视文字,重拾文字,至少,也能试着听见文字的美好。

Komen For The Cure做為慈善基金。 The Hotel Cafe原本只是美國一家迷你咖啡店,後來迅速轉型成為美國歌手與詞曲創作家發表唱作的駐唱場地,最後成了各大唱片公司挖掘潛力新進的重要據點,許多歌手把這個地方當作是音樂之家,因為,在這兒,歌詞,旋律,歌聲以及DIY的演唱才是重點,而主流唱片公司則把這裡視為儲備明日之星的搖籃,來這演唱的歌手卸除了把對方當作是競爭對手的敵對心態,取而代之的是歌手與歌手之間互相為彼此的表演提供一分音樂上的助力。任何一個夜場,你都有可能看到John Mayer、Jewel、Damien Rice、Jason Mraz…等已獲得唱片合約的歌手跟一群無約歌手同台開唱,有時隨興獨唱,有時即興合唱,有時更會一路盡情歡唱,駭到天亮。打從2005年起,The Hotel Cafe在英、美兩地發起了定名為The Hotel Cafe Tour的巡迴演唱活動,每一位參與巡迴的歌手都有獨唱與合唱的段落,然後藉由演唱著自己所創作的歌曲與台下的樂迷進行最真實的情感交流與分享,樂迷甚至可以在演唱會結束到後台與歌手閒話家常,每一年,MySpace網站還會製作2萬5000張的CD合輯分送與會的樂迷,The Hotel Cafe Tour在2007年於美國日舞影展期間的演唱獲得熱烈迴響,2008年更首度將演唱據點拉拔到歐陸各國與日本。 2008年以"Love Song"勇奪全美流行單曲榜冠軍的加州女歌手Sara Bareilles對於能夠參加【The Hotel Cafe Presents Winter Songs】此張精選特輯感到相當興奮,她說:「我完全沒有想到我會出現在一張聖誕假期主題的專輯,不過,當我得知The Hotel Cafe有了籌製這樣子的專輯的點子,我真得超興奮的,我很榮幸能夠成為這樣一張展現一些曾經在The Hotel Cafe演唱過的女歌手的驚人才華的精選輯的一份子,於是,Ingrid Michaelson跟我特別為這張專輯創作了一首歌,我期待能夠跟大家分享這首歌,整張專輯將會是一張非常美麗的作品。」此張精選特輯包含了5首全新的創作曲,包括了由Sara Bareilles與熱門影集「實習醫生」第3季最終一集片尾曲"Keep Breathing"的主唱歌手Ingrid Michaelson攜手合寫,合唱的"Winter Song",同樣因為歌曲"The Story"在「實習醫生」中的曝光而深獲矚目的都會民謠唱作歌手Brandi Carlile帶來了撫慰人心的動情佳作"The Heartache Can Wait",來自澳洲的玩可愛創作歌手Lenka所帶來的如叮噹聲一樣輕盈的聖誕小品"All My Bells Are Ringing",曾經來台宣傳的加州鄰家女聲Colbie Caillat送上溫暖之歌"Mistletoe"。精選輯同時還有全英音樂獎得主KT Tunstall,2008年夏季以"I Kissed A Girl"爆紅,同時獲得MTV音樂獎提名的Katy Perry,葛萊美獎最佳搖滾女歌手Fiona Apple…等各具唱作風格的獨特女生開唱膾炙人口的聖誕名曲。Sara Bareilles、Marie Digby、Lenka、Meiko等人同時合唱了世界名曲"Auld Lang Syne"。
