The Stooges Douban
9.3 (49 ratings) The Stooges genre: Rock
release date 1969-01-01 publisher: Sundazed
朋克的摧毁在作用于外部世的同时,同样也在心灵深处进着,Stooges和Iggy Pop开拓了形式后的朋克精神,这是一支相当心灵化的朋克乐队。

当你面对一个颤抖着的、具强大震撼力的灵魂时,你能做些么呢? ——跟随着它一起颤抖吧,是最好的感受方式了。Stooges的音乐中弥散着一种摄人心魄的失重的坠落感(尤其体现在伟大的杰作《Fun House》中),你所需要做的就闭上眼睛,任凭心灵被lggy Pop发自灵魂深处的声音牵引着一起下坠。

一座铁索桥架在两壁悬崖间,他跪在桥上,一块块地用双拆着木板,脸上是神经质般纯洁笑客——这是Iggy Pop给予人的那令人恐惧、指向地狱的坠落感。

然而,在享受Stooges的恐惧、堕落的同时,我们所感受到的不只是自虐、受虐的痛苦,痛苦的背面是压抑后被释放的自由的快感,这正是Stooges的伟大之处——在压抑中发泄,在绝望中获得解放,在痛苦感受快乐,这些矛盾的揉合体形成Stooges音乐复杂、丰富的个性,并展现了一个勇敢面对矛盾冲突,进入其中以求得到解答(甚至不惜以牺牲自己为代价)的灵魂,这是Iggy Pop无畏的伟大,是沼泽中求生存,悬崖边求学援,压抑中求释放的勇敢——人一旦屈服于命运便失去了真正造就人的东西,也不能再称为"人",因为人不能没有精神。

在感受Stooges的音乐时,我们总是无法摆脱一种窒息与释放相交错而成的炽烈、强大的生命力,强大得令人畏惧,这种危机与生命的复合形成了Stooges音乐中无休止的挣扎--如果不想被流沙淹没,只能不停地奔跑,摇滚/生命一刻也未停止过这种挣扎,这种挣扎是痛苦的,但却能给人快感和幸福。

如果生命是为了屈服,不如从死亡中解放;如果生存是为了斗争/革命,那么当你投身其中时,便已经理解生存的含义,并与使命融为一体了。

生存便是为了摧毁,而摧毁就是解放,但或许真正的解放只有在来生中才能找到——人若想要不妥协,恐怕只有放弃肉体,才能保全精神。

Stooges的音乐是极其震撼力的,那种痛苦地受虐/自虐性的快感使人不由自主地把自己整个地交给颤栗。乐队1969年的专辑《Fun House》绝对是一部伟大的作品,其中最突出的是大量的萨克斯风,以连续跳跃,不断变化的表达方式体现了摇摇欲坠的危险感——痛苦、恐惧,却很快乐。Iggy Pop像个站在悬崖边上向激流里的岩石张望的舞蹈者,在快感进发的吼叫声中,Iggy Pop将自己奉献给痛苦和死亡,在这死神的舞蹈中,Iggy Pop竟用充满自虐感的声音喊出了“I feel alright,I feel alright,Feel alright……”,这是精神的一种伟大的挣扎。

Stooges音乐中的跳跃感像是一团火,Iggy Pop似乎在烈焰中舞蹈,撕扯看自己,带着纯洁、撕裂、快慰的微笑——这是临近死亡的体验,是享受痛苦的欢乐。在《Fun House》结尾,你可以听到Iggy Pop绝对自虐性的,带看微笑的呻吟,就如神经质一般的纯洁、真实。

感受Stooges的音乐与Iggy Pop的体验是十分痛苦的——如果你真正理解它,而非头脑简单地把它仅仅当作重金属,或无聊的渲泄,或是站在旁边去做什么"欣赏者"的话,溶入Iggy Pop式的生命释放,你将对灵魂的涵义有一次更为彻底的理解和再创造,这种心灵的再生是极为可贵的,人的一生之中又能有几次这样的再生?

在Iggy Pop充满自我折磨的快感的吼声中,我们找到了弥散着摧毁欲的朋克源头。

Bayou Country Douban Spotify
8.4 (14 ratings) Creedence Clearwater Revival genre: Rock
release date 1969-01-01 publisher: Fantasy
John Fogerty是creedence clearwater revival乐队(简称CCR)的灵魂人物,他的嗓音高亢有力,极为独特,具有摇滚的穿透力及蓝调的凄厉与沉郁。他擅长用写实的手法描写六零年代美国社会低下阶层人物的故事,每一首歌都是一则市井小民的悲喜曲,没有深奥的哲理,也没有难懂的词汇,有的只是一部部有血有泪的生活记录,有人甚至指出工人皇帝 Bruce Springsteen其实就是CCR的信徒。从CCR的创作素材来看,在歌词方面来自美国本土低层的真实生活,音乐方面融合了蓝调,摇滚,以及一些不太复杂的放客,Boogie等相当活泼有力的音乐风格,以极诚恳的态度表达出美式摇滚特有的纯朴,以及有时低俗(大量的俚语)的平民精神。
