other title: 一夜狂欢 / 艰难时光 …
1963年秋天,为了从红透半边天的甲壳虫身上赚笔钱,美国的United Artists和甲壳虫签约拍摄一部电影,目的是得以在美国推出电影的原声唱片。他们找到Walter Shenson做制片,Richard Lester导演,在1964年拍摄了电影A Hard Day's Night。 Shenson在1963年秋甲壳虫前往美国前与他们接触,要求他们为电影创作6首歌——题材不限,但要有两首抒情歌曲,两首快节奏的舞曲等等。在加勒比海度假期间,他们创作了八九首歌,Dick Lester从中选出了六首用于电影中,这些歌曲是:You Can't Do That、And I Love Her、I Should Have Known Better、Tell Me Why、If I Fell、I'm Happy Just to Dance with You。3月2日拍摄开始前,甲壳虫在伦敦EMI录音室里录制了这些歌曲。其中演奏You Can't Do That的部分在电影推出时被剪辑掉了,但之前就做为Can't Buy Me Love单曲的B面发行,也仍然出现在美国版的原声唱片上。 电影拍摄从3月2日开始,至4月24日结束。影片用夸张的手法描述甲壳虫一天的生活,其主题来自John Lennon说过的一句话。当Lester问John他们的瑞典之行如何时,John答道:“It was a room and a car and a car and a room and a room and a car.”这句话稍加变动后被用在电影里,变成了“Paul的爷爷”的台词。 Shenson原先以为他可以随便找一首新歌的歌名作为电影题目,但这六首新歌都不太合适。拍摄期间,大家绞尽脑汁为电影找一个合适的名字。最后有一天,John和他聊天时提起Ringo有趣的语言,并举出“A hard day's night”为例。John自己在刚出版的《In His Own Write》也曾经使用过这个短语。大家一致同意它可以作为电影题目。于是John按Shenson的嘱咐,以此为题创作了电影的主题歌,并在4月16日拍摄电影期间把它录制下来。 美国出版的电影原声唱片只包括这七首新歌,但为了Parlophone的英国唱片,他们在6月回到录音室,又录制了5首新歌: I'll Cry Instead、I'll be Back、Any Time At all、Things We Said Today和 When I Get Home。加上电影里使用的他们之前发行过的单曲Can't Buy Me Love,英国的专辑唱片里一共有13首歌,全部是甲壳虫的原创歌曲。这是他们第一次能够推出一张全部原创的专辑。 这一成就主要应归功于John Lennon当时旺盛的创作力。在这13首歌里,9首都是他主笔创作的。Paul主笔创作了3首歌,并和John合作为George创作了I'm Happy Just to Dance With You。当然,按照主创者主唱的原则,John在这张专辑中的主唱也远远超过其他三人,甚至没有给Ringo一个表现的机会。 A Hard Day's Night的电影成为摇滚电影的经典,教给整整一代年轻人反叛的原则,而这张专辑标志着甲壳虫的创作进入了一个新的阶段,我们可以把它叫做“早期阶段的中期”吧?
Velvet Underground: Velvet Redux Live MCMXCIII (1993)
Douban
德克兰·罗内
In late 1992, the Velvet Underground 1965-1968 core line-up of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker suddenly decided to reform. The decision was all the more unexpected because the relationship between Reed and Morrison had been sour ever since the late Sixties, only to ameliorate after back catalogue royalty renegotiations in the mid-Eighties, and the tumultuous relationship between Reed and Cale had hit a low after their 1990 collaboration Songs for Drella. Nevertheless, an impromptu one-song reunion in Jouy-en-Josas, France, later that year for an Andy Warhol exhibition set the scene and by 1993, the band had started to rehearse for European and American tours. Lou Reed's then-current record company, Sire Records, agreed to release a live album from the European tour, and ambitious plans were made for both an MTV Unplugged appearance with accompanying album and a subsequent studio album. Two key people did not participate in the reunion: sometime singer Nico, who had died in 1988; and latter-day bassist/keyboard player Doug Yule, whom Sterling Morrison would have liked to participate but who was vetoed out by Reed and Cale. Yule later stated that, although he would have liked being considered at least, he would have declined anyway because of family priorities. The album was recorded during a three-night residence in the Parisian venue L'Olympia. John Cale later said, "During the second night we hit the home run", and it is of this night that most of the Live ⅯⅭⅯⅩⅭⅢ tracks were taken. The rest were taken from the third night. Live ⅯⅭⅯⅩⅭⅢ mainly is a trawl through the back catalogue, with emphasis on the "regular", more structured songs. There are only two major improvisations ("Some Kinda Love" and "Hey Mr. Rain") and two new songs: "Velvet Nursery Rhyme", a short and lightweight reunion-theme song, and "Coyote", a Reed/Cale collaboration. Emphasis is on the band's first and third records and the "lost fourth album" (see VU and Another View), with only two songs from Loaded being included. During the European tour, relationships quickly soured again and by the end of the tour all other plans were off, never to rematerialise. The band's latest breakup proved final when Sterling Morrison died in the summer of 1995. Both the tour and the album met with mixed reviews. The public and the critics were split into two camps: those that did not want to spoil their vision of the image that the band had since the Sixties and those that wanted to see the legendary four back together on stage and see whether they could still be relevant. Reviews reflected the views of the two camps.
The Britpop Story (2006)

actor: John Harris / Justine Frischmann …
The Britpop Story was a documentary aired on BBC Four about the Britpop movement which occurred in Britain during the 1990s. The show was hosted by John Harris, who interviewed Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann and Louise Wener of the band Sleeper. The show started with a look at grunge music and how British music was at an all-time low. It charted with the development of Blur, Suede, Elastica and Sleeper. Harris recalled the time when he was at the "Good Mixer" pub in Camden Town, London with Noel and Liam Gallagher, on a "sightseeing" trip, when future rival Graham Coxon was there. There was further information on other Britpop groups, such as Menswear. There was a focus of Tony Blair and his support of Oasis, as well as showing the decline of the movement.
