Lou Reed与John Cale是The Velvet Underground的最重要的两位灵魂人物，自1968年二人交恶后，二十年来两人首度携手共同创作，向他们已故的导师，波谱艺术大师Andy Warhol致敬的一张专辑。 Andy Warhol是The Velvet Underground早期最重要的发掘者与资助人，1987年逝世。Drella是Andy Warhol的外号，Songs For Drella也是一张用音乐专辑来陈述Andy一生的作品。 这是一张真挚无比的动人经典专辑，但专辑出版后，Lou跟John又再次交恶。

专辑类型：Experimental / Classical / Acoustic 专辑厂牌：Western Vinyl 专辑介绍： 如果你浮躁如我，建议来听听Balmorhea的这张《Rivers Arms》。 很久没接触后摇相关的东西，前两年独立和后摇大红，在国内网络上以各种形态被人们讨论的那段时光我好像并没在着意聆听相关音乐。那时候对沉静的音氛还没有太多深究感知的耐心，接受纯数码格式而无实物形式的媒体文件也还不是我的擅长。所幸在听到的动静还局限于那一百来张CD的时候我已逐渐养成了努力扩大资讯来源的习惯。对于后摇的关注便从那时开始保持了下来。 印象中后摇的东西大多以吉他为绝对主导乐器，配以某种给人雷同之感的编排与旋律后再低调地包装，放送。这是肤浅可笑的偏见我知道，源于我听音时的不够投入和耐心，但诸如此类的偏见对我近几年来对音乐的选择却产生了很大的影响。很多好音乐因此而错过，这其中不乏优秀的后摇作品。 那么何谓优秀？如《Rivers Arms》般在聆听之初便让我冷静放松下来的便是。 轻松温柔的编曲，没什么激烈的桥段，也沾不上竭尽全力折腾着抒情的边儿。几种乐器编排得不紧不慢，内敛美好。在受过良好古典音乐训练这一背景下，乐队营造出的这般流畅感觉显得理所当然。 新古典主义中惯常的钢琴表现在这张唱片中重现，还有适时加入的提琴，令这张器乐唱片奏出了我心中melody的模样。其实没那么伟大，但每当这种也许是歪打正着的音响传出，我都乐此不疲地被感动，从不厌倦。 我承认自己已经很久没有认真的做一件事情，哪怕是呼吸。我做不到把注意力安静地集中在某个事物上并坚持。也很少能够花费漫长的历程把心窗打开，把美好的事物放进去。但在这种清澈的Acoustic下任何不安躁动的想法都会被本能抑制。心中掠过的是不明亮的阳光、暗色发青的天空和残云、大光圈所能摄入的模糊远景以及露水划过草尖的快速重放。于是我只想躺在这般天空的阴影之下，什么都不去思考不去烦躁，认真的当一棵植物。关心根茎，关心阳光和水，关心所有在我身旁静态的所在。 关心这些而已。（转 感谢原作者）

Morrison Hotel (sometimes referred to as Hard Rock Cafe from the title of the first side of the LP, whose second side is titled Morrison Hotel) is The Doors' fifth album. It was released in 1970. After their experimental work The Soft Parade was not as well received as anticipated, the group went back to basics and back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album, L.A. Woman. The strategy worked; even though no major hit singles were drawn from the album, Morrison Hotel reestablished The Doors as favorites of the critics, peaking at #4 on the US album chart, and when they followed with L.A. Woman the next year, they were rewarded with two more US Top 20 hits. The album also became the band's highest charting studio album in the UK, where it peaked at #12.

Death Cab, 来自华盛顿柏林汉姆的四人Indie Pop乐团Death Cab for Cutie成立于1997年，默默无闻两年之后他们签到了独立厂牌Barsuk（俄语獾熊的意思），并且成功的推出了三张专辑。去年10月份发行的这张《Transatlanticism》（横贯大西洋主义）是他们在Barsuk旗下发行的第四张录音室作品了，不知道他能否续写三年前专辑《We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes》的辉煌。乐队的名字来自英国六十年代末著名迷幻乐队The Bonzo Dog Band的处女作专辑《Gorilla》里的一首歌的名字，他们不愿对此解释过多，只说去听听那首歌就知道了。Death Cab for Cutie的才华在他们的首张专辑里《Something About Airplanes》里就崭露头角，一曲迷幻气息浓厚的《President Of What》里的风琴和唱腔犹如The Doors的重显就让人们大吃一惊。可是这只是乐队对自己过去的怀念罢了，乐队于2000年发行的专辑《We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes》以全新的Indie Pop姿态示人，专辑中的歌曲清新馍人。 多数Death Cab for Cutie的歌都像是歌者的自述，他讲的都是生活中的领悟和对未来的美好憧憬。乐队主唱Ben Gibbard说：“我们的歌曲是真诚的，也许我们会为丘比特的冷落而忧心忡忡，也许我们不会把痛苦和听众分享，但是我们只是想唱一些快乐的歌曲与别人分享。”可是不幸在2000年的夏天降临到乐队身上，一连串的事故让这几个年轻人心灰意冷，先是乐队因为经理人的问题产生了激烈的矛盾，然后鼓手Nathan Good的离开让乐队几乎解散。好在最后乐队克服了这些矛盾，他们找来了新的鼓手Michael Schorr并且录制了一张纪念这段经历的EP《Forbidden Love》。2003年出版这张专辑《Transatlanticism》之前，乐队又加入了新的成员，也许这对他们来说是一个新的开始.

Hot Fuss is the debut studio album by Las Vegas-based American rock band The Killers, released on June 7, 2004 in the United Kingdom and on June 15, 2004 in the United States.

Jeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn't one of them. Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music: Grace sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz. At his best -- the soaring title track, "Last Goodbye," and the mournful "Lover, You Should've Come Over" -- Buckley's grasp met his reach with startling results; at its worst, Grace is merely promising.

大名鼎鼎的《纽约不插电》，Nirvana一次返璞归真的现场演出，有人说Kurt Cobain的天才与痛苦都在这次演出中表露无遗，数月之后，Kurt Cobian结束了自己生命，这张专辑也因而具有了非比寻常的纪念意义，在英美专辑排行榜都登上首位，并在1996年获得了葛莱美最佳另类摇滚专辑奖。

Nevermind is the second studio album and major-label debut by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991 by DGC Records. It was Nirvana's first release to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Produced by Butch Vig, Nevermind features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than the band's prior work. It was recorded at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, and Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, in May and June 1991, and mastered that August at the Mastering Lab in Hollywood, California. Written primarily by frontman Kurt Cobain, Nevermind is noted for channeling a range of emotions, being noted as dark, humorous, and disturbing. Its themes include alienation, frustration, anti-establishment and anti-sexist views, and troubled love inspired by Cobain's broken relationship with Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail. Contrary to the hedonistic themes popular in rock music at the time, writers have observed that Nevermind promoted the image of the sensitive artist in mainstream rock. According to Cobain, the sound of the album was influenced by bands such as Pixies, R.E.M., the Smithereens, and Melvins. Though the album is considered a cornerstone of the grunge genre, it is noted for its musical diversity, which includes acoustic ballads ("Polly" and "Something in the Way") and punk-influenced hard rock ("Territorial Pissings" and "Stay Away"). Nevermind became an unexpected critical and commercial success, reaching the top 10 on charts across the world. On January 11, 1992, it replaced Michael Jackson's Dangerous at the number one spot of the US Billboard 200 and was selling approximately 300,000 copies a week. The lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", reached the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Its music video was also heavily rotated on MTV. Three other successful singles were released: "Come as You Are", "Lithium", and "In Bloom". The album was voted the best album of the year in Pazz & Jop critics' poll, while "Smells Like Teen Spirit" also topped the single-of-the-year and video-of-the-year polls. The album also garnered the band three Grammy Award nominations in total across the 34th and 35th Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album. Nevermind propelled Nirvana into worldwide superstardom, with Cobain being dubbed the "voice of his generation". It brought grunge and alternative rock to a mainstream audience while accelerating the decline of hair metal, drawing similarities to the early 1960s British Invasion of American popular music. It is also often credited with initiating a resurgence of interest in punk culture among teenagers and young adults of Generation X. It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 2024, it was certified 13× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Among the most acclaimed and influential albums in the history of music, Nevermind was added by the Library of Congress to the National Recording Registry in 2004 for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", and is frequently ranked highly on lists of the greatest albums of all time, including being ranked number six on Rolling Stone's 2020 and 2023 lists of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The album has since been reissued with alternate takes and live performances.

《Take Five》是一支为爵士乐做出划时代贡献的乐曲，也是爵士历史上最有名的乐曲之一。是否觉得Take Five这两个单词看上去似乎眼熟了？因为现在全世界以Take Five命名的咖啡厅、酒吧、店铺或是乐团太多了，所以才会使人有这种感觉。 上世纪五十年代末，Dave Brubeck Quartet组合中的灵魂人物中音萨克斯手Paul Desmond写了这一首名叫Take Five的四重奏乐曲，最开始时这首爵士乐以单曲的形式发行，由于采用了极为罕见的5/4拍，这在当时的爵士音乐界引起了强烈震动，并受到广泛批评，但在符合大众口味的金曲排行榜上却可以和彼时如日中天的猫王的歌曲抗衡。 以后的时间证明了，这种复杂节奏改变了当时人们陈旧、萎靡和一成不变的听力习惯，同时在探索爵士节奏的可能性上作出了深远影响。21世纪福克斯公司也曾经将此曲用做电影题头。 由于Paul Desmond在爵士历史上的地位与名气都远远不如Dave Brubeck，《Take Five》的曲作者经常被误以为是Dave Brubeck。而实际上由Dave Brubeck、Paul Desmond、Joe Morello、Eugene Wright组成的四重奏组合在1959年发行的专辑《Time Out》里，Dave Brubeck的确是除《Take Five》之外的所有乐曲的作者，这张专辑中八分之九拍、四分之五拍、四分之六拍等诸多非常规爵士乐节拍也有出现，但《Take Five》在爵士乐史上石破天惊的意义显然非专辑中其他乐曲可以比拟，在后来发行的绝大多数关于Dave Brubeck Quartet的精选专辑中，几乎100%都会收录。
