哈哈哈哈！！！！！！！！！说得好，赞一个！！！！！

 

自己现在老是会说，SUEDE一边站去，是过季的偶像了。其实心里清楚，SUEDE的地位永远不会改变。是的，我会喜欢其他的乐队，会忘记重新听听SUEDE和DOG MAN STAR，但心中有那么一块地方，总会留给他们，即便是暂时地被什么掩盖。就好比现在突然迷上了PULP，或许也是因为那一刻某些人的举首头足间让我看到了另一个人的影子。啊，是的，我又错了，这是PULP，早在SUEDE很多年前就成立了，怎么说也是前辈了。

 

哎,这阵子就只能听PULP了.自己是那种不崇拜则以,一崇拜就永无止境的那种花痴.把JARVIS COCKER的MV,A FEELING CALLED LOVE以及THE PARK IS MINE的演唱会反反复复的看,觉得眼睛都要出血了.JARVIS同学真是太美啦,扭起来比BRETT同学还好看.就可惜好看的男人都要老去,即使是THE PARK IS MINE的现场,JARVIS同学还是多多少少有点力不从心的感觉.这几天自己总是做白日梦,希望能象浮士德一样和魔鬼做交易,那时就让JARVIS这样一批优秀的男人永远不要老去.

 

顺便提一件前不久买碟的事,其实就是在找PULP的那张DIFFERENT CLASSES,后来到了一家店(就不点名了),老板说有,15,自己比较冲动,居然大叫着说自己跑遍了南京就为了那张碟.话还没完，老板就改口要20,居然还挺有理的说,反正你喜欢,又不在乎那几块钱...汗.

now the world is really turning me down...

说来也真得可恶，又是139的事，刚刚良心发现，决定更新一下好久未动的BLOG，就一口气写了一篇长长的废话，没想到发的时候，139说我文章里有脏话，一下子就搞没了！可怜我都没存！其实我也就说了个FUC*K什么的吧，真是虚伪。

哎，其实整天呆在家里，的确也没什么新鲜事，无非是浑浑噩噩过日子。。。这两天一直在和一个MM聊天，也是一SUEDE和PULP的扇子，不幸用我不健康的思想带坏了小妹妹......以至于我们一见面就在那儿做梦...

海边...小木屋...火炉...红酒...

我...用天上坠落的一颗星为你点上香烟...

if we don't have a future,just leave your autograph your autograph...

后来她传了一张JARVIS和他LP KISS的照片给我，搞的我一整天都难过。。。TMD我什么时候变成这样...即使是我喜欢SUEDE，喜欢BRETT ANDERSON的时候，我还是兴冲冲的到处找BRETT和女孩子一起的照片...可昨天我居然不能想其他的事，老是为那张照片生闷气...我真是鄙视自己啊...

JARVIS COCKER...JARVIS COCKER...JARVIS COCKER...JARVIS COCK..ER？

今天一早起来,第一件事就是把自己BLOG头像的BRETT换成了JARVIS...其实还是挺难过,因为我说过SUEDE是我一辈子的情人...原来自己比自己知道的还要善变...我很失望,可我现在只能说JARVIS.

后来和一个印度的女孩聊到MOTIVATION,她说她最近没有MOTIVATION,干什么事都不能集中精力...我说i never ever had that thing...她说人一定要有才行,因为这样才能得到你想要的,我说即使有了MOTIVATION,我也永远得不到我想要的,而对于其他我有可能得到的东西,我又从来没有WANT IT THAT BAD...她问我到底想要什么,我说JARVIS COCKER...两分钟后,她说,tox(that's what she usually called me),you are much more sillier than i thought...其实我还是挺难过的...我也不想这样,但我好象一直在拒绝什么,拒绝做一些事情...其实我是在拒绝长大...拒绝放弃那种单纯的快乐,或是痛苦...但我早就力不从心了...总有一天,我会成为那个我自己都鄙视的人.

 

 

 

 

WITH TEETH，六年的等待，关于这张唱片，TRENT只有一个愿望，就是不要被听了一遍就扔掉。当我在每一个寂静的夜晚贪婪的聆听它时，我知道自己终于可以放心了。心中的那个有王者风范的TRENT还在，依然距者那个永恒的霸主地位。

 

AMAZON上的一句话很有意思，其实所有的人心里都清楚啦。Nine Inch Nails are a pretty amazing phenomenon when one considers what they--um, he--have done with just a few studio recordings.TRENT真的很强啊。
Amazon.com
It's easy to understand why Nine Inch Nails became the industrial band to break out of the techno ghetto and win a larger audience. Trent Reznor, who records the NIN albums almost entirely by himself (although he tours with a full band), tries very hard to pass himself off as an angry young man, but underneath the angst-ridden lyrics, pounding synths, and grating guitars is an irrepressible pop sensibility. On the second full-length NIN album, The Downward Spiral, Reznor builds his constructions of noise and gloom around warm, fuzzy melodies. On the album's first single, "March of the Pigs," for example, Reznor screams about swine lined up for slaughter amid guitars screeching in pain. Suddenly the guitars fall away to reveal the sensually throbbing rhythm track below; then that falls away to reveal a vocal-and-piano track that's as catchy as anything by Elton John. Because Reznor has a better handle on dynamics now, the melodic core is more obvious than ever. --Geoffrey Himes
是啊，NIN的音乐抛去所有的面纱，剩下的就是歌曲极强的可听性，工业噪音也可以流行。还是那句老话，那种只有愤怒没有音乐的‘音乐’谁也不会爱听。

唱片发行后,PLAYLOUDER上有一篇对DUFF同学的采访(部分)
(BY Jeremy Allen)

ALLEN(A):PATRICK,是什么促使你现在回归乐坛呢?
DUFF(D):其实这和我个人到没多大关系.我总是整天就这么过来了,很少刻意去注意什么.一旦可以,我就回尽快的把唱片做出来.我不是那种很懂得计划的人,关于这一点,我也一直很认命.我很少会把一个问题考虑来考虑去.

A:可不管怎么说你你至少一直很期待着把你的事业进行下去吧?
D:这是肯定的.自从STRANGELOVE解散后,我依然一直不停的做音乐,但我那时没有办法自己出一张唱片,你知道我的意思.那种感觉就是你必须要想办法把自己的音乐弄成CD发行.我是那段该死的历史的受害者,所有那张专集以前的事都是过去了,而现在的就是它之后的了,反正很多人都是那么觉得的.

A:能不能说一说STRANGELOVE当时为什么解散?
D:时间长了,每个人自然都会有自己的想法.我们各自都写了很多东西,乐队的创造力似乎也增加了不少,但这对乐队的成员来说或许并不是一件好事.我想当时就是这个样子.但我们现在还都是好朋友.

A:随后你又有没有什么活动?
D:我和一位叫Madosini的非洲人合作了一段时间.她已经83岁了,一辈子都在做音乐.她的祖母教她如何演奏乐器,甚至如何自己制作乐器.她就这么一直演奏,从未出过一张唱片,甚至从未考虑过这个问题.我看着她在一个小房间里演奏,特别有魅力,于是我不停的问自己这一切都意味着什么.我很喜欢她的音乐,很淳朴,发字内心,但并不仅仅是音乐本身吸引我,更重要的是她做了一辈子的音乐.6个月前,有人发现了她并请她到一个音乐节上表演.她那时都还不知道Elvis是谁,但她的音乐听起来却象Captain Beefheart.她只能演奏两个音调,因此在编排上很奇怪.她想到什么就唱什么.这一切让我或多或少得想到了我刚开始做音乐的状况.
其实唱片工业更多关注的是那些乱七八糟的评论和商业上的成功.我也考虑过不少诸如此类的问题.但那天看着她的演出我不由想到了一些其他的东西--因为她与唱片工业无关,只是自己做自己的音乐--我就不由自主的"WOW"起来.这对我影响很大,我也很感激能有机会和她合作.我去了南非,同她一起写了一些歌;然后我们就到很多地方去演奏它们.这些对我真得很有启发,好象心底有什么东西复苏了一样,让我能够以新的精力做我以前做的事.

A:你是说人们一旦泄入唱片工业这个泥潭中,就再也找不到路了?
D:我说不清楚.人们对事情的反应都有所不同吧.我只知道对我而言,它没什么帮助.但我也不能说唱片工业就是废物,因为当我还在STRANGELOVE的时候他们的确也给了我很多支持.还是有不少在这一行工作的人是真正关心音乐的.甚至包括那些记者--我有时是会挨骂,不过整体来说,我还是觉得自己是受到支持的.

我想说的是,它消耗了我很多精力,而这对我的创造力并没什么帮助,当然这只是我个人的观点.我从不看电视,也不能看电视,因为我是个很会被外界因素影响的人,这一点我早就结受了.好比我每读一本书,一旦我跟着理性的思维走,我就会'YEAH YEAH YEAH'得赞同书中的观点...

A:你有没有觉得自己有时很男孩子气?
D:我不知道.有人这么说过.记得我19岁时,有一次我在读Anarchist Reader,我的女朋友对我说:''等你读到最后一页,你就会说'我是个无政府主义者''',我当时想,去你的吧.可现在这么多年过去了,我才发现她其实要比我自己更了解我.

A:你是不是以前曾是个基督徒?我好象在哪儿读过.
D:不,不是.

A:可Revolution杂志上有一篇报道,说有个年纪很小的歌迷找到你,想sleeping with you,你就试图用耶稣转变她.
D:奥,或许吧,谁会知道自己会做些什么...可能我只是觉得好玩.HAHAHA.

A:新专集听起来很不错,你有没有希望'Luxury Problems'为你取得什么,还仅仅是就把它发行出来算了?
D:我只是希望能继续做下去.我还有很多歌,我希望能继续在Harvest发唱片.能签到Harvest真得很酷.我喜欢Syd Barrett和那些早期Pink Floyd的专集.这是由EMI于1969年创立的厂牌,主要发行一些地下音乐和迷幻音乐.我喜欢六七十年代的东西.我希望能有创造力,能在很多人前面表演,能卖很多唱片.HAHAHA,就象其他人一样.

(就先翻到这了,我有点两眼发花了.最近也没多少时间去关心DUFF同学了,祝可爱的他一切都好)

 

在ＰＡＴＲＩＣＫ的网站上有他自己写的传记，不过不知道是可爱的ＤＵＦＦ同学太忙的原因，还是其他什么的，这个传记好久以来就只有part 1,不过，有总是好的．
My Biography

Part 1

I started playing my guitar in the street when I was 17. I didn’t know anyone else’s songs apart from John Lennon so I had to make up my own songs. I took the people going past and the concrete walls of the subway and the dogs and the wind and the shadows and the litter and the fags and all the shit I was going through and I made them into spontaneous songs. Sky songs I called them because they just came out of my mouth over whatever chords I felt like and it seemed like they fell out of the sky. I never remembered any of them – all that remains is a questionable memory that they were brilliant. They empowered me. When I sang them I was invincible. I could walk through walls and people’s glances bounced off me like toy arrows. I opened my mouth and the words poured out all over that filthy subway floor and I stood waist deep in them.

One day, when I was 22 and I was already an old man, Dave Francolini was driving past in his big car. He stopped and listened to me singing my songs. 'You’re going to be a pop star' he said 'get in the back of the car'. Dave introduced me to Alex and Julian. Me and Alex dropped acid and stayed up all night playing guitars. And that was Strangelove.

We got signed after five gigs. I remember driving up to London in the car. 'Why are we going to London today?' I said to Alex. 'We’ve got a deal' he said. I hadn’t realised that it was even happening. 'Does that mean we don’t have to sign on anymore?' I said. 'Yeah' Alex said. That sounded alright to me. I told them down the dole that I wasn’t going into the job club anymore and they looked disappointed. They hated me and anyone like me and they had a job licking the crap out of ditches all lined up for me and I escaped by the skin of my teeth.

In Strangelove I was able to get out all my thoughts and fears and secrets through performing and writing my lyrics. I couldn’t read then and could barely write, I’d never read a book and I couldn’t understand what they were going on about at school. So my lyrics came straight from the heart. I always found being around people difficult when I was young. I couldn’t talk to anyone about what was really going on for me and when I tried people backed off. I put my world into that band and tried to make it real. The words were the vehicle for my energy. The energy was what was important. And my fans told me they loved me and that was amazing and basically kept me alive through a beautiful but harrowing time.

"couldn't read ,could barely write?"可是DUFF同学的歌词恐怕要比其他很多傻乎乎的乐队都好,以前还见过有人把他比做叶芝哦.最可恨的是那种连自己写了什么都不清楚的乐队,竟乱拼凑一些晦涩模糊的歌词吓人.
