prelude to listmania : album pt.3
,當然這是指一自媒體所構築出的普羅印象。Katie Holmes願臣為男性附庸的漫天報導,簡直較Paris,Linday和Britney大喇喇展演身體自主權的畫刊還可悲 。倘若我們再讓Alanis Morissette的年度最爛翻唱Crazy和Sarah McLachlan了無聲趣的耶誕頌傳入耳畔 ,那麼很難不意識到主流檯面上獨立女性發聲,其籌碼似實擁於廠牌主管手中。那些年頭裡靈秀的憤懣的莉莉絲音樂節所傳遞出的, 早已在依舊很父權的新世紀第七年 ,慘遭Beyonce於MV中所躍動而被GQ形容為"獻給帝王的部落舞"云云於媒體間給淹沒。
還好有她們堅持著。Cat Power Joanna Newsom Amy Winehouse Emily Haines
Isobel & Tracy Campbell Regina Spektor Juana Molina El Perro Del Mar以及Nellie McKay和世界版圖裡許許多多不如Lily Allen般幸運而沈浮在mySpace的女性音樂創作者們 ,她們沒能忽視內在力量。在這漸陷泥沼的音樂工業,她們卻自在得恣意得很 ,她們詩詠她們低語著她們信服的真理,她們比任何聽者更相信自己的嗓音。或許我們永難看透她們 ,或許你說 ,Chan還是像過往那副神經兮兮你比較習慣 ; Joanna太賣弄太arty ; Juana每張專輯好像大同小異 ; Emily在Broken Social Scene或Metric的表現好像更濃烈 ; 坎貝兒姊妹還是一個努力化身荒漠裡的Francoise Hardy一個意欲追隨姊姊過往的那個indie大團和Victoria Bergsman ; 而早提名過水晶音樂獎的Amy Winehouse這回只不過順風編纂入Jamie Lidell和Gnarls Barkley聯手抄起的騷靈重生記才得以發光發熱 ; 而Lily把玩的是些Mike Skanner早用過的urban伎倆 ; 但你邊嘮叨卻邊又一回一回地聆聽這些音樂出品 ,然後悄悄將她們譜寫的那些雋永音韻鉗入mp3部落格,好向所有人證明 在female singer-songwriter淪為沒人想提的詞彙之際 ,直探心靈角落的,態度鮮明而不張揚的女性之聲,還是迴響著迴響著,而你永不捨turn it down, turn it off 。

Though you said so,
listening to McLachlan renovate Mitchell's River is such a warm-hearted joy. Not to mention her version of Song for a Winter's Night, that's indeed a soulful pleasure in cold winter night, tear-jerking sometimes.
But, except these two songs, all the others are skippable...

Haha, I prefer Aimee Mann's xmas hymns. And I do think that Travis did a better job as to renovate Mitchell's River.
But how I used to love Mclachlan when she was still a hidden treasure in Canada... :)
Being mudane doesn't mean that one has to lose all that creativity.
