對我下了魔咒。Ed Harcourt

喜歡上來自英國Sussex的Ed Harcourt是從聽見《Stangers》專輯開始，灰白低調的封面並無透漏太多訊息，但Ed Harcourt 的優美旋律就像該張專輯錄音室地處瑞典偏僻鄉間一樣 (據Ed說還會有野豬跟山貓)，私密的躲起來，在暴風雪中闢出避難所，唱著搖滾與民謠聲音給你聽。

在發表了4張專輯、1張EP與1張B-Side，同時也是在去年頗獲好評、卻在台灣仍鮮少人知的專輯《The Beautiful Lie》後，Ed Harcourt在2007年也整理出一份精選輯，名為《Until Tomorrow Then: The Best of Ed Harcourt》，初回版收錄了CD2未發表過的新歌16首，據說此版賣完就不會再出有CD2 的版本；而CD1 則有2首新歌：〈You Put A Spell On Me〉(光名字就很動聽對吧。這首在10/1已發行了同名單曲)，以及曾收錄於《Here Be Monsters》的〈Whistle Of A Distant Train〉另一版本。

新歌：緩版的煽情情歌，頗芭樂：

Ed Harcourt - You Put A Spell On Me

再來聽聽《The Beautiful Lie》裡可愛的幽靈唱歌：

Ed Harcourt - Visit from the Dead Dog
(from "The Beautiful Lie")

接下來這支，Ed與恐怖的怪貓搏鬥，嗯...的確要是Apple of My Eye才有辦法養。(有看六人行的朋友們...記得有一集Rachel買了一隻會抓傷她的貓，是不是就長這樣啊？)

Ed Harcourt - Apple of My Eye
(from "Maplewood EP")

這支則是電梯驚魂記：

Ed Harcourt - She Fell Into My Arms
(from "Here Be Monsters")
