Rebel without a Clue – The Replacements: Don’t You Know who I Think I was?


最近沉迷於唸書當中,幹!我痛恨用沉迷這兩個字!尤其是這個沉迷是面對自己最痛恨的考試,想寫點東西又怕被老媽看到(天殺的我老媽知道我有部落格)!覺得我不務正業寫音樂相關的東西,我有時候真不知該怎麼辦才好……我也有需要發洩的空間!這是我想強調的!


在華大的同學大熊是個精通手相的算命高手,他在和我不熟的時候幫我看過手相,說我的命格中有著藝術性格,但是卻因為走上法律這條路而漸漸地消失,我聽到了當場呆住,不知該哭該笑,搞到後來兩頭不是人,那感覺真是他媽的糟!


我也想成就一番事業,有著極大的抱負,但是總是又會自怨自艾,覺得好像走錯了路。最近偶爾寫點東西,卻發現少了感覺,少了將自己聽音樂的真誠感受寫出來的能力,當下真的是想撞牆,覺得很鬱悶,覺得…….

不是真心寫出來的東西,能看嗎?


The Replacements,這是在我部落所發表的第五篇有關Replacements的文章,因為我聽說台灣有代理,如果說我這個破爛部落格有人看,一天五十人,那麼我希望這五十人,至少願意支持一下這次的精選。


Pitchfork難得地給8.8高分,且評論內容還算中肯,差別在於評論者所不喜歡的專輯卻是我喜歡的專輯(其實我都喜歡,所以這樣也不中肯),這次Replacements的新精選和之前所發行的All for Nothing那張最大的不同在於,這次的新精選所有過往專輯全部一口打盡(上張精選有版權問題所以僅收錄Reprise時期的歌曲),並且有兩首成員在闊別十多年後重新聚首灌錄的兩手新歌,我邊寫這篇的同時正在聽著這張精選,即使他們所有專輯與上張精選我全都有了,我還是一樣的死忠…….很變態的死忠!


他們有多重要?


New York Times六月二十號的專訪訪問了Paul Westerberg(請注意!New York Times!)


最近也開始搞成部落格形式的Pitchfork給了八點八(請注意!Pitchfork!)


一大堆外國部落狂炒(請注意!大家都在聽都想聽喔!)


十二月人主唱為33 1/3系列寫了一本有關The Replacements的書(這本書很好看,其實沒怎麼強調The Replacements,但是有玩團的人必看的心路歷程!)


我和Head of Femur聊到我最愛的樂團時,說最愛U2團員就有點似笑非笑,但說The Replacements大家都認為我有品味!


The Replacements影響了一狗票的樂團(請參考New York Times專訪,但我相信不止這些)


還有

我辛苦翻譯了三篇文章外加一篇新聞報導(我懶得貼連結,如果大家只想要聽新東西的話,那我天天貼都不成問題,要看自己從左邊慢慢點選一篇一篇找)。


我也懶得放試聽……..


我也炒作……..


聽不聽隨便你們,但是我只知道,The Replacements,在我的生命中,有他的地位在

回應文章
最近自己更新部落格的速度開始變慢
一方面是論文已接近收尾的階段
有很多東西需要彙整與修改
總覺得時間不夠用
被追著跑的感覺很累

另一方面的原因恰巧與你相同
對音樂的熱情還在
但是將之形諸於文字的感覺好像突然消失了
有好幾篇東西開了頭
卻不知如何繼續寫下去
只能用"悶"這個字來形容
後來想想
或許是自己少了一些沉澱的時間
去凝聚對音樂的感動
好像應該給自己放個假
在論文完成之後

一起加油吧!!

The good thing is nothing last forever. When the page is turned and the next chapter begins, you will be flying high again. All these will be nothing but memory. You probably know what works for you. I always just go listen to some familiar music that I feel close to. There is time for exploring and there is time for healing.

Some bands make it big, some bands just not able to do it, at least the Replacements reached legendary status. Fans may have missed out some great music but I am not sure I feel sorry for them. Who knows how many other musicians just as worthy went unrecognized?

to 粉紅機器人六號,
對於所學接觸的越深,越覺得自己好像失去了什麼.

感動的力量以及原本我自己就不具備的文筆,讓我想寫東西時總是會寫不出適當的句子.

壓力越大只能期許自己成長的越快速了!

一起加油吧!最近有點諸事不順的感覺,希望支持我的人願意諒解我的不成才........

越寫越心酸,我的媽阿~

to yando,

Thanks for your encouragement. Sometimes I may wonder but there is still a long way to go.

I believe you also have suffered before this kind of situation. There is big difference between eastern and western cultures. We eastern people seem to always judge people by one side rather than seeing them by the true deep soul and personality. Sometimes I wonder why but actually I don't have much time wondering. I only hope I could survive.

As for the Replacements, they bring really a huge influence on me. Not only the music itself but also the attitude and lyrics that make me think. I think it's quite important especially for a wondering man like me. I only hope other young listeners can give them a shot, they will recognize what worth listening and what not.
