My Albums of 2007

名廠Factory Records的創辦人Tony Wilson與搖滾神殿CBGB的創建者Hilly Kristal，更於短短一個月內相繼撒手人寰。本身雖不是樂手，他們心中那股永不止息的熱情與精力，卻分別成了英倫後龐克與紐約龐克的幕後推手。兩人的識人之明與寬宏心胸，也成了後繼者感念不已的經典人物。...繼續閱讀

My Favorite Movies of 2007

第一次透過試片觀看I’m Not There，雖已相當喜歡，年度落點大約只在五名左右。相隔一週，再度走入戲院看了一回，立刻成為心中毫無疑問的年度榜首。好電影或好音樂絕對經得起反覆聆賞與檢驗，I’m Not There正屬那種可以看上一輩子，每次仍能擁有嶄新體悟的藝術傑作。...繼續閱讀

Juicy Mix 2007

沿用了I Still Remember海報左上角那圈廣獲討論的謎樣黑色圓點。這些色彩繽紛的小球乍看下還真像小時候玩的某款PC Game裡的七彩益智彈珠。感謝DJ 水果龍花了幾天幾夜的時間將這些風格迥異的曲子銜接成一連串新鮮生猛的聽覺快樂丸。尤其Pela – Lost To The Lonesome與LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends這兩曲的無縫堆疊。...繼續閱讀

Disappointing Albums of 2007

下列這些作品，除了Clap Your Hands Say Yeah與Smashing Pumpkins讓我失望至無話可說，其餘專輯絕非毫無可取之處。譬如Bloc Party或Interpol，皆有歌曲名列於我年度單曲之上；譬如Bjork或Arctic Monkeys，皆是花了大把銀兩打造出的上乘製作物。...繼續閱讀

Appreciating 2007 & Revisiting 2006

嚴格說來，除了Bloc Party、Arctic Monkeys與Bjork是讓我失望之作（Smashing Pumpkins與Clap Your Hands Say Yeah原已不抱期待，因此新作的慘況對我產生的殺傷力較小），其餘感興趣的發行物若一字排開，幾乎張張佳作，水準非常整齊。...繼續閱讀

Juicy Mix 2006

由於Pulp有果漿之意，與水果龍均為果字輩，將之命名為Juicy Mix真是再切題不過。Chris利用吸管做成的專輯封面，一來排出Juicy Mix 2006的字樣，同時也暗示了這是汁多味美的音樂。 ...繼續閱讀

2005, The Year of Grief, The Year of Ecstasy

失眠與安眠藥，咳嗽與感冒藥。舊的CD封套，新的LP膠膜。書桌上的灰塵，電腦上的頭髮。超市裡的巴西葡萄，德國進口的絕版唱片。十二篇永遠寫不完的文章，退化的國語文能力。快樂與更快樂，疏離與更疏離。結冰的眼淚，窗外的雪。聽一百遍也不厭煩的歌，聽了一秒就厭倦的曲子。 ...繼續閱讀

My Top 50 Albums Of 2005 So Far

列這榜單的好處有二: 一是重新溫習過去六個月來陪伴自己的好唱片，二是整理年終榜時能省下不少工夫。這些名次當然都還會改變，事實上許多唱片的排名也於過去半年內升升降降。有些初聽驚為天人，但經不起耐久考驗的唱片，排次只能稍微退後；相反的，一些慢熱型的唱片則有急起直追之勢。...繼續閱讀

Farewell 2004

Ambulance Ltd給了Shoegazer樂迷一個全新的出口；Secret Machines把老搖滾的迷幻靈魂重新拼裝組合，帶來的是動聽撼人的新品種搖擺樂；Rilo Kiley可能是這五年來我最喜歡的女主唱樂團，每張專輯都給人義無反顧的安定感，爽朗的西岸吉他流行曲，如此美麗的姿態怎能不教人多看幾眼。The Dears給了The Smiths的舊樂迷們一個新的想像，新的期待；The Delays也延續住了英倫美聲樂派的香火；至於Kasabian、Keane、Razorlight、The Music能走多久端看自己造化，媒體只能抬轎一次，接下來還是得靠自己。...繼續閱讀
