※ 引述《gamabeta (mutation)》之铭言:
: 这团如何啊
: 在cherry red出的这几张
: 有人听过嘛
爱爱爱
impo有两张509, The Enraged Will Inherit The Earth(+bonus tracks)和
I Am a Wallet/Banking on Violence and Inner Life Today(第一,三张专辑的combo)
诚音我记得也有一张(以上)摆很久了,大概是495这种价位(还有Monochorm Set在
Cherry Red发的也有好几张,Scarlet's Well的前身)
Banking on..是他们的最後一张,已有Laetitia的参与,少数几首也已有Stereolab前身
的影子,但是喜爱McCarthy的少数是因为Stereolab而连过来的,大多是循着C86的根,
以及欣赏他们在歌词上的运用与睿智.最着名的一首单曲Red Sleeping Beauty('86)就是
在讲柴契尔夫人(:I've been sounding this twenty years, ..she won't wake me..),
而瑞典indiepop始祖Red Sleeping Beauty('88-'97)团名就是引用这首歌名.
The Enraged Will..是他们的第二张专辑,89年发的,是他们公认最好的一张,也是
我的all time favorite,里面每首歌吉他(是由Malcolm教後来Stereolab的Tim弹的)
和弦都那麽jangly,以为这样的旋律在弹述爱情故事,但歌词内容却大多在讲述他对
不同事物,政治,及社会的看法,举例第一首Boy Meets Girl So What在最後三句点出
情歌的浮滥,另外他们也唱家境好的要多捐钱,政府军队杀人难道就被合理化..之类,
强烈社会主义意识形态的标签让他们的团性更不同於其他经典的C86乐团,..
不好意思一讲到McCarthy就讲太多了!其实我暗暗希望有人能把那张买回去,要不然
我没有现场bonus tracks也很想收Cherry Red版本的..
其实听McCarthy也是不用这麽沉重的背负Malcolm的歌词意涵,..下面是我之前写给朋友
在听一整天McCarthy後个人的情绪发泄..随便看看就好..
today(sat.) is my mccarthy day, listening again and again, they're my
favorite c86 sound though malcolm's slowly sung lyrics are often bored.
mccarthy is said to be despised by sounding similarly and the irrelevance
between ultra-jangly guitar and sarcastic lyrics by 'mainstream indie'
listeners. for those native english speakers, i can imagine how they
feel when they hear malcom's laggard lyrics singing anti-goverment songs,
it must be terrible. loser will be the term coming out of their head. and
i think they're also disliked by general british glory and the load christians.
but because i love their melody and guitar and THE VOCAL, i have to take
their lyrics as well, though the lyrics of wolfhound's me is much more
to one's heart. they sing 'boy meets girl so what',so what? witty so what.
and maybe in my deep heart i know they're not extraordinary but i fell in
love with them sometime at some point and the place they are in my heart
is the place when they first came and will be there ever since.
i don't have lots their stuff. only got 1lp, 1double album (i am a wallet/
banking..) and 'at war ep', maybe i think only 'the enranged will..' is
enough for me, and is enough to put me under the spell of imperfection.
there are lots great/interesting c86 bands out there there.i know.
