Live fast die young 的摇滚乐听了这麽些年 听到伴自己成长的歌者撒手人寰的一瞬, 总还是难以接受 大前年的 Elliott Smith, 去年的 Grant McLennan, 都在我心里留下或许不大但无可弥补的空洞 这个月初, 我才知道 Nikki Sudden 去年此时逝於纽约, 今天刚好是一周年忌日 这位始终游走在边缘的歌手, 70年代率 Swell Maps 以短小精悍的噪音摇滚走过庞克风潮 80年代单飞,在 Creation, Glass 等独立厂留下许多佳作 (还有和 Dave Kusworth 合组的 Jacobites, 当年蓝侬唱片发过卡带) 90年代中期之後, 很少听到他的消息 後来才知道他仍然创作不辍, 还重组了Jacobites 甚至死前才刚完成新作 "The Truth Doesn't Matter" 或许他没有写过一张能完全靠好歌折服我的专辑 但那歌声细瘦而乐风狂野的民谣摇滚, 应该还会占据我脑海一阵子吧 Rest in peace. http://www.nikkisudden.com/news/index.htm Secretly Canadian 的一系列重发专辑, 有下载试听 http://www.secretlycanadian.com/artist.php?name=sudden 推荐 Jangle Town, Death Is Hanging Over Me, Big Store, Shame for the Angels "Death Is Hanging Over Me" 是引我认识Sudden的第一首歌, 这是另一个版本: http://0rz.tw/aa2vX "The Last Bandit", Nikki Sudden在我心目中形象的最佳写照: http://0rz.tw/012sm "Green Shield Stamps", 出自2006年的最後专辑, 也是对青春的最後回顾和告别: http://0rz.tw/c42xT 改天或许再来谈早他九年过世的胞弟/战友 Epic Soundtracks.
