Regret: JAMC

今天下午

今天去逛唱片行，去了一家平常常去看的二手唱片行，印象中他被我歸類為老舊的唱片行。這是一家很妙的店，裡面甚麼都賣，卡帶，海報，衣服，黑膠，書籍，雜誌，賣一大堆亂七八糟的東西。不過我平常都是去逛黑膠，他黑膠收藏的量之多，不過大多都是很舊的唱片。像是 The Everly Brothers，或是 Donna Summer 這類的唱片。今天去看，主要是想要找 Françoise Hardy 或是 Singles Soundtrack 的黑膠唱片。結果兩個都沒找到，卻讓我找到一間密室，充滿寶藏的密室。裡面也是一大堆唱片，我先在 Joy Division/New Order 區看了一下，居然有 "Ceremony" 的十二吋黑膠，我看到整個大嗨！雖然不是我夢想中那白色和淺藍色的封面，但是卻是原版深綠色的。接著，在其他區翻翻，又找到 The Replacements 的 Stink 黑膠，跟 Don't Tell A Soul 黑膠。看到時真的是超級無敵的爽。接著在 J區，又找到了 JAMC "April Skies" 的十二吋黑膠。在 S 區，有 The Smiths A面是"Sheila Take A Bow"，B面是 "Is It Really So Strange"/"Sweet and Tender Hooligan"還有 Stone Roses "Sally Cinnamon" 的十二吋。也找到我之前找都找不到的 Tom Waits 黑膠唱盤。在那間小小的密室裡，我隨便翻翻就拿了五張黑膠我真的很想買的，如果隨便拿的話，應該可以拿個四五十張吧。因為上面都沒標價錢，我拿去櫃檯問，準備打算把這幾張黑膠帶回家。結果問了一下，十二吋單曲一張要 AU$30，專輯則要一張 AU$40，算成台幣差不多一張黑膠一千塊左右。這個價錢，我實在是買不下手。而且店員告訴我，那間平常是不能進去的。也是阿，這些唱片如果隨便擺在外面早就被人家買走了，還輪的到我。唉，是白開心了一場。不過，真的，我好想買 "Ceremony" 跟 "April Skies" 這兩張單曲黑膠...

I Wish I Was There

My Bloody Valentine 1991

The Jesus and Mary Chain 1986

- Anytime, anywhere before the death of Ian Curtis...

Woodstock 1969

Hide Myself

What if I die
Would you even cry
God knows it's true
I didn't understand you

I've been trying to hide myself from you
I've been trying to run and hide from you

Got no reason to go
Got no reason to stay

God knows it's true
God knows it's over

Got news for you
You didn't understand me

Taste of Cindy ( Acoustic)

考試一天的音樂

今天坐公車去考試時，放了 Sonic Youth 的 The Eternal。澎湃而來的鼓聲，招牌鏗鏘吉他噪音，讓我一首接著一首的聽下去。戴著耳機聽，真是好聽！不過沒有整張聽完就到學校了，感覺上後面的歌好像有比較弱掉。

考完試後出來換上 Jesus and Mary Chain 的 Stoned & Dethroned。最近超喜歡他們的這張的，全部都沒有噪音的歌。可以說是 Lo-fi 的芭樂歌。因為每首都好好聽。每首歌其實都還蠻 sad 的，最近聽這張專輯的歌感覺就是很對，我也不知道為什麼。是我心目中第三名的 JAMC 專輯。
God Help Me...

再去吃飯的路上，換上 Ryan Driver的新專輯。關於這張我有三樣特別喜歡的東西，爵士樂用的 acoustic bass，他的歌聲，跟他的吉他。他的聲音，只要不要拉高音，一切都很棒。他的吉他有時候聽起來很舒服，有時聽起來會想要把他關掉，因為太悲了。整張專輯的歌有些很奇怪，有些很棒。

回家的時候，最後我還是拿出輕鬆舒服的 God Help The Girl。
Come Monday Night~

Head On

Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame

As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won't do
And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up
I can't cool down
I can't get my head off the ground
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you
Was all I ever took from you
Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found
Makes you wanna feel
Makes you wanna try
Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky

fuck yeah!

April = White Noise

Last April。Favourite two shoegazing bands。Live。The Jesus and Mary Chain，The Raveonettes。April = White Noise。Wall of Sound。Personal。Significance。April Skies。

前兩天去看 M83中間的休息時間放的就是我買The Raveonettes的第一張專輯 The Chain Gang of Love。第一次聽到這張的我，完全的被 blown out。馬的，怎麼可以這麼爽！去年下面這兩首歌現場都沒有聽到。不過，無所謂。四月我只需要白色的音牆就好。說到音牆，The Ronettes 的歌真是很棒！

JAMC - April Skies

The Raveonettes - Noisy Summer

The Ronettes - Be My Baby

Some Candy Talking

(from Wry Myspace)

Wry made a JAMC cover in the third and final volume of the Club AC30 compilations which consists of sixteen bands covering shoegaze classics! You can try them here.

Anyway, I wanna talk about the song, some candy talking.

It was one of the best song by Jesus and Mary Chain. Wry didn't make too much changes in the cover but added a very interesting piece of recording. Actually, I have seen that video before on youtube, such a classic interview. Haha, that's the golden age of JAMC. Here it is:
