元宵節前一天看到EMI在特價,也沒想就抓了Radiohead去年的新輯「Hail To The Thief鵲賊篇」去結帳。以前看多了誇他們的文章,雖然自己有The Bends,認真聽的也只有跟人借的97年石破天驚的經典Ok Computer而已(不怎麼用功,哈哈)。下一張轉折Kid A則是根本沒碰。以前在聽什麼……聽Lo-Fi去了。
放了一星期,前幾天半夜拿來聽。到現在聽完整張,急著講,熱血沸騰,太多感覺從毛細孔湧出一時激動無法形容…(好爛的形容)。這張是到LA錄音室現場收音的作品,受到村上春樹「發條鳥年代記」影響,說的是黑暗籠罩人心和世界。龐大陰鬱又透著陽光,依稀我好像也看見幾年前在洛城市區,車裡看著人群往哪去,夏日令人昏沉的烈陽照著……。
每個人都該聽Radiohead!
Hail To The Thief每首都喜歡。更奇怪的是,每一首都會像劇場般有一個畫面。畫面太多只能說出大概(邊打同時手也在抖)。一開始最愛電氣堆疊的Sit Down, Stand Up還有Backdrifts,然後聽見彷彿,霧氣朦朧天空開始墜落Where I End and You Begin,描寫以性為交易的We Suck Young Blood懶洋洋的拍手聲不寒而慄……一路下去最讓我當場想跳舞的是最後的結尾A Wolf at the Door ( It Girl. Rag Doll. ),三拍子和百無聊賴的唸唸,讓直接聯想到以前看德國舞蹈劇場大師Pina Bausch碧娜鮑許的作品「交際場」,人際關係裡面帶微笑又充滿著攻擊性,互噬之後退回淒清的原點,巨大的孤獨感吞沒。
不知道我在寫什麼。
如果哪天鮑許再來台,我好希望能看到他獨自張開手臂的獨舞「Cafe Muller穆勒咖啡館」或者一地花海的「康乃馨」。
Drag him out the window
Dragging out your dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes & ladders flip the
lid out pops the cracker
smacks you in the head knifes
you in the neck kicks you in
the teeth steel toe caps takes
all your credit cards step up
get the gunge
不知從何時腦裡一直存在的畫面一群穿著黑西裝的男女面無表情規則的在昏黃咖啡廳裡桌子規律的縫隙跳舞。一起牽手以可憐的眼神看著天花板旋轉碰撞前進後退推擠微笑擁抱孤寂休息所有的憤怒dance you fucker dance you fucker don't you dare don't you flan in the face.
Help me, call the doctor,
put me inside put me inside
put me inside put me inside
put me inside
I keep the wolf from the
door but he calls me up calls
me on the phone tells me all
the ways that he's gonna mess
me up
繼續繼續繼續我求你跳舞跳舞沒有關係因為野狼在外面野狼在外面野狼在外面野狼在外面野狼在外面野狼在外面→→→
Walking like a giant cranes
& with my x ray eyes I strip
you naked in a
Tight little world & are you
on the list?
Stepford wives who are we
to complain?
Investments & dealers.
Investments & dealers.
Cold wives & mistresses.
Cold wives & Sunday
papers city boys in First Class
don't know we're born just
know
Someone else is gonna
come & clean it up
Born & raised for the job
Someone always does
I wish you'd get up go over
get up go over & turn this
tape off
(It Girl, Rag Doll.)
