Of Montreal @ Terminal 5
Of Montreal @ Terminal 5

一周半前的事了,一直都没贴。18号的时候跑去听了俺最爱的小乐队 Of Montreal 在纽约的演出,地点在 Terminal 5。原来以为是个类似酒吧的地方,没想到地方很大,基本就是个大迪厅。。。离开始还半个小时,舞台下就已经挤满人,跟着随便放的音乐乱 high。开场的 Janelle Monáe 果然是不错的,小姑娘很有性格也能镇的住场子,虽然好听的歌就那一两首吧,但就搞得气氛很热烈,我站在二楼都觉得好像很 high。在 Of Montreal 出场前我转战一楼,加入舞台下的人群中,混杂着些许大麻味道。之前在 Dartmouth 时看到过他们一场演出,所以我知道他们肯定是不缺花样儿的。果然,主唱 Kevin Barnes 一如既往的贱加小尴尬,各种乱七八糟的道具,让人真是听的看的很高兴啊。旁边有一位大哥,整场都很 high,先在我们前面乱晃遮挡视线,然后跑到我们后面解开衬衫和他女友一砣人热舞,并同时放声歌唱,让人惊讶的是他唱得居然还非常好。演唱会听的很开心,票价也才不到$30,看来这种表演是周末休闲的好去处啊。下面附一段手机拍的 Hydra Fancies 片段,Kevin 同学先骑大马,然后小尴尬的自己乱扭了一会儿,最后再挥挥翅膀 @_@。另外,现场可是要比录像里收到的声音吵闹的多的多了。

Of Montreal – Our Riotous Defects

// September 2nd, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Music & Show

买了9月18号 Of Montreal 在扭腰演出的票,满心欢喜啊满心期待。新专辑虽然乍听下来觉得还好,但向来喜欢玩弄歌词的他们,加上灵怪又catchy的旋律,越听也是越好玩咧,还可以学习些生僻词汇-_-。尤其听到像 Our Riotous Defects 这样欠揍装疯装幼稚但又很恶毒的小歌,又怎能不满足的笑一下呢。其实曲调还是很不错的哪,这歌里面献了声的 Janelle Monáe 好像也是个有点趣味的新人,演出会做暖场。

No Conclusion

// April 12th, 2007 // 18 Comments » // Academic, Life, Music & Show

今天搞定了所有签字,交了 thesis proposal 的申请表,现在计划的 proposal date 是5月21号,咳咳,我现在还没开始写proposal哪。标题才刚决定没几天,写了个abstract。虽然写个10几页就行了,可是还是紧张啊。我大概还有两到三周的时间,咳咳,希望不要太懒。晾一下现在定的标题好了:Search for Exotic Superfluid States through Ultracold Fermions -_-。当然最要命的问题是其中要搞的一个理论方向我现在还是不懂啊,啊啊啊。Anyway,反正也就这样了。

这两天在听我最热爱的乐队 Of Montreal 的新EP,有首9分多钟的长歌,挺不错。和其他多数歌词长的歌不一样,它的曲调并不是简单重复,也是在大跳跃的,像是两三首呼应的小歌并在一起似的。其实 Of Montreal 的很多专辑都可以从头到尾连在一起当首大歌听的。反正,我觉得这歌不错。

Of Montreal – No Conclusion

Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself
Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself

There’s someone calling my name
But there’s nothing to respond
I lost so much in our collapse
Man, my little hope is gone

The voice said don’t worry friend
The darkness is just a suggestion
Oh don’t worry kid
This darkeness is just a suggestion
Oh don’t worry Kevin

I’m allergic to the world when we’re separated
There’s nothing in my heart that’s worth the beating
Feeling like a styrofoam prop
Ennui is eating
I’m sure we talk and talk
But nothing worth repeating
I feel defeated

Now I’m O.D.ing on your cocksucker blues
You make me uptight
When you just don’t work right
You painted my prison now something’s wrong
And I never ever wanted to write this song

I’m killing myself but it’s not suicide
I’m killing myself
I’m killing myself but it’s not suicide
I’m killing myself
And my friends will never know
Because I’ve never been
Because I’ve never been honest with anyone

Always pulling faces from the unreposessing places of the universal mind
I’m crippled by the world when we’re divided
There’s nothing in my heart that’s worth the clicking
Feeling like a Pamplona bull that’s finished kicking

Although we try to break the loop
It’s always stuck repeating
I feel defeated

Now I’m O.D.ing on your cocksucker blues
You make me uptight
When you just don’t work right
You painted my prison now something’s wrong

And I never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it’s hopeless

And i never ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it’s hopeless

Suffer For Fashion

虽然我已经说了一次两次三次,但是再说一次也不多哈,我热爱 Of Montreal。终于,他们又快要出新专辑了,日子定在明年初。但是,整张专辑现在已经泄露流传在网上了,于是我就已经在听了-_-。咳咳,不过既然我这么热爱他们,嗯,估计到时候总还是要买正版支持一下的。他们的音乐还是一如既往的好玩好听,听得我心欢喜呀,所以他们继续稳坐我最喜欢乐队的交椅哈。很想把专辑里的第一首歌 Suffer For Fashion 放上来,可是又觉得有点对不起他们,结果发现这首歌已经在 Pitchfork 上免费提供来宣传了,哈。不过歌词的话,就还是很不好找,Of Montreal 的歌词向来天马行空,常常会有诡异至极的想象,纯听常常是根本听不出来,当然这首歌算是正常的,所以已经有人总结出歌词了,嗯,不错。万圣节,就拿这个当作treat吧,let’s emasculate them together,哈。

能快乐的歌唱,多好。

Of Montreal – Suffer For Fashion

We just want to emote ’til we’re dead
I know we suffer for fashion or whatever
We don’t want these days to ever end
We just want to emasculate them forever
Forever
Forever

Our pretty sirens don’t go flat
It’s not supposed to happen like that
Not like that
Not like that
We’ve got to keep it physical

When our teller is 6 hours away
Please come to say that you miss me, feel me, or whatever
Is this in tune to a box in your head
Well, they just want to emaciate them forever
Forever
Forever

Our pretty sirens don’t go flat
It’s not supposed to happen like that
Not like that
Not like that

We’ve got to keep our little clique clicking at 130bpm
It’s not too slow
If we’ve gotta burn out, let’s do it together
Let’s all melt down together

Together
Let’s go together
Let’s do it together
Let’s go together

I love Of Montreal

of montreal

昨晚要看我最最最喜欢乐队Of Montreal的现场演出,所以决定晚饭也腐败庆祝一下。去了镇上的Murphy’s,点了Montreal Style Ribeye,虽然Of Montreal并不来自Montreal,不过感觉比较应合主题,呵呵。演出在一个很小的地方,大概也就4,50平米的样子,不过好处就是免费。9点开门,本来门口写着请不要在8:45前排队,结果我8:30多一点到那里都排了相当长了,还有人不停找前面认识的人夹进去,搞的我一直紧张排不进去,还好我rp不错,呵呵。

montreal and me给Of Montreal开场的是同一厂牌下的乐队The M’s,他们的第二首和第三首歌还挺好听的,可是谁知道他们就这么一首一首不停的唱了下去,我看现场演出次数不多,不过暖场乐队唱了十多首一个小时应该不算正常的吧-_-。The M’s唱完后调音又调了好久,不过,从Of Montreal上台的那一刻起,我就知道这些等待都是值得的。听Of Montreal的音乐,古灵精怪的,曲调节奏常常突然变调,但仍然觉得是一个清新的indie小乐队,但看了现场,这种印象就被完全打破了。开场时主唱(男)是穿着婚纱上场的-_-,说高兴的一夜要从结婚开始,背景上结婚进行曲,还直接下跪挑逗台前小女生。换装都是直接在台上脱到只剩小内裤然后换上新的一套。其他成员当然没他这么夸张,但也都打扮了一下,比如假发,大帽子,眼影。。。但不要认为他们是耍宝的没前途乐队。他们懂得调动现场气氛,同时他们的音乐确实很棒。有之前的那个乐队对比,差别更是明显。基本每首歌之后主唱都会在上边贫半天,其实听他们的专辑就已经知道他喜欢讲诡异的故事,不过舞台上的他绝对更癫狂,讲的东西有的很搞笑,有的就完全混乱,都不知道他在说啥-_-。乐队的其他人也都很有才,都没法用什么鼓手之类的词代称,比如其中一个很cute的家伙又键盘又鼓手又吉他还吹小号,主唱老婆也是一样。我在下面听着歌,快乐的不得了,除了几首新歌,其他都是我熟悉的,跟着他们摇头跳舞哼着歌,太幸福了。可惜手机在这样的光线下效果不好,文章开头那张就是最好的一张了,可惜只照到5个人中的3个。

可惜欢乐的时光总是过的很快,12点多,演出结束了:(。出去买了件写着“I heart Of Montreal”的Tshirt,看到主唱和他照了张合影。后来后悔应该和他聊两句,说前段时间姐姐才在Leeds UK看了他们的演出,结果现在我就也能亲眼看到他们了。难道是姐弟两puppy力量无限,狗年大旺,结果他们就来了,哈哈。以后再有机会看他们的演出我一定还去,非常精彩!
