Vol.954 余辉尽头
本期为Twee Pop & C86(童稚流行)音乐专题。
1986年,英国周刊NME出版了一盘被称为C-86的磁带,这盘磁带的作品具有典型的男女和声、寄情相思的歌词、颇具感染力的旋律和简单不矫揉造作的演奏。C-86的影响只持续了很短时间,但对后来的乐队影响甚大。大西洋两岸的后来者汲取了其中简约、纯朴的品质,从而演绎出更多绝妙的旋律。
严格的来说,C86不是一种风潮、更不是一种曲风,他们只是用一种清新简单、明亮动人的音色来复现心中的青春乌托邦。如同害羞而单纯、直率而天真永远是C86最大的特点一样,所有年轻里的冲动、痴狂都会在崭新的一天里尽情燃烧,就像Kitchens of Distinction在《Japan To Jupiter》里唱的:
From bicycles to platform heels
