Vol.954 余辉尽头

落网音乐精选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

从自行车到塑胶跟鞋

School uniform to flares

从学校制服到烟火

A little silver make-up

Black eyeliner in swathes

We took the train to London

Hanging out at Eric's

In cobwebbed frilly sleeves

Dressed roughly as Victorians

Paint a red disc on your forehead

Some lightning 'cross your cheek

His sunmachine, his starry man

Freeze in thick wool overcoats

In the shadow of the wall

And the record goes around, around

And the needle gathers dust

And the fantasy's unreal

而幻想已显得虚幻

Still I'm glad I took the London train

On the Bed-Pan freedom line

Went out to those dodgy clubs

And changed back to my school uniform in the Gents on platform 9
