Sonic Youth精选专辑《Hits Are For Squares 》-大牌们的选择 - [音谋家]
除了Sonic youth全新创作的单曲《Slow Revolution》之外,这张限量版CD中收录的歌曲都是由多位大名鼎鼎的人物精挑细选出来的心头大爱,这些人中就包括Radiohead、Pearl Jam乐队成员Eddie Vedder等。
要从无数作品中选出十几首并非易事,参选者们的理由也各异。我最喜欢的还是Eddie Vedder挑选的《Teenage Riot》。正如Eddie所述,没有什么比听《Teenage Riot》更有感觉。
相比较于乐队的经典作品, 有点极简味道的《Slow Revolution》则显得逊色不少。

1983-2008年的最佳专辑? - [新闻头条]
为了庆祝其发刊1,000期,美国的Entertainment Weekly 杂志特别列了所谓的“新经典”的排名,包括,图书、电影和音乐。
以下就是音乐专辑的“百大”。排名的标准有点让人疑惑,比如流行歌手Kelly Clarkson的专辑居然排在了RADIOHEAD的《 OK Computer》 和枪花的《 Appetite For Destruction》之前。
请注意下时间,排名是从1983年算起,而对于金属乐队Metallica来说,只有专辑《Metallica》入选,而其另外几张出色的专 辑Kill 'Em All (1983), Ride The Lightning (1984), Master Of Puppets (1986)却没有入选。
再仔细看看排名前20的专辑,更是奇怪了,到底是商业成绩为主,还是音乐成就为主?这样的排名着实让人不解。

“九寸钉”继续来猛的 - [音谋家]
“九寸钉”是继续Radiohead之后促成唱片工业革命的又一猛将,先前短短几个月内就网络发行了两张专辑《The Slip 》和《Ghost I-IV》,大有盖过Radiohead的势头。“九寸钉”也似乎就是为了踩着RH而垫高自己,之前Trent Reznor就曾斥责过RH的不地道,而乐队一波接着一波的攻势,让人相信他们有将革命进行地更加彻底的勇气。这次“九寸钉”又来了一击猛的,乐队巡演开始,继续提供现场记录的免费下载。先行推出的试听版本收录了5首高质量的歌曲,包括为巡演暖场的a place to bury strangers, does it offend you, yeah?, crystal castles还有deerhunterdoes it offend you, yeah?的作品,歌迷只需输入自己的邮箱地址既可以得到下载提示。
诸如网络提供免费下载的游戏也只能是 “九寸钉”和Radiohead这样绝对大牌才玩的起的,有影响力,有经济势力,再加上点决心,才有可能将免费的晚餐提供到底。歌迷是受益不少,而对那些还在为生计打拼,或者刚刚自己自足的小乐队来说,却只能甘当这场游戏的牺牲品了,Dirty Pretty Things的主唱就曾对Coldplay网络发行新单曲的做法表示强烈不满,大牌们要是免费,就是逼迫小乐队跟着免费,对小乐队来说,这显然是很难做到的。如果这场游戏继续,最后结果将是大牌更加大牌,小乐队更加拮据,当然受益的总会是歌迷。
