Muzak!!! | 音樂!!! |音乐!!!

I haven't phyiscally purchased music in a long long time. Ever since I got my itunes account, I sort of thought buying cd's was pointless. Specially since once they are on my computer and ipod(s) I never touch them again. Plus finding a place to store them is a pain in the ass too. I already have enough trouble with my crazy dvd collection. But today I had the day off and decided to hit the HMV across from where I'm staying in Tokyo. The joys of browsing the aisles of racks looking for something to pique my interest suddenly came back to me and I went crazy. This first CD was in the Japanese indie section and after listening to the first track on the listening station I threw it in my basket. Can't understand anything in the jacket but I think it's a live session with these two rockabilly bands. The Shell Rockets wear old skool biker jackets and The Specters wear mod suits. There are a couple of Elvis covers but mostly original stuff, all in Japanese.

Bloodest Saxophone. I love the name of this band. They are another old skoll 50's rock revival band with two Saxophones and matching suits with slicked up hair. Miso Soup Booghttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifie is the best song on the album. They do a great version of Tequila too.

The BlueHerbare heavies in the underground Japanese hip-hop scene. My friend Kenya highly reccomended me to give them a listen. Although I can't understand the lyrics, they spit them deep and dark. This album's got a certain cinematic element to it. A nice alternative to all the Hip-Pop crap out there today.

The ZooBombs. This album rocks hard and is probably the best find of the day. This recording is from a furious live gig in Toronto. They play rock like it was meant to be. The liner claims they are one of the best live bands in the world today. A hefty statement to make but after a listen I think I might have to agree. They're playing in Yokohama soon!

I got this album just for a laugh. An orthodox Jew singing reggae/dub? Turns out homeboy's got serious skillz, a silky voice and a tight band to back him up. Watching him live must be a trip. This recording is from a live session from an Austin, Texas gig. Check out his website he's got some interesting ideas about his approach to music.

Ever buy an album just because of the cover? I used to do that all the time, sometimes you get a golden egg and sometimes you get shit. In this case I got the egg. The cover reminded me of Portland, Oregon. I lived there for a year back in college and have always liked the place. Turns out this is probably Helsinki, Finland where the three Stance Brothers are from. This album is full of funky new skool jazz. Stuff that makes your head bob. Isiah Stance gets super groovy on the vibes.

And last but not least. Miles Davis is probably my all time favorite musician and this set of recordings with John Coltrane as part of the Miles Davis Quintet is seminal in the history of Jazz. They're alternating solos feed so beautifully together. Coltrane, a relative no name at the time, blew up and went his own way after this time spent developing his style with Miles. Freddie Freeloader, So What, Blue in Green, all hands down classics are included here of course. The book that came with this box includes written testaments about how this group came to be and how Davis hustled Colombia records to take him on. This six disc set has got some of the best jazz ever recorded.

It'll probably be a long time before I go out and buy CD's again but I'm pretty proud of the booty I scored today.

|我已經相當長時間沒有買音樂的欲望了。即使已經得到了itunes帳號，也不想買CD。因為只要把他們裝上我的電腦或ipod，就再也不會去碰它們。再加上要找地方放置這些CD實在傷腦筋，我的DVD收藏已經足夠麻煩。但今天我有一天的假，所以決定趁還在東京時到HMV逛逛。遊蕩在走廊成排的唱片架中尋找興趣所在的快樂悄然而至，我陷入瘋狂。第一張CD來自日本獨立音樂架，試聽完第一首之後我決定買下。不知道封套上說的是什麽，應該是來自兩支鄉村搖滾樂隊的現場演出，The Shell Rockets穿著老式摩托車騎手夾克，The Specters則穿mod。還有幾張貓王封面的唱片，但大部分是原作，全是日文。

Bloodest Saxophone.我喜歡這樂隊的名字。他們是另一支50年代舊校園時代的復古搖滾樂隊，有兩名薩克斯手，梳著漂亮發型，穿著配套。Miso Soup Boog是其中最棒的一首歌，他們還能做不錯的Tequila風格。

The BlueHerb是日本地下hip-hop音樂界最重金屬的樂隊。朋友Kenya極力推薦我聽聽，雖然不懂歌詞，但他們的確醇厚、黑暗。這張CD溶入了相當的電影元素，是當下喜愛hip-pop人士的好選擇。

  The ZooBombs. 這張硬核搖滾專輯應該是今日最佳發現。錄自多倫多的狂熱現場，他們玩的是真搖滾。介紹說他們是當今世界上最棒的現場樂團之一。有些狂妄，但聽過之後我同意這個說法。他們很快要來橫濱演出!

買這張專輯純粹是為了好玩，保守的猶太教徒唱reggae/dub?幫派成員作著正統唱腔，絲質嗓音配合壓迫感的樂隊，他們的現場一定很迷幻。這是從德克薩斯奧斯汀錄制的現場演出。到這個 網站了解他對音樂的一些有趣理念。

。這張CD充斥著funky new skool爵士樂，讓你腦袋一直搖，有Isiah Stance超級出色的電顫琴演出。 最後的心水之選。Miles Davis是我始終鐘愛的音樂家，這套張與John Coltrane合作的專輯作為Miles Davis五重奏的一部分，被譽為史上最佳爵士專輯。他們的交互solo極其合襯。當時籍籍無名的Coltrane，通過這次與Miles的合作不斷發展自己的風格，走上自己的道路。Freddie Freeloader、So What、Blue in Green的經典大作當然都有收錄。隨碟附送的書中還有手寫遺囑，介紹該組合如何成立以及Davis是如何強迫哥倫比亞唱片公司接受他。這套6CD的爵士專輯被譽為史上最佳。很長一段時間內我可能都不會再買唱片了，但還是為今天有所斬獲感到非常驕傲。

Bloodest Saxophone.我喜欢这乐队的名字。他们是另一支50年代旧校园时代的复古摇滚乐队，有两名萨克斯手，梳着漂亮发型，穿着配套。Miso Soup Boog是其中最棒的一首歌，他们还能做不错的Tequila风格。

The BlueHerb是日本地下hip-hop音乐界最重金属的乐队。朋友Kenya极力推荐我听听，虽然不懂歌词，但他们的确醇厚、黑暗。这张CD溶入了相当的电影元素，是当下喜爱hip-pop人士的好选择。

曾仅凭封面买专辑?过去我一直如此，有时捡到金蛋有时却是垃圾。这次我捡到了宝。这个封套让我想起俄勒冈的波特兰，大学时我曾在那儿住过一年，很喜欢那地方。结果发现可能是芬兰的赫尔辛基，出产了三名Stance Brothers

。这张CD充斥着funky new skool爵士乐，让你脑袋一直摇，有Isiah Stance超级出色的电颤琴演出。

最后的心水之选。Miles Davis是我始终钟爱的音乐家，这套张与John Coltrane合作的专辑作为Miles Davis五重奏的一部分，被誉为史上最佳爵士专辑。他们的交互solo极其合衬。当时籍籍无名的Coltrane，通过这次与Miles的合作不断发展自己的风格，走上自己的道路。Freddie Freeloader、So What、Blue in Green的经典大作当然都有收录。随碟附送的书中还有手写遗嘱，介绍该组合如何成立以及Davis是如何强迫哥伦比亚唱片公司接受他。这套6CD的爵士专辑被誉为史上最佳。很长一段时间内我可能都不会再买唱片了，但还是为今天有所斩获感到非常骄傲。
