听了半天Pete Doherty的新专辑，写几句。

Pete Doherty – Grace/Wasteland

当初看到这个长得并不怎么好看的英国人是在一期NME的封面上，那会儿我还不知道他是谁，是我第一次买NME这种杂志，也完全是为了给更喜欢这种音乐的人看。就在那天晚上，BBC3台放了他的纪录片，概括的说吧，一个20多岁的瘾君子，Kate Moss的男友，在摇滚乐上无以伦比的天赋，一个介于人和神之间家伙，没有摆脱青少年的那种愤怒的人，一个不一般的音乐人——唱歌唱得怪、吉他技术一般的小怪物。

Grace/Wasteland是他自己的第一张个人专辑，当初下载了，就没好好听。最近这两天又拿起来，慢慢的听了几遍。倾向于温和和平静了，这是给我最大的感觉。之前他在Libertines亦或者是Babyshambles的那种让人有点厌恶的劲儿完全消失了，声音也不再那么萎靡，如果说之前在Band里他的歌走得都是lo-fi路线，那么现在他的作品都跟精心打磨过一样。声音更认真了一些，还有他对各种乐器的驾驭，信手拈来的各种曲风和旋律，完全摆脱了Libertines和Babyshamble的影子。一个全新的小怪物。整张专辑给人感觉很像6、70年代的作品，有点像Amy Winehouse，有摇滚的各种beat，但是混着钢琴和吉他的配合，听起来很舒服。很符合这感觉的就是那首“1939 Returning”了，似乎是对自己的乐坛生活的一种解答？歌词直白了但是反而更容易让别人知道他到底在想的是什么。当然最符合他自己的还是那首最先放出来的Single-“Last of the English Roses”。

Last of the English Roses – Pete Doherty

总的来说，这是一张有些另类的专辑，也许2009年选出英国十大唱片，有他的一个位置。不管你是不是承认他的音乐，至少你得承认他不再想当那个聚光灯下那个瘾君子了。

NERD的最新专辑Seeing Sounds果然大受好评，专辑中不论是‘time for acktion’－ 他们擅长的曲风，又或者是很英伦风格的‘Sooner or Later’（或者是六十年代的Soul？），都很好。Rock Band，没错。

NERD – Sooner or Later Lyrics

sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down)
crashing down (crashing down)
when everyones around
I bet you would of paid up all your cash down (your cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)
when everyone knows now

so your sad
about the moment
you lost your love (damn)
you couldn’t see her leaving (you were gay)
and that sucks don’t it
cause god yanked the rug
and holding your heart will not help you breathe

sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down)
crashing down (crashing down)
when everyones around
I bet you would of paid up all your cash down (your cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)
when everyone knows now

it all comes crashing

down
it’s over leave it
*repeat x4*

so your sad
and you should own it
that you fucked up (damn)
you thought that you were the team (you were gay)
and now your opponent
he wears your gloves
a nightmare just ate up your dreams

sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down)
crashing down (crashing down)
when everyones around
I bet you would of paid up all your cash down (your cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)
when everyone knows now

it all comes crashing

down
it’s over leave it
*repeat x4*

so your sad
could have had so much done
you blew it off
your chances passing you by (you were gay)
time waits for no one
and it costs for a loss
a cosmic joke
should you laugh or cry

sooner or later it all comes crashing down (crashing down)
crashing down (crashing down)
when everyones around
I bet you would of paid up all your cash down (your cash down)
and not make a sound (to make a sound)
when everyone knows now

it all comes crashing

down
it’s over, leave it
*repeat x4*

(nooooo?)
it’s over, leave it
*repeat x6*

down
it’s over, leave it
*repeat x12*

it’s over leave it
*repeat x4*
