其实早就出炉了但一直没发博。给《通俗歌曲》的年度榜单投了票点评了十多张,不过具体内容暂不能透露。然后又给无解网的年度榜单投票。我投了以下7张:
Kaputt by Destroyer
Looping State of Mind by The Field
Hoping for the Invisible to Ignite by Farewell Poetry
The North Green Down by Dakota Suite & Emanuele Errante
Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming by M83
Music for Confluence by Peter Broderick
Nostalgia for the Absolute by Arms & Sleepers
最终Destroyer、The Field、M83入选。我没投Atlas Sound,倒也入选了。好像无解不喜欢器乐那口,Dakota Suite & Emanuele Errante是上半年亮点,Farewell Poetry是下半年听到的亮点,真的很亮。
通常榜单都是倒序的,我也不倒序了,因为今年最大亮点是Destroyer,毫无悬念。看看我的last.fm吧,听Dan Bejar相关乐队次数远远超过第二名Broken Social Scene。今年大概有一半时间都在听他。把他以前的专辑能弄到的基本都弄来听。因为Dan Bejar复了太多古,从80年代到现在,所以,能对各个层次听众的胃口。哎呀,他网站也很有意思。
翻翻2009年的年度最佳再看看今年的,Destroyer、Blueneck、Mountains、Atlas Sound,好像还是这些人。惯性使然吧。Peter Broderick也频繁出现,今年他出了好几张,《Mort-Aux+Vaches》只是代表之一。他,以及Beirut、M83都是常客。新鲜货比如Farewell Poetry和Nicolas Jaar。Nicolas Jaar是90后啊,真是令人难以置信。A Winged Victory For The Sullen其实都是属于惯性的,厂牌惯性。今年不少喜欢的乐队发新专辑,但是听的不多,精力全集中在Destroyer上面,还有就是听旧碟,所以很多新专辑都不知道。The Antlers、TV on the Radio,包括Beirut、M83,以前这些我提到比较多的乐队,好像都兴趣没以前大。Beirut还是在循环老歌。还有Iron & Wine,甚至Radiohead,到了年底差点忘记Radiohead今年发过新专辑。几个常规的独立音乐网站因为越来越主流、口味越来越差而叫人心烦意乱。今年却是TSB排名靠前专辑我听的最多的一次。这说明了什么呢?但是居然有人说我电。是啊,很电,喜欢死the field了。以前他口碑好的时候我觉得奇怪,今年就嫌他获得的好评不够多。
