法國導演 Claude Lelouch 最有名的長片可能是 “a Man and a Woman” (男歡女愛) [1966], 不過最多人討論的短片則相信非 “C’était un Rendez Vous” [1976] 莫屬~ 有人清醒地說這裡一鏡直落毫無修飾的拍法是 cinéma vérité 的示範作, 也有人選擇沉醉在這種通常只有在電玩世界才能享受的極速快感~ 短片首次放映後, 導演更一度被警方拘捕問話, . . . → Read More: 哇你咁揸車都得?]]> Click here to view the embedded video.

久別三年, 冰島天后 Björk 正式回歸~ 新唱片 “Volta” 的封面設計依然古怪另類, 音樂上又有新鮮搞作~ 首張細碟 “Earth Intruders” 找來 hip-hop 監製 Timbaland 和 Danja 合作, 又有剛果樂團 Konono No.1 帶來只此一家的電子 Likembé 琴音, 得出一首極富原始氣息的熱鬧歌曲~ 說實在, Björk 很久未有過一首如此直接, 如此搶耳, 讓她盡情高呼大嚷的作品了~

歌曲的MV執導者正是法國動畫大師 Michel Ocelot, 就是以 “Kirikou and the Sorceress” (嘰哩咕歷險記) [1998] 成名那位, 今年電影節也曾播過他那部政治正確得幾乎過分的新作 “Azur and Asmar” (一千零二夜) [2006]~ “Earth Intruders” 的MV沒有錯過那分土著風味, 滿佈導演招牌2D平面設計的土人舞蹈剪影和自然風貌~ . . . → Read More: Björk – Earth Intruders]]>

Björk – Earth Intruders

We are the earth intruders, we are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches, a-haaaaaa!

Turmoil! Carnage!

Here come the earth intruders, we are the paratroopers
The beat of sharpshooters, comes straight from voodoo

With our feet thumbing, with our feet marching
Grinding the skeptics into the soil

Shower of goodness coming to end the doubt pouring over
Shower of goodness coming to end

We are the earth intruders, we are the sharpshooters
Flock of parachuters, necessary voodoo

I have guided my bones through some voltage
And love them still, and love them too

Metallic, carnage, furiousity, feel the speed!

We are the earth intruders, we are the sharpshooters,
Flock of parachutersm necessary voodoo

There is turmoil out there, carnage! Rambling!
What is to do but dig, dig bones out of earth

Mud graves, timber, morbid trenches

Here come the earth intruders, there’ll be no resistance
We are the cannoneers, necessary voodoo

And the beast with many heads and arms rolling
Steamroller!

We are the earth intruders, we are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

Forgive this tribe!

We are the earth intruders, we are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

We are the earth intruders
A-haaaaa!

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Marching!

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Marching!

March, march, march

We are the earth intruders, muddy with twigs and branches
Marching voodoo!

Xiu Xiu – Pox

you look so ready to kill me
with your bosses saw
Mendocino, Klamath, Siskiyou, Shasta
a wasp will find its way into your
pointless life
its stinger will sting you away
this where I live
dripping and marked from your paint
Jesus is wondering if even He can love you
oh this is where I live
a pox upon your house
(a nuthatch will never bow)
(a crossbill will never bow)
will you turn me to money?
will I shat my poison egg in your mouth?
signed with my conifer blood
this plastic coffin always in the shade of
your sickening daughters and
your idiotic hobbler wife
this is where I live
community college is waiting for them

自從數年前聽過 M. Ward 的 “Transfiguration of Vincent” 大碟後, 一直大力推荐這位很有懷舊味的年青唱作人~ 今年, M. Ward 推出了新大碟 “Post-War”, 當中選作主打單曲的就是這首早加在音樂盒的 “Chinese Translation”~

想不到這首歌還製作了個有趣的 MV, 一派古典中國味道的動畫, 下面還搞鬼地加進了中文歌詞翻譯, 不過譯版的準確程度只屬網上翻譯機的質素, 倒得出一些似通非通的奇怪文字~

M. Ward – Chinese Translation

I sailed a wild, wild sea climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man beneath a weeping willow tree
he said now if you got some questions go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief, so you’ll have to pick just three

and I said, what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
and if life is really as short as they say, then why is the night so long?
and then the sun went down, and he sang for me this song

see I once was a young fool like you,
afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do
so I played an escapade just like you, I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea, climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man he sat beneath a sapling tree
he said now if you got some questions go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief, so you’ll have to pick just three

and I said, what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
and if life is really as short as they say, then why is the night so long?
and then the sun went down, and he played for me this song
