8.7 (6 个评分) The Raveonettes 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2011年12月15日 出版发行: The Raveonettes
The collection covers b-side and rare material spanning Whip It On, Chain Gang of Love, Pretty in Black and Lust Lust Lust. The release was limited to 500 CD and 500 double 180 gram LP.

Despite the song never being included on an album singer Sune Rose Wagner stated "it has since become our biggest selling song ever with appearances in countless movies, commercials, etc."
Covers released as b-sides or bonus tracks from the period this compilation spans are not included. Specifically Eddie Cochran's C'mon Everybody, Hank Williams' I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, and Buddy Holly's Everyday.
The album art contains various photographs and a poster by contemporary artist and photographer Todd Hido.[5] Hido previously worked with The Raveonettes when he directed the video for the Raven in the Grave single Apparitions.

SuperDay
发布日期 2008年4月8日 出版发行: 瑞成贸易有限公司
独立乐队Superday继2005年<<超级大日子>>后,推出全新专辑<<超级岁月>>。全新创作概念,关於我们80年代出生、90年代成长这代人的一点一滴,没有了初出茅庐的希冀,增添了成长的无奈。由龙虎门到新著龙虎门、由红白机到 Xbox360、由旧区到大型商场、由杂货店到超级市场…可有想过哪里是下一站?
<<超级岁月>>里带出了90 年代至今,社会过於急速发展的遗憾,由儿时玩意、电玩游戏、本地漫画、本地足球、超级市场袭断、扭曲的消费文化,到近期的旧区重建和保育,都啟发著我们这一代人。个中的感受和看法,我们以简单有趣的故事说出来,音乐风格以pop-punk为主调,亦作了一些新尝试。
Superday於 2002年5月组成,成员几经变动,约于2004年成员固定为三男一女的阵容,三位男成员主要负责鼓、结他和低音结他,而女成员则负责主唱。曲风以简单的 pop-punk再加上可爱的女声主唱为主,亦有一些清新的indie rock作品。歌曲较著重於旋律和歌词,歌词多以生活迭事或有趣故事来带出我们的讯息。没有愤世嫉俗的叫喊,只有生活的点滴,希望听者得到共鸣,就算听不到歌曲中的讯息,也希望引你们发笑,让你知道愤怒原来可以这么可爱。
风格可以算是 cutie pop 与punk pop之混合,因为两者都是成员喜爱的音乐风格,受美国乐队 Green Day影响最大,包括其爽快的节奏,悦耳的流行曲旋律,还有简单而年轻率性的歌词…还有SUM41、BLINK182等乐队。另一方面,香港90年代初的班霸独立乐队AMK对Superday的音乐态度和歌词表达手法,影响亦十分大,歌曲简单直接,讲的故事可爱、可笑,或许可以令人有另一番领会…
Superday大事典:
04年参与向AMK致敬的合辑,重玩了<巴士奇遇结良缘>。
05年11月推出首张专辑 <<超级大日子>>
08年04月推出全新专辑 <<超级岁月>>
再见!维多利亚 豆瓣
7.9 (33 个评分) 基诺 / Chinos 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2008年4月10日 出版发行: 先生小姐唱片
来自武汉的基诺乐队可能是目前中国地区最与众不同的年轻乐队。
受英国音乐影响颇深的基诺乐队在跳脱英国音乐表面框架的同时,试图将自身的特点融合入他们所创造的音乐之中,以产生不同于别人的独特气质。首张专辑《再见!维多利亚》是他们首次正式发表自己的作品,这张拥有11首曲目的完整专辑所要表现的并非狂妄的信心与坚强的斗志,而是在试图挥手作别,与往日的自己以及相伴自己的那些美好事物。没有愤世嫉俗,没有革命野心,基诺乐队试图展现的,只是建筑在自身独特世界观之上略带忧郁的情绪。

Anna Calvi 豆瓣
8.4 (5 个评分) Anna Calvi 类型: 摇滚
出版发行: Domino
Co-produced by Rob Ellis and recorded in London and France, Anna Calvi’s debut is an astonishing distillation of her talents as a songwriter, singer and guitar player. Haunted by the timeless sounds of Nina Simone and Maria Callas, as well as the classical romanticism of Ravel and Debussy, and the rock innovations of Jimi Hendrix and Captain Beefheart, the record plays like a fever dream of Wong Kar Wei imagery, being both mysterious and decadent, nostalgic and forward looking.
As in life, the record is one of two halves. Suffused with darkness, yet still hopeful, obsessed by a certain kind of David Lynchian surrealism, but still grounded in the struggles of a life lived. It’s an album that sounds consumed in sensuality and eroticism, but which never feels explicit or obviously sexual. In Anna’s dream world nothing feels black and white, just as it should be.
Adopting an intimate backing band consisting of Mally Harpaz on guitar, harmonium and percussion, and Daniel Maiden-Wood on drums for her live shows, Anna has managed to encapsulate all the drama and emotion of a flamenco dance into her performances. The art of flamenco has consequently had a massive impact on Anna’s fierce, upfront stage persona, and the outfits she and her band choose to perform in, the visual element of Anna’s art being of such huge importance to her.
'Anna Calvi' is a remarkable album from a woman who has more than justified the support of such luminaries as Brian Eno and Nick Cave, which as well as feeling like a fully formed piece of art in it’s own right, also serves as an enthralling insight into what may lay ahead for Anna in the future.
Freedom Run 豆瓣
The Rifles
发布日期 2011年10月11日 出版发行: Nettwerk Records
2011 release, the long awaited and much anticipated third album from the British Alt-Rock band. Freedom Run bristles with a newly found energy, confidence and maturity. Recorded at Paul Weller's studio, Black Barn, and produced by the legendary Chris Potter (who has guided such luminaries as The Clash, The Stones and The Verve), the album has a fresh revitalized sound, loaded with inspirational tracks that range from the light and fun Phil Spector tinged pop symphonies through to the raucous soul-inflected heartfelt pop-rock that has dominated The Rifles' back catalog and has given them a fanbase that continues to sell-out venues wherever they play. Freedom Run further enhances the reputation of one of the most exciting, enduring and diverse London bands of the last 10 years. The Rifles have proudly proven to both fans and critics that they're not only here to stay, but are destined to achieve greatness.
