The Girl Who Played with Fire 豆瓣 Goodreads
Flickan som lekte med elden
8.8 (8 个评分) 作者: [瑞典] Stieg Larsson 译者: Reg Keeland Knopf 2009 - 7
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.
But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander—the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire.
As Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander’s innocence, plunges into an investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.

Second Time Around 豆瓣
Tiger Lou
发布日期 2003年1月1日 出版发行: Black Star Foundation
这张tiger lou的首张专辑有着非常奇妙的段落结构.
第一段便是专辑的前四首歌,这四首纯粹的民谣充分回归到了Gone Drifting 7这张EP的风格."Not True, Devil Girl"做为开场,吉他的伴奏甚至有浓厚的乡土气息.这张专辑多是短小精悍的歌曲,这首歌便是如此,只有2分多钟.在一段很长的吉他solo收尾结束后,悠悠扬扬地引出了"Out On A Limb".这是一首有些悲凉的抒情小品,浅浅的吟唱随性而不加修饰.tiger lou的声线在这样纯粹的民谣歌曲中明显饱满了很多,带着很重的鼻音,不再那么干涩.接着便是同名歌曲"Second Time Around"了,这首歌稍微夹杂了些美国西部的情调,调子开始变得活泼起来,可tiger的唱腔却越加沉稳了,或者可以说,是鼻音更加重了."You can't say no to me"是第一个段落的最后一首,也是爆发前的沉寂.同第二首"Out On A Limb"一样,也是慢板的抒情小品,也是这张中我最喜欢的两首歌曲.这4首歌是导致我喜欢这张专辑的最大原因.这样的歌曲,这样的嗓音,虽然恬淡无比,其实却分外摇曳.
奇妙的第二段的打头"Born in the USA",无论是风格还是歌名都让我觉得这首歌不该属于tiger lou.而确实,这次的主角换成了一个有着尖利嗓音的不知名的女人,tiger只是作了和声.这首歌的节奏是很典型的punk,那个女人的腔调也像极了yeah yeah yeahs.两分半钟的全曲,酣畅淋漓,但接下来的感觉却突然峰回路转."Take Me To The Water",这首歌搬出了tiger lou之前一直没有用过的钢琴作为唯一的伴奏,只是在歌曲的中段反复吟唱了几句"take me to the water",歌曲的结束无声无息.就好似经历了一晚"Born in the USA"的忘情疯狂后,在凌晨刚破晓时却回到了冷冰冰的现实世界.我的脑海里有这样一副场景:tiger lou离开了那个女人,和那个曾经喧闹的房间,就如歌名一般,走到湖边,被一团团灰蒙蒙的晨雾包围,眼神呆滞,神情淡漠.
我相信这是一张有着故事情节的奇妙的专辑.

[文字转自電阻]1996年秋天傑杰強森(Jay-jay Johanson)發表他的首張個人專輯《Whiskey》,蒼白孱弱的形象、陰鬱纖細的歌聲與冷調卻異常催情的曲風深植人心。十年後的今天他已完成個人第六張錄音室大碟《The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known》,傑杰強森前兩張作品毫不掩飾他對舞曲迷戀。新作《The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known》回到他早期的創作路線,多愁善感、自艾自憐的情緒全反應在他孤獨的低吟淺唱之中。最新專輯預計收錄11首作品,除了傑杰強森始終如一的動人歌聲外,此次更著重於取樣與合聲的運用。目前傑杰強森在他Myspace空間公開的首波主打單曲,以中國大陸市井小民的生活為拍攝背景,會中文的我們更能體會其中的另類幽默。

8.3 (14 个评分) Jay-Jay Johanson 类型: 电子
发布日期 2008年1月1日 出版发行: EMI Music
Having finished “The Long Term Tour”, Jay-Jay started working on the next album. Probably, he was much inspired by his child's birth... “Self-Portrait” contains as much Jay-Jay’s personal feelings as possible for an artists revealing his soul to the audience. The album promises to surprise even the most devoted fans. This work is a compilation of all experience Jay-Jay has obtained over these years. It is a musical biography of the vulnerable, unconventional man who brought romance and decadence back to music.
Let's Away 豆瓣
7.7 (6 个评分) Lampshade
发布日期 2006年1月1日 出版发行: Glitterhouse Records
"Let’s Away" : New light, drifting and beautifully twisted album from Danish / Swedish Lampshade.
'Let’s Away' – The second album from Lampshade – came to being under rather unique circumstances. The band Lampshade stradles a couple different borders both by way of nationality and by style of music. Band members come from Denmark and Sweden, there's men and women, there's a mix of pop and arty pop.
The largest part of the songs on the album are written by the charismatic lead singer Rebekkamaria, and the sound of the album was born in the crossing of the band being partial to grandiose Nordic sound, singer/songwriter music and Swedish pop music – an inspiration the two new guitarists carry with them from their native country. In this way the music stretch from light and obliging melodies to rhythmically founded pop songs and grandiose beautifully noisy explosions of sound. The title of the album is inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and reflects the narrative in the lyrical universe that involves English, Danish and Swedish.
One of the guest-acts on the album is the American singer/songwriter Damien Jurado, who has released a great number of albums on SUB POP and Secretly Canadian. The album is recorded at Lydkraft Studiet in Denmark and mastered by John Golden (Sonic Youth etc.) in California.
It's got some of the nordic sound we've come to expect from artists like Bjork or The Sundays and some of the pop of Sweden. It's a grand combination. Add to that the fact that the new record, Let's Away.
Because Trees Can Fly 豆瓣
7.6 (16 个评分) Lampshade
发布日期 2003年1月1日 出版发行: Glitterhouse
北欧是偏远的,却是浮想联翩的地方。尤其是冬天,很容易自觉的想起那里,极圈外的阳光明亮又清晰,还意外的带着点暖暖的香味,穿厚厚的毛领外套,裹着厚厚的帽子围巾,就连鞋都是厚厚的,踩在乾硬的灰色水泥地上,不由的感觉到一种力度的存在。
这样散步是有格调的,总觉得需要点音乐陪衬才够完美,所以我偶然结识了Lampshade。这是支由丹麦人和瑞典人一起组成的乐队,主唱叫Rebekkamaria,是我最喜欢的那种有特色的女声主唱,不过Lampshade俘虏我的地方,也是最可贵的是它不像以前听的那种清新的瑞典音乐那么甜腻感伤,它不安分,充满节奏感,很新颖,令人严重好奇。
Lampshade在正式发行专辑前已经出过单曲EP,令他们成名的正是2001年的EP专辑Adorable Void,他们的专辑:2003年的Because Trees Can Fly和2006年的Let's Away都由Glitterhouse Records发行。尽管说我更喜欢03年那张Because Trees Can Fly的封面,我还是更欣赏06年新专辑Let’s Away的音乐,尽管Because Trees Can Fly已经足够优秀。像我上面说的一样,Let’s Away是适合在路上听的,可能因为它本身就是乐队在不断行进,不断旅行的过程里创作出来的,带着公路生活的苍凉浪漫和旅途中人的孤独。经过三年蛰伏,Lampshade的Let’s Away成熟了许多,感觉比Because Trees Can Fly更容易让人接受,值得一提,专辑中的歌不但有英语,还有瑞典语和丹麦语,不同的语言Rebekkamaria演绎的感觉也不同,英语的歌像Come Closer,New Legs,Joy,We'll Be Fine就同Indie感觉比较接近,而Disse Fugle,Fjaeril则偏向于北欧另类音乐,我自己比较喜欢的有Come Closer,New Legs,In The Woods,Fjariel,Feather Of Lead,Disse Fugle等。
不过有点可惜Lampshade不是那种令人浮想联翩的音乐,Lampshade做的太完美,太疏离,不容易勾动人的情感,甚至觉得有距离感。但我觉得Lampshade属于深冬时节,或许是音符中流淌的寒气而不是音乐本身令人冷了起

有点沙哑的甜美女声,深沉婉转的男声合音,简单悦耳的吉他噪音,瑞典制造。
