这张专辑叫《夜郎》
是临时起意
因为不知道给这张专辑定啥名字
大概觉得自己像个夜郎国里的人吧
总觉得明天会更好 .....
自己惯常熬夜工作
喜欢空荡寂静的深夜闲暇
这名副其实的“夜郎”也
大半年来自己状态很差
尤其是制作自己十几年甚至二十年前的歌
状态更加难找
因此给自己找了个借口 吾丧我
说不上为什么
也不想说为什么
总能总结出几个为什么
总之此刻的处境状态最后大都是自己咎由
所幸每每夜郎自大的时候
偶尔会在音符动静里迸现出点点感动
感知感受自己活着的温度和热情
那就这样吧先
继续积攒勇气和欢乐
继续记录确认当下的存在
这两年我真正学会了喝酒
也新找到了“醉”当老师
........
急于安详 结局慌张
对于自己 介意的只有你自己
眼前狠硬心肠结束这没日没夜的倦怠状态
就暂时接受不能自主良莠不齐吧
反正夜郎之歌也得尘埃落定
我继续留下蹩脚的印记 刻意的多留
之前所说的和现下所说的：
一切已经结束
一切才刚刚开始
一切如常
一切如常般无常
或者说
一切无常
一切无常般如常
感谢生活
感谢生命

When a spirit crosses over to the next life, what’s left behind on this planet is the very thing that person built for the ones who survive them. In this song, an elder leaves the side of a young man for the next life through a traumatic and painful death, and ‘Tower’ is the earthly embodiment of her spirit.——Chris Garneau
这是克里斯加诺对于新歌TOWER的描述，当生命消逝，“TOWER”是留下来的精神。 2018年，克里斯加诺即将发行他的第四张正式专辑YOURS。此前加诺一共发行了三张专辑和一张EP，包括Music for Tourists LP (2006), C-Sides EP (2007), El Radio LP (2009) and Winter Games LP (2013)，都获得了不小的成功，并分别在北美、欧洲、日本、韩国和中国多年巡回演出。这首TOWER也是加诺YOURS这张专辑在中国的第一首先行单曲，也邀请到了法国的民谣乐队Morgane Imbeaud参与了这首歌的和声录制。

【野蓮出庄序】
菸草沒落，人出庄。
2000年代中我在嘉義的海產攤初遇破布子炒水蓮、山蘇又蒸魚，記憶被撞開了裂縫。除了靜素躺在飯桌上與母親相對眼，沒想到對面烏尚可如此靈活！更納悶：我們不常吃的野蓮，何以出庄且易名？困惑中，我夾一顆對面烏入嘴，兒時的澀苦在舌根處轉甘甜，令我不禁揣想：難道離家夠久、吃苦夠多，才得品嚐對面烏？
那滋味引我再度回家。
我回返母親獨自採收、製作對面烏，以及每餐一碟的場景，試圖探究她的心境。我跟著她走出除草後的第一期稻田，腰夾的臉盆上擠滿挑好的野菜。她疲憊，但幾絲愜意流露。我領會水田的賞賜，不再排斥連吃一週斛菜或冇筒梗炒黃豆醬。七月半，我安靜看她備料，蒸芋頭粄，不再質疑家裡人愈少、粄卻愈厚，明瞭那是對外出子女的召喚與祝福。年三十下午，我忍住玩興，盯著屋後的大鋁鍋，乖乖掌火。母親在灶下忙進忙出，姊姊們已催緊手腳，仍不免招念。我面前這一鍋大封，不只是我對食物的至高期待，更是家族團聚的圓心，以及長媳的年終考評。我不能失手啊！必須把火餵好、餵穩。
社造牽線，去阿里山拜訪鄒族，主人留客午飯。村長端出我本以為客家地道的樹豆湯，食物地域觀隨被破解，提醒我穿越鄉愁之必要。我拜會本土種黃豆的復育者，探訪幾位回鄉開設豆腐坊的朋友。他們難忘豆腐郎吆喝，以及植物蛋白質之於社區的重要；他們倡議的保種運動，連接了母親掛曬在窗櫺上的各種蔬果種子。幾位原住民採集文化的研究者解開我的野菜邊界，放打烏子流浪。期間，美濃愛鄉協進會的朋友呼應創作計畫，廣泛訪談，證實了食物傳統的堅韌延續力。他們關注後菸草時代，農民尋找另類經濟作物的歷程，理解野蓮產業的在地意義，及其全球化機會與困境。
食物的部首是「女」--她們是食物的主要採集者、製作者、保存者與教育者。但面帕粄連繫父親：考試、繳菸得意，他帶去粄仔店；稿賞工人，叫我去包回來。凡此，面帕粄總造成米食最高級感。工作至嘉義，必吃火雞肉飯；看各家以自製雞油淋飯，亦予我同樣印象。
生祥讀詞，聯想日本的「B級美食」比賽，主角是非主流的鄉土菜肴。我們的食物場景若有配樂，亦當是在地流行音樂：流動攤車的叫賣聲與隨取音樂、婚宴場上的中西混種音樂，以及李文古笑科劇、金光布袋戲、神明生日晚會中的戲仿音樂等等，生祥總稱為「B級音樂」。
那麼，就請乘著B級音樂，聽我們唱這些食物與人的流浪故事。

The album was conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aaron Dessner of The National was isolating and quarantining with his family, when Swift had approached him in late April to write some songs remotely together. 11 songs were written with Dessner over the next few months, while the others were written with Jack Antonoff, William Bowery and Bon Iver. "I thought it would take a while for song ideas to come and I had no expectations as far as what we could accomplish remotely," Dessner wrote in his tweet, "But a few hours after sharing music, my phone lit up with a voice memo from Taylor of a fully written song -- the momentum never really stopped."
The album's release was announced by Swift on her social media accounts hours before its midnight, July 24, 2020, launch. It follows her seventh studio albumLover, released almost a year prior. The album has eight deluxe CDs and vinyls that are only available for a week for the physical copies, all of which have different covers and photos.
An accompanying music videofor the lead single "Cardigan" will be released along with the album.

这张以西班牙语命名的精选集，英文名大概应该是“More Big Folk Hits“。但是这张精选集里收录的内容和《More Big Folk Hits》专辑里面大不相同。同样是70年代末FA唱片公司发行的LP之一。

六十年代美国民谣团体The Brothers Four最为国人所熟悉的歌应该就是Try to Remember，这是一首发表于1965年的名副其实的“老”歌。《玻璃之城》里，Try to Remember一遍一遍的响起，很多人从这里认识了它。而这首歌的特别之处也在于，即使是初听也会有似曾相识的感觉。或许是因为歌唱的就是回忆吧

Monterey is The Milk Carton Kids’ third album and the follow-up to their 2013 breakthrough The Ash & Clay. The two years since have been significant ones for the band, with recognition including a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Folk Album and winning Group of the Year at the 2014 Americana Music Awards. Their standout performances and interviews in the Coen Brothers’ and T Bone Burnett’s concert documentary “Another Day/Another Time” brought the duo its widest audience yet, and their 55-city North American tour last Spring sold out months in advance.
This time around, Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan wrote and recorded Monterey not in studios but on stages - those concert halls, churches, and theaters across North America that have always coaxed the band’s most uninhibited expressions. Their methodology in making Monterey allowed The Milk Carton Kids, finally, to perform for the record with the same fearlessness and spontaneity usually only achieved in live concert. As writers, the two have merged so singularly that friends and family can no longer tell who has written which song. As singers on Monterey, their acclaimed harmonies move farther apart, so that the quirks and kinks of two individual identities emerge, all the while remaining lush and soaring, their beauty even more apparent for the showing of their scars.
Thematically, Monterey takes us on a road trip across a dream - perhaps a nightmare - through an America of blood and fire that is at once recognizably the land of our forefathers, and the product of our own making. While some of the questions asked on Monterey are political, increasingly the songs are purely personal, the narrator stopped along the road wondering aloud how he got there as in the lilting title track where the question becomes, “Monterey, how can I say I’ll always stay then slip away?”
This may be the central question of Monterey, this album forged literally and metaphorically “on the road”, which seems to ask how we can resolve the contradiction between the lightness of our footprint as we pass through, and the weight of those memories gathering behind us in the rearview mirror. Monterey asks these questions with grace, beauty and a sly humor.
