Marvel's upcoming sci-fi movie bringing a whole new meaning to "Space Jam."
Keeping the hype machine rolling for Marvel's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy flick, writer/director James Gunn gave fans a little peek at the songs included on the movie's uniquely retro soundtrack. Posting on Facebook Tuesday, Gunn first released the image (shown) that will grace the cover of the official soundtrack before later announcing the official track list.
Fans that have watched the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers already know that one of Peter Quill's (Chris Pratt) most cherished items is his old school Sony Walkman and a mix tape of songs he made before being taken into space as a child. According to Gunn, the track list for the soundtrack includes:
Blue Swede - "Hooked on a Feeling"
Raspberries - "Go All the Way"
Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit in the Sky"
David Bowie - "Moonage Daydream"
Elvin Bishop - "Fooled Around and Fell in Love"
10cc - "I'm Not in Love"
Jackson 5 - "I Want You Back"
Redbone - "Come and Get Your Love"
The Runaways - "Cherry Bomb"
Rupert Holmes - "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"
The Five Stairsteps - "O-O-H Child"
Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
When asked about the songs included in the movie and the soundtrack, Gunn stated, "Marvel was kind enough to shell out for every single song I requested." Also, he let fans know that the songs which made it onto the soundtrack aren't all the songs he used during filming, writing:
"NOTE this is not the entirety of the Mixed Tape that Peter Quill listens to, the one that I gave to Chris Pratt that he listened to endlessly before the movie started. That is a longer list, that includes these songs, among others. I'll release that full list closer to the release of them film."
Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters nationwide on Friday, August 1st. The official soundtrack is scheduled to release earlier that week on Tuesday, July 29th

Full title - There Is Nothing Left To Lose. Australian edition of their third album, originally released in 1999, includes one bonus track, 'Fraternity'. 12 tracks in all including their hit singles, 'Learn To Fly' & 'Next Year'. BMG.

★美國《搖滾名人殿堂》和英國《音樂名人堂》的至尊榮耀 搖滾傳奇平克佛洛伊德Pink Floyd，1977年第十張錄音室專輯
★英國流行專輯榜No.2，全美流行專輯榜No.3，一張呈現1970年代後期英國政治與社會現象的概念專輯
「平克佛洛伊德Pink Floyd」整合迷幻和太空搖滾，將實驗、敘事性豐富的前衛搖滾，以及運用哲學性的詞藻，摸索出前衛搖滾的未來，進而造就了流行音樂史上最偉大的傳奇，每一個世代的樂迷不斷地從他們的音樂作品中，體驗到跨越時空的聽覺驚喜；每一個世代的樂團持續在他們的音樂作品中，思考著搖滾樂所能創造的想像空間與情感共鳴。自1967年組隊以來至2014年底的最後一張專輯《The Endless River》，47年以來，平克佛洛伊德歷年專輯的全球累積銷售量超過二億張，其中加總停留美國告示牌881週的傳世經典《The Dark Side Of The Moon》、史上最偉大的概念專輯《The Wall》，都是影響後輩的膜拜聖碟。分別入籍美國《搖滾名人殿堂》和英國《音樂名人堂》的至尊榮耀、滾石雜誌和VH1頻道的《史上百組經典藝人》、Q雜誌《史上最偉大的樂團》名單，留給後世無數搖滾樂迷，一篇跨越半世紀，定義完美經典的搖滾史記。
平克佛洛伊德第10張專輯《Animals》，深受英國作家喬治歐威爾、反烏托邦的政治寓言小說【動物農莊Animal Farm】的啟發，Roger Waters在歌曲中以不同的動物性格，代表人類社會中的不同階層，透過歌曲中描述動物社會的統治與對抗情形、來抨擊當時英國的社會問題與政治局勢。除了政治意涵，專輯中也向當時的龐克搖滾運動嗆聲: 專輯中除了〈Dogs〉是Roger Waters與David Gilmour所合寫，其它歌曲都是Roger Waters獨自創作。以兩部曲方式呈現的〈Pigs On The Wing〉是一首散發民謠氣息的搖滾曲，Roger在這首歌曲中表達了對當時愛人的深情，相對於專輯中其它歌曲較為黑暗的主題氛圍，這首歌在表達私情之餘，也帶來一絲希望。

《金桔希子》是落日飛車沈寂五年後的新作品，在成員的更迭後，重新探索新的曲風，從以往六零年代的車庫搖滾晃入了七零年代的成人抒情，但仍然不改飛車輕鬆愜意，浪漫中又帶著戲謔的情境氛圍。

Happily colliding with the new craze for a back to basics aesthetic, the Kills rough-edged, blues-rooted sound got an abnormally unanimous thumbs-up from the UK’s press in particular. Said NME: “Anyone with a love of The Velvet Underground, Patti Smith and ill-rock in general will find plenty to gorge on here. In a world over-run with careerists, The Kills’ desire to be outsiders means there’s a glow to their dischord that you’d do well to bathe in.” Mojo hailed it as “a testament to the unstoppability and violence of human desire,” while quality nationals like The Times and The Observer heaped further praises thereon.
Always into updating The Velvet Underground’s idea of a rock band encompassing all areas of Art and Life – the total experience – they toured incessantly, including a memorable support slot with Primal Scream, for 18 months making the most of the freedom that their micro-operation afforded.
In early 2004, the hangover wore off, and they soon set themselves a target of completing their second album by the end of June. To that end, they withdrew from the distractions of London, repairing for a month to sleepy Benton Harbour, Michigan.
“It’s a total ghost town,” says Alison, “about an hour and a half from Chicago. There’s nothing there at all. These kids there have bought a huge abandoned building on Main Street, and done it out with an amazing recording studio.”
Jamie: “We took all this stuff with us – mini-discs of us talking, guitar riffs, thousands of little tiny bits of paper, typewriters, paint and art books and journals from the past year. To start with, we weren’t thinking about songs, we were just talking about all the things that inspired us over the last months. We spent the first few days just looking at those, talking, getting into the right psyche with it. It was the perfect place to get away from it all. You’d walk and not see any glass for ten minutes. Everything was boarded up, like a dead world, then we’d go back into our HQ of art and music and ideas.”
Alison: “We wrote the whole record in two and a half weeks, then we took a train to Chicago, then got a plane the same day to New York. Two days later, we started recording at Sear Sound in Midtown, two weeks, day and night. It’s this brilliant, weird place run by an old couple, who started out in the ’50s making soundtracks for porn movies. We gave ourselves no time to sit back and think what we were doing.” As Jamie elaborates, “People have got so obsessed with the whistles and the bells that they’ve forgotten what they’re calling for. It’s about setting mics up and getting a good natural sound and that’s what we tried to work with”.
“The day after we finished recording, we mixed it for a few days. Then we had a two-day break, then we mastered. Then we didn’t listen to it at all for two weeks, went out and became more human again, spoke to people, saw New York, and then we came home. In all we had three months away. We went from no songs to a finished record in 47 days.”
Called ‘No Wow’, it is if anything a more minimal record even than their debut. “Last time,” recalls Jamie, “everyone said about the album that it was just skin and bone, that there was no fat on it. With this one, we wanted to get rid of the skin and bone and get right to the heart. Every song is just a little pumping heart.” The title itself is derived from a “heart racing, goose flesh, tears in our eyes conversation about what we were going to do with this band”, the duo had on the day Alison relocated to London four years ago. Discussing New York in the late 60’s, Pop Art, the Beat poets, the emergence of both punk and disco, in contrast to today’s desperate concerns about “being down to earth”, they reached the same conclusion. There was just “no wow” anymore….
Early on, he’d intended to make the record radically different by writing and playing all his parts on a Moog keyboard, which didn’t get repaired in time for Benton Harbour. He did, however, buy a cheap old pre-programmable drum machine, which you can hear ticking and thumping away on forthcoming single, ‘The Good Ones’ and several others, aiming as he was “for the low end of Giorgio Moroder”.
Where the ’60s pop art explosion fired them last time out, ‘No Wow’ is, for its creators, a tracing of the lineage between CBGB’s and Studio 54, exploring the turbulent years in New York when punk turned into disco. Hence, the drum machine. Sound-wise, guitar reverb was kept to a minimum. Jamie: “We wanted everything right there in the speakers, dry and bare.” A lot of time was spent experimenting with guitar sounds and tunings. The axe weirdness of ‘Sweet Cloud’ comes not from a common-or-garden FX pedal, but a Capo clip, with cigarettes wedged under the strings to tune them down.
Lyrical inspiration came from all over the place. ‘The Good Ones’, the first single from the album, tells a familiar tale. Adapted from a Kills diary entry, the song catalogues the craving for and consequent desperate pursuit of that elusive good time. One song is about a day they spent on HMS Intrepid. Others were put together almost like collages of words that they’d cut out from magazines and letters – part of the whole Benton Harbour blitz. ‘Back Of The Shell’ was inspired by a visit to Myers Supermarket out there.
Jamie: “It’s like the midwest Wallmart, really trashy. We went there on a break from the studio to buy food and wine. Nothing happens there at the weekend, so Myers is the only place the young people can go. They all turn up dressed to nines, hair done up, wearing jewelry and incredible clothes, and most of them really overweight. It was so screwed up. So we just wrote a story about that, like a couple coming in, fucking in the back of the gas station, and 15 years later, they’re looking at each other, like, ‘Jesus, that was one teenage fuck in a gas station and I’ve been living in a world of TV dinners ever since’!”
Single contender Love Is A Deserter was a late inclusion on the album. “We finished the record in New York but I didn’t feel we were finished”, says Jamie. “It came out of a thing I’d written in my journal about love and passion. People talking about love being the most important thing in the world but it’s kind of overrated. I was looking at these homeless guys and I wondered what keeps them from throwing themselves off a bridge. It’s not love, because love’s just deserted them. Love is this coward that runs away but passion will stay with you”.
Once the album was done, the duo moved to a house in North London which will act as their HQ, with a recording/rehearsal studio, space to do art and ample room to throw parties. Their vibe is ultra-positive, their relationship as complicated and mysterious as ever, their shared vision undimmed.
Jamie: “We still feel exactly the same. There’s no way of saying it that makes what we’re doing sound as important as it is for us. We want to create our own scene. – maybe not to be immediately appreciated and blown up, but to accumulate, so that people can look back and see we did a lot, and made a difference.”

承接前面一张《Viva Dixie Submarine Transmission Plot》的Sparklehorse依然风采迷人——九八年的这张《Good Morning Spider》证明了田园音乐诗人Mark Linkous的艺术天赋并不因为加入大厂牌便失色。然而把它与上张专辑相比是必然的事情，因为它不仅延续了前者印象派油画般的音乐创作手法，而且在音乐制作和编排上也显得更为精雕细琢。跳跃波动的情绪贯穿整张CD：或者你可以试试这样——某个晚上，不可以无所事事，应该有一本关于冒险的小说或者漫画（例如我的最爱《海贼王》），用适中的音量播着这张——你会感觉得到你所有的情感都会被这张《Good Morning Spider》牵扯出来，你会想开心的叫叫，你也会想失落的走走。整整十七首的作品，你所有的情感都会在音乐中获得一次最完整的释放。
第一首，《PIG》。超爽的吉他和鼓点，还有效果化的Linkous的声音，从乐器的使用到歌词我都惊奇他们都会搞的这么Punk这么爽朗，十分振奋情绪的作品。Ambient感觉的《Painbirds》开始把你的情绪稍稍压低，他告诉你在炎热的美国福吉尼亚州，他田园的阳光中盘旋的那只荆棘鸟。曲中的鼓声是稍稍特出和加快了，在Sparklehorse很多的作品中大家都会不经意的发现这一点——幽怨的Saxophone是平原中的仙人掌，告诉所有的人这里的炎热和干旱；还有Linkous略带呻吟的歌声在炎热的下午醺醺欲睡的告诉你这些琐琐碎碎。
《Saint Mary》会把你所有深藏的忧伤毫无保留的拖出来——对付悲伤，最好的办法就是把悲伤一再的放大再放大，而不是逃避，让痛更痛痛到极点之后便是麻木，便是痊愈。所以在所有的不开心的时候我都很愿意拿出这首Down Song，把伤感堆积。他用诗意的歌词，简简单单的木吉他和钢琴，还有Linkous的梦呓，组合成忧伤最好的药方，让我们在伤痛中喘息。Linkous是和我们都一样的脆弱和痛苦着，所以他并不为快乐者而歌。
浓浓的黑色由类似大提琴的颜料涂上，乱点生花的背景是轻轻的杂音取样。短短的一分钟，没有旋律没有人声。点题之作《Good Morning Spider》，想怎样？而流行民谣特质的《Sick of Goodbyes》，同样是略略加大了鼓声，听起来很是爽朗。Linkous似乎很喜欢玩玩票在这张专辑中：Lo－Fi感觉的Box of Stars, Pt. 1只有短短33秒，讲完唱完就走无需考虑。
《Sunshine》是我的最爱。还记得在一个晚上我整整把它听了五个小时。还记得在某个阴阴沉沉冬天的下午，走在岗顶的街头，不算温暖的阳光和这首歌都很突然把我笼罩，我差点感动的落泪——只是因为这首歌。还记得的还有这段译文：
《Sunshine》 ——From Majave
我睁开眼睛/注视阳光
它在整个夜晚卸装/尽情舒展
时间是个巨人/海浪冲走我收藏的垃圾/
当月亮爆炸或是飘走/我会失去我的纪念品
我躺在草地上/让昆虫为所欲为/
她用翅膀覆盖住我/抱紧我的头说/可怜的东西
时间是个巨人/海浪冲走我收藏的垃圾/
当月亮爆炸或是飘走/我会失去我的纪念品
翻动着的电子音效是天空那些不安分的乌云，其他的就是一镂镂在灰暗冬天中闪耀的阳光。它们只带来一点点的温暖，应为冬天的寒冷不应该被埋没。4分10秒，Linkous很灰色的骗了我们一下，都我很依依不舍的准备按下Replay的时候，那些音符却又响起。送多大家一分钟的Sunshine吧，可能他这样想。
Mark Linkous不是庸俗的流行歌机器，这次这张专辑还带来了Cracker乐队的David Lowery。所以有了这首《haos of the Galaxy/Happy Man》的感觉：甜美的圆舞曲电子音效独立成为一个段落，之后他们怕羞，躲在收音机里唱唱，按耐不住又跑出来唱唱，很自我的Sparklehorse！其中的吉他真的太爽太爽，居然让我找到一些Sonic Youth那种无所危惧的激情！Mark Linkous喜欢这一种淡淡的乡土气息，《Hey, Joe》还是淡淡的说着说着一些琐碎的感觉，很喜欢《Hey, Joe》其中Johnston的吟唱，很诡秘和Down的感觉。伴着它那些歌词，不知怎的心里面就长出了很多温柔的感觉——Joe，Jack,sid,George,是不是他的四个子女？亲人？这是一种深深的亲情的感觉。《Come on In 》里面滴滴答答的老挂钟是灵魂的等待：Come on in，come on in,take me home tonight.伤感的钢琴是灵魂的滴血。很深沉的悲伤，Linkous用最绝望的声音描述着这最后晚上的挂钟的老去。
我是一个很情绪化的人——于是无所顾忌的爱着他们这种情绪化的音乐。
《Maria's Little Elbows》是清晨的，一夜的悲痛与无眠之后略带疲惫的清晨。但是阳光来了，所有的都留在了黑暗——懂得痛，但是更要懂得痊愈。Longly其实很多时候都很美好，包括那逝去的伤痛的夜晚。这张专辑多了两首《Cruel Sun》这种作品间插在那些浓浓的伤痛之中，不会太嘈杂，而又能把你的情绪轻轻的带高一点而不至于关掉CD机——其实这可能是我为什么喜欢Sparklehorse币Red House painter更多的原因吧。其实这首Cruel Sun的吉他都好爽，功力深厚啊。跃动吗？——《All Night Home》马上把你拉回褐色的吉他音效带来的Sadcore之中，继续描述那些伤感和心灵的疼痛，
孤独、痛苦和死亡，似乎似这张专辑的主题。但是它又不是一味的黑啊黑啊痛啊。他也会象小孩般的《Ghost of His Smile》，Lo－fi的表现使这首作品显得很童真。。《Hundreds of Sparrows》是我另外一首心头好：还是我觉得已经有点标志式的略略加大的鼓声，伤感的钢琴，诡秘的人声。你只需要把心放上去，你就会觉得很舒服。
《Box of Stars, Pt. 2》你是否在童年都有过同样的愿望？拥有一个Box of Stars？风琴和其他乐器的混响效果，暗示着，应该结束了。
《Junebug》希望好人好梦。

Radiohead on its top form. Hearty hearty britpop.

Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd "rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut. While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of 16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive recording entrée into the realm of the typical. The catchy choruses of Go are substantial, though, thanks to Lavigne's riff-driven melodies and powerful vocals, which at times adopt the unorthodox intonation quirks of fellow Canadian Alanis Morrissette. The nuanced, dynamic "Losing Grip," "My World" (which perfectly captures the ennui of suburbia), and the buoyant power-pop blast "Sk8er Boi" are the collection's highlights. But Lavigne's honest yet awkward words weigh down the likes of "Mobile," "I'm with You," and "Naked." "Nobody's Fool," which displays her Pink-like take-me-as-I-am credo, hints that someday Lavigne's lyrics will match the strength of her music. --Annie Zaleski

First Band on the Moon is the third studio album by The Cardigans. It features the international single "Lovefool". It was first released on August 12, 1996 and later internationally on September 9, 1996.
The album was a major breakthrough for the band, both in their native Sweden and internationally. It is their best-selling album in the United States, having sold around 664,000 copies there as of September 2010.

大名鼎鼎的《纽约不插电》，Nirvana一次返璞归真的现场演出，有人说Kurt Cobain的天才与痛苦都在这次演出中表露无遗，数月之后，Kurt Cobian结束了自己生命，这张专辑也因而具有了非比寻常的纪念意义，在英美专辑排行榜都登上首位，并在1996年获得了葛莱美最佳另类摇滚专辑奖。

作为英国最成功且最具长久生命力的前卫摇滚乐团和迷幻音乐的较早实践者，Pink Floyd 所呈现出的那种与60年代中期污浊的摇滚乐坛形成鲜明对照的未被污染的个性，均体现在这张具有外太空概念的概念专辑中，作为他们发布的第9部专辑，[The Dark Side of the Moon]由6首歌曲加4首音乐背景效果音乐，采用不停顿的方式连续演绎，给人一气呵成的感觉。
专辑中，[Breathe]表达了一种无助的心态，[Time]则表现的是对光明虚度的追悔和对故乡的眷恋，[Money]则鞭策了金钱至上的思想。[Us And Them]是全碟旋律最优美的一首歌，歌词虽简单但内涵却很深奥，其深刻地提出了反战宣言。[Brain Damage]中通过讲述了一个行为与众不同的人，借以讽刺那些所谓的“正常人”。这个实际清醒的人为世俗所不容，只能在"月影"才能看见他，这是整张唱片的精神所在。最后的结束曲[Eclipse]在罗列了一大堆普通人经历过的事情后在结尾说到“每件事情在太阳下谐和一致，但太阳却被月亮遮蔽了”，表达出一种苍凉的哀愁和无奈。
