Beth Ditto Live

不小心又發現了一些Beth Ditto的Live Clips,原來Beth在歐陸持續都有巡迴演出,光是7月就飛了莫斯科,法國Belfort和倫敦參加多場拼盤演唱會,而且都選唱了Madonna的"Vogue",同名EP若有機會改版不是很應該收錄一下嗎? (OS: 或乾脆出一張LP)


Vogue (Live at Moscow Miller Party)
Madonna的名曲一出,全場立即嗨到爆炸,Beth Ditto甚至嗨到只穿胸罩內褲出場,十足女王風範。而除了Beth Ditto,這個Moscow Miller Party還邀來了Fischerspooner和Hot Chip同台演出,相較之下台灣的party真是無趣的多,每年不是Armin Van Buuren就是Paul Van Dyk,膩死了!!!




Do You Need Someone (Live at Eurockeennes de Belfort)
法國這場拼盤concert排場就大的多,Beth Ditto不愧被bloggers封為新一代"Queen of Electro",電氣橫流的現場演出,光在電腦前收看就已頭皮發麻...這首歌曲的Live版應該是第一次聽到,演唱之前,DJ興致一來還耍了觀眾,相當幽默!!




Medley (Live at Eurockeennes de Belfort)
[Do You Need Someone/ Cruel Intentions/ I Wrote The Book/ Don't Stop The Music (Rihanna Cover)/ Vogue]
剩下的曲目僅找到這個大雜燴的clip,又是那一句老話,光是這樣就夠令人口水直流了。

Beth Ditto Live @ Villette Sonique!!!













This is a must-see, every one!!!

Beth Ditto在巴黎的Villette Sonique舉辦了小型的showcase,現場演唱了同名EP裡的"I Wrote The Book"與"Good Night Good Morning" (應該還唱了"Do You Need Someone"可惜找不到clip),"I Wrote The Book"音樂錄影帶的靈感取自於Madonna的至尊金曲"Vogue",Beth Ditto此番索性帶來熱力四射的Live翻唱,不僅全場帶頭唱,中段更來了一聲核爆式的招牌狂吼,你可以想見以她的火力可以引爆全場多大的迴響...

看完這些clips,我又開始幻想哪天可以親臨她的現場演唱...

[Track of The Day] Beth Ditto/ I Wrote The Book



  Beth Ditto (+ Simian Mobile Disco)同名EP的四首歌曲反覆狂聽了一整個月,終於釋出了首支音樂錄影帶(原以為她不打算宣傳的…),而且還是我最愛的I Wrote The Book,我簡直開心到要昏厥過去了…

  單飛第一砲,Music Video自然馬虎不得,黑白色調的畫面處理,加上三位dancer的posing,根本是Madonna經典名曲 “Vogue”的全新Remake!!! Beth Ditto一改Gossip裡招牌的龐克髮型,吹起大波浪的陳今佩髮型,頂著復古的妝容(那眼妝也太美了…),後面更隨著dancer們來了段即興熱舞,每個眼神每個動作,舉手投足間盡是diva風範…

  交出了完美的音樂錄影帶,接下來請來一些killer級的Remix吧…Beth Ditto!!!




Beth Ditto - I Wrote The Book

I put you up, I treat you well,
Tell you secrets I never tell
We pretend it's all okay
But there's one thing we never say
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is hard to find
Say they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night
Revenge, regret, I wrote the book
Forgive, forget, I wrote the book
Keeping secrets, I wrote the book on it don't test me

Heartbreak and then some
Tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book

It never stops around the clock
When I'm there, you speak so soft
The runaround, will wear you out
You break it off, I'll break you down
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is full of lies
Tell you they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night

Cheating, sneaking, I wrote the book
Begging, pleading, I wrote the book
Lying, crying, I wrote the book on it don't test me

Heartbreak and then some
Tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book

Heartbreak and then some
Tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book

I wrote the book
I wrote the book
I wrote the book on it don't test me
I wrote the book on it don't test me now
I wrote the book on it

Beth Ditto going SOLO!!!



這大概是今年結束前最令人振奮的消息了!!!

GOSSIP女主唱Beth Ditto即將在明年一月發表個人Solo EP,且完全交由英倫電音組合Simian Mobile Disco製作催生,雖然僅有少少的4曲,但日前流出的2分鐘片段已夠讓人口水直流...

Beth Ditto '09年便曾跨刀Simian Mobile Disco專輯帶來電氣處女秀"Cruel Intentions",此番再合作果然繼續電氣到底,鑽石級的diva vocal搭襯Electro排場,預估Remix版本又將橫掃歐陸舞場......

唯一殘念,為何不一不做二不休乾脆來張Solo Album呢?

小談Gossip


古今中外,女主唱一直都是樂團的焦點所在,尤其是女主唱如此地……嗯,讓人無法忽視她的存在。重量級如Beth Ditto的女歌手有很多,人稱“The Queen of Soul”的Aretha Franklin,以“Everybody Dance Now”一曲成名的舞曲女王Marth Wash等等,但從來沒有此等噸位的女歌手受邀出席過Chanel的大秀(也可能出席了但媒體視而不見),或膽敢全裸露點登上雜誌封面,光憑這點Beth Ditto就足以成為新一代的icon…



"Heavy Cross"

Indie起家的Gossip轉戰主流唱片的首戰“Heavy Cross”打的還是帶點Gothic Punk的金字招牌,從前奏的低吟淺唱,到副歌登高一呼“I trust you!”,Beth Ditto的鐵肺巨嗓的力道絲毫未減。混音版本也值得一聽,Fred Falke Remix完全是一首全新的(芭樂?)浩室舞曲,Burns Remix則刻意強化主副歌間的反差,雖然總覺得兩個版本都稍稍削弱了Beth Ditto鋒利的音色…

另外推薦專輯中90’s Soul House風味的Love Long Distance,乍聽之下還以為是Martha Wash早期的舞曲;還有歌詞疑似帶著同志意涵的“Men In Love” (可能是想太多),歡愉的編曲讓人不禁懷念起以前的No Doubt…
