[Track of The Day] Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX - I'll Take Care Of You

老嗓歌手Gil Scott-Heron (一樣叫"吉兒史考特", vocal怎麼和Jill Scott差這麼多...)與The XX裡的Jamie XX合作的Remix專輯"We Are New Here"裡，我最愛這首"I'll Take Care Of You"。

Youtube上找到的這個clip應該是unofficial，但五光十色的光影與Jamie XX摩登俐落的混音相當合拍...

這才是夜生活應該有的音樂。

[Track of The Day] 莫文蔚/ 完美孤獨

孤單和寂寞,

到了Karen Mok口中, 好像就變成很有sense的一件事...

再沒有誰的臉色 需要照顧
也沒有誰的難題 需要應付
一個人睡著 或睡不著
喜歡看書 就看到日出

再沒有人有機會 讓我受苦
也沒有人有能力 讓我認輸
何必再等誰 一起訴苦
各自忙碌 有什麼好處

盲目如何變反目
愛的程序我早已爛熟
可是說 伴侶是身外之物
我又不甘 不服

我希望覺悟 又害怕麻木
單身的好日子 有沒有虛渡
再完美的孤獨算不算美中不足

一切心血再不會 白白付出
所有時間怎麼過 由我作主
愛過的愛人 一個個數
誰給過我 這一種滿足

愛情有一本賬簿
從盈到虧我早已爛熟
可是說 伴侶是身外之物
我又不甘 不服

我希望覺悟 又害怕麻木
單身的好日子 有沒有虛渡
再完美的孤獨算不算美中不足

[Track of The Day] Lykke Li/ Love Out of Lust

Lykke Li - Love Out of Lust

Rather die in your arms, than die lonesome
Rather die hard, than die hollow
The higher that I climb
the deeper I fall down
I'm running out of time
So let's dance while we're waiting

We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than I can
so dance while you can
Dance cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can

Rather live out a lie than live wondering
how the fire feels while burning
for life is like a flame
and the ashes for wasting
so honey don't be afraid
to dance while we're waiting
we will live longer than I will
we will be better than I was
we can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than i can
so dance while you can
dance cause you must

love out of lust
dance while you can

so tired of waiting
come baby
so tired of waiting
come baby

we will live longer than i will
we will be better than i was
we can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than i can
we will live longer than I will
we can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than i can
so dance while you can
dance cause you must
love out of lust
so dance while you can

Love out of lust
Love out of lust
Love out of lust...

[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

我的2010最愛專輯 (Part 2)

5. Scissor Sisters – Night Work

　　雖然專輯封套Gay到不行，但這絕對是一張直彎(Straight/Gay)共賞的舞曲唱片。主唱Jake Shears先是化作The Killers主唱，帶來熱血勁歌“Fire With Fire”(根本是The Killers “Human”的續集)，下一分鐘又化身Bee Gees，帶來boogie woogie的“Any Which Way”。這張以夜生活訴求的專輯，儘管gay味儘管肉慾，在Stuart Price的精準掌舵下都還顯得時髦體面，到了Ending曲就掩不住濃濃的藥味了，“Invisible Lights”呼喚著大家一起吞了吧XD

4. Janelle Monae – The ArchAndroid

　　曾經長篇大論地介紹過這張專輯(詳見這裡)，不出所料這張專輯最近也橫掃了各大音樂媒體的年終前十，相當期待這個女人之後可以玩出甚麼把戲…

3. Goldfrapp – Headfirst

　　‘08年出了一張有點ambient的“Seventh Tree”嚇跑一票粉絲之後，Goldfrapp今年學乖開始擁抱主流，推出一整張向80年代致敬的電音專輯，不管你說她是Olivia Newton John、ABBA或是Fleetwood Mac，也不管經歷過80年代沒有，Allison Goldfrapp那既妖氣又時髦的Synth-pop還是教人乖乖俯首稱臣…

2. Robyn – Body Talk

　　曾讓fans苦等了四年，Robyn今年連出了三張EP，集結而成的Body Talk專輯堪稱是Electro-Pop的完美教材。日前登上諾貝爾獎演唱的“Indestructible”和“Dancing On My Own”是我目前的心頭好，既catchy又流行，轟隆隆的synthesizer讓人無法招架。專輯裡勁歌滿載，電氣從第一首竄到最後，喜歡流行舞曲的人相信會被“Fembot”, “Time Machine”吸引，重度電音愛好者也必定給“Don’t Fxxking Tell Me What To Do”, “None of Dem”收服。今年Robyn也帶來無數精彩的現場演出 (ex: 完美翻唱Alicia Keys的“Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” ，在Bjork面前翻唱“Hyperballad” 、BBC Live Loung現場演唱抒情版的“Dancing On My Own” …)，恭喜她榮登我心目中Artist of the Year!!! (if only she gives a damn…haha)

1. Ellie Goulding – Bright Lights

　　“Lights”推出至今一直穩坐我iTunes播放率最高的專輯，誰想得到改版加入的七首新曲竟然還能超越舊作?? 老搭檔Starsmith這次調高電氣，“Human”與“Animal”相繼帶來令人屏息的迷幻重拍，將Ellie Goulding推向club場的意圖不言可喻。新加入製作陣容的浩室 DJ －Fred Falke，則跌破眼鏡帶來一首Electric-Folk (“Home”)和一首Eurobeat (“Believe Me”)。台灣的環球唱片給Scissor Sisters新專輯一個很有趣的譯名－「不讓你睡」，其實我認為用在這張Bright Lights上更加適合…
