——Noel Gallagher, 1996

我不知道在这一年里我是与音乐走得越来越近还是离得越来越远，当你最快乐的时光并非是由音乐陪伴的时候，当你在无止境的听音乐的过程中感到痛苦的时候，你就会明白我的这种自我质疑。没有哪一年的年度回顾会像2009年这样让我难受了，在回去听那些在这一年里听过的好音乐时，我却觉得好像它们已经存在了一个世纪，而我这次像是隔了千年才去重新听回他们。
很多东西接近了之后就只看见它的肮脏，我没在接近之前理解这句话。
2009年好像只有一个夏季让我印象深刻，后来的时光都过得太快或是过得太淡，这个夏季里听到的歌遇见的人和经历的事最终影响了我这篇年度回顾文章，不过现在回忆起那些的时候，又都觉得那过去的夏天的一切都没有现在来得真实。
音乐是亘久不变的，所以我们才每一年做一次音乐旅程的总结，无论是媒体官方评选还是个人心水总结，都会在未来成为一个回忆的凭证。我希望我在回忆的时候努力地接近听到它们时的那种欣喜，这样我的文字看起来就更真实一点，别在悲伤中回忆过去，我觉得这才是我真切的感受。当然，题头上Noel Gallagher的那句话也很对，并且我觉得可以把里面的几个单词换一换，Please don’t put your life in the music, what’ll throw it all away.
可是，其实只有你真正将你的生命投入进去的时候，你才能发现它的真实性，相信我。

这是我认识许巍这个歌手的第十个年头，当年在唱片架上那束忽然扫过我的凛冽目光，如今已经温和得像是冬日头顶的煦阳。谈起许巍，可以很肯定他的音乐生涯有着两个截然不同的过程，而这两个过程也被他自己划分得很清楚，你能在他的两张音乐合辑上找到答案，2005年的《珍藏许巍1995-2000作品全集》和2009年的《今天 许巍2002-2008生活作品集》，前者正是那个目光灼灼的青年，后者则温和可亲变作长者。

当你成长到一定的年纪，你就能够理解许巍在音乐态度上的这种转变，更愿意当他在舞台上唱起他1995年至2008年的作品时，静默地在台下聆听，往事从被掀起的时光年簿当中倾泻，混合着一种叫做怀旧也叫做历练的味道，当然，还混合有许巍如陈酿般朴实厚重的嗓音。

看一些报道或是采访，已入中年的许巍越发像归隐的古人一般平和安详，然而创作的热忱从未被冷却，同时也积极参与各种各样的现场演出，而近期他将登上大宁音乐季的舞台，细捋他曾陪伴过我们的时光，此次音音乐季的详细信息可登陆http://www.daningdaning.com/09artfestival/查看，你可以看到在这个音乐节的演出阵容当中，许巍可以算是最富资历的歌手。

许巍的音乐当中承载着许多永恒的主题，早期理想的幻灭、现实的可畏，到最后变成跟积极地面对和更温和地度过；许巍的音乐当中也包含有某些从不随时间而更改的特质，那就是永远顺从于自我内心的音乐创作模式，他的“忠于内心”是他真实的最本质原因；许巍的音乐当中还有一股强于所有的力量，他能将他自己与听他音乐的人融合到一起，汇集成音符汇集成词句，这些，你都能在即将来临的大宁音乐季当中感受到，而我们所有人的时光年簿，在音符里，悄悄被掀起了一个小角，往事翻涌而出，你可看到？

Coldplay说起来总不能称得上是一个现场型的摇滚乐团，Chris Martin的声音在录音室专辑当中才能品出那种缠绵深情的味道，自2003年的那张《Live 2003》之后，这张《LeftRightLeftRightLeft》也不过才是Coldplay的第二张现场专辑而已，收录的是2008年六月开始后Coldplay举办的为专辑《Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends》作宣传的世界巡回演唱会“Viva la Vida”的录音文件，九首现场作品于2009年5月15日起在Coldplay的官方网站上提供免费下载，在专辑的封底上，Chris Martin的手迹清楚地告诉我们，这是乐队送给乐迷们的一份礼物。对于这张现场专辑，Chris Martin之前也曾说过，因为正是乐迷将现场的气氛烘托到了极致，所以他们更有理由将这些现场录音作为礼物回馈给他们，尤其是那些未能亲临现场的乐迷。

自从Coldplay极具创新精神的《Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends》发表之后，这支在英伦摇滚乐界占有特殊地位的乐队，开拓了他们音乐生涯的新航程，从音乐本身的寓意到编曲，这张专辑当中的歌曲都更强调大气和开阔的氛围环境，这使得“Viva la Vida”巡回演唱会相较于Coldplay之前的演唱会要更注重现场的器乐编排，而非仅仅只是Chris Martin在演唱时的个人煽动性，所以，尽管不怎么擅长现场演唱的Chris Martin，在这张现场专辑当中的九首歌里，也展现了非常令人血脉喷张的激情。

确实，从这张现场专辑的第一首歌《Glass Of Water》开始，台下观众的掌声和欢呼声就不绝于耳，这种热烈在《42》、《Viva La Vida》、《Fix You》当中表现得最为热烈，万人大合唱一直持续到乐声的消逝仍未停止，在褪去华丽的管弦配乐之后，像《The Hardest Part/Postcards From Far Away》和《Death And All His Friends》这样几乎仅由钢琴作为伴奏的曲目，则展现了Coldplay深情和忧郁的英伦绅士之风，当然，更别提短小精悍却精巧活泼的由原声吉他伴奏的《Death Will Never Conquer》。总言之，这张《LeftRightLeftRightLeft》完美且有效地将“Viva la Vida”巡回演唱会之中的精彩时刻记录了下来，这种完美和有效性就体现在，你仅仅只是在听着这些音频文件的时候，内心都会因为听到了热情而澎湃不止。

From Monument to Masses is a politically-charged Post Rock band which was founded in San Francisco in late 2000. They have released four albums to date, the latest full-length of which was released through Dim Mak on March 10th, 2009.

这支成军不晚的后摇乐队身上有着某种特别的气质，乐队仅由三人组成，但作品却显现出成熟的大师风范，激进的节奏和不时加入的电影原声对白采样，像是在奔跑的过程中，还要频频回头去观看后面的大屏幕上正在播放的电影，或者，就像正在观看一部主人公在急速奔跑的电影（例如《罗拉快跑》），在后摇愈发沉重和晦涩的这么几年里，From Monument to Masses的出现虽然不能说是后摇圈子里的一股清新剂，但却也为后摇诸如了新的一种元素，一种在狡黠、活泼和仿似之下的深邃感人。

Band members:
Francis Choung - drums, keys, programming
Sergio Robledo-Maderazo - bass, keys, samples
Matthew Solberg - guitar, loops

重新想起这首歌是因为《How I Met Your Mother》S05E23里头，Ted的手机铃声居然就是Robin当Teenage pop star时候唱的这首《Let’s Go To The Mall》！于是，一瞬间又回想起这首歌MV当中Robin青春年少时的搞笑模样，当然还有另外一首慢板情歌《Sand Castles In The Sand》MV当中Robin有点儿傻的样子。所以，找到了这两首单曲的mp3，让喜欢这部剧、喜欢Robin或者喜欢这种90年代的流行歌曲的人们来兴奋一下吧！

That was a hit song from the Canadian teenage pop star Robin Sparkles! If you are the fun of the America TV show “How I Met Your Mother”, you must be love it!!!

Let’s Go To The Mall
lyric

Let’s go to the mall everybody! Go!
C’mon Jessica, C’mon Tori,
let’s go to the mall you won’t be sorry.
Put on your jelly-bracelets,
and your cool graffiti-coat,
at the mall havin’ fun is what its all about.

I haven’t done my homework yet…
That’s okay.
And you know how my parents get…
Whatever.
I don’t care ’cause all my friends are gonna be there

Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let’s go to the mall…
Today.

Chloe, mouse, I love it.

There’s this boy I like,
Met him at the food court.
He’s got hair like Brettsy
and he does jumps on his skateboard.

I hope he asks me out,
take me to my favourite spot.
It’ll be just him and me.
But don’t forget the robot.

Dad says I’m too young to date.
Lame.
But baby I don’t wanna wait.
I don’t wanna wait.
Let’s do it.
That’s okay I’m gonna rock your body anyway.
I’m gonna rock your body till the Canada Day.

Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let’s go to the mall…
Today.

I went to the mall with a couple of friends.
I had a whole week’s allowance to spend.
I want hoop earrings and a Benetton shirt.
We came here to shop and we came here to flirt.
I turned around and who should I see?
Prime Minister Brian Mulrooney.
He said, ‘Young lady I don’t approve.’
So I had to get down and bust trés sweet moves.
Hey Fred…c’mon…let’s go to the mall!

Let’s go to the mall everybody!

Everybody come and play
Throw every last care away
Let’s go to the mall…
Today.

Everybody loves the mall!

Everybody come and play
Yeah!
Throw every last care away
I love my hoop earrings.
Let’s go to the mall…
Today.

Today. [ X 32 ] Let’s go to the mall. [ X 12 ]
