你搖滾了嗎？！

導(dǎo)言：

有人說(shuō)，人類(lèi)的任何語(yǔ)言在音樂(lè)面前都顯得蒼白無(wú)力。它糾纏著所有物質(zhì)的寄托和精神的眷戀，在浮華褪去之后，留下的是情感最原始的面貌。而錄音棚的音樂(lè)和現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的音樂(lè)不同，尤其是搖滾樂(lè)，它最大的魅力就來(lái)自于在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)所散發(fā)出的激情和情感共鳴，搖滾現(xiàn)場(chǎng)和歌手的演唱會(huì)更是不同，一個(gè)是為精神而癲，一個(gè)是為偶像而狂。那么你呢？當(dāng)平靜的音樂(lè)已經(jīng)打動(dòng)不了你的時(shí)候，就去現(xiàn)場(chǎng)震撼一下麻痹的神經(jīng)吧。

Until you've been wet， cold， hungry， and having the time of your life， you haven't really experienced a music festival. For those used to listening to music in the quiet of home， the raucous atmosphere of festivals can be a shock; with dozens of bands and thousands of concert-goers， it's a rare event that doesn't feature some kind of organization cock-up. The chaos is all part of the fun， though， and the thrill of live performance can't be beaten. Whether it'll be brilliant or terrible often depends on how the band's feeling that day， but at a festival you know there'll be another group along in a minute.

如果沒(méi)有感受過(guò)潮濕、寒冷、饑餓并沉溺在自己的世界里，你就沒(méi)有經(jīng)歷過(guò)一次真正的音樂(lè)節(jié)。對(duì)于那些習(xí)慣在家靜靜聆聽(tīng)音樂(lè)的人來(lái)說(shuō)，音樂(lè)節(jié)的嘈雜氛圍猶如晴天霹靂。擁有眾多樂(lè)隊(duì)和成千上萬(wàn)的歌迷，音樂(lè)節(jié)儼然成為一場(chǎng)喧囂的盛宴。愉悅夾雜著混亂，但卻不能消減現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演的激情。它是輝煌的還是糟糕的完全取決于當(dāng)天樂(lè)隊(duì)的情緒，但沒(méi)關(guān)系，在音樂(lè)節(jié)上你知道下一秒就會(huì)有另一支樂(lè)隊(duì)出場(chǎng)。

Modern rock festivals started in the 1960s， with a free-wheeling， counter-cultural vibe that some say has been lost with their commercialization in recent years. Beijing's Midi festival is a tame affair compared to some of the giant English and American festivals， but it has a feeling of rawness and excitement about it that the overseas festivals lack. It's a fiercesomely good time， featuring some of the best Chinese groups， as well as a smattering of eager foreign groups keen to show off to a relatively new audience.

現(xiàn)代搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)在上個(gè)世紀(jì)六十年代開(kāi)始自由發(fā)展，而近些年有人認(rèn)為非主流文化氛圍在商業(yè)浪潮中迷失了自我。相比較于英國(guó)美國(guó)的大型音樂(lè)節(jié)，北京迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)有點(diǎn)溫和，但是它的青澀與熱情卻是海外音樂(lè)節(jié)所缺乏的。這絕對(duì)是一個(gè)激情四射的時(shí)刻，中國(guó)的頂尖樂(lè)隊(duì)和一些熱情的國(guó)外樂(lè)隊(duì)都渴望齊聚于此，給新生的觀眾們賣(mài)力地表演。

In this issue of Bilingual Time， we introduce you to some of the most famous – or infamous – festivals worldwide， as well as the burgeoning Chinese live music scene. With live music clubs and groups springing up all over China， there's never been a better time to be a serious music fan here， and we've interviewed Chinese and foreign artists involved in the Chinese music world. So， let the good times roll …

在本期《雙語(yǔ)時(shí)代》中，我們將為你介紹一些著名的或者不出名的世界范圍內(nèi)的音樂(lè)節(jié)，以及一些正在發(fā)展中的中國(guó)音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)音樂(lè)俱樂(lè)部和團(tuán)體組合如雨后春筍般在全國(guó)迅速發(fā)展，對(duì)于一個(gè)真正的音樂(lè)迷來(lái)說(shuō)這是最好的時(shí)期，我們也采訪了一些中國(guó)音樂(lè)領(lǐng)域里的國(guó)內(nèi)外藝術(shù)家。那么，美好的時(shí)光即將開(kāi)始……

一 Famous Rock Festivals During The National Day Holiday

國(guó)慶假期音樂(lè)節(jié)回顧

今年的國(guó)慶黃金周可以說(shuō)是音樂(lè)節(jié)遍地開(kāi)花，在全國(guó)各地同時(shí)上演著一出出精彩的表演。初秋的明媚、冬至的溫暖、年輕的激情在空氣中蕩漾，那么下面就讓我們一起來(lái)看看都有哪些精彩的音樂(lè)節(jié)。

Midi Festival

迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)

Date: from October 1 to 5， 2008

Location: Beijing Midi School of Music

Organizer: Beijing Midi School of Music

Stages:

1. Main Stage

2. Small Stage

The Midi Modern Music Festival is China's largest rock music festival. Since its inauguration in 1997 it has been held each year in Beijing during the May holiday (May 1-3)， with some breaks due to licensing difficulties in 2003 and 2004， when it was held in October instead.

迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)是中國(guó)最大的搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)。從1997年首次舉行以來(lái)每年五一假期（5月1日至3日）都在北京如期舉行，其中2003年還有2004年由于申辦許可問(wèn)題改在十月舉行。

The festival is hosted by the Beijing Midi School of Music， Beijing's first and only rock music school which established in 1993. It is the first music school in China whose curriculum focuses on such modern musical genres as rock， jazz， blues， pop， Latin， country， funk， and so on. The school's mission is \"to promote an artistic and humanistic theory of modern music while offering students classes is advanced musical techniques\".

迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)由北京迷笛音樂(lè)學(xué)校舉辦，在1993年建立，是北京第一所也是唯一一所搖滾音樂(lè)學(xué)校。同時(shí)也是中國(guó)首家將課程側(cè)重于現(xiàn)代音樂(lè)如搖滾、爵士、藍(lán)調(diào)、流行、拉丁、鄉(xiāng)村、放克等等的音樂(lè)學(xué)校。學(xué)校的宗旨是“傳播藝術(shù)的、人文的現(xiàn)代音樂(lè)理論，教育推廣精湛的現(xiàn)代音樂(lè)演繹技法?！?/p>

The 2006 festival， held in Beijing's Haidian Park， hosted 40-80 thousand visitors， and featured performances by more than 50 bands (including 18 foreign bands， such as Alev， Monokino， Yokohama Music Association， The Wombats， and The Mayflies) performing on four stages (Main Stage， Guitarchina Stage， Mini Midi Stage， and Disco Stage). The artists spanned a wide rangeof genres. The 2007 festival included UK acts The Crimea， Kava Kava (band)， Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics， and the Soundtrack Of Our Lives. Due to the Beijing 2008 Olympics， the festival this year was delayed to October. Let's look at it througt the audience's eyes.

2006年迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)在北京海淀公園舉辦，接納了4到8萬(wàn)名觀眾，擁有50多支樂(lè)隊(duì)（包括18支國(guó)外樂(lè)隊(duì)，像火焰、單聲道影院、橫濱音樂(lè)聯(lián)盟、袋熊、浮游）在四個(gè)舞臺(tái)上表演（主舞臺(tái)、吉他中國(guó)舞臺(tái)、迷你迷笛舞臺(tái)和迪斯科舞臺(tái)）。藝術(shù)家們橫跨多種音樂(lè)類(lèi)型。2007年的音樂(lè)節(jié)請(qǐng)來(lái)了英國(guó)的克里米亞、卡瓦卡瓦（樂(lè)隊(duì)）、藝術(shù)體操的戴夫#8226;斯圖爾特以及生活軌道。由于北京2008年奧運(yùn)會(huì)，音樂(lè)節(jié)被推遲到10月。下面就讓我們通過(guò)觀眾的眼睛看看這場(chǎng)音樂(lè)節(jié)吧。

Audience

觀眾

I'm a fairly hardcore rock fan – I used to have about five or six hundred CDs， but since I moved to China I've switched to just mp3s. Back when I lived in New Jersey I used to go to local shows all the time， or take the bus into New York to see people – I saw some amazing live shows back then.In Beijing I go to D-22 and Yugong Yishan a lot.

我是真正的硬核搖滾樂(lè)迷——我曾經(jīng)有過(guò)大概五六百?gòu)圕D，不過(guò)自從我來(lái)了中國(guó)之后就改聽(tīng)MP3了。在我還住在新澤西的時(shí)候一直都去看當(dāng)?shù)氐难莩?，或者是坐公交?chē)去紐約看演出——那時(shí)我也看過(guò)一些很棒的演出。在北京，我常去D-22和愚公移山。

I've been to three Midi festivals before， and I was pissed off when this one was moved. It was never going to be as good as usual， because a lot of the atmosphere comes from having it outside in the park normally， and you just can't get that same feel in a school. Plus they lost a lot of the good foreign bands they had booked when they shifted around. I love Chinese rock， but I hear it all the time anyway， you know? Most of the people there I can see in Beijing anyway.

我參加過(guò)三次迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)，這次更換舉辦地點(diǎn)讓我特別窩火。這場(chǎng)不會(huì)像從前那么精彩了，因?yàn)槟欠N現(xiàn)場(chǎng)氣氛大部分是在公園里面露天舉行時(shí)自然而然就會(huì)有的，在學(xué)校里面是絕對(duì)不會(huì)有同樣的感受的。而且因?yàn)橛謸Q時(shí)間又換地點(diǎn)，他們失去了不少原本已經(jīng)預(yù)約好的不錯(cuò)的外國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)。我喜歡中國(guó)搖滾，而且我也一直都在聽(tīng)，你明白我的意思吧？大部分來(lái)這里的樂(lè)隊(duì)我在北京城里都可以見(jiàn)到。

But still， I thought they did well with what they had， all things considered. The school had surprisingly good acoustics， and it was great to see some of my favourite bands with a proper stage – I mean， the Beijing clubs are ok， but they're not going to compare to a real setup， yeah?And it was a great atmosphere， especially among the Chinese fans – everyone was just fantastically happy that the event was on， everyone was having a good time. I got hugged by a lot of random Chinese girls， which I liked， though maybe my girlfriend wasn't so keen about that! I hope they can have it in the spring next year， though.

不過(guò)，考慮到所有的因素，我覺(jué)得他們已經(jīng)盡力地辦好這次音樂(lè)節(jié)了。這間學(xué)校的音響效果意外的好，在這個(gè)不錯(cuò)的舞臺(tái)見(jiàn)到我喜歡的樂(lè)隊(duì)感覺(jué)很棒——我的意思是，雖然在北京的俱樂(lè)部也不錯(cuò)，但是那是不能跟在真正的舞臺(tái)上相提并論的，對(duì)吧？而且氣氛也不錯(cuò)，尤其是那些中國(guó)粉絲——對(duì)于這次音樂(lè)節(jié)的舉行，每個(gè)人都由衷地感到開(kāi)心，每個(gè)人都享受其中。我被很多大方的中國(guó)女孩擁抱，我喜歡這樣，但是可能我的女朋友對(duì)此就心懷不滿了。我希望音樂(lè)節(jié)能夠在明年春天繼續(xù)舉行。

Modern Sky Festival

摩登天空音樂(lè)節(jié)

Date: from September 30 to October 2， 2008

Location: HaiDian Park， Beijing， China

Organizer: Modern Sky Records

Stages:

1. Main Stage

2. ROKR Stage

3. Electric Stage

The Modern Sky Festival is one of the biggest outdoor music festivals in Beijing， China， organized by the Modern Sky record label.

摩登天空音樂(lè)節(jié)由摩登天空唱片公司主辦，是北京最大的戶外音樂(lè)節(jié)之一。

The first festival was held on October 2-4， 2007 at Haidian Park. It featured four music stages and over 120 bands， headlined by the American band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Chinese bands included New Pants， Rebuilding the Rights Of Statues， P.K.14， Queen Sea Big Shark， Joyside - who appear in the film Wasted Orient - and so on. The first festival was a big success and gathered a good reputation among music fans

首屆摩登天空音樂(lè)節(jié)于2007年10月2日至4日在海淀公園舉辦。它擁有四個(gè)不同的音樂(lè)舞臺(tái)和120多支樂(lè)隊(duì)，最為耀眼的就是美國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)Yeah Yeah Yeahs。中國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)包括“新褲子”、“重塑雕像的權(quán)利”、P.K.14、“后海大鯊魚(yú)”、Joyside（在電影《亞洲搖滾樂(lè)的噩夢(mèng)》中出演）等等。第一屆音樂(lè)節(jié)獲得了巨大成功并在樂(lè)迷中建立起了良好的口碑。

After the success of the first festival， the second was held this year during the National Day holidays. The festival started at 1:00 p.m. each day from September 30 to October 2 with tickets selling for 60 yuan. Despite reports of a possible combined Midi and Modern Sky Festival back in April， which excited many fans， organizers ultimately chose not to link the two， and fans seem to have been happy going to both.

在第一屆成功舉辦的基礎(chǔ)上，今年的摩登天空音樂(lè)節(jié)在國(guó)慶節(jié)期間舉行。從9月30日到10月2日每天下午1點(diǎn)開(kāi)始，票價(jià)60元。盡管最初4月時(shí)有報(bào)道說(shuō)迷笛和摩登天空會(huì)一起舉辦音樂(lè)節(jié)，這個(gè)消息讓所有歌迷都興奮不已，不過(guò)主辦方最終還是決定分開(kāi)舉辦，但歌迷們依舊興致勃勃。

This year there are only three stages， two of which werelocated inside the Haidian Park exhibition hall. The main outdoor stage was set up in the square to the west of the exhibition hall.There were also plenty of stalls， music and other activities going on around the park.

今年只有三個(gè)舞臺(tái)，其中兩個(gè)設(shè)在海淀公園的展覽館內(nèi)。最大的露天舞臺(tái)設(shè)在展覽館西側(cè)的廣場(chǎng)上。還有很多攤位，音樂(lè)及其它活動(dòng)在公園內(nèi)同時(shí)上演。

The festival， in cooperation with the World Wildlife Fund， utilized energy-saving bulbs for lighting and has printed the festival pamphlets on recycled paper. The organizers also paid for carbon offets to counteract the emissions produced by the performers' travel. The money will be put toward future environmental protection campaigns.

今年的音樂(lè)節(jié)和世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)合作使用節(jié)能燈照明和利用再生紙印刷音樂(lè)節(jié)宣傳手冊(cè)。主辦方還購(gòu)買(mǎi)參演樂(lè)隊(duì)的碳排放。這些錢(qián)將會(huì)用于環(huán)境保護(hù)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

However， organizers decided not to invite any big name foreign acts to perform at the festival. Although they had initially intended to ask Lou Reed， Blonde Redhead and Bright Eyes to perform at the outdoor festival， this year's music festival primarily featured domestic singers and bands， including mainland rock icons Zhang Chu and He Yong and the Carsick Cars.

然而，主辦方?jīng)Q定本次音樂(lè)節(jié)不邀請(qǐng)任何知名的國(guó)外樂(lè)隊(duì)。盡管最初他們打算邀請(qǐng)盧#8226;里德， 樂(lè)隊(duì)“金發(fā)紅頭”和“亮眼睛”來(lái)參加本次音樂(lè)節(jié)，但最終還是以本土的歌手以及樂(lè)隊(duì)為主，其中包括大陸搖滾偶像張楚、何勇還有樂(lè)隊(duì)“暈車(chē)的車(chē)”。

Festival Highlights

1. Not only music， but any art forms that commonly appeal to young people;

2. Vendors at the art fair sellling homemade crafts;

3. Exhibitions showcase works by young artists during the three-day event;

4. Big promotion of greener lifestyles.

I went to the Modern Sky Festival with my friend Maggie almost by accident; we'd just meant to go to another park but the traffic was really bad， so we saw the signs for the festival and went there instead. Neither of us are big rock fans， though we both like music， so it was a new experience for us.

我跟我的朋友麥琪去參加摩登天空音樂(lè)節(jié)純屬偶然。我們?cè)敬蛩闳チ硗庖粋€(gè)公園，但是那天的交通實(shí)在是遭透了，我們看見(jiàn)了音樂(lè)節(jié)的標(biāo)志，于是前往參加。我們都不是超級(jí)搖滾粉絲，雖然喜歡音樂(lè)，但參加這樣的音樂(lè)節(jié)對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)還是個(gè)全新的體驗(yàn)。

It was very well designed – inside the Haidian Museum， with three， I think， sound stages and lots of room in the square in the middle. There they had lots of stalls， selling the normal things， like food and drink and snacks， but also merchandise from the bands – CDs， t-shirts， bags. A lot of things were branded with the marijuana symbol， which I thought was funny. Security was really tight – even more than at the Olympics， where I was working at a journalist. They checked everyone coming in， and you weren't allowed to bring bottled water.

在海淀博物館內(nèi)一切都精心設(shè)計(jì)，我覺(jué)得有三個(gè)舞臺(tái)看上去不錯(cuò)，而且廣場(chǎng)中間還有充足的空間。廣場(chǎng)中間的空間也很大。有不少小攤點(diǎn)兜售物品——無(wú)非就是零食和飲料還有點(diǎn)心，同時(shí)也有來(lái)自樂(lè)隊(duì)的商品——CD啦、T恤啦、包啦。讓我覺(jué)得有意思的是很多東西都用大麻圖案做商標(biāo)。保安很?chē)?yán)格，甚至更甚于我曾經(jīng)作為記者效力過(guò)的奧運(yùn)會(huì)。每個(gè)進(jìn)場(chǎng)的人都要檢查，連瓶裝水都不允許帶入。

All the bands were very loud， and it was hard for us to really tell who was who， because we weren't familiar with the scene. I know we saw Face (Miankong)， and Wang Fei's ex-husband was there， Dou Wei. There weren't any really famous foreign bands， or at least not ones we knew. All of the musicians were very accomplished guitarists， singers， and so on， but most of them were ugly!

所有的樂(lè)隊(duì)都很吵，對(duì)于我們來(lái)講，他們實(shí)在難于區(qū)分，因?yàn)槲覀儗?duì)這個(gè)圈子不熟悉。我知道我們看到了樂(lè)隊(duì)“面孔”。王菲的前夫竇唯也在。其實(shí)并沒(méi)有特別出名的國(guó)外樂(lè)隊(duì)，至少我們知道的都沒(méi)出現(xiàn)。所有的樂(lè)手都是很有才華的吉他手或者歌手什么的，可惜他們當(dāng)中的大部分長(zhǎng)得都挺抱歉的！

The crowd was really into the whole thing. Most of them were Chinese， but there was a good smattering of foreigners， mostly Americans， I thought. Many of them were very rock; a lot of pierced noses and bellybuttons and hair in all kinds of colours and styles. A bunch of people were throwing around an American football in front of one of the stages， and everyone was really having a great time. I enjoyed it a lot， and I might try and go again next year.

觀眾倒是真的很投入。他們當(dāng)中大部分是中國(guó)人，也有不少外國(guó)人，我猜大部分是美國(guó)人。他們大多都很搖滾，很多都穿著鼻環(huán)或者臍環(huán)，留著各種顏色風(fēng)格多樣的發(fā)型。有一群人在一個(gè)舞臺(tái)前面玩著美式足球，每個(gè)人都享受著這一刻。我也享受著其中的快樂(lè)，明年，也許我還會(huì)來(lái)。

NOTCH Festival - Tomorrow AudioVisual Today

NOTCH藝術(shù)節(jié) - 今日視聽(tīng)未來(lái)

NOTCH08 – Comma Coma

時(shí)間：2008.10.2 – 10.4

地點(diǎn)：北京│上海│廣州│香港

30位北歐藝術(shù)家 x 30位中國(guó)藝術(shù)家

NOTCH is the largest audio-visual festival in China promoting cultural collaboration between China and Nordic countries. NOTCH 2008 features 30 Nordic artists spanning musical genres of Jazz， Improvisation， Electro-acoustic， Psychedelic Folk， Sound Art， Avant Garde Rock， Indie Pop and Ambient/Minimal Techno.

NOTCH是致力于推廣中國(guó)以及北歐諸國(guó)之間的文化合作的最大的視聽(tīng)音樂(lè)節(jié)。2008年的NOTCH主打30位北歐藝術(shù)家，音樂(lè)類(lèi)型橫跨爵士、即興、電音、迷幻民謠、聲音藝術(shù)、先鋒派搖滾、獨(dú)立流行以及氛圍/簡(jiǎn)約數(shù)碼。

NOTCH Festival fuses cutting edge Scandinavian audiovisual culture with the rising new local scene， triggering the audience to rethink his/her contemporary and in-the-near-future roles via \"contemporizing the future\" and the practice of \"de-futurization\". Following the successful debut and sophomore efforts in 2006 and 2007 in Beijing， Shanghai and Guangzhou， NOTCH08 will return to the 3 cities during the 1st week of October in 2008. Hong Kong， in addition， will join as the 4th city.

NOTCH藝術(shù)節(jié)抓取北歐前沿視聽(tīng)文化場(chǎng)景與本土新興個(gè)體作無(wú)級(jí)耦合，激發(fā)觀眾通過(guò)“未來(lái)當(dāng)代化”的體驗(yàn)重新思考自身在當(dāng)下和近未來(lái)的存在價(jià)值，進(jìn)行“去未來(lái)化”的探索與實(shí)踐。繼NOTCH藝術(shù)節(jié)過(guò)去2年在京滬穗三地獲得熱烈反響后，NOTCH08將于2008年十一國(guó)慶黃金周在京滬穗三城再度舉行，并增設(shè)香港站。

NOTCH08's theme this year is \"Comma Coma\"， i.e. non-stop coma， the overwhelming state we are facing in a year of natural disasters， stock market crisis and price increases of oil and food. How will we cope with it? Many people have no idea. NOTCH08 aims to present the ideality toward the future via participating Nordic and local artists' artistic expression that we should start reducing our consumption， not using more resources to further burden the fragile earth. It also reflects NOTCH's cultural meaning: notch， or groove， was how early recordings were made. Every single notch has its social value for being.

今年的主題是“Comma Coma”，即“昏迷未止”。Comma是逗號(hào)之意，相對(duì)于full stop（句號(hào)）而言，它代表未停止的狀態(tài)。而Coma（昏迷）意指當(dāng)下愈演愈烈的天災(zāi)（雪、地震、暴雨和臺(tái)風(fēng)）、股災(zāi)和石油糧食漲價(jià)波及每個(gè)人精神世界的狀態(tài)。未來(lái)應(yīng)該怎樣，很多人顯得無(wú)所適從。NOTCH08希望通過(guò)北歐和本土藝術(shù)家的藝術(shù)表達(dá)傳遞對(duì)近未來(lái)（即將到來(lái)的未來(lái)）的理念：人類(lèi)應(yīng)該做減法，而不是消耗更多資源，進(jìn)一步給地球添亂。這也是NOTCH本身的文化內(nèi)涵：NOTCH（意為“刻痕”）是人類(lèi)早期記錄重大事件的方式。每一道刻痕都有它存在的社會(huì)意義。

NOTCH08 selects 30 Nordic artists with multiple identities and minimal life attitude as \"evangelists\" of NOTCH's philosophy. The music spans across genres of Free Jazz， Improvisation， Electro-acoustic， Psychedelic Folk， Sound Art， Avant Garde Rock， Indie Pop and Ambient/Minimal Techno， plus the accompanying visual culture. Their identities span across composer， player， sound artist， sound engineer， DJ， producer， label master， curator， graphic designer， new media artist， photographer， illustrator， VJ， space designer， poet， writer and film director. They are sampled from the latest Nordic cultural scene and merge into the irregularly Chinese grass-roots cultural scene， thus stimulating new reaction.

NOTCH08所選的30位藝術(shù)家通過(guò)其多重身份和自然低限的藝術(shù)生活態(tài)度成為NOTCH理念的最佳代言人。北歐藝術(shù)家橫跨北歐五國(guó)，音樂(lè)類(lèi)型跨越自由爵士、即興、電子原音、迷幻民謠、聲音藝術(shù)、前衛(wèi)搖滾、獨(dú)立流行和氛圍、低限電音，還涉及與音樂(lè)相關(guān)的視覺(jué)影像文化；他們的身份跨越了作曲家、演奏家、聲音藝術(shù)家、音響師、DJ、制作人、獨(dú)立廠牌主持、策展人、平面設(shè)計(jì)師、新媒體藝術(shù)家、攝影師、插畫(huà)師、VJ、空間設(shè)計(jì)師、詩(shī)人、作家和電影導(dǎo)演等多個(gè)領(lǐng)域，將北歐當(dāng)代文化場(chǎng)景中最鮮活，最新涌現(xiàn)的部分即時(shí)濃縮，然后匯入中國(guó)無(wú)規(guī)則蔓延的草根文化場(chǎng)景，并相互激發(fā)出新的原動(dòng)力。

Program Highlights

1. 30 cultural masters in various forms present \"de-genre\" live performance;

2. World premiere of the new lineup of the NOTCH ensemble， the Nordic Chinese group especially for NOTCH;

3. Festival in Festival: Full Pull Festival (Sweden)'s core being transplanted into NOTCH’s context;

二 Famous Rock Festivals Around the World

世界著名搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)

中國(guó)的音樂(lè)節(jié)是新生的事物，一切都才剛剛起步，而西方國(guó)家早在上個(gè)世紀(jì)就有了到今天還依舊被人津津樂(lè)道的傳奇音樂(lè)節(jié)，那么都有哪些星光熠熠的音樂(lè)盛宴呢？

Monterey International Pop Festival

蒙特里國(guó)際流行音樂(lè)節(jié)

1967 was known as \"The Summer of Love\"， when hundreds of thousands of young people in the United States came together to attempt to find new music， new values， and new drugs. Marked by a hostility to the culture of their parents， and united by idealistic far-left politics and opposition to the Vietnam War， the participants， mostly Americans but including visitors from all around the world， became known as \"flower children\" or \"hippies\".

當(dāng)無(wú)數(shù)美國(guó)年輕人集聚在一起試圖尋找新音樂(lè)、新價(jià)值觀以及新毒品時(shí)，1967年以“戀之盛夏”而聞名全球。參加者大多是美國(guó)人，但也有來(lái)自世界各地的游客，持極端理想主義政見(jiàn)、標(biāo)榜厭惡父輩傳統(tǒng)文化、反對(duì)越戰(zhàn)，也就是后來(lái)著名的“花之子”或者稱“嬉皮士”。

The centre of the hippy movement was in California， and particularly in the Haight-Asbury district of San Francisco. It was near there， in the town of Monterey， that record producer Lou Adler， along with Michelle and John Philips of the pop group The Mamas and the Papas， planned a radical new festival， drawing together the new music from California and elsewhere.

這場(chǎng)嬉皮士運(yùn)動(dòng)的中心在加利福尼亞，尤其是舊金山的黑特#8226;雅希布里區(qū)。就在附近的蒙特里，唱片商盧#8226;阿德勒聯(lián)合“爸爸媽媽”樂(lè)隊(duì)的米歇爾以及約翰#8226;菲利普斯策劃了一場(chǎng)全新的音樂(lè)盛典，使來(lái)自加利福尼亞以及其它地方的新興音樂(lè)在這里碰撞融合。

Although the organizers charged money for tickets， all proceeds were donated to charity， and almost all the acts performed for free. The variety of music was incredible， from the sitar of Indian maestro Ravi Shankar， to jazz， blues， pop， and rock. One criticism was the lack of black artists; although several had been invited， Jimi Hendrix was the only major black performer to attend.The festival was a huge success， sparking a wave of imitators in the next few years， and unlike many subsequent events was also very well organised and managed – although the hallucinogenic drug LSD was widely used， under the name of \"Monterey Purple\"， setting a pattern of heavy drug use that would continue throughout festivals to come.

盡管組織者采取門(mén)票收費(fèi)制，但是所有的收入都捐贈(zèng)給慈善事業(yè)，而且?guī)缀跛醒莩龆际敲赓M(fèi)的。音樂(lè)種類(lèi)多不勝數(shù)，從印度音樂(lè)大師拉維#8226;香卡的錫塔爾琴到爵士、藍(lán)調(diào)、流行、搖滾，應(yīng)有盡有。有評(píng)論指責(zé)這場(chǎng)音樂(lè)盛典缺少黑人藝術(shù)家。盡管有幾位黑人藝術(shù)家受到邀請(qǐng)，但吉米#8226;亨德里克斯是唯一主要的黑人表演者。這次音樂(lè)節(jié)獲得了巨大的成功，在稍后幾年里模仿者以星火燎原之勢(shì)大量涌現(xiàn)，不同于后來(lái)的一些音樂(lè)節(jié)，這些都組織有序——但是號(hào)稱“蒙特里紫疵”的迷幻搖頭丸在音樂(lè)節(jié)上泛濫成災(zāi)，蒙特里音樂(lè)節(jié)成為后來(lái)音樂(lè)節(jié)延續(xù)的一個(gè)吸食重藥劑的典范。

Woodstock Music Festival

伍德斯托克音樂(lè)節(jié)

The single most famous outdoor music festival， Woodstock， was held in the small town of Bethel in upstate New York from the 15th to the 17th of August 1969. Originally intended as a money-making venture by the organizers， the vast majority of the half-million or so attendees ended up being admitted for free. Local authorities feared difficulties in controlling the crowds， but a general spirit of peace， love， and happiness prevailed.

1969年8月15到17日，在紐約北部的小鎮(zhèn)伯利特舉行了獨(dú)一無(wú)二、聲名顯赫的大型戶外音樂(lè)節(jié)——伍德斯托克音樂(lè)節(jié)。最初組織者是為了賺錢(qián)，但最后將近50萬(wàn)的觀眾是免費(fèi)入場(chǎng)的。地方當(dāng)局曾擔(dān)心人數(shù)太多難以控制。而 “和平、友愛(ài)、快樂(lè)”的精神卻成為這場(chǎng)音樂(lè)盛典永恒的魅力。

Despite poor organization， huge amounts of rain and mud， and a dire lack of toilets， the festival was widely seen as a huge success， with electrifing performances by many 60s stars， particularly Jimi Hendrix and the Who (although the Grateful Dead， normally famous live performers， gave a disastrous show). The festival was also noted for a high level of casual sex and drug use， including two overdoses， and many festival-goers stripped naked and rolled in the mud. Woodstock set an example for many future festivals， including the outdoor location and a free-wheeling spirit.

盡管組織不力、大雨滂沱、滿是泥濘以及廁所緊缺，音樂(lè)節(jié)還是取得了空前的勝利，很多60年代的大牌明星都參與其中，尤其是吉米#8226;亨德里克斯以及“誰(shuí)人”樂(lè)隊(duì)（盡管著名的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演樂(lè)隊(duì)“感恩而死”有極其糟糕的演出）。這場(chǎng)音樂(lè)節(jié)也以性開(kāi)放和吸食毒品而聞名，包括兩名使用過(guò)量者，以及很多赤身裸體在泥地打滾的音樂(lè)節(jié)參加者。同時(shí)，伍德斯托克也為后來(lái)的音樂(lè)節(jié)建立了榜樣，比如室外裝置以及它的自由精神。

Woodstock represented for many the peak of the values of the 1960s， and was billed as \"An Aquarian Exposition\" – a reference to the popular counter-cultural belief in a dawning \"Age of Aquarius\" that would replace the antiquated values of the past. This idealism about festivals did not last long; it ended with the brutal murder， by \"Hell's Angels\" hired as security guards， of a young black man at the Altamont Free Concert in December 1969. Recent attempts to hold \"new Woodstocks\"， particularly on the 25th anniversary in 1994， have been criticised for being overly commercial and for involving large corporate backers like Pepsi

伍德斯托克音樂(lè)節(jié)是上世紀(jì)六十年代很多價(jià)值觀的巔峰體現(xiàn)，并號(hào)稱是“寶瓶之展”——借鑒了當(dāng)時(shí)剛剛流行、取代過(guò)去陳舊思想的反傳統(tǒng)文化信念的“寶瓶時(shí)代”。這種關(guān)于音樂(lè)節(jié)的理想主義并沒(méi)有持續(xù)很久：它以在1969年12月在Altamont Free演唱會(huì)上發(fā)生的一起殘忍謀殺案而畫(huà)上休止符——被雇為保安人員的當(dāng)?shù)亓髅ソM織“地獄天使”殺死了一名黑人青年。而近年來(lái)嘗試舉辦“新伍德斯托克”都由于過(guò)度商業(yè)化以及卷入像百事這樣的大型企業(yè)贊助商事件而飽受爭(zhēng)議，尤其是1994年的25周年紀(jì)念音樂(lè)會(huì)。

Glastonbury Music Festival

格拉斯頓伯里音樂(lè)節(jié)

Glastonbury， a small town in the rural west of the UK， has long been associated with the mythical figure of King Arthur. This great English hero is said to rest near Glastonbury Tor (\"tor\" is an old English word for \"hill\") waiting for the call to save England in her darkest hour. It's a wonder hehasn't been woken up by the rock festival， though; this notoriously muddy and loud event is one of the mainstays of the English music scene.

格拉斯頓伯里是英國(guó)西部的鄉(xiāng)下小鎮(zhèn)，長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)人們都將它和神秘的亞瑟王聯(lián)系在一起。據(jù)說(shuō)這位偉大的英國(guó)英雄長(zhǎng)眠在格拉斯頓伯里山（tor是hill的舊體）并等待著拯救英國(guó)于危難中的召喚。很奇怪，喧囂的搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)并沒(méi)有將他喚醒，這場(chǎng)滿是泥濘的音樂(lè)盛事成為英國(guó)一道最亮麗的風(fēng)景線。

Held yearly， the festival started with a small concert organised by local farm owner Michael Eavis in 1970， on his own land. Only 1500 people came， but the festival took off the next year， when tens of thousands of people attended an event billed as the \"Glastonbury Fayre\" – the old-style spelling indicating the associations with medieval Britain and ancient legend. Glastonbury is a major New Age centre， and candles， crystals， psychics， and neo-pagans are all commonly found at the festival.

年復(fù)一年，音樂(lè)節(jié)最初由當(dāng)?shù)匾患肄r(nóng)場(chǎng)主邁克爾#8226;伊維斯在1970年創(chuàng)辦的一場(chǎng)小型音樂(lè)會(huì)開(kāi)始。最初只有1500人參加，但第二年迅速發(fā)展，成為有幾萬(wàn)人參加的“格拉斯頓伯里聯(lián)盟”（Fayre是中世紀(jì)英國(guó)以及古老傳奇中表示“聯(lián)盟、協(xié)會(huì)”的舊式拼寫(xiě)）。格拉斯頓伯里音樂(lè)節(jié)是新世紀(jì)的主舞臺(tái)，在這里無(wú)論是燭光、水晶、靈魂還是新異教徒的身影都隨處可見(jiàn)。

Nowadays， \"Glasto\"， as it's affectionately known， attracts around a hundred and fifty thousand people every year， as well as the top acts of British music. Michael Eavis continues to run the event， and has expressed worries in recent years that the crowds are becoming \"too middle-aged and respectable\"， as the 70s generation ages. Nevertheless， Glastonbury still attracts huge numbers of young people， despite high prices and the invitable English rain. Channel 4 broadcasts many of the acts live on national TV， allowing everyone to get in on the event.

如今，知名的格拉斯頓音樂(lè)節(jié)已經(jīng)成為英國(guó)音樂(lè)界的盛事，每年都會(huì)吸引15萬(wàn)左右的人前來(lái)參加。邁克爾#8226;伊維斯仍每年都舉辦音樂(lè)節(jié)，但近年來(lái)他對(duì)于前來(lái)的觀眾多是七十年代“體面的中年人”這一事實(shí)表示擔(dān)心。盡管票價(jià)昂貴以及令人生厭的大雨，格拉斯頓伯里音樂(lè)節(jié)依舊吸引著很多年輕人。4頻道會(huì)在國(guó)際臺(tái)轉(zhuǎn)播很多音樂(lè)節(jié)演出現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，使得每個(gè)人都參與其中。

ReadingLeeds Rock Music Festival

雷丁利茲搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)

The Reading (pronounced \"red-ding\") and Leeds Music Festival is one of the oldest annual festivals in the world， growing out of an international jazz festival founded in the 1950s. The festival comes in two legs; one held in the Southern town of Reading， and the other， introduced in the 1990s， up north in Leeds， though both parts feature a virtually identical line-up of bands.

雷?。òl(fā)音“red-ding”）和利茲音樂(lè)節(jié)是世界上歷史最悠久的音樂(lè)節(jié)之一，從上世紀(jì)五十年代的國(guó)際爵士音樂(lè)節(jié)衍化而來(lái)。盡管演出樂(lè)隊(duì)完全相同，音樂(lè)節(jié)還是分為兩個(gè)舞臺(tái)：一個(gè)是雷丁南部的小鎮(zhèn)，另一個(gè)是在九十年代開(kāi)始，位于利茲北部。

Reading has always tried to emphasise a wide range of music， from heavy metal to traditional jazz and world music， and there have sometimes been disastrous clashes when the fans of one style are stuck listening to a genre they hate. Most notoriously， the flash-in-the-pan teen pop duo Daphne and Celeste were forced off stage after having heavy objects， including a wheelchair， thrown at them after being scheduled to appear just after a performance by the hardcore metal band Slipknot.This formed part of a fine Reading tradition of throwing things at bad groups， normally urine in plastic bottles or cups. Bands have also occasionally got into arguments on stage.

雷丁音樂(lè)節(jié)一直努力強(qiáng)調(diào)音樂(lè)的多樣性，從重金屬到傳統(tǒng)爵士到流行，但當(dāng)一種類(lèi)型音樂(lè)的歌迷無(wú)法忍受他們所唾棄的音樂(lè)時(shí)就會(huì)發(fā)生嚴(yán)重的摩擦沖撞。最出名的一次是曇花一現(xiàn)的流行二人樂(lè)隊(duì)Daphne Celeste在重金屬樂(lè)隊(duì)“活結(jié)”表演結(jié)束后按照預(yù)定計(jì)劃登臺(tái)時(shí)，有瘋狂的歌迷向他們?nèi)又匚锉热巛喴?，?dǎo)致他們被迫下臺(tái)。這形成了雷丁的一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，就是向垃圾樂(lè)隊(duì)扔?xùn)|西，經(jīng)常是用塑料瓶或者杯子裝的小便。樂(lè)隊(duì)偶爾也會(huì)在臺(tái)上吵起來(lái)。

Like all greenfield festivals， Reading has always been at the mercy of the weather， and has had major problems with storms and floods. It's also had problems with government – citing traffic disruptions， bad crowd control， and problems with drugs， the local conservative council effectively banned it for two years， and it was only with a Labour victory at the regional elections that the festival was restarted. Performers at Reading have spanned every generation of British music， with one of the first being the late， great Humphrey Lyttelton， jazz musician and comedian.More recent line-ups have heavily featured American bands， including famous performances by Nirvana and the Beastie Boys.

像所有的戶外音樂(lè)節(jié)一樣，雷丁音樂(lè)節(jié)也一直對(duì)天氣束手無(wú)策，尤其是暴雨和洪水這樣嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題。還有政府方面的糾紛——像交通癱瘓、失控人群、毒品問(wèn)題，當(dāng)?shù)乇Ｊ匚瘑T會(huì)就曾經(jīng)將其禁辦兩年，最后由于地區(qū)選區(qū)中工黨的勝利才使得音樂(lè)節(jié)重新舉辦。雷丁音樂(lè)節(jié)上的表演者橫跨英國(guó)各個(gè)音樂(lè)時(shí)代，像已經(jīng)過(guò)世的第一位偉大的爵士音樂(lè)家和戲劇大師漢弗萊#8226;利特爾頓。而近些年來(lái)演出陣容中出現(xiàn)越來(lái)越多的美國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)，像著名的“涅磐”和“野獸男孩”。

Fuji Rock Festival

富士搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)

The most famous Japanese music festival， paradoxically enough， is held nowhere near its namesake Mount Fuji， but rather in the Naeba hills， near a ski resort. The landscapes are spectacularly beautiful， although exhausted fans often complain of having to trudge long distances to reach performances at seven different stages. It lasts for three days， and is considered one of the best opportunies for Japanese music fans to see Western bands live.

最詭異的是聲名在外的日本富士音樂(lè)節(jié)。它并非和名字一樣會(huì)在富士山舉行，而是選擇了一個(gè)滑雪勝地附近的新瀉苗場(chǎng)。盡管筋疲力盡的歌迷們會(huì)經(jīng)常抱怨為觀看七個(gè)不同的舞臺(tái)演出而跋山涉水，但這里的風(fēng)景異常美麗。音樂(lè)節(jié)持續(xù)三天，被認(rèn)為是日本音樂(lè)發(fā)燒友們零距離感受西方樂(lè)隊(duì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)魅力的最好機(jī)會(huì)之一。

The festival was started in 1997， when it was located near Mt. Fuji， and almost ended its first year， after a typhoon hit the area. Nobody was killed， but thousands of festival-goers were drenched and miserable， and many fell sick and had to go to hospital. After that， the organizers decided not to risk the wrath of the mountain again and moved the event. Since 1998 the festival has largely run smoothly， and is rather better organized than most British or American events.

富士搖滾音樂(lè)節(jié)于1997年開(kāi)始舉辦，最初在富士山下，但在臺(tái)風(fēng)襲擊了那個(gè)地區(qū)后就迅速結(jié)束了它的第一次音樂(lè)歷程。雖然沒(méi)有人員死亡，但是數(shù)以千計(jì)的音樂(lè)發(fā)燒友被淋得透濕、痛苦不堪，很多人都生病了而不得不去醫(yī)院看病。在這以后，組委會(huì)就決定不再違逆富士山的憤怒而轉(zhuǎn)移場(chǎng)地。從1998年開(kāi)始音樂(lè)節(jié)順利舉行，并且比任何一個(gè)英國(guó)或者美國(guó)音樂(lè)節(jié)都要文明有序。

The line-up of bands is mostly Western， with a smattering of local Japanese acts. Unlike other famous festivals， it's always been a purely commercial event， run by the Smash Japan promotion company. Japanese music is dominated by anodyne pop and teen groups， and fans of more serious music are deeply grateful for the festival.

大部分演出樂(lè)隊(duì)都來(lái)自西方國(guó)家，只有一小部分是日本本土樂(lè)隊(duì)。不同于其它著名的音樂(lè)節(jié)，富士音樂(lè)節(jié)由Smash Japan公司舉辦，是一個(gè)完全的商業(yè)活動(dòng)。由于日本的音樂(lè)市場(chǎng)被一些治愈系流行樂(lè)和青少年組合所占領(lǐng)，因此這個(gè)音樂(lè)節(jié)就受到那些喜歡嚴(yán)肅音樂(lè)的人的巨大歡迎。

三Crazy for Music

我為樂(lè)狂

音樂(lè)節(jié)是眾多音樂(lè)愛(ài)好者宣泄情感的集中地，找到思想和情感上的共鳴，也正是由于參加者的無(wú)限熱情才使得這些音樂(lè)節(jié)在歷史上留下自己雋永的烙印，散發(fā)著獨(dú)特的魅力，成為永久的傳奇。我們也采訪了一些正在中國(guó)致力于音樂(lè)事業(yè)的人。喜歡音樂(lè)，所以接觸音樂(lè)，投身音樂(lè)，生命因?yàn)橐魳?lè)而精彩。

泰格唱片成立于2005年，是以發(fā)行獨(dú)立搖滾唱片為主的美國(guó)獨(dú)立廠牌。在美國(guó)洛杉磯和中國(guó)北京設(shè)有辦公地點(diǎn)。在北京成功舉辦過(guò)兩次獨(dú)立搖滾露天音樂(lè)節(jié)，并邀請(qǐng)眾多優(yōu)秀樂(lè)隊(duì)和個(gè)人演出。在2007年3月，泰格唱片為樂(lè)隊(duì)寂寞夏日和重塑雕像的權(quán)利舉辦美國(guó)巡演，并參加美國(guó)南西南音樂(lè)節(jié)。

Tag Team Records – Music， Music， Music

泰格唱片——做真正的音樂(lè)

Tag Team Records is a label dealing exclusively with Chinese indie groups. We talked to Matt Kagler， the manager， about the festivals this year and about the Beijing music scene.

泰格唱片是一家致力于中國(guó)獨(dú)立樂(lè)隊(duì)發(fā)展的音樂(lè)廠牌。我們和泰格唱片的總經(jīng)理Matt Kagler聊起了今年北京的音樂(lè)節(jié)以及北京的音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。

（BT代表雙語(yǔ)時(shí)代，M代表Matt Kagler。）

BT: So， who did you send to Midi this year?

BT：那么，今年你們有哪些樂(lè)隊(duì)參加了迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)？

M: We were going to send two bands， Random K/(e) and Arrows Made of Desire， but we didn't get involved in the end because everything kept being changed around – and there was no money in it. It was supposed to be at the larger venue， then they switched it to the Midi School at the last minute. Midi's the most disorganized piece of shit festival – and you can quote me on that – they'd run things better with a festival in Ulaan Baatar. Modern Sky was much better run， but we'd elected to do Midi because we thought it would be bigger. Lots of bands from lots of labels got caught that way. Modern Sky was great， though – they did a really good job with a limited area in Haidian Park， and created a really fantastic atmosphere.

M：我們最初計(jì)劃有兩支樂(lè)隊(duì)：Random K/(e)和“欲望之箭”，但因?yàn)橐磺欣鲜亲兓療o(wú)常所以我們最終沒(méi)有參加——并且都是些免費(fèi)出演。本來(lái)是希望在一個(gè)比較大的舞臺(tái)舉辦，但在最后一刻又改在了迷笛學(xué)校。迷笛是最混亂的音樂(lè)節(jié)——你可以引用我的這句話——他們?cè)跒跆m巴托的音樂(lè)節(jié)要有組織秩序得多。相比較而言摩登天空音樂(lè)節(jié)要好多了，但我們選擇了迷笛，因?yàn)槲覀冋J(rèn)為它的規(guī)模應(yīng)該比較大。很多來(lái)自不同廠牌的樂(lè)隊(duì)都有是由于這個(gè)原因才選擇迷笛。但摩登天空很棒——他們很好地利用了海淀公園有限的場(chǎng)地，并且營(yíng)造了極其出色的氛圍。

BT: So， what about the indie rock scene in China in general? Thriving， dying， how's it doing?

BT：那么，你怎么看待中國(guó)獨(dú)立搖滾的現(xiàn)狀？欣欣向榮、茍延殘喘，你是認(rèn)為它是什么一個(gè)局面？

M: Definitely thriving. For the first time I think we can really say that it's going somewhere. Of course， things have always been happening but now there's a galvinization， a lot of people doing a lot of hard work. Bands are really touring China now， a tour circuit's building up， whereas before there was a lot of weekend warrior stuff. Bands can work and potentially make real money now.We're starting to see brands jumping on too – Converse， Bacardi， big names. Good things are happening on the scene; I'm really excited about it.

M：當(dāng)然是生機(jī)盎然。我覺(jué)得這是我們首次可以真正說(shuō)有所成。當(dāng)然，事情總有意外，但現(xiàn)在它擁有巨大的感染力，很多人都在為之辛苦的工作。樂(lè)隊(duì)也開(kāi)始在中國(guó)巡演，建立了一個(gè)巡演路線，但在這之前大多是周末演出。樂(lè)隊(duì)現(xiàn)在的確開(kāi)始運(yùn)作也能夠賺錢(qián)。我們也期待著品牌的加盟——匡威、巴卡第，都是如雷貫耳的名字。好的事物正在發(fā)展，我對(duì)此感到非常開(kāi)心。

BT: Who do you think are likely to be the first Chinese bands to really breakthrough overseas.

BT：你覺(jué)得誰(shuí)有可能是第一支走出海外的中國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)？

M: It's hard to say. I'd say the most accessible Chinese group at the moment are Pet Conspiracy – they just toured Europe， they appeal to a lot of fans， they're very slick and cool. They're not on my label， so I'm being altruistic saying this! There's a lot of great music – at Tag Team we've got great music that could and has sold well abroad. I'd say there's about seven bands that could really make it big – Rebuilding the Rights of Statues， Lonely China Day， Snapline， they're great， Arrows Made of Desire. Carsick Cars are a great band developing an audience， though they're still a bit derivative. The huge success story at the moment is FM3， they've shifted 20000 units in the USA， more in Europe. But we'll see what happens.

M：這很難說(shuō)。我覺(jué)得現(xiàn)在最有可能的樂(lè)隊(duì)是“寵物同謀”——樂(lè)隊(duì)剛在歐洲巡演，吸引了大批歌迷，他們很具吸引力也很酷。他們不是屬于我們公司，所以我這么說(shuō)是很公正的。有很多好音樂(lè)——在泰格我們盡可能制作好音樂(lè)然后推廣到海外。我要說(shuō)有七支樂(lè)隊(duì)很有發(fā)展前途——像“重塑雕像的權(quán)利”、“寂寞夏日”、“粉筆線”還有“欲望之箭”都不錯(cuò)?！皶炣?chē)的車(chē)”是個(gè)很棒的樂(lè)隊(duì)，而且觀眾認(rèn)可度高，盡管還有一點(diǎn)模仿的痕跡?，F(xiàn)在最傳奇的是FM3樂(lè)隊(duì)，他們?cè)诿绹?guó)轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)2萬(wàn)多個(gè)地方，歐洲更多。對(duì)此我們將拭目以待。

BT: Thanks for talking to us， Matt!

BT：非常謝謝你接受我們的采訪，馬特！

M: No problem.

M：不客氣。

Lorenz是一個(gè)對(duì)音樂(lè)非常執(zhí)著的人，他愛(ài)極了中國(guó)的文化氛圍，并在鼓樓租下了一個(gè)四合院，精心布置，時(shí)常邀請(qǐng)三五個(gè)朋友來(lái)喝茶聊天，品嘗從樹(shù)上摘下的棗子，當(dāng)然，還有欣賞音樂(lè)。

My Music Life

我的音樂(lè)人生

I'm Lorenz Kirchner， from Goettingen in Germany， a small， beautiful town. In 1997 I moved to Manchester in the northwest of England， where I studied sound recording and founded a small music production business， which I still run. Later I also did a Masters in Management in London. In 2005 I moved to Beijing and have been living here ever since.

我是Lorenz Kirchner，來(lái)自德國(guó)一個(gè)美麗的小鎮(zhèn)哥廷根。1997年我搬到英國(guó)西北部的曼徹斯特，并在那里學(xué)習(xí)錄音并建立了一個(gè)小小的音樂(lè)制作室，現(xiàn)在它還在運(yùn)營(yíng)中。后來(lái)我在倫敦取得了管理學(xué)碩士。2005年來(lái)到北京，然后就一直生活在這里。

From a fairly early age I was interested in music technology and I started to make my first recordings as a teenager. After finishing high school I considered if I should study something sensible like medicine or engineering， or do what I am passionate about. Eventually I decided to the latter. I have been doing sound engineering and music production for almost 20 years now and it still is my favourite thing to do! During and after studying at University I had to take a few part-time jobs such as regular office jobs， and I really felt a lot of people were wasting their lives in such places. Some people loved this work， though， so I guess there is a suitable job for everyone. For me music is clearly the best choice.

在很小的時(shí)候我就對(duì)音樂(lè)科技很感興趣，并且在青少年時(shí)期制作了自己的第一張專輯。在高中畢業(yè)后我思索自己是要選擇比較實(shí)際的專業(yè)像醫(yī)學(xué)或者工程學(xué)還是追求自己的興趣所在。最終我選擇了后者。我已經(jīng)從事錄音還有音樂(lè)制業(yè)作近20年了，而且依舊激情不減。在大學(xué)期間以及畢業(yè)后我曾經(jīng)做過(guò)一些兼職，像一板一眼的辦公室工作，我深深感到很多人在那些地方只是在浪費(fèi)生命而已。不過(guò)也有人喜歡這樣的工作，所以我想每個(gè)人都有適合自己的工作。對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)，音樂(lè)無(wú)疑是最好的選擇。

My favourite music is quite varied. I love Lee Hazelwood， Songs Ohia， Tindersticks and Nick Drake as well as Fugazi， The Pixies， Deftones， System of a Down， or even Happy Mondays， Orbital， and the Chemical Brothers， so a whole range of different styles. For me it is important that bring across a specific idea very clearly - perhaps better， with more emotion， than words alone could. I have listened to the music of Xie Tian Xiao， and Muma and even though I can not understand the lyrics of the songs it seems to me that they deliver interesting thoughts in a unique way. Unfortunately my Chinese is not really good enough to evaluate Chinese songs. I am not a big fan of Chinese bands who sing in (bad / unintelligeble) English with perhaps some exceptions， like Hang on the Box.

我喜歡的音樂(lè)風(fēng)格迥異。像李#8226;海若伍、“桃金娘花之歌”、“易然物”、尼克#8226;德雷克、“弗格齊”、“精靈”、“亞聲調(diào)”、“體制崩潰”，甚至“快樂(lè)星期一”、“軌道”、“化學(xué)兄弟”，所以我喜歡的音樂(lè)類(lèi)型多樣。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)重要的是清晰地體現(xiàn)一個(gè)特別的思想——最好是文字所無(wú)法表達(dá)的情感。我也聽(tīng)謝天笑還有“木馬”的歌，盡管我聽(tīng)不懂歌詞，但我能感覺(jué)到他們?cè)谟靡环N獨(dú)特的方式來(lái)表達(dá)有意味的思想。可惜我的中文不是很好，無(wú)法評(píng)價(jià)欣賞中國(guó)歌曲。我并不是很喜歡用英文唱歌的中國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)，大多數(shù)英文不是很好，但也有例外，像“掛在盒子上”（由4個(gè)北京女孩組成的獨(dú)立搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)）。

I think in China a large percentage of music is commercial pop， which is generally produced cheaply and exploited commercially in many ways often in combination with high street brands. Some of these songs are also actually very well made， but actually this type of music really only represents a very narrow part of the cultural spectrum covered by \"popular music\". Rock， punk， heavy metal， hip hop， techno， jazz， RB， reggae， country， and many more styles are all part of what commonly is known as pop music. Since most of China's pop music is actually created by a small number of companies， most of which are located in Hong Kong or Taiwan， these other styles， perhaps， offer a good alternative for an increasingly aware youth to find their own identity. Maybe this is why they are so attractive to young people in China today. Other people might get bored by following the prescribed formula of bland music tailored towards selling products， which often lacks any musical thought or intelligence.

我覺(jué)得中國(guó)很多歌曲都屬于那種廉價(jià)生產(chǎn)然后用于多種商業(yè)用途像與大街品牌相結(jié)合的商業(yè)流行樂(lè)。雖然其中也不乏好歌，但實(shí)際上這種類(lèi)型的音樂(lè)只能代表一小部分被冠以“通俗歌曲”的文化范疇。搖滾、朋克、重金屬、嘻哈、數(shù)碼、爵士、RB、雷鬼、鄉(xiāng)村，還有一些其它類(lèi)型都是我們通常所熟知的流行樂(lè)。大部分的中國(guó)流行樂(lè)實(shí)際上是由少數(shù)香港或者臺(tái)灣的公司制作，這些類(lèi)型的音樂(lè)為日益有思想的年輕人認(rèn)清自我提供了一個(gè)很好的選擇?？赡苓@是那些歌對(duì)今天中國(guó)的年輕人如此具有吸引力的原因吧。其他有些人對(duì)于那些為了促銷(xiāo)商品根據(jù)既定模式而量身定做的樂(lè)隊(duì)歌曲感到厭煩，因?yàn)檫@些歌曲沒(méi)有音樂(lè)思想和智慧。

I moved to China because music is developing very fast here. These are the pioneering days for independent music companies in China， and we're seeing things， bands and performances， here which will become legends in the future. I can't think of any other place where the enthusiasm is so fresh and there is so much still left to do to develop all the organisations required to successfully foster independent artists from grass roots level all the way to superstardom. I feel luck that I can be involved in this process and with the Midi Festival we are right at the core of it!

音樂(lè)在中國(guó)發(fā)展迅速，所以我搬到這里。在中國(guó)有很多新興的獨(dú)立音樂(lè)公司正處于艱苦的創(chuàng)業(yè)時(shí)期，我們現(xiàn)在所看到的事物、樂(lè)隊(duì)還有表演在未來(lái)都會(huì)成為傳奇。我實(shí)在想不到還有其它什么地方有如此生機(jī)勃勃的熱情，這里需要太多成功培養(yǎng)從草根到超級(jí)明星的獨(dú)立藝術(shù)家的機(jī)構(gòu)，總之發(fā)展空間很大。我非常幸運(yùn)能夠身在其中，尤其是迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)正是精髓所在。

My current job at the Midi Festival is to make sure the sound of all the performances is recorded so it can be used to produce the live DVD of the festival. I am also responsible for providing the sound for the live broadcast of the festival which is used for the webcast and is also available to any interested broadcaster. I also help organize other aspects of the festival as required， such as dealing with sponsors and so on.

我目前在迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)的工作是確保演出的順利錄音，然后可以用此制作成音樂(lè)節(jié)的DVD。我還負(fù)責(zé)為音樂(lè)節(jié)的網(wǎng)上直播節(jié)目以及其它有興趣播放音樂(lè)節(jié)實(shí)況的廣播公司提供音效，。我還按照音樂(lè)節(jié)的要求來(lái)協(xié)助其它方面的工作，比如和贊助商協(xié)商等等。

I think the Beijing Midi Festival is unique because it has such a large passionate following from all over China， and it manages to capture a spirit of freedom and friendliness and variety that is hardly matched anywhere else in China and even in other countries. I have been to festivals in Europe which were technically great and featured brilliant performances but lacked this elusive vibe. The clostest festival to Midi I can think of might be the Glastonbury festival in the UK. I think Midi takes its appeal by focusing especially on the audience and being a young Chinesefestival rather than presenting glossy mega stars which have no connection to the audience.

我認(rèn)為北京迷笛音樂(lè)節(jié)與眾不同，因?yàn)樗鼡碛衼?lái)自全國(guó)潮水般澎湃的激情，并且緊扣著自由、友愛(ài)還有在中國(guó)其它地方甚至是其它國(guó)家都無(wú)法企及的多樣精神。我曾經(jīng)去過(guò)一些歐洲音樂(lè)節(jié)，它們技巧很棒，演出很精彩，但缺少了一種微妙的情感共鳴。我覺(jué)得和迷笛最相近的音樂(lè)節(jié)應(yīng)該是英國(guó)的格拉斯頓伯里音樂(lè)節(jié)。正因?yàn)槊缘咽莻€(gè)新興的中國(guó)音樂(lè)節(jié)，它專注于觀眾而非那些與觀眾毫無(wú)關(guān)聯(lián)的浮華明星們才使得它獨(dú)具魅力。

Rock music – or let's say alternative music， because it offers an alternative to the narrow mainstream， is still at an early stage in China. People are exploring and experimenting. There are bright sparks of talent here now， but I expect to see great things in the future. I don't think I could be anywhere else right now; it's a great honor to be here at this time and to help in these amazing discoveries.

搖滾樂(lè)——或者說(shuō)獨(dú)立音樂(lè)，因?yàn)樗峁┝艘粋€(gè)接近小眾的機(jī)會(huì)，所以在中國(guó)還處于萌芽階段。人們正不斷探索和實(shí)驗(yàn)。這里有眾多朝氣蓬勃的天才，我希望在未來(lái)能看見(jiàn)更偉大的事物。現(xiàn)在我覺(jué)得我不會(huì)去其它地方，此時(shí)在這里身處于這個(gè)時(shí)代，幫助這些奇妙的新興事物是個(gè)巨大的榮耀。

音樂(lè)公司和音樂(lè)制作人都對(duì)中國(guó)的音樂(lè)市場(chǎng)充滿信心，而活躍在北京城內(nèi)大大小小的樂(lè)隊(duì)們也在奮力追逐著自己的音樂(lè)夢(mèng)想。Gala就是其中之一。

Gala - Young For You

旮旯——為你年輕

名稱：Gala

風(fēng)格：Brit-Pop，Punk，Rock

成員:

Vocal：蘇朵

Bass：M

Guitar：趙亮

Drum：多多

“成立于2004年，當(dāng)年一身猴樣年華的小伙子們退卻了玩世不恭的銳氣，只是更愜意更自然的享受和音樂(lè)在一起的生活，主唱蘇朵及北京最長(zhǎng)情的貝司手M，攜兩名全新成員首次公開(kāi)亮相。4年的時(shí)間足夠發(fā)生很多改變，Gala的成員們過(guò)著單純的“只和一個(gè)女孩子談戀愛(ài)+白領(lǐng)的工作+音樂(lè)創(chuàng)作”的三點(diǎn)一線生活。選擇最淡泊的心態(tài)——young for you，生命的每一天都是張揚(yáng)的回勇之年！”

上面是來(lái)自Gala樂(lè)隊(duì)官方網(wǎng)站上的一段話。這個(gè)成立于2004年的北京本土樂(lè)隊(duì)以自己獨(dú)特的音樂(lè)魅力征服了無(wú)數(shù)歌迷的耳朵，而那首《Young For You》更是被大家所追捧，有朋友說(shuō)第一次聽(tīng)到他們的歌曲時(shí)就被那歡快的節(jié)奏、明亮的旋律、怪異的英文唱腔所吸引，驚鴻一瞥的感慨也不過(guò)如此。而當(dāng)我們見(jiàn)到全新的Gala樂(lè)隊(duì)成員——主唱蘇朵、貝司M、吉他趙亮、鼓手多多時(shí)就發(fā)現(xiàn)，其實(shí)青春、理想和堅(jiān)持就是這么簡(jiǎn)單。

在最開(kāi)始的自我介紹中，蘇朵就強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō)我不是主唱，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人都有演唱，所以他只算個(gè)歌手；而M則說(shuō)自己的名字太繞口，就簡(jiǎn)化簡(jiǎn)化再簡(jiǎn)化，最后就成了M；趙亮就對(duì)自己的發(fā)型發(fā)著牢騷，一直都不知道留什么發(fā)型，最后就成了現(xiàn)在這樣，已經(jīng)郁悶很久了；多多則留著一個(gè)爆炸頭，戴著副酷酷的眼鏡，存在感太強(qiáng)，以至于后來(lái)拍照時(shí)不得不讓他將身體后移，以免旁邊的人被自動(dòng)忽略。這就是現(xiàn)在Gala的四位成員。

在樂(lè)隊(duì)的發(fā)展歷程中經(jīng)歷了很多變動(dòng)，主唱蘇朵和貝司手M可以說(shuō)是樂(lè)隊(duì)的元老級(jí)人物，最初兩人出于對(duì)理想的追求和共同的音樂(lè)理念而組建了Gala，最開(kāi)始樂(lè)隊(duì)取名為“節(jié)日”，后來(lái)改成英文又覺(jué)得Festival太普通，而Fete和Feet太相似，最后確定用Gala，中文名是旮旯。從此蘇朵和M加上當(dāng)時(shí)的吉他手王子就開(kāi)始了Gala的音樂(lè)歷程。

“錄制第一張唱片的時(shí)候樂(lè)隊(duì)沒(méi)有鼓手，大家在唱片中所聽(tīng)到的鼓是由吉他手和貝司手兼任所打，還有就是一些朋友友情客串來(lái)幫忙，但他們都有自己的樂(lè)隊(duì)。如果能有一個(gè)訓(xùn)練有素的鼓手當(dāng)然更好，但由于種種因素的限制，所以一直沒(méi)有找到合適的，當(dāng)然現(xiàn)在我們找到了多多，在第一次見(jiàn)面的時(shí)候我們就被他的鼓技所征服。”主唱蘇朵一邊說(shuō)一邊看著多多笑。

“我是在網(wǎng)上看見(jiàn)他們招鼓手的帖子，也很喜歡樂(lè)隊(duì)的風(fēng)格，就來(lái)應(yīng)聘了。”而吉他手趙亮則是被Gala的音樂(lè)所吸引?！拔业谝淮问窃谑找魴C(jī)里聽(tīng)到他們的歌就很喜歡，開(kāi)始還以為是國(guó)外的樂(lè)隊(duì)，一查居然是北京的，感覺(jué)真的很不錯(cuò)?！逼渌麡?lè)隊(duì)成員打趣他是翻山越嶺、過(guò)五關(guān)斬六將趕來(lái)排練?！澳鞘且?yàn)槲耶?dāng)時(shí)住在延慶，很遠(yuǎn)，結(jié)果每次排練就跑很遠(yuǎn)的路?！弊罱K在2007年年底，Gala樂(lè)隊(duì)確定四名成員并以全新的面貌再次出發(fā)。

Gala的第一張專輯可以說(shuō)反響很不錯(cuò)，也為他們建立了良好的口碑。樂(lè)隊(duì)對(duì)音樂(lè)的駕馭和編排能力在專輯中體現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致，更多人都從中感受到了奔放的青春，而英文歌詞也是在當(dāng)時(shí)流行發(fā)展中國(guó)特色的樂(lè)隊(duì)中所不常見(jiàn)的，一句“but I know the sun will shine for us”讓太多人記住了他們。用DIY的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)界定，這張唱片幾乎無(wú)可挑剔，如果要說(shuō)粗糙，但也正是如此才凸顯了音樂(lè)、激情、青春的本質(zhì)?！拔覀兌际窃趫?jiān)持自己的音樂(lè)夢(mèng)想，而在這張專輯歡快的旋律中我們更多的是想表達(dá)一種憤怒和宣泄。至于使用英文是因?yàn)槲覀兊闹形墓Φ锥疾皇呛芎?，現(xiàn)在我們正在籌備第二張專輯，里面的歌曲都是中文，在未來(lái)我們也考慮出一張專輯分中英文兩個(gè)版本，也是雙語(yǔ)的形式了?！?/p>

四Live， Loud， and Chinese

音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)——躁動(dòng)的音符

現(xiàn)在在全國(guó)各地都有眾多的音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，多是在一些酒吧里，這些酒吧就成為中國(guó)以及一些國(guó)外地下樂(lè)隊(duì)表演的舞臺(tái)。北京這樣的表演現(xiàn)場(chǎng)更是眾多，只要你愿意，幾乎每周都有那么幾場(chǎng)精彩的表演，在那里聚集著一群喜愛(ài)音樂(lè)的人們。

Rock in China started in the 1980s， after Reform and Opening allowed a new artistic freedom， and young Chinese began to be able to obtain Western records， with pioneers such as Cui Jian producing striking albums. China's live-music scene didn't really began taking off until the late 1990s， though， as more venues began to spring up around Beijing. Previously performers had improvised gigs at bars or clubs not really designed for the purpose， or appropriated empty courtyards， but by 1999 there were a good dozen or more locations. Few of these survive today， but many of the groups and managers are still part of the Beijing scene.

在改革開(kāi)放允許全新的藝術(shù)自由后，上個(gè)世紀(jì)八十年代搖滾樂(lè)在中國(guó)開(kāi)始發(fā)展，中國(guó)的年輕人們逐漸接觸到西方的音樂(lè)，其中的一些先驅(qū)者像崔健制作了一系列著名的唱片。盡管越來(lái)越多的表演現(xiàn)場(chǎng)在北京涌現(xiàn)，但中國(guó)的音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)卻是到九十年代末期才真正發(fā)展起來(lái)。以前的表演者們是在酒吧或者俱樂(lè)部即興演奏，并沒(méi)有專門(mén)的表演場(chǎng)地，有些甚至是在空院子里，但到1999年就出現(xiàn)了越來(lái)越多的表演聚集地。其中少量存活到今天，但現(xiàn)在很多樂(lè)隊(duì)和經(jīng)理人依舊在北京音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的舞臺(tái)上活躍著。

Live performances have always been the bedrock of music， especially forms， like jazz and rock， that thrive on improvisation. The rapport built up with an audience can provide a creative energy that sparks a band to greatness. One of the criticisms levelled against manufactured pop groups such as Westlife and the Spice Girls has been that， since the members were put together by a record label and promoted straight to the big time， they lack the creativity and tension that working small live gigs helps a band form. Almost all the great groups， in contrast， were formed through the heady club experience， such as the Beatles' days in Hamburg and at the famous Cavern club in Liverpool.

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演一直都是音樂(lè)的基石，尤其是像爵士、搖滾，它們都是在即興創(chuàng)作上繁榮起來(lái)的。和觀眾之間的融洽關(guān)系成為促使樂(lè)隊(duì)走向偉大的創(chuàng)造源泉。這也是對(duì)于那些人為造就的流行組合像西城男孩、辣妹的指責(zé)之一，這些組合的成員們是被一個(gè)大型的音樂(lè)品牌拼湊起來(lái)然后直接推向巔峰，他們?nèi)鄙倭擞兄谝粋€(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)發(fā)展的、在小演奏會(huì)表演的創(chuàng)造力和張力。相反，幾乎所有偉大的樂(lè)隊(duì)都是從那些令人沉醉的俱樂(lè)部經(jīng)歷中走出來(lái)的，像“甲殼蟲(chóng)”在德國(guó)漢堡市以及在利物浦的洞穴俱樂(lè)部的日子。

For musicians， live music has also been one answer to the perennial problem of how to make a living out of their passion. Very few Chinese groups strike a successful record deal， especially those working in more radical styles， and piracy is rampant. The Chinese commercial music world is dominated by Cantopop and other twee， lifeless forms which many serious musicians view with contempt. Living off gigs， even though payments are often famously tight， can at least let a young band get by until they hopefully reach a wider audience. Some local record labels， such as Tag Team Records， have been founded to provide support for Chinese indie groups.

對(duì)于樂(lè)手們來(lái)說(shuō)，現(xiàn)場(chǎng)音樂(lè)也為他們提供了一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期存在的問(wèn)題——如何從激情中求生——的解決辦法。很少有中國(guó)樂(lè)隊(duì)能夠成功簽約唱片公司，尤其是那些激進(jìn)的音樂(lè)類(lèi)型，再加上盜版猖獗。如今，被一些嚴(yán)肅音樂(lè)家所唾棄的、無(wú)生命力的港樂(lè)以及其它類(lèi)型的音樂(lè)牢牢控制著中國(guó)商業(yè)音樂(lè)市場(chǎng)。盡管依靠演唱會(huì)為生所得的收入微薄，但至少它可以使一個(gè)年輕的樂(lè)隊(duì)在有更遠(yuǎn)大的發(fā)展前生存下去。一些本土廠牌，比如泰格唱片就致力于支持中國(guó)獨(dú)立樂(lè)隊(duì)。

Beijing is the definite centre of China's artistic and musical life， although the club scene in some other cities is smaller， but vibrant. Live music in Shanghai has never taken off to the same extent as Beijing， but there are still a few good places， catering both to foreigners and locals. Wuhan is known for a number of heavy metal clubs. Many Chinese cities， though， have virtually no serious music scene at all， partly because of the magnetic pull of Beijing to young bands， who often live hand-to-mouth or work other jobs in order to survive in the big city. The hard-hitting 2007 documentary Wasted Orient， by Kevin Fritz， shows one young group going through this.

北京無(wú)疑是中國(guó)藝術(shù)和音樂(lè)的中心，盡管在其它城市也有很多小規(guī)模但激情四溢的俱樂(lè)部。上海的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)音樂(lè)從來(lái)就沒(méi)有像北京的那樣蓬勃發(fā)展，但也有不少好去處迎合了外國(guó)人和當(dāng)?shù)厝说男枰?。武漢以一些重金屬俱樂(lè)部而聞名。也許很多中國(guó)城市沒(méi)有真正的音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)在一定程度上是由于北京對(duì)年輕的樂(lè)隊(duì)太有吸引力了，他們經(jīng)常是勉強(qiáng)度日或者做別的工作以求能夠在這個(gè)大城市生存下去。最具沖擊力的是2007年美國(guó)導(dǎo)演凱文#8226;弗里茨的紀(jì)錄片《亞洲搖滾樂(lè)的惡夢(mèng)》，它描述了一個(gè)年輕樂(lè)隊(duì)這樣的經(jīng)歷。

Still， Beijing music is thriving， and when it comes to the actual clubs， there's an abundance of choice nowadays. With new venues opening constantly， it's surely only a matter of time before Beijing's music scene produces a band which really makes it into the big time.

北京的音樂(lè)市場(chǎng)依舊生機(jī)盎然，當(dāng)提到真正的俱樂(lè)部時(shí)，現(xiàn)在有太多的選擇。新的音樂(lè)舞臺(tái)不斷涌現(xiàn)，北京的音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)要制造出一流的樂(lè)隊(duì)指日可待。

MAO Live House

地址：鼓樓東大街111號(hào)

MAO的外表與眾不同，沒(méi)有五顏六色的招牌，沒(méi)有燈光閃爍的喧囂，不仔細(xì)找就會(huì)在鼓樓大街上錯(cuò)過(guò)它。尤其是里面木質(zhì)的桌椅，還有年代久遠(yuǎn)到有些破舊的三洋黑白電視機(jī)，這些擺設(shè)完全不像一個(gè)音樂(lè)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。MAO自開(kāi)業(yè)以來(lái)不但邀請(qǐng)中國(guó)最前衛(wèi)的樂(lè)隊(duì)，還定期舉辦有意思的演出活動(dòng)。也正因?yàn)槿绱?，MAO一直叫囂著要成為“中國(guó)搖滾第一現(xiàn)場(chǎng)”。

愚公移山離MAO和星光現(xiàn)場(chǎng)都不遠(yuǎn)，演出眾多，也有不少國(guó)外樂(lè)隊(duì)，里面的環(huán)境明顯和MAO的定位不同，無(wú)論是設(shè)備還是環(huán)境都要好，當(dāng)然這是針對(duì)那些不喜歡太過(guò)于嘈雜環(huán)境的樂(lè)迷們來(lái)說(shuō)。

無(wú)名高地

地址：亞運(yùn)村安慧里1區(qū)14號(hào)樓

在成立之初，這是一家純軍事題材酒吧。每一個(gè)初來(lái)這里的人，都會(huì)被其略帶冷酷的陽(yáng)剛之氣所吸引。這里到處充滿了軍事色彩。這里的演出從重到輕一應(yīng)俱全，還有固定的駐場(chǎng)樂(lè)隊(duì)。

D-22

地址：北京市海淀區(qū)藍(lán)旗營(yíng)242號(hào)

這家酒吧位于北大和清華之間，有過(guò)很多國(guó)內(nèi)外的演出，在這里可以看見(jiàn)很多老外。而這家老板Michael Pettis曾在美國(guó)和中國(guó)經(jīng)營(yíng)獨(dú)立音樂(lè)廠牌，并曾在紐約開(kāi)設(shè)過(guò)一家非常知名的音樂(lè)酒吧Sin，并廣泛在紐約和北京的活躍地帶組織演出，頻繁為本地和國(guó)外的期刊寫(xiě)稿。

Pay For Carbon Emission

購(gòu)買(mǎi)碳排放量 自己污染自己埋單

為自己的碳排放自掏腰包埋單，這種環(huán)保的方式在國(guó)內(nèi)已經(jīng)開(kāi)始盛行。全球氣候變暖帶來(lái)的環(huán)境災(zāi)害正在明顯增加，以二氧化碳為主的溫室氣體是造成暖冬的“罪魁禍?zhǔn)住保瑴p排成了擺在人們眼前的迫切問(wèn)題。為了平衡各國(guó)利益，鼓勵(lì)減少二氧化碳排放，2005年生效的《京都議定書(shū)》為世界提供了一個(gè)“減排機(jī)制”：給每個(gè)發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家確定一個(gè)“排放額度”，允許那些額度不夠用的國(guó)家向額度富?；蛘邲](méi)有限制的國(guó)家購(gòu)買(mǎi)“排放指標(biāo)”。自此，人們可以像買(mǎi)賣(mài)股票一樣，在交易所里進(jìn)行二氧化碳排放權(quán)的交易。

在２００８夏季達(dá)沃斯論壇現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，“碳排放宣傳展臺(tái)”引人注目。為了降低碳排放、保護(hù)環(huán)境，今年的夏季達(dá)沃斯論壇首次鼓勵(lì)參會(huì)者自己出資，購(gòu)買(mǎi)來(lái)天津參會(huì)途中所造成的碳排放。年會(huì)結(jié)束后，論壇將把這筆收入用于植樹(shù)造林或其他減少碳排放的項(xiàng)目，例如向陜西榆林地區(qū)贈(zèng)送太陽(yáng)灶等。而WWF（世界自然基金會(huì)）也發(fā)起一個(gè)倡議，呼吁所有參加北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)的運(yùn)動(dòng)員通過(guò)購(gòu)買(mǎi)碳排放額度，抵消自己乘坐飛機(jī)所排放的二氧化碳，從而帶動(dòng)其他人減少旅行所造成的環(huán)境成本。

這一購(gòu)買(mǎi)碳排放的行為，也引發(fā)了部分人的擔(dān)心，有人就認(rèn)為，那些花了錢(qián)的人是否因此有贖了罪的心理，從此不加控制地排放？
