※ 引述《PartyHard ( Shadowplay)》之銘言： : Q: Are you happy with this record? : J: : [With Scott Walker producing it] : is littered with combinations that should have been great but aren't. : A mate of mine has this bootleg of Jim Morrison singing with : Jimi Hendrix in a bar in LA , and it just soulnds like some pissed-up : blokes mucking about. 哈哈哈;) 天才也有變回凡人的時候啦 : But he honed in on the atmosphere of each song and found ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : ways of bringing it out. : He illustrated our book. 沒錯！！！形容得真好>0<~ : Q: How did you feel singing in front of Scott Walker? : J: : I was terribly nervous. I'm not the biggest fan of my own voice. 啊...我們可都是你聲線的大歌迷呢... : But he was good. He encouraged me to sing out. 嗯我個人也是覺得這一張 Jarvis 的唱腔真的比較“放” 詮釋起某些歌多了一種“力量”而不再只有氣氛 : He didn't give me any specific tips like, : 'Drink camomile tea and take lots of deep breaths, 哈^^ : ' but he made me face up to my singing. 嗯^-^~ : My basic method in the past was to get semi-pissed, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 呵我們家的以前可能要 fully-pissed 才能唱哦^^ : certainly didn't like me being pissed and [made me focus] on getting the : performance right. 呵... : So I was more involved in it, rather than leaving it to somebody else to : sort out, and I realised I didn't have to be hammered to sing. 嗯真好...製作人真行... : Q : What do you feel about This Is Hardcore now? : J : : I think it's good. But it's not a record made by a contented people. 哦...「春宮電影」不是由滿足的人做出來的專輯...嗯當然... : It's a record about disillusionment. 哦哦哦形容的真好... : There was a lot of pressure, but this time there was no pressure, : really, because nobody was arsed! : We could have easily said, Let's not make another record. : We had to ask, Do we want it to be such a laborious, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : painful process again? And none of us did, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 嗯創作過程的甘苦真不是常人能了解體會的呢... : Q: Weeds, on the new album, We Love Life, is about people on the margins : being exploited by pop culture. Is that how you felt? : J: : The thing that can be really demoralising about getting some kind of : success is that people, and I certainly did this, : start a group because they're marginalised and it gives ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : them something they're in control of, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : their little fantasy world to escape into. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 嗯被邊緣化的族群通常會尋找僅能在控制下的東西然後遁入一個小小自成一格的幻想世界 : Then, if you do make a breakthrough, : it's taken away from you, it becomes something that's marketed : and sold and you feel like you don't own it anymore, : you feel like a bit of a caricature of yourself. : I think stuff comes from poor backgrounds and then gets exploited by people : and [the originators] don't get any benefit from it. 但是一旦你想掙脫這個世界回到現實主流的世界僅能在控制下的東西就會被奪走販賣而你自己不僅失去了這獨家的東西，也等於是被商業化剝削得不到任何好處... : Q :How much does your job involve Jarvis the pop star feeding : off Jarvis the person? 呵這個問題真有趣...Jarvis 如何在明星公眾的自己和私下的自我取得平衡... : J: : That's OK, as long as you realise that your life comes first and : that anything that you create comes from that. : If music becomes your career it shouldn't become your life. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^是哦... : Life is like the car, and your art, or whatever you produce, : is a caravan, and as long as the car's in front of the caravan you can go : places.The other way round, you're not going anywhere. 嗯要讓自己的生活領在前頭而非附加的價值成就 : Q; Is being in a band a neat way of prolonging adolescence? 哈這個記者真尖銳耶...待在一個樂團是讓青春期延長的一個好方法嗎？ : J: : Definitely. A bit sad, seeing as I'm 38. : I never wanted to grow up anyway, so this was a perfect career choice : for me. 哦^-^~...Liam 也說過 "Growing up is a sin..."，視長大變老為一種罪過... 嗯我們都不想呢... : One day I'd like to have children. : It seems unnatural not to, but I worry sometimes that I'm getting a bit : long in the tooth. 呵... : You know, it might be handy to be around to watch them grow up, : rather than shoot your load then die. 嗯責任重大吧... : Q:Do you listen to your own music for pleasure or read your fan sites : on the net? : J: : No, I bloody don't. No way. 哈歌迷恐怕要失望了;) : Q:Do you think the 1982 Jarvis would like what you're doing now? : J: : I had a weird experience on the motorway about three months ago. : I was driving my van and there was a yellow Hillman Imp : in front of me. I used to have one of those, : and so when I overtook it - and they're so shit anything can : overtake 'em - I looked to see who was driving, : and there was this kid with specs on, : just sinking his teeth into a Ginster's Cornish pasty, : which is exactly the kind of behaviour that I would have been involved in. 哈哈哈哈哈自己笑人家卻又想起以前自己一樣的蠢樣哩^^ : It was only like a flash as I went past, : so I'm not saying, I drove past myself on the motorway in a former existence, : but it was really weird, and got me thinking about whether : I would like myself now or whether I would even recognise what I am. : Actually, maybe the 1982 version of myself would be impressed with me, : but I would find him really irritating. 呵...十幾年前的自己大概會對現在的自己刮目相看吧... : I'd say, You need to grow up a bit, mate, you need to get all : that out of your system and sort yourself out and you might end up being : not a bad person. At the moment you're all right, you're reasonably funny : sometimes, but you're irritating. There was this thing when I had to move : house once,I was packing stuff up and I saw this picture of myself on : the cover of a magazine,I think it was Select, and I looked at it and thought, : Who is this twat? I suddenly didn't recognise myself and thought, 哈哈哈哈哈 who is this twat? 你自己啊;) 相信大家多少都有這種面對過往的自己錯愕驚訝的經驗吧... : Is that really what you want people to think you're like. : That was the dawning of a realisation that I'd over-exposed : myself doing things that weren't what I was meant to be doing: : presenting Top Of The Pops or being a rent-a-quote. : Allowing that celebrity thing to undermine the fact that we make music. : My intentions were honourable, though, your honour. 嗯我相信你...該是回頭重新檢視成名的後遺症以及回歸音樂和自我了... : All that 1995 thing was about marginal stuff suddenly finding its way : into the mainstream, and I thought in a naive way that it was going to : make a difference, that things were going to change. A year or two later : I realised that instead of you changing the mainstream, : the mainstream's changing you. So I made a conscious decision to back off. 整段翻一下好了：「九五年那一段完全像是邊緣另類的東西突然間找到進入主流的道路，而我天真的以為這將會令一切不同，整個生態會改變。但經過了一兩年我了解到是主流改變了你，而非你改變了主流。所以我下了個清醒的決定要蟄伏退出一陣。」 : I'm more comfortable now with the idea that you can produce stuff in your : own little area and not get too hung up and whether all the world thinks : it's great. 嗯本來就是這樣吧不過一旦你晉身過主流的行列要再覺悟這一點是比較不容易的畢竟你的音樂受過全世界幾十萬人幾百萬人甚至幾千萬人的熱愛要說完全不在乎未免矯情了...只不過真的要調適之後做音樂的心態吧 : Q:What do you fancy doing next? : J: : Are you asking me out? 哈 Jarvis 還真幽默哩...記者是女的哦^^ : Q:What's the biggest misconception about you? 哦這問題讚...別人對你最大的誤解是什麼？ : J: : That I'm miserable. : In the last few years people seem to have decided that I'm miserable. : And I'm not. 哈原來 Jarvis 並不如我們一貫加油添醋移情作用的那麼“慘綠悲慘”哦;) Cheers! 這期 Mojo 真值得買耶 Patsy "Gallagher" -- When everybody agrees with me, I think I must be wrong. --Oscar Wilde -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.56.206.43
