MTV HIVE: http://ppt.cc/F5YS 好巧不巧剛好看到mtv寫了這篇911專欄 American indie rock was in dire need of new energy in the early ’00s. It got a massive jolt thanks to the Strokes, who made New York's music scene the epicenter of cool for the first time in twenty years. By September, when the band returned from yet another round of massive U.K. shows, anticipation for their debut full-length, Is This It, had reached a fever pitch. The album had been scheduled for release on September 25th, but then the 9/11 attacks happened, and suddenly it didn’t seem like such a good idea for the city’s most beloved young band to release a tune with the lyric, “NYC cops, they ain’t too smart.” The band decided to remove the song “NYC Cops” from the LP (their press statement said they stood by the song, but didn’t like the timing), replacing it with the considerably less ass-kicking track “When It Started,” and delaying the album’s release until early October. A decade hence, “NYC Cops” remains one of the Strokes’ most revered songs and a staple of their live set. [翻譯] 2000年之後，美國獨立樂團及需要一鼓新勢力～當年 THE STROKES 就是以這股新勢力崛起。 2001年7月 THE STROKES 剛發行了他們的第一張專輯《Is This It》，不過黑膠專輯發行比較cd晚～美國發行日期是訂在9/25，在黑膠發行之前發生了911恐怖攻擊事件，恐怖事件對於美國，尤其是紐約市衝擊很大，原本放在專輯裡的"New York City Cops" 這首歌對於當時情勢太過敏感，尤其是“NYC cops, they ain't too smart.”這句，所以在發行美國版黑膠時，把"New York City Cops"換掉～用“When It Started,”這首取代～專輯也改到10月份發行，因此演變成為我們現在所知道的這張專輯有兩種黑膠版本封面與曲目。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.250.79.194
