The Music vs. Arctic Monkeys
2000 年，英倫搖滾樂壇來個大海嘯，幾乎推翻所有其他品種的音樂類型，它就是「無浪潮 No Wave」。它融合了 Retro、Old Skool、Post-Punk、Madchester、New Wave、Hard Rock 等元素，年輕的一群不想把自身的樂隊被人歸類，將自己說成是無浪潮的，啟動了一場音樂復興運動。Coldplay、The Strokes、The Vines、Doves、The Music 等樂隊就是當時的表表者，雖然有一些不是英國的樂隊，但在英國樂壇的影響力不可小看。
「無浪潮 No Wave」音樂類型是我最近聽得很頻密的曲風之一，當中我最欣賞的有 The Music 和 Arctic Monkeys。輕快的節奏讓人鼓舞，迷幻的聲音讓人沉醉；復古的噪音令人喜悅，墮落的精神讓人欽佩。
以下兩張專輯最近深深的迷住了我，在此跟大家分享一些有關的資料和感想。
先來談談 The Music 吧！剛推出新專輯「Strength In Numbers」的他們，音樂類型就如 Led Zeppelin 碰上 Disco 的結晶品，以 4/4 節拍式的電子舞曲鼓點配合 Groovy Riff 的吉他彈奏，再加悅耳 Sing Along Style 的 Chorus 部分，怎么不叫人深深迷上他們的音樂呢？
2002 年推出首張專輯「The Music」后驚動世界，以扣人心懸的歌曲，令人愛不釋手。2004 年推出第二張專輯「Welcome to the North」后，樂隊就停頓了下來，原因完全來自主音 Robert Harvey 的個人酗酒問題。Robert Harvey 在 2005 年成功告別酗酒問題，The Music 再次發出光芒，開始巡回演出及灌錄新專輯。
2008 年，「Strength In Numbers」誕生，由 Brandon O’Brien 操刀監制，音樂變得更扎實有力。主打歌「Strength In Numbers」更成為了新世代的革命及示威歌曲，音樂錄音及歌詞如下：
The emptiness that burns inside
See how they run see how they hide
All the animals come out at night!
All the animals come out at night!
Just a slave to the city
To indulge the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution
Strength in numbers
No one will come between us
The human use of human beings
Their emotions you fail to see
The adrenaline it burns a hole
The adrenaline it burns a hole
Just a slave to the city
To indulge the pity
The opaque substitution
For a real revolution
Strength in numbers
No one will come between us
他們的音樂讓我手舞足蹈，士氣高昂。我強烈建議大馬反對黨示威時播放他們的歌曲，讓出席示威活動的朋友可以興高采烈的跳舞。哈哈哈哈！只是個建議而已，Why so serious？The Music 即將在亞洲進行巡回演出，希望到時馬來西亞也將成為其中一站，到時可以盡情忘我地舞蹈著。
接下來談 Arctic Monkeys 吧！2002 年成軍的他們，在 2006 年推出首張專輯「Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not」，處女專輯銷量更突破了 Oasis 的處女專輯「Definitely Maybe」，成為了榜首冠軍，同時也獲獎無數。2007 年，推出第二張專輯「Favourite Worst Nightmare」，也一樣的有著傲人的成績。
到底他們是如何的這么成功呢？在早期時，Arctic Monkeys 在互聯網上讓人免費下載 DEMO 小樣，建立了鞏固的粉絲基層，更是網路音樂分享的樂隊鼻祖和表表者。
Arctic Monkeys 的曲風融合了 Punk、Old Skool、Retro 和 Ska，歌詞方面環繞著人文及社會現實主義等話題。英國的政客也超愛他們的音樂，更以他們的樂隊名稱及歌詞為演講話題。
一起來聽聽 The View From A Afternoon 的音樂錄影吧！
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns in hell
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit, no
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Ought you send her after nine o'clock
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before
And she won’t be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out around 3 o clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writers block.

浪氓樂隊主音蔡志賢 N 年前的短片作品，一部 18 分鐘的經典，同時也是他攻讀 MIA 的畢業作品，曾經得過不少好評。

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
上帝用了 6 天的時間制造天與地，而 Monty Python 只需有 90 分鐘就把它完全扭轉了！
你對生命有疑問嗎？如果你認真的去思考它的含義，而觀看了這部電影的話，你就中招了！這是一部超級無厘頭的黑色幽默電影，一部徹徹底底將「生命」胡鬧惡搞的電影。Monty Python's The Meaning of Life 主要分為許多個環節，既人生的數個階段和生命哲理。
電影開始的第一場戲，全球化大企業觀被戲劇化了，我稱它為「Pirates of the Corporation」。理由很簡單，導演將企業競爭演變成海盜戰爭，一看就明白，但與接下來的故事沒有任何瓜葛，只是一部分的小小插曲。
好了，電影正式開始了，魚缸里的幾條魚開始講話了。
Chapter 1: The Miracle of Birth，生命的開始。分為兩個故事描述生命開始的由來和價值觀。第一場戲，告訴你貧與富之間的成產，卻有著大大的不同。關于這方面，在宗教方面又有著怎樣的搞笑方式呢？第二個故事里，有著一首非常動聽和爆笑的歌曲「Every Sperm is Sacred」，肯定讓你哭笑不得。
Chapter 2: Growth & Learning，成長時期。老師在學校教育學生性教育，讓你笑翻天。人類對性的好奇，是成長的過程之一，也是終身的心靈寄托之一。
Chapter 3: Fighting Each Other，熱血方剛的年輕時代。主要諷刺英國政府的暴力、政治及高人一等的生活形式。從一戰的笑話到 1879 年的 Anglo-Zulu 戰爭，再次給你生命價值的啟發點。
然后就到了電影的中段，游戲時間，猜猜看魚兒藏在哪里。
Chapter 4: Middle Age，中年期間。人生到了某個階段，對很多事情已經麻木了，就如兩位美國夫婦旅游到一家餐廳享用晚餐一樣，對很多事情漠不關心，同時也諷刺美國人的無知。
Chapter 5: Live Organ Transplants，非常暴力的一場戲。展示暴力美學和諷刺政府/企業機構欺騙市民的故事，同時告訴你人類是那么的渺小。
Chapter 6: The Autumn Years，年邁階段。第一個故事是一個超級惡心的肥人享用午餐，非常惡心的一幕，展示人性丑惡的一面。第二個故事是清潔工人和男招待對生命的看法，實在無奈和寫實。
Chapter 7: Death，死亡。第一場戲，一場喪事，一個罪犯之死。第二場戲，死神出現，拿命時間，人類的貪婪和貪生怕死展露無遺。
電影結束，在電影中段出現的那位女人為你解答 The Meaning of Life。
看完后，覺得這部電影真的是無厘頭到極點，但又覆蓋著很重的娛樂性、諷刺和哲理在內。
你到底明白生命的意義嗎？不明白也不用緊，也不需要看這部電影來得到答案，因為它并不會為你帶來任何啟示和答案。你的生命，你自己來選擇和做決定，這就是 The Meaning of Life！
