<b>Ellen Amos "Baltimore"</b>
["Baltimore" single, 1980]
跟Carpenters简直有一拼。想不到当年十七岁的Tori如此清纯。(啊!这个词!)清纯得简直见了底:悠扬轻快的soft pop,为参加城市歌咏比赛而与哥哥Michael Amos合作写的公益歌,再由老父亲自压片,据说仅有十张成品。喏,是不是Tori迷的超rare必收?--虽然音质也是因此差得可以。听了几百遍,到底还是不知道Baltimore是啥州的城市。碟上所印之"MEA Records"甭以为是什么大公司哟,其实就是——"Myra Ellen Amos"!

It's so nice to live here
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
It's some place to call my own
It's all kinds of people
Familiar places, smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
But the 'Birds' are the best
The best of Baltimore
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
To enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore
The sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
In a working American city
With all the people who make it that way
It's time to jump in a taxi
For Thirty-third Street
Knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
Watching Weaver's Show
We like it here in Baltimore
There's so much love in Baltimore
Working hand in hand
To make this place a better land
In Baltimore
Love is what you'll find
So stop and take the time
I've got Oriole Baseball on my mind
On my mind in Baltimore

<b>Asteroid #4 "Poor Man's Falls"</b>
["King Richard's Collectibles", 1999]
典型的今日歌选择,鸡蛋里挑骨头--不是难挑,而是太好挑。除此无法取二。
Asteroid #4本来是新迷幻噪音吉他,但是找来Lilys核心人物Kurt Heasley来制作的第二张里居然有这么一筷爽口菜。
这感觉就像……在Lush的"Lovelife"里挑出"Olympia"般……

<b>Thingy "Big Dumb Animal"</b>
["To The Innocent", 2000]
Rob Crow爱腊鱼!!! 
Optiganally Yours迷怎么可以放过Thingy?
呃……好像是只说给我自己听的。:dull:
多狡猾的Indie。

<b>Miranda Sex Garden "Havana Lied"</b>
["Fairytales of Slavery", 1995]
还记得第一次捡到这盘打口时候那个卖东西的木讷的年轻人,忽然想起他来。时光……
回归正题,很久以后才知道这首“怎么跟别歌有点不同”的"Havana Lied"原来是翻唱,上世纪上半叶德国剧作家兼诗人Bertolt Brecht与最亲密搭档、作曲家Kurt Weill合作之经典之一,另有一名"Havana Song"。让考古资料这样一点,好像Katherine Blake也恍惚活在一百年前的剧院舞台上,两只枯手绞作时空隧道。可惜找不到德文原诗(词),触触来帮我听写出来,俺要唱!
