Patrick Jones [Commemoration and Amnesia(1999)]

[나는날고싶다]

페트릭 존슨이 99년도에 발매한 앨범입니다.

그가 쓴 시를 직접 읇고 배경음악을 웨일즈 출신의 뮤지션들이 작업했다고 하네요.

시와 음악의 만남...특이한 형식인데 이걸 무슨장르라고 해야하는지.ㅋㅋ

매닉스도 한곡정도 같이 작업했다고 합니다.

페트릭의 목소리는 니키의 목소리와 참 비슷 해요. 그죠?ㅋ

이 사실을 이번에 처음 알게 되었는데 신기해서 올려보아요

Commemoration And Amnesia

At the end of the century, people, as we know, go Mad. This, quite often, is a good thing. A hundred years ago, Parisian fop-hearts lounged over lecterns, drank absinthe and 'spoke' 'easy' about the Apocalypse, art and The Meaning Of It All. In 1999, it's back, it's still fuelled by absinthe, it's called London's Trendy Literary Event and it's single-handedly replaced the rock'n'roll amp with the pansy poet's plinth as the launch pad for Something To Say.

In the year tots' pop eats the grown-ups' words for liquefied breakfast, it's a thrillsome idea and Patrick Jones, being the so-called Beat Bard Of Blackwood, as well as Nicky Wire's brother, has nothing to do with any of it except timing but that, as we also know, can be everything. Thus, 'Commemoration And Amnesia', Pat's debut spoken-word affair, is a literary event in itself - and a musical one featuring soundscapes from members of the Taffioso including James Dean Bradfield (searing Manics melancholia) Cerys Catatonia (celestial wafting) Gruff and Cian Super Furry (respectively spirited rhumbas and quavers from the planet Clangers).

And, by gum, it's grim. Grim in the Celtic, we're-all-doomed way, 22 gloom-art paeans to the modern malaise that deems we're all staggering through futile lives on the woodwormed stilts of apathy, servility, false hope, First World 'paradise syndrome' and the ad-led, media-fed, spiritually-bereft lie of consumerism. And the telly is the Devil and so is Daz.

"And we watch," it begins on 'Their Life On Their Heads' (over a landslide of orchestral import, by Manchild), "in our safe homes through Marks & Spencer'd curtains at the unfolding of another celluloid tragedy... how terrible, how sad, aren't we lucky? ...A diet of nothingness, a few grains of rice... while we choose plastic surgery to remove our third chin."

It's the Truth, certainly, but it's certainly not a new one. Neither is the news that the Lottery is a lie, expounded here seven separate times seething, "it could be you", plus endless spittoons filled with factory life, Enola Gay, alcopops, irony, drugs, war, fascism and "these corpse-ridden streets of carpet warehouses".

Oh, and "to live in Wales is to be constantly aware of death". We're shivering, in fact, under the ice-crusted bed sheet of an old-skool Manics fan enduring a nightmare about being strangled by the flailing entrails of the dying century where greed is god, we're surrounded by idiots, the world is fucked and so are you. Which is all said with infinitely more unique, graceful and terrifying emotional connection in the lyrics of 'The Holy Bible'. And some of it in the first 30 seconds of Trainspotting.

At the end of the 20th century, when we've more stuff to hate than we've ever had before, a revolution might be something to actually love. And when you know you're going to die, you need something to help you live. Poetry, then; it's the new, er, techno-goth music about hell. Can we go dancing now please?

[닉슨]

목소리 정말 비슷하네요.. 올려주신 게릴라 태피스트리 진짜 맘에 드는데요?!!! 제임스 기타 억... 아래 영상에선 살짝 리암 니슨도 닮아보여요ㅋㅋ

[나요]

진짜요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 누구 닮았다 생각하고 쭉 내렸는데 아주 살짝 리암 니슨이...!!

[나는날고싶다]

누군지 찾아봤는데 판박이네요 판박이!ㅋㅋ
노래가 아주 긴장감이 있죠.ㅋ
생소하지만 괜찮습니다.ㅋㅋ

며칠 전에 실비아 플라스의 생애를 다룬 <실비아>라는 영화를 봤는데요, 거기서 실비아 플라스랑 테드 휴즈랑 등등 시인들이 저런식으로 엄청 격정적으로 시를 낭송하던 거 보고 살짝 문화충격 받았거든요ㅋㅋ 패트릭존스가 저렇게 음악에 맞춰 시를 읽는 모습을 보니 그 생각이 나네요 :)
음악과 시가 합쳐진 음반이래서 굉장히 생소하게만 느껴졌는데 은근 평이 좋아서 좀 놀라웠었는데 직접 들어보니 좋은 평 들을만 하군요ㅋㅋ 저도 전화하는 목소리만 들으면 거의 다들 구분 못할 정도로 동생이랑 목소리가 비슷한데.. 니키랑 패트릭 존스 목소리도 만만치않게 비슷한데요?

[나는날고싶다]

피는 못 속여요.ㅋㅋ
그렇지만 개인적으로는 아주 부러운 형제입니다.
두 형제가 저렇게 같은 맥락의 삶을 사는게 좋아보입니다.ㅋㅋ
