近年来,似乎每个能够在处理器上按下键的所有有抱负的作家都感受到了在告诉蜂师故事讲述的尝试。雷竞技ios下载这些作家中的许多作家都巧妙地绕过了整个研究阶段,并猛烈地围绕着一个故事,偶尔会突然出现,他们偶尔会遇到令人愉悦的半烘烤结果。
来自这些潮湿的手册的乖张享受的美国人应该为严重的失望做好准备 - 迈克巴里斯不仅可以写作,而且他也知道他在谈论什么。
放在一边,这是一个奇妙的阅读。雷竞技ios下载队长Beefheart讲述了他的出生的魔法队员的故事(“我记得每一点。我记得当Jerk打了我的屁股时......而且我以为唤醒某人的方式是什么样的地狱”)他作为抽象表现主义画家的当今职业生涯概述,结束了不考虑不可行的健康和自我施加的孤立的不可行的谣言。
在迈克巴里斯开始写这本书的四年半的时间里,在Beefheartland发生了一团糟。As Don has become increasingly less willing to speak on the record about his musical past (or, indeed, anything at all), his old colleagues have started to feel that the time is right to present their side of the story, often refuting Don’s claim to sole compositional credits for their music and highlighting the insufferable lifestyle that was imposed on them at certain stages of the band’s career. Consequently, this is a very different story from the one which would have appeared had it been published a couple of years ago.
这对许多牛肉粉丝来说是一个有争议的问题。由于船长无限的幽默,魅力和独特的个性赢得,很难接受或理解他性格的表现因素已经开始出现的问题。作为他毫无疑问的俏皮SOD,牛肉在访谈中(然后与许多未经临界记者相关的逐字)讲述的故事经常被幻想包裹,而不是事实,旨在造成自己的传说。Beefheart故事对两侧的矛盾持有这么多的矛盾,整个纠结的混乱阻挡了对未经公开的真理的道路往往是不可能的。
幸运的是,对于我们来说,Mike Barnes已经对故事带来了认真的偶据方法,弯腰既不是他的叙述中的一方也不是另一方。Although the book poses many unanswered questions of its own, in illustrating these hazy patches of history Barnes has skilfully enabled the reader to avoid getting bogged down in the bullshit while finding out what the bull ate (if I may paraphrase one of Van Vliet’s oft quoted aphorisms). The book does not shy away from illustrating the more negative aspects of Van Vliet’s ornery disposition, nor is it making any attempt to dish the dirt on someone no longer willing to explain or defend his actions. Instead we get a strikingly balanced and palpable attempt to tell us the truth behind the ‘legend’, while also covering the legend in all its glory, with all its gory details.
抛开音乐,这是Beefheart'传奇',这可能是整个故事中最令人迷人的方面。何种思想中的任何人都可能接受Van Vliet一年的醒来,只是因为他需要使用每次备用艺术的每一刻?令人惊讶的事实是,人们做了一半相信这些不可能的故事,我们显然必须拒绝在后古。我们不是吗?对于每一个不可能的故事,似乎有一个人在某处确认实际上,它可能在毕竟被声称的牛肉声称或多或少地发生了。在他试图在一些外表的理由中挖掘整个故事并在一个理性的情况下,巴恩斯并没有将梦幻,奢侈和其他世俗的品质减少到令人畏惧的生命和音乐一体。这就是我的书是最大的成功。
整个细节的关注是非常令人愉悦的,Barnes提供了一个令人着迷的分析和支持乐队输出最琐碎的方面的轶事。例如,作为注册的arachnophobe,在魔法乐队的鳟鱼面膜复制品上的臭名昭着的镜头在最魔法的草地上的仿古桥一直困扰着我。While the picture is utterly perfect, I know that had I been John French I would sooner steal softly through seven shades of snow rather than snuggle down with every resident spider housed beneath the bridge, thus destroying an important part of the album’s singular and arresting packaging. It was a revelation of biblical proportions to discover that I am not alone in this aversion. There wasn’t enough room on the bridge for the full band, so John French had to tuck himself away underneath as all the others were too scared of the eight-legged creatures lurking below to consider venturing down into the alien depths.
阅读越来越多的访谈和关于队长的山羊,诸如这些读取的小型比赛,如此让这本书所以非常有益于阅读和巴恩斯,始终如一地避雷竞技ios下载免再踩踏旧地面而不为熟悉的故事带来新的东西。这本书无疑将呼吁任何对牛夫霍特队和魔法乐队的音乐和生活感兴趣的人,从对痴迷于痴迷的奉献者来说;雷竞技ios下载所有人都没有保证读取岩石和卷最有趣的冒险之一的卓越账户。
