Re: [閒聊] Graham quotes (1)
※ 引述《cherified (榭俐霏)》之銘言:
: 這篇文章也是從上面那個古老的網站中抓來的!!
: 資訊還是一樣跟現在有點落差喔,有請三劍客幫忙更新補完啊!!! (拜)
: 原本想要一次貼完的,但是批踢踢好容易當機喔,我的批幣都飛了 T T
: 所以還是分個兩三次貼好了
版主辛苦了。本來想幫忙把每句都翻成中文,大家讀起來比較輕鬆,
可是這些句子實在太 多 啦!!所以我也發表一點感想就好... 囧
: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
: Not only can Graham play the guitar and shitloads of other instruments, sing,
: write and paint, he also HAS LOTS TO SAY !
: 1. "I bought Cinnamon and Golden Grahams and these indie kids in the shop
: laughed at me. It was funny but embarrassing."
: (綿羊何不用你的大牙反咬回去呢!!! 噢不年少時期可是很以和為貴的,
: 可能是難搞的綿羊基因尚未突變,也有可能後來才進入擬態模式??????)
當時的情況他應該只是覺得很害羞又很好笑吧 XD
Golden Grahams長這樣
http://tinyurl.com/n3cmgb
: 2. (If you had a superpower what would it be ?) "The US. I'd make it small
: enough to fit in my spare room. Then George Bush would be ant sized and I'd
: put him in a matchbox so he couldn't come out."
: (葛拉拉是個美國小孩,具體點說應該是德裔美國小孩
: 他除了穿衣風格稍稍英國以外,還是比較像德國人跟美國人!!!)
他是標準英國小孩。
葛拉爸是駐德國的軍樂隊,所以小葛拉出生後在德國待過幾年,
他過世的爺爺教過他講一點德文,除此之外他跟一般英國小朋友沒兩樣。
: 3. "Being a dad is amazing, yeah. That's where I'm learning more about me
: than anywhere else, from this little girl who doesn't really know what is
: happening in the world. Doesn't know anything. She's helped me become the
: emperor of myself really."
: (潛在的 control freak!!)
沒有控制狂這麼嚴重啦 XDDD
養育女兒那種被需要的感覺,讓他感受到自己也有照顧別人的能力,
這點讓一向缺乏自信且生活一度失控的葛拉稍微找回信心。
: 4. (What do you think of the Gorillaz stuff?) "That's a tough question.
: (long pause) And now I'll leave it at that! No, it's cool, Damon's doing his
: thing, and he needs to do his thing. We all do. You know, I don't expect
: anybody to particularly like my stuff. And I think that's the healthiest way
: you can make music really, not expecting people to like it."
: (這應該是有點年紀以後說的話了,標準的後期訪問風格
: 不過gorillaz也是要到葛拉拉三十歲以後才比較上軌道不是嗎:P)
: 5. (Are you pissed off with Gorillaz becoming more popular than Blur?)
: "No i'm not, although i'd like to know who's buying Gorillaz. But it's good
: because it's Damon's. He's doing what he wants to do. I think it's obviously
: going to be more popular than Blur stuff because it's of a substandard nature
: to Blur stuff. The music is pretty good but the more popular a thing is in
: this country, the more rubbish it is. It'd be best if people listened to
: simpler music, stuff that resonates more soulfully."
: (同上,但他也間接承認大門猴是blur的主導人)
嗯,Gorillaz我也很喜歡。他們在英國以外真的比Blur紅很多,
在Youtube甚至有人把Gorillaz MV配上Song 2,引來路人問
"這首歌是誰唱的?聲音怎麼那麼像2D?"
: 6, "I'm squeamish about seafood. I can't pull the heads off shrimps and
: things like that ; get me fingers all mucky in their eggs and peel the armour
: off. I dont like that."
: (蝦很好吃耶@@ 可惜了葛拉拉)
他還是很愛吃海鮮,只是吃起來笨手笨腳,而且還吃到食物中毒。(遠目)
: 7. (Do you have any phobias ?) "I used to not be able to walk up Parkway
: (busy Camden thoroughfare). I'd completely avoid it because I thought people
: would be making comments about me. I suppose that's what comes with being a
: slightly recognisable figure around here, you wonder what people are gonna
: be saying. "
: (戴口罩跟帽子不就好了!!即使很怪,那就太陽眼鏡吧,好像也挺怪的齁!)
英國似乎不流行變裝那套?
葛拉那麼害羞又很介意別人對他的看法,難怪都宅在家上網。
: 8, (If you were Prime Minister, what would you do ?) "Change the national
: anthem to nothing. I don't like nationality."
: (很不英國的一面)
他只是對政治化的議題不感興趣。
: 9. (Are you good in bed ?) "Absolutely. Not. I'm very good at sleeping.
: I go to sleep very quick. I don't know about shagging. I can be good,
: i can be awful. I think i'm quite selfless."
: (葛拉拉有一個傾向:回答不想回答的問題都會spaced out!! 亂講一通)
他不是故意的,離題太遠+碎碎唸是他的風格。XD
這個應該表示他在床上比較投入於配合對方...
版上可以出現這種話題嗎?!(羞)
: 10. "Graham's fans seem to be really fucking mad. Alex fans just seem to be
: mad. The classic fanbase of people that like Damon are completely fine.
: I just seem to attract complete nutters."
: (讓我想到大門猴曾經說"葛拉拉的fans都會想吃了他"
: 烤羊肉真的不錯啊~~羊肉爐也很好吃~~)
綿羊何時變成官方外號了?(爆)
如果常去Blur官方討論區的人應該不難發現,葛拉常有超級熱情的粉絲,
這些粉絲的ID不外是Graham's Angel, Graham's Chic, Miss Graham之類,
特別是南美洲粉絲示愛相當激烈 XDDD
他的亞洲粉絲也很多,表達方式比較傾向普遍級。
: 11. "The obsessive psychos that are our original fanbase, you know,
: they're the ones I like... Our original audiences, they're the people
: I'm the most fond of, not the people who just do what the TV tells them
: to do."
: (fashion is doing the things you're told, innit? by吉他手06四月號)
葛拉拉說過,厲害的粉絲連他在小地方彈錯都會發現,
有次他還很開心地說這些專業粉絲很變態(當然是葛式稱讚)。
: 12. "I think it's better if blokes can admit that they can have crushes
: on other blokes. I've probably had crushes but never really sexual crushes
: on men."
: (葛拉拉對男人沒有幻想!!!大叔fans要哭哭囉)
錯,他對男人常常有幻想!...... 我開玩笑的...吧。
此人前陣子才對Kevin Ayers大發花癡,
還在自己的討論區宣佈Ayers是他最新一任老公,(可見還有前幾任呢)
並且把簽名檔換成Ayers帥照一張。在家邊泡澡邊聽Ayers的歌... 嘖嘖。
難怪大叔們都要用雄厚的聲音對他示愛:Graham You're so great!
他(也)喜歡女生啦,大家別誤會。
: 13. "I crapped on my jumper. I wanted to poo and I forgot it was tied around
: my waist. I had to throw it into someone's garden."
: (好噁心XDDDDDDDDDD)
這個是在講他第一次喝醉的經驗,大便大在毛衣上。笨蛋 XDDDD
: 14. "Being run over is quite scary,actually - You have that split second when
: you say 'ooh, crikey!' shut your eyes, grit your teeth and bounce off the
: bonnet. I had to ask a copper if I was dead."
: (這個在訪問葛拉拉代言cordings那篇報導裡面有!!
: 其實想起來那場景應該還頗無腦的...年少輕狂啊)
他被車撞過兩次,兩次都是都是喝醉的狀態下不小心被撞,
還有媒體亂揣測他可能想輕生,不過葛拉說兩次都純屬意外。
: 15. "I'm trying to learn skateboard at the moment. I tried to skate in
: bare feet, bad idea. I completely cut up my toes."
: (好吧我相信你曾經是滑板男孩,但老了別再做這種事情啦免得骨頭散掉!!)
以前他會在休息室溜過來溜過去,Alex那時候躺在地上睡覺,貼了一張紙條:
"警告葛拉:不准在我頭旁邊溜滑板!敢吵醒我的話
我就把那塊該死的滑板折斷丟出窗外!"
葛拉將興趣轉到玩重機已經好幾年囉,30歲以後玩滑板可能要忍耐別人異樣的眼光。
不過上次他接受NME採訪,房間的書桌底下還是放著一個滑板。
: 16. "Spiders are cool but I'm still scared of them . But I don't kill them."
: (可以想像他看到蜘蛛尖叫的畫面嗎!!!!
: 或是他可以跟蜘蛛說: oochy woochy XDDDD)
昨天有人在他討論區貼了一張蜘蛛照片,他哀號:
"那是什麼外星來的鬼玩意!把照片拿掉,不然我只好拿掉我的眼睛!"
: 17. "My old flat is covered with carcasses of mosquitos all over the walls
: because I never bothered to clean up , as a warning."
: (the god of mess-ups again)
把蚊子屍體留在牆壁上以警告其他蚊子 ----
不知道該說他很可愛還是很邋遢。
: 18. "I'm a Christian without God. I'm an agnostic erection boy.
: Whatever that means... Barman! Barman!"
: (他只相信酒神dionysus吧!!)
他沒有特別信什麼教,對於未知的力量持寧可信其有的態度,
他相信世界上有小精靈和小仙子,還在花園幫他們小蓋房子。 XD
: 19. "I'm perfectly charming and then at the point where I start forgetting
: what's happening I get drunk and that's when I turn into a horrible bastard."
: (在喝醉以外的時刻我都是很迷人的唷~啾咪!!!)
清醒的葛拉對外是個禮貌的好孩子,對熟人意見比較多,難以取悅,
有點醉意的葛拉會搞笑也特別活潑,爛醉的葛拉是個恐怖的神經病。
: 20. "You have to learn to keep your mouth shut when you have to get any
: drinks in."
: (有加菲貓的感覺)
有段時間他就是學不乖,酒來張口。那是他逃避現實的方式。
: 21. (about alcohol) "Chocolate does the same thing to your happy centres.
: But you can't have ten Mars Bars and be rolling around on the floor insulting
: people and shouting and crying for no reason. Which is a shame. Heheheh."
: (巧克力比起酒來還是略遜一籌因為他不會使你醉orz)
食用巧克力跟酒都會讓人快樂,但是吃再多巧克力都沒辦法讓你在地上打滾
邊罵人邊大哭大叫借酒裝瘋,這是巧克力可惜之處,嘿嘿。
真令人傷腦筋啊,葛拉。
喔對了,他很喜歡吃巧克力這類甜食。
: 22. "If I was one of my friends, Graham Coxon would be the person I most
: likely saw stopped drinking."
: (一度曾經是不可能的任務啊)
幸好現在戒了。他還活著真是個奇蹟,希望他繼續保持下去。
: 23. "When I started to swear at furniture, I knew it was time to stop drinking"
: (XDDD 家具跟人傻傻分不清楚)
那畫面還蠻好笑的,此人是個爛酒鬼。
: 24. "Cynicism is something I really dislike, and the thing about becoming
: soberer and clearer is that a lot of cynicism disappears. I don't want to
: be a bloke who shies away from emotion."
: (這段話有很怪的矛盾)
不曉得這段話有沒有漏字...
他的意思大致是說葛拉個性很直,遇到討厭的東西喜歡直接反應意見,
喝醉的他可以盡情取笑不喜歡的事物,可是沒有酒精的幫助,
生性害羞的葛拉無法暢所欲言,他不喜歡這樣害羞的自己。
(我看他在討論區酸人酸得倒是很開心呀 XDDD)
: 25. (on being asked whether he'd quit drinking for good)
: "I still drink non-alchoolic drinks"
: (比方說紅牛提神飲料啊)
還有可口可樂啊... 咖啡,還有加了糖的茶。
: 26. "When you drink and smoke you kind of float around.
: That's why these straight-edge bands are so uptight. I couldn't imagine
: being teetotal forever. I like to be a bit of everything. Yeah, I am drinking
: at the moment, but not too much."
: (葛拉拉應該會很嚮往中國式的神遊太虛幻境,oh such an oriental touch!!)
小酌幾杯無傷大雅。
: 27. "Me giving up drinking was like a miracle."
: (i cannot agree more!)
: 28. "We used to drink so much. I'd have a bottle of wine under the chair
: my amp was sat on and I'd swig my way trough that."
: (感覺很像捷運上偷吃檳榔的大叔!!!!)
整團都很愛喝,他跟大門在95年以前常常在台上爛醉,特別是美國巡迴期間。
: 29. "Jack Daniels makes us all puke."
: (哈哈哈)
: 30. "I don't like drugs - never liked drugs. I'm not a very good creature
: for things like that, I haven't got enough confidence."
: (其實是怕吸毒人會變醜吧!! 葛拉拉這麼愛漂亮!!!)
葛拉自制力比較差,他說過自己不像大門抽煙嗑藥想戒就戒,
如果他當年沾了毒品... 後果不堪設想。
: 31. "Words I use for 'excellent' are brilliant, smart, decent, ace.
: And we use 'blinking' instead of a real swear word, like when you're
: with your grandmother."
: (很基本的綿羊用語!!)
還有 "bah!" XD
: 32. "Of course I'm an hedonist, what else worth living for?
: The rest is just killing time really.. "
: (這一看也知道至少是五~十年前說的話!!)
倒覺得這句話相當有道理... 活在當下! >D<
: 33. "I'm attracted to trauma. I like things like that.I'm a born martyr."
: (真的是天生要葬在忠烈祠的那種...下面還有一段說他為了女朋友冷戰而撞衣櫃!!!)
此人天生多愁善感,大門說葛拉很像那種會掏出手帕來咳血的古代詩人,
葛拉邊笑卻沒有否認 XD
: 34. "After Blur , I'll get married."
: (你現在也還沒結婚啊不是嗎XD)
有女朋友啦,這回不知可以撐多久。當年最想結婚的人到現在還是沒找到伴。
: 35. "We're very dissatisfied with anything that isn't slightly...twisted.
: I like people like John Lennon who are stars in a totally anti-star way."
: (說得好)
他本身就是這樣 - star in a totally anti-star way.
cool in a totally un-cool way. XD
: 37. "I hate the video for "Country House". I love the song, but
: the association with it has become Page Three and Benny hill instead of
: Blur."
: (這MV的確還蠻糟的XD)
這支MV最沒意義的就是那些活脫來自色情雜誌的辣妹,
還上演"唷呵呵來追我啊"的老派戲碼,
導演Damien Hirst品味的確很糟。
: 38. "If I’d done what I was supposed to do in the "Country House" video
: I would have had a lobotomy by now. I was supposed to do all sorts of nasty
: things – getting bottoms in my face and chasing girls."
: (這MV一定多半是alex出的主意... 我承認我對他有偏見)
你得到他了。Alex跟導演很麻吉,葛拉當年被逼著下海演出,相當不爽。
: 39. "Damon ?? sexy ?? He's about as sexy as a stuffed fish , pal!"
: (嬉皮式的死魚XDDDD)
這個是某張大門演唱會照片的註解,那時有很多少女覺得大門很性感,
可是那張照片的大門流很多汗看起來有點恍神,於是葛拉在旁邊喊
-- "大門?性感?他的性感程度跟餐桌上肚子塞餡料的烤魚差不多!"
不過葛拉有在其他場合稱讚過大門長得很帥。XD
: 40. "Damon wasn't liked (at school) and I thought he was a vain wanker."
: (wanker這字用得很精確!!!)
啊哈哈哈,對熟人的吐槽毫不留情。大門以前在學校常常因白目被揍。
: 41. (on Damon) "I used to come around and see him and he'd play this
: weird stuff that was endless piano, with no singing in it at all. It was
: just nuts."
: (綿羊大砲)
這是在講以前他們在學校剛認識的時候,當時大門的創作和表現慾望就很旺盛,
沒事喜歡彈些小曲炫技。殊不知往後好多年,Blur的歌曲多半由此方式生出,
大門先隨興彈奏,葛拉在旁邊以吉他應和,碰撞出火花後,
團員們以這段旋律延伸出完整的一首歌。這就是兩人無可取代的默契。
: 42. "Damon will always have extremes. When we were at school together,
: he would always be duffed up in the toilets. We used to go out on the town
: and he'd get beaten up by the New Model Army crew. We used to go to a pub
: called The Cups, and every time I went there with Damon he'd go to the bog
: and he'd have his beating up. And he'd go: 'Graham, Graham, I've just been
: beaten up.' And I'd go: 'Oh my God.' So he'd go: 'I'm going'. And I'd say:
: 'No, stay, have another drink.' And then he'd go, and I'd stay behind and
: get drunk with the people who beat him up."
: (兩個人都是爛嘴如泥的酒鬼,下面還有一段說葛拉拉是人型腳踏墊更好笑!!)
這段一直是我很喜歡的往事!非常好笑 XDDDD
那時候他們還在唸書,不是酒鬼,只是跟一般英國年輕人一樣去酒吧鬼混,
可是大門常常得罪人,被揍之後跑去跟葛拉抱怨:葛拉我們回家好不好?
葛拉就回答:老天啊(漫不經心貌) 大門說:我想走了。
葛拉就拗他:別走嘛再喝一杯。 於是大門就摸摸鼻子回家,
葛拉留下來跟剛剛揍大門的人一起喝酒。XD
由這段往事可以看出葛拉是做人比較成功的那個,
年少無知的大門老是被揍,實在又可憐又好笑。
: 43. "Damon is a self-centred fucker sometimes."
: (牡羊座的人好像都這樣XD 哈哈我跟大門同星座)
Yes he is, but he means no harm.
: 44. "If Damon goes on about football and Page Three girls, that means
: we all get associated with it. I hate football and I hate Page Three Girls,
: but people always want to hear Damon's opinion."
: (沒辦法誰叫大門比較三八啊)
他是主唱嘛,也是創作核心之一。媒體總是比較注意主唱。
: 45. "It seems that Damon and I are going to be in each other's lives musically
: forever, in some way or other. Whether it's with Blur or without Blur or sort
: of like the Old Gits, probably. Which is quite an amusing thought. We just
: get on very well, especially musically."
: (你們一定是生命共同體的啊^^ 兩人上輩子說不定是夫妻)
我很喜歡這段的描述,他們兩人的音樂默契不是蓋的,
很高興他們倆破鏡重圓,希望以後可以聽到新的作品。
: 46. The first thing Damon ever said to me was that his shoes were more
: expensive than mine. Eventually, he went off to work in drama school in
: London."
: (大門猴小小年紀就掉入物欲的火坑啊...阿彌陀佛)
也不是說物欲,大門應該是個幾乎沒有物欲的人(以有錢人來講),
小時候大門的家境是四人當中最好,他又是個直來直往說話毫不客氣的人,
當年兩人見面的時候,葛拉穿著一雙皮鞋,大門就指指自己的皮鞋囂張地說:
"你看,這才是真正的好貨。" (由此可見為何大門老是被人揍)
葛拉的意思是,大門行為戲劇化老愛引人注目,所以最後真的去上戲劇學校。
: 47. (on "The Great Escape" period)"Damon and I were becoming like
: Business Associates, whenever we'd see each other we had to dress up
: in suits and clean our teeth."
: (那你們其他時間都在幹麻)
葛拉指的是他跟團員關係惡化的時期,有段時間他跟大門冷戰不講話,
見面的時候不像朋友,反而像生意人,很可悲其實。
: 48. "I hate a lot of things that Alex stands for.I don't want people to think
: it's what this band is about. All that Groucho Club bollocks and him going on
: about birds and boozing all the time, I hate that."
: (綿羊對把妹痛飲的活動不感興趣...只喜歡彈吉他)
一個高調,一個低調的差別。
Alex喜歡泡夜店把妹,對Alex來說,Blur的走紅使他在各派對無往不利,
還可以結識各界名流,簡直置身天堂。
然而對害羞的葛拉來說,Alex喜愛的生活方式是他痛恨的,
成名之後的壓力和社交場合反而是地獄。
: 49. "It's nothing bad between me and Alex. It's just to do with sense of
: humour. We're very similar. If he wants to try and be in The Average White
: Band then I'm going to be in the Gang Of Four. I'm cutting against him all
: the time, because he's, like, a sexy musician and I feel... shy and clumsy.
: So I try and fuck up his funk. It's basically teenage party jealousy."
: (dun every say that!! 綿羊類型的男人會越老越帥!!)
嘿嘿,綿羊的嫉妒。Alex是典型的風流帥哥,葛拉覺得自己是個阿宅。
然而我們都是被他的宅吸引呀!
: 50. "Alex's idea of glamour is my idea of death, really."
: (XD 可想而知)
品味相差十萬八千里。 XD
不過他們其實蠻要好的,生日都會互送禮物或一起慶祝,
特別是Alex對葛拉可說是讚不絕口,頻頻示好。
: 51. "You become totally aware of your every action. It's a very weird thing
: not to be able to walk to the shops without thinking of yourself as the
: guitarist in Blur walking to the shops."
: (嗯嗯)
跟以前比起來,現在應該比較自在了吧。雖然還是喜歡宅在家。
: 52. "I don't feel famous at all. I've noticed it, and I suppose it's become
: an effort to be unfamous. It's crude, but the idea I have of myself is of
: someone who's getting pints of milk on the corner in the morning."
: (incentive!! 若你有在牛奶公司上班的話,
: 我一定會訂購你們的牛奶,而且每天早上都會站在家門口等你送過來XDDD)
這又讓我想到他很喜歡開牛奶車(Country House那台),說過想當牛奶工人。
好可愛。
好長.......!! 已經不知多久沒浮上水面po文...
另外兩篇有空再回覆。囧
