※ 引述《PartyHard ( Shadowplay)》之銘言：
: Q: Are you happy with this record?
: J:
: [With Scott Walker producing it]
: is littered with combinations that should have been great but aren't.
: A mate of mine has this bootleg of Jim Morrison singing with
: Jimi Hendrix in a bar in LA , and it just soulnds like some pissed-up
: blokes mucking about.
哈哈哈;)
天才也有變回凡人的時候啦
: But he honed in on the atmosphere of each song and found
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: ways of bringing it out.
: He illustrated our book.
沒錯！！！形容得真好>0<~
: Q: How did you feel singing in front of Scott Walker?
: J:
: I was terribly nervous. I'm not the biggest fan of my own voice.
啊...我們可都是你聲線的大歌迷呢...
: But he was good. He encouraged me to sing out.
嗯我個人也是覺得這一張 Jarvis 的唱腔真的比較“放”
詮釋起某些歌多了一種“力量”而不再只有氣氛
: He didn't give me any specific tips like,
: 'Drink camomile tea and take lots of deep breaths,
哈^^
: ' but he made me face up to my singing.
嗯^-^~
: My basic method in the past was to get semi-pissed,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
呵我們家的以前可能要 fully-pissed 才能唱哦^^
: certainly didn't like me being pissed and [made me focus] on getting the
: performance right.
呵...
: So I was more involved in it, rather than leaving it to somebody else to
: sort out, and I realised I didn't have to be hammered to sing.
嗯真好...製作人真行...
: Q : What do you feel about This Is Hardcore now?
: J :
: I think it's good. But it's not a record made by a contented people.
哦...「春宮電影」不是由滿足的人做出來的專輯...嗯當然...
: It's a record about disillusionment.
哦哦哦形容的真好...
: There was a lot of pressure, but this time there was no pressure,
: really, because nobody was arsed!
: We could have easily said, Let's not make another record.
: We had to ask, Do we want it to be such a laborious,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: painful process again? And none of us did,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
嗯創作過程的甘苦真不是常人能了解體會的呢...
: Q: Weeds, on the new album, We Love Life, is about people on the margins
: being exploited by pop culture. Is that how you felt?
: J:
: The thing that can be really demoralising about getting some kind of
: success is that people, and I certainly did this,
: start a group because they're marginalised and it gives
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: them something they're in control of,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: their little fantasy world to escape into.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
嗯被邊緣化的族群通常會尋找僅能在控制下的東西
然後遁入一個小小自成一格的幻想世界
: Then, if you do make a breakthrough,
: it's taken away from you, it becomes something that's marketed
: and sold and you feel like you don't own it anymore,
: you feel like a bit of a caricature of yourself.
: I think stuff comes from poor backgrounds and then gets exploited by people
: and [the originators] don't get any benefit from it.
但是一旦你想掙脫這個世界回到現實主流的世界
僅能在控制下的東西就會被奪走販賣
而你自己不僅失去了這獨家的東西，也等於是被商業化剝削
得不到任何好處...
: Q :How much does your job involve Jarvis the pop star feeding
: off Jarvis the person?
呵這個問題真有趣...Jarvis 如何在明星公眾的自己和私下的自我取得平衡...
: J:
: That's OK, as long as you realise that your life comes first and
: that anything that you create comes from that.
: If music becomes your career it shouldn't become your life.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^是哦...
: Life is like the car, and your art, or whatever you produce,
: is a caravan, and as long as the car's in front of the caravan you can go
: places.The other way round, you're not going anywhere.
嗯要讓 自己的生活 領在前頭而非附加的價值成就
: Q; Is being in a band a neat way of prolonging adolescence?
哈這個記者真尖銳耶...待在一個樂團是讓青春期延長的一個好方法嗎？
: J:
: Definitely. A bit sad, seeing as I'm 38.
: I never wanted to grow up anyway, so this was a perfect career choice
: for me.
哦^-^~...Liam 也說過 "Growing up is a sin..."，視長大變老為一種罪過...
嗯我們都不想呢...
: One day I'd like to have children.
: It seems unnatural not to, but I worry sometimes that I'm getting a bit
: long in the tooth.
呵...
: You know, it might be handy to be around to watch them grow up,
: rather than shoot your load then die.
嗯責任重大吧...
: Q:Do you listen to your own music for pleasure or read your fan sites
: on the net?
: J:
: No, I bloody don't. No way.
哈歌迷恐怕要失望了;)
: Q:Do you think the 1982 Jarvis would like what you're doing now?
: J:
: I had a weird experience on the motorway about three months ago.
: I was driving my van and there was a yellow Hillman Imp
: in front of me. I used to have one of those,
: and so when I overtook it - and they're so shit anything can
: overtake 'em - I looked to see who was driving,
: and there was this kid with specs on,
: just sinking his teeth into a Ginster's Cornish pasty,
: which is exactly the kind of behaviour that I would have been involved in.
哈哈哈哈哈自己笑人家卻又想起以前自己一樣的蠢樣哩^^
: It was only like a flash as I went past,
: so I'm not saying, I drove past myself on the motorway in a former existence,
: but it was really weird, and got me thinking about whether
: I would like myself now or whether I would even recognise what I am.
: Actually, maybe the 1982 version of myself would be impressed with me,
: but I would find him really irritating.
呵...十幾年前的自己大概會對現在的自己刮目相看吧...
: I'd say, You need to grow up a bit, mate, you need to get all
: that out of your system and sort yourself out and you might end up being
: not a bad person. At the moment you're all right, you're reasonably funny
: sometimes, but you're irritating. There was this thing when I had to move
: house once,I was packing stuff up and I saw this picture of myself on
: the cover of a magazine,I think it was Select, and I looked at it and thought,
: Who is this twat? I suddenly didn't recognise myself and thought,
哈哈哈哈哈 who is this twat? 你自己啊;)
相信大家多少都有這種面對過往的自己錯愕驚訝的經驗吧...
: Is that really what you want people to think you're like.
: That was the dawning of a realisation that I'd over-exposed
: myself doing things that weren't what I was meant to be doing:
: presenting Top Of The Pops or being a rent-a-quote.
: Allowing that celebrity thing to undermine the fact that we make music.
: My intentions were honourable, though, your honour.
嗯我相信你...該是回頭重新檢視成名的後遺症以及回歸音樂和自我了...
: All that 1995 thing was about marginal stuff suddenly finding its way
: into the mainstream, and I thought in a naive way that it was going to
: make a difference, that things were going to change. A year or two later
: I realised that instead of you changing the mainstream,
: the mainstream's changing you. So I made a conscious decision to back off.
整段翻一下好了：
「九五年那一段完全像是邊緣另類的東西突然間找到進入主流的道路，
而我天真的以為這將會令一切不同，整個生態會改變。但經過了一兩年我了解到
是主流改變了你，而非你改變了主流。所以我下了個清醒的決定要蟄伏退出一陣。」
: I'm more comfortable now with the idea that you can produce stuff in your
: own little area and not get too hung up and whether all the world thinks
: it's great.
嗯本來就是這樣吧
不過一旦你晉身過主流的行列要再覺悟這一點是比較不容易的
畢竟你的音樂受過全世界幾十萬人幾百萬人甚至幾千萬人的熱愛
要說完全不在乎未免矯情了...只不過真的要調適之後做音樂的心態吧
: Q:What do you fancy doing next?
: J:
: Are you asking me out?
哈 Jarvis 還真幽默哩...記者是女的哦^^
: Q:What's the biggest misconception about you?
哦這問題讚...別人對你最大的誤解是什麼？
: J:
: That I'm miserable.
: In the last few years people seem to have decided that I'm miserable.
: And I'm not.
哈原來 Jarvis 並不如我們一貫加油添醋移情作用的那麼“慘綠悲慘”哦;)
Cheers!
這期 Mojo 真值得買耶
