야 너네 너무 멋있어진거 아니니ㅠㅠㅠㅜ 후 눈물을 줄줄 흘리었다... 어제 닉 사상 최악의 사진을 봤는데 그걸 하루만에 훅 날려주네^^;;
며칠 전에 맨하탄에서 한 인터뷰라는 듯. 각자 어릴 적에 믹스테이프를 만들었던 경험을 들려준다. 나 어릴 때 라디오에서 나오던 음악 녹음하던 기억이 새록새록 나서ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 묘했다. 얘네도 이러고 살았구나ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 여튼 당연히 그 믹스테이프에는 자신들이 좋아하던 음악이 들어가게 되는거고. 애들이 어릴 때 들었던 음악이 뭔지 들려주고 뭐 그러는 인터뷰.
스트록스가 만든 믹스테이프용 리스트도 공개. 악틱이나 엠지엠티가 있는 걸 보면 꼭 스트록스 멤버들이 어릴 때 들었던 음악만으로 이뤄져있지는 않은 리스트다. 스트록스의 취향을 다양하게 느낄 수 있는 리스트인듯. 근데 베토벤이랑 푸치니도 있어....어쩔거야....
솔직히 이 잡지 좀 짱이다... 내가 인큐버스 좋아한 이후 이렇게 잘 나온 브랜든 보이드 사진은 또 처음인듯...? 남신이네..ㅡㅡ 신이네 신이야...
Interview with Brandon Boyd
- Brandon Boyd, lead singer of California based and interna-tionally renowned band INCUBUS has toured the world, published books of his illustrations, and recently wrapped up a solo album, The Wild Trapeze.
160g has had the opportunity to catch up with Brandon and talk about his solo debut along with the judgments that come with FAME, as well as his idea of a perfect day.

So Brandon tell me what projects are you currently working on at the moment ?
I am currently wrapping my arms and legs around Incubus' newest album. We are about a month or so into the process and it is proving to be as unusual and as exciting as anything we've ever concocted. I also just finished filming two more music videos for my solo jam; one for a song called 'Last Night A Passenger' and the other 'Courage and Control'. Both directed by my friend Brantley Gutierrez.
I've listened to your solo album "The Wild Trapeze" What was it like to record and perform without the rest of your band mates and how was the process of writing an album solo versus collabo-rating with Incubus?
Honestly, one of the things that have occurred to me as I've gotten older and been able to observe more accurately is the idea that people don't always give established artists new glances. We think we know what we're going to get based on the name and God forbid, "the brand" that the artist has built. Occasionally though, something slips through the cracks and genuinely surprises us! An established artist can and most likely will be hypnotized and potentially paralyzed by the box he or she has built! In order for art to remain alive, I feel like it has to continually move, shake and surprise.
I locked myself in my house, stripped myself of expectation and all of my relied upon methods and tools and wrote a family of songs that were representative of this unique intersection I had found myself in. It was fun and challenging, humbling and horrifying all at once. And thus far, I wouldn't change a thing.
Was there anything specific or different that you were looking to communicate in your music going solo ?
I wasn't trying to communicate anything consciously. I rarely know what it is I am trying to say in lyrics until well into the process. What has been revealed is a deep desire to redefine what we as a band and what I have been 'branded' as. The Wild Trapeze is a collective thought disagreeing with that monocultural precept. As naive as it may be it is an attempt to portray a mindset that isn't 'set'. A spirit that remains elastic, young, and calm at the hub of a massive, spinning wheel.
When writing music, how do you decide between things that you’d like to record with the band and things that you’d like to record solo ?
I usually share all my ideas with the band first. These guys have an uncanny ability to take the simplest piece of music and make it sound like it was dipped in gold. That being said, we were on a very real hiatus, so I took the opportunity to let these ideas unfold alone. I bounced them off of some trusted ears, then took them Upstate in New York to Dave Fridmann who helped bring them to their current form.
Apart from music you have published a couple books. Tell me a little bit about those projects and how you came to publish your illustrations ?
Yes! I have published two books! And in the works is a third. Both were the end results of many years of sketchbooks and journal kee-ping, collaging, musings, wonde-rings, complaints, photographs and clippings. It's not unique in its idea, I just felt like it offered a little window into a larger process. And I have been very lucky to have an audience interested in that process! I understand that you were enrolled in an art program while Incubus took a break.
What was it like to go from being on a world tour schedule to a class schedule?
Ah yes, I spent the first Semester of Incubus' hiatus at Otis here in California. And one semester was all it took. I am not ready to go back to homework and schedules of that manner. I have homework coming out of my ears already! I think I was chasing an unfinished dream of having an art degree. It was fun and I was able to motivate enough to put together an art show out of it. But for now I am going to leave the school to Mike. Our guitar player spent his hiatus studying at Harvard. That's all I am going to say about that.
How do you think Incubus’ music has influenced American Culture?
How has Incubus' music influenced American culture... That is a question that I never thought I would have to answer. Mostly because I never thought that anyone would think we would affect anything. I (and maybe we as a band) suffered from a terminal case of underdog syndrome for many years. We perhaps came to a place in our group psychology where we stopped wanting and caring if people liked us. We just kind of plowed forward and let anyone on the bus who wanted to go along for the ride.
If we have influenced our culture at all, it has been from a unique position of being directly beneath the crest of the mainstream. A lot of people see us as a "mainstream" band, perhaps most people. But our music only has moments of "mainstream" tendencies. Our audience is a massive cross section of humanity. Not a demographic or a particular haircut. From my perspective (and I stress the term "My" perspective) we have quietly been influencing over the past decade or so. What that influence is exactly, I have no idea. I hope it makes kids want to start bands though. I pray it makes parents nervous AND nostalgic. I hope it creates memories and inspires thoughts that are larger than any one person.
What are you listening to at the moment?
Right now I have been using my normal listening time as quiet time to write. There's a strange cacophony at work in my head and it will hopefully come out my mouth as contributions to the new Incubus record in the near future. That being said, I have been drifting in and out of the Devotchka Album 'How It Ends' and really enjoying it. As well Craig Armstrong's 'Piano Works'.
What books are you currently reading?
Yes! I just finished a book called 'The Shallows' by Nicolas Carr. It was completely fascinating. I highly recommend it, but be forewarned! As a fan of the internet and a believer in it's potential, it reveals some strange truths about how strangely we are adapting to this most unprecedented tool. But I am now about three quarters of the way through another fascinating book called 'The Next Hundred Years' by George Friedman. I really need some good fiction in my diet though!
As 160g is largely a fashion magazine, I’d love to know what your relationship to fashion is and if you have a favourite designer?
That's right! You guys are a fashion mag, huh? I've never liked the word "Fashion", but as a concept I quite enjoy it. You can tell a lot about a person by how they present themselves to the world. I don't have a particular favorite designer, no. But I love a classic American aesthetic. Which is sort of an Ambrosia Salad of styles smooshed together, run through a paper shredder then rolled into a cigarette that when lit, glows green like Aurora Borealis!
What’s your preferable place to vacation ?
My ideal vacation involves staying home and surfing. Maybe a long weekend in Paris though; then taking a train over to Amsterdam for a boat ride and some delicious treats. But yeah, staying home is amazing! I'll send you a postcard.
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하고 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하며 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하지만 어둠 속에 살아
She takes your hand in the jungle by the waterfall
그녀는 네 손을 잡아 정글 속 폭포 곁으로 인도할거야
When I'm week she's in the best of moods
내가 일주일 내내 일할때 그녀는 최고의 상태에 있어
She's hanging out with all kinds of strangers with her broken shoes
그녀는 부러진 굽을 가진 신발을 신고, 온갖 낯선 사람들과 잘도 어울려
She's well dressed and behaves like all the rest
그녀는 잘 차려입고 모든 근심에서 해방된 듯 행동하지
She tends to try to unlock my cell but she'll never ever find my nest
그녀는 내 휴대폰의 비밀번호를 알아내려하지만, 영영 내 둥지를 찾지 못할걸
There's no questions like it's understood
모두 알고있던 것처럼, 거기엔 의문이 없어
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하고 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하며 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하지만 어둠 속에 살아
She takes your hand in the jungle by the waterfall
그녀는 네 손을 잡아 정글 속 폭포 곁으로 인도할거야
She walks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 어둠 속에서 살지 She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하며 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하지만 어둠 속에 살아
She takes your hand in the jungle by the waterfall
그녀는 네 손을 잡아 정글 속 폭포 곁으로 인도할거야
She's not strong! Why? I don't give a damn!
그녀는 강하지 못해! 왜냐고? 내가 조금도 신경을 안쓰니까!
Fool! She's with me, when I don't need the sex she's on her bed
바보같게도! 그녀는 내가 섹스할 기분이 아닐 때 침대 위에서 나와 함께해
How can I loose her when she's all that i ever got?
내가 가진 전부가 그녀일 때 어떻게 그녀를 잃을 수 있겠어?
Behind her window there's a lover who I know I shot
그녀의 창문 뒤쪽으로 한 애인이 있어, 나도 아는 사람이야. 내가 쏴버렸으니까
Can you imagine what it's like to be all alone?
온전히 둘이서만 있다는 게 어떨지 상상할 수 있겠어?
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하고 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하며 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하지만 어둠 속에 살아
She takes your hand in the jungle by the waterfall
그녀는 네 손을 잡아 정글 속 폭포 곁으로 인도할거야
She walks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 어둠 속에서 살지 She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하며 어둠 속에 살지
She walks she talks she lives in the dark
그녀는 걷고, 말하지만 어둠 속에 살아
She takes your hand in the jungle by the waterfall
그녀는 네 손을 잡아 정글 속 폭포 곁으로 인도할거야

내 인생 스트록스한테 저당 잡힌 것만큼이나 만도 디아오한테 저당잡혀있는데 포스팅은 적군요...ㅎㅎ 이것은 내가 여기 신경쓸 정신을 다른 데 쏟아붓고 있기 때문이겠지... 팬질을 하긴 하되 다른 데서 사력을 쏟아부어 정상적인 포스팅을 할 시간이 자신이 없엉... ㅎ.ㅎ 결론은 사랑한단 뜻이겠지
만도 디아오의 비사이드 중 한 곡. 비사이드 앨범인 The Malevolence of Mando Diao의 첫번째 디스크에도 실려있다. 이게 You Can't Steal My Love 싱글 컷 비사이드였던가? 기억이 가물가물... 아무튼 만도 비사이드 중 1, 2위를 가르며 좋아하고 있는 곡. 가사가... 너무 취향이었어요... 두 번째 좋아하는 곡은 Searching For Owls. 어 둘다 구스타프 보컬 곡이네... 역시 저는 아직 구스타프 팬인가봅니다. 아무리 까고 비웃어도... 오빠 사랑해 알지? 알긴 뭘알아ㅡㅡ
만도 디아오 노래 가사들은 제대로 말 맞는 경우가 흔치 않아서... 이건 진짜 줄리안 뺨친다 가사들이. 그냥 운율 맞추기 위해 가사 쓴 것 같은 것들도 한가득인데(Down In The Past... 젤 좋아하는 곡인데 해석을 못해... 해봤는데 번역기 돌린 가사 나옴ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ); 이건 그나마 좀 해석이 되길래 해석 해봤다... 틀린 부분 있으면 알려주시면 수정ㅎㅎ... Can you imagine what it's like to be all alone? 이거 할 때 alone이 자기랑 그녀인지, 자기만인지 헷갈려...
