阿多诺说

Siesta，西班牙的一个独立厂牌，出品的东西什么样儿，其实听这个名字也大抵能猜到了。

“味蕾”已经被宠到非辛辣不食，非hard不嚼的，非strange就不待理睬（或者说“不鸟”）的注意，这个LABEL出的东西多数不会适合你的。

QUOTING些他们自己的文案，大家看看吧！

A PORTRAIT OF SIESTA:

"Sloth is of all the passions the most powerful passion and indeed no passion is more powerful than the passion of sloth" (Samuel Beckett)

THE BIRTH OF SIESTA:

When: June 1992.

Where: Madrid, Spain.

Who: Mateo Guiscafré and Manuel Torresano. In 1996 Sara vom Bruch was incorporated to the siesta crew with the highest honours.

Why: The objective was to set up a highly individualistic label with its own soul, specific sound, aesthetics and identity to reflect our affinities and even our personal evolution. A gentle and sweet delirium -where many impossible things become probable- for posterity.

Inspiration: Sunshine, siesta, Mediterranean culture, easy listening, hedonism, Dalí, gazpacho, independence, cinema (Bu uel, Rossellini, Erice, Kubrick, De Sica, Truffaut, Welles, Ealing comedies...), swinging sixties, bossanova, olive oil, football (Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid), French pop, George Sanders, red wine, Picasso, mistery, legends and myths, The Party, passion for vinyl, The Wizard of Oz, Richard Avedon, dolce vita,..

Attributes: Love of beauty, love of language, love of fantasy.

Embryonic days: Since the beginning Siesta was a trusted label with a logo than guaranteed a type of music that gained the attention, benevolence and sympathy of a stable base of collectors.

THE SPIRIT OF SIESTA:

Styles: Fantasypop, bossa nova, cinematic pop, champagne pop, soft pop, easy listening, exotica, lounge and indie pop. In any case Siesta is a fully imagined world, timidly abstract, that makes you feel a privileged person. The tendency is to release concept and emotional records and imaginary soundtracks. All intellectually stimulating in a certain way.

Spirit: Siesta is not a faceless corporation looking only for the mighty yen or dollar. The label is managed exclusively by its owners with no external support. Independence and individualism The paramount goal is to have artistic success rather than commercial smashes. However our bands and us wish to live opulently with a maximum of visible splendour. We want to dine with bejewelled ladies and tip lavishly. In a nutshell we would like to leave a spotless name and a tidy fortune to our descendants

“牛”在：

1.单冲easy listening, hedonism，就很牛啊，相对于变酸了的，一点都不cuite的C-86们和其实已经完全悖离“庞克精神”的“庞克偶像”们，SIESTA提倡的easy listening, hedonism就真的牛了。

2.那里的试听也牛，大厂牌范儿，CATALOGUE里所有的条目都有CLICK，每一张都有试听，不是FULL LISTEN。

3.当然就不用说了，西班牙最大的独立厂牌，他们的ARTISTS多，而且颇有些影响的也还有相当数量，像 Club 8什么的。最近刚刚发首张的Bel Divioleta（2005.12出片）据说是个HIPO啊。原文是：

Bel Divioleta would be a good complement to Coralie Clement, Kahimi Karie, Claudine Longet, Isobel Campbell, Club 8, Stina Nordenstam, Mondialito, Emiliana Torrini, Milky

到底如何有试听的。

关于厂牌，东斜同学以及那位昵称满是数字的同学共同做的帖子真棒，SARAH RECORDS的部分我喜欢，不过先要消化下。你们也很牛。

然后要说的是Juliana Hatfield

她也是个牛人，可以说她的工作量是Juliana Hatfield*4。

最早有个Blake Babies，然后以“Juliana Hatfield Three”和“Juliana Hatfield”的名义交错出现，再后来又组了个Some Girls，就开始“Some Girls”和“Juliana Hatfield”混着过了两年。这个女人真是精力旺盛而且好折腾，当然在换个角度来看，玩儿的方式贯穿她的四重身份，快乐是始终的，这样就很好……

下面就是JULIANA HATFIELD。
