My 45 Beloved Songs in 2011

去年很無聊，想做這種疲憊的歌單，殺殺自己根本就不應該亂砍的時間，不過作完後，卻下定決心明年，也就是現在，再作一次。所以說，這四十五首，大抵上，不一定是最精彩，卻一定是影響今年本人，從裡到外、由悲至喜、上廁所到作報告、從台灣飛到英倫的好歌。敬請慢慢收聽。

-- -- -- --

和去年一樣，秉持著一張專輯選一首的規矩，要不然St, Vincent的Northern Light一定也會在名單內、M83的Claudia Lewis也會在名單內、Shabazz Palaces的Are you... Can you... Were you? (Felt)也會收到名單裡來。然後多附的一首，We Found Love是在榜單歸類後才收聽的，很喜歡，所以另外加進來。

真的要說有什麼不一樣的話，那就是，今年喜歡的流行歌曲更多了，Nicki的Super Bass一首絕對有不亞於Robyn去年Body Talk的熱舞實力，Beyoncé則是在4的Bonus裡面收錄了眾多在企圖不被綁住懷舊氛圍的摩登佳作，除了Schoolin' Life，同樣和The-Dream協力打造的Dance For You也是必殺(這首歌後來被The-Dream自己取樣在以Tarius Nash名義推出的Ghetto)，甚至除了Holocene，前幾名的像Midnight City是徹底擁抱流行節奏的痛快熱血，今年最愛的Believer甚至是企圖窒息流行文化，在掙扎中竊取難得可見的光輝大作。

想要相信，或許只有當自己是愚者，今年，尤其是現在，踏在不同的土地上，如此深切的認為。不然，就很難相信明年會更美好、或是更快樂。
