Garage Punk.車庫龐克

1960年代中期來自洛杉磯的一個迷幻搖滾樂團Music Machine的主唱與吉它手Sean Bonniwell 12月24日去世（71歲），Sean原名Thomas Harvey Bonniwell起先唱民歌， 1965年因民歌式微而組了The Ragamuffins合唱團改唱搖滾樂，他們先因穿黑衣單手帶手套的造型讓人留下印象，接著在1966年底推出的"Talk Talk,"獲得排行榜15名，使他們嚐到成功的滋味。
Music Machine之後推出的"The People in Me" 與 "Double Yellow Line"二首單曲成績都未能進排行榜前60名。


1996年Sean Bonniwell曾出自傳，書名先叫"Talk Talk"，然後改名"Beyond The Garage"，像Music Machine這種幾個高中生因崇拜Bob Dylan與The Beatles，在鄉間車庫練出來的Garage Band，在歌壇也有不少成名的例子，由於Punk龐克音樂在1970年代才興起，Music Machine的音樂有樂評人歸類為Garage Punk（地下、非主流、極簡搖滾）。



Talk Talk

MUSIC MACHINE

(Sean Bonniwell)



I got me a complication

And it's an only child

Concernin' my reputation

As something more than wild

I know it serves me right

But I can't sleep at night

Have to hide my face

Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace



I won't cry out for justice

Admit that I was wrong

I'll stay in hibernation

'Til the talk subsides to gone

My social life's a dud

My name is really mud

I'm up to here in lies

Guess I'm down to size

To size



Can't seem to talk about

The things that bother me

Seems to be

What everybody has

Against me

Oh, oh, all right



Here's the situation

And how it really stands

I'm out of circulation

I've all but washed my hands

My social life's a dud

My name is really mud

I'm up to here in lies

Guess I'm down to size

To size



Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk
