Stereo

by  Mark DemingFreed from the pressures of major-label record making and finally linked with a well-connected indie where he's allowed to follow his muse on his own terms, Paul Westerberg has been wildly prolific (at least by his standards) since hooking up with Vagrant Records in early 2002, releasing five albums (two as Grandpaboy) recorded in his home studio in less than three years. However, Folker suggests that the problems that dogged Westerberg's solo work for Reprise and Capitol haven't entirely escaped him -- namely, his songwriting doesn't have the same consistent spark it had in his salad days. In many respects, Folker sounds like a more muscular variation on 2002's Stereo, which found Westerberg examining his more introspective side, and if this set finds him more willing to lay on the sloppy drums and electric guitars, he's still talking adult stuff -- love, marriage, death -- rather than the post-adolescent traumas of the Replacements. It's also a bit surprising that the man who wrote "Bastards of Young" includes two songs apparently inspired by the passing of his father, one explicit ("My Dad"), one metaphorical ("Lookin' Up in Heaven"), but while the feelings behind the songs are sincere, they don't cut especially deep, which unfortunately is a common flaw with the songs on Folker. There isn't a single bad song on this album, but there aren't any great ones either, and Westerberg's messy direct-from-the-basement production doesn't do much to focus their strengths (though it works fine for the better numbers, especially "As Far As I Know"). The irony is that plenty of fans would have been grateful for an album like this after the overblown miscalculation of Eventually, but now that Westerberg is seemingly back at full strength and able to musically do what he wants when he wants it, it's hard not to walk away with the feeling he's capable of better than this -- and with any luck he'll prove that next time he goes into the basement.

Admittedly, Eventually is as tentative a collection of songs as its title indicates. Yes, Westerberg is mostly satisfied keeping house and watching the rabbits in his backyard. Yes, he's pleased to report he's "given the world the slip." And, yes, the least convincing songs here are the full-on rockers, while one of the most affecting is "Good Day," a winsome piano ballad that is Westerberg's "The Way We Were." Better still is "Hide N Seekin'," a song haunted by the Rock & Roll Ghost Westerberg sang of in 1989. In this incarnation, it's hard to tell if the apparition quivering in the shadows is the Replacements' late lead guitarist Bob Stinson, or Paul himself.

Various Artists

2006年以前，丛林是人类狩猎的地方，每到狩猎季开始的时候，拿着猎枪的人们就会走进无辜动物的世界，像死神一样收割着它们的生命……

  2006年的秋天，一只灰熊改变了动物们的命运……

  可以说，灰熊布格的生活堪称完美。在它还是一只幼熊时，好心的护林员柏丝就收养了它。如今的它，生活在树带界国家森林安静的小镇里，早上，900磅的布格经常出现在小镇的露天剧场中，成了“自然秀”节目的大明星；而晚上，布格则住在柏丝改造过的车库中，吃饱喝足之后还可以抱着自己的“宠物”泰迪熊丁克尔曼看喜欢的电视节目。没错，这就是一只熊宠的快乐生活，如果没有艾略特的出现，也许这种完美的生活会一直持续下去……

  这只名叫艾略特的生物是一只骨瘦如柴却能舌战群儒的黑尾鹿。不幸的是，出色的口才也无法拯救它的命运，在狩猎季开始的前几天，作为疯狂猎手肖的“助手”，可怜的艾略特被五花大绑于卡车的引擎盖上，从那不幸丧失的鹿的象征--鹿角一只也可以看到它的处境不妙。好在它遇到了布格，这只可以横行于树带界安静小镇却无人喊打的熊宠。一直与世无争的大灰熊起初并不愿介入艾略特和猎人间的“纠纷”，但最终挡不住那撕心裂肺的“呼救”，善良的布格解开了艾略特绳索的时候，也意味着那吃完睡，睡完吃的幸福生活即将远去……

  被释放的艾略特缠上了布格，它悄悄跟踪布格，找到了它居住的地方，然后开始引诱布格离开舒适的车库，去野性丛林享受自然。没有学过任何“野外生存术”却又不堪鼓动的布格就这样离开了家，和这只瘦鹿结伴来到了丛林。和以往的生活一经对比，布格终于明白自己上了这个瘦家伙的当，但自己已经无法独自回到曾经的家了，而艾略特此时也开始发难，让布格答应有福同享，一起回归布格温暖的家才可以带它回家，无奈的布格只好答应了。

  就在这时，狩猎季开始了，大批的猎手涌进的丛林，一向“养尊处优”的布格也成了他们的目标。好在这是一只见过大市面的“明星”，为了保护自己，布格在突击学习“野外生存术”的同时也和丛林里的动物结成了同盟，脾气火爆的臭鼬、神神叨叨的鸭子、极度焦虑的兔子、号令群鼠的松鼠莱利和极度渴望拥抱的豪猪。就是这群看似弱小的动物，竟然也似模似样的组建了“野战排”和“空军”，打了一场混乱而又搞笑的完美反攻战，就这样将猎手们赶出了丛林，还给动物们一片安全的居所。
