小红与小小红《黑羊》

By Josh, 2011年 4月 15日

北京的DIY音乐实践仍在继续，这一次是“小红与小小红”，它是朱文博与赵丛的二人组，前者也是实验音乐演出“燥眠夜”的组织者，他们也是我最喜欢的乐队之一。他们刚刚发行了首张专辑《黑羊》，并为这张专辑设计制作了堪称精美的包装：铁盒外用红色电工胶带手工封装，正面的黑色帖纸上是乐队，专辑名以及出品方“宫保鸡丁”（据了解，“宫保鸡丁”的负责人也就是这张专辑的录制人是P.K.14的音响工程师）。首版的40个拷贝是红色的CDR。本周六（4月15日），“小红与小小红”将在旁边儿的老What演出进行首发演出，之后它会在一些相关演出现场以及淘宝网上购买。你可以联系朱文博获得更多相关信息。

The DIY bug is spreading in Beijing. Xiao Hong Yu Xiao Xiao Hong (小红与小小红 – they translate it as “Little Red, Small Little Red”) is Zhu Wenbo (organizer of Zoomin’ Night) and Zhao Cong. They’re one of my favorite Zoomin’ bands, one that I’ve seen in contexts well beyond the confines of D-22. Black Sheep is their first release, in a beautifully, brilliantly executed package. Custom-ordered metal boxes are sealed shut with red electrical tape, with a black tape strip announcing the band name and production platform (it was engineered by 宫保鸡丁出品, or “Kungpao Chicken productions”, run by PK14’s sound engineer). The first 40 customers will receive a limited edition red cd (see below). It will be “officially” released at our What Bar show on Saturday and afterwards will be available at select shows and online via taobao. You can contact Zhu Wenbo for purchasing information.

这实在是一件够“酷”的产品，希望能有更多人自己做这种小产量但够酷的发行。要知道，mp3是免费的，但你没法将它拿在手中……

Hats off to Wenbo and Zhao Cong for a really cool product. Hope others take note and come up with equally cool, small-batch releases. mp3s are free but you can’t hold them in your hands….
