English Interview 英文稿访问
A lot of people are curious about the name My Little Airport, does it hint to a girl’s body?
Nicole:Maybe I just like the airplane meals a lot, keep guessing.
阿P:That’s the most common guess in Hong Kong.
Are the album cover designs your own ideas? The cover on “the ok thing to do on Sunday afternoon is to toddle in the zoo” has little touch of lesbianism, was that your intention for the album?
Nicole:he idea came from us and a friend from our label. First came the concept, then we did the photo shoot and the design. Hints and little touches have always been our thing; we leave the guessing to our audience.
阿P:The girls on the cover are our good friends, I think they’re beautiful!
Let’s talk about the coming concert in Malaysia, what you do anticipate from the gig?
Nicole: This is our first time playing in South East Asia, we’ve heard of Huang Huo and Soundscapes before, this time it’s this indie label called Dong Tai Du who invited us and it’s the first time we’re collaborating. The Malaysian gig on the 30th is our first stop, we’ll be hanging out there for a day then head down to Singapore for the next show. I just think of it as kind of a trip.
阿P:We’re pretty easy actually, we don’t mind much. I heard the organizers hooked us up with a nice venue, so there are some worries that we’ll be playing in a place that’s a little too formal and it may not go down that well with our kind of “easy-going” music. All our songs, productions and performances have always been really easy going.
Malaysians may not know you too well, can you tell us more about your music and how you got here?
阿P:Most of the lyrics are about our friends and the little things that happened in school, some of them (friends) I can’t even remember their faces, but it’s through creating music that brought the memories back. In the first album, all I used was a CASIO toy keyboard and some simple guitar works. We didn’t even step into a studio, all of it was home recording.
What comes to play in your regular composing sessions?
Nicole:We don’t meet much actually, probably because we’ve met each other way too much before. Now, most of time we just meet online. Most of the songs in the album are written by P, he makes me a demo, then I sing him a demo and we send them to each other on MP3. P’s brain spins really fast, the compositions change like on a daily basis. I use a small MD player and microphone to record my vocals at home. The actual recordings are mostly done in P’s place, P gives me a hard time when I make a mistake…
阿P:A lot of our songs, I don’t even know if they’re actually considered songs… we have long titles but short short songs… haha! I used to write songs because I was unhappy, now I’m still unhappy but I’ll consider the concept of an album and start from there. First comes the title, then the lyrics, and then the melody. Nicole will sing it, then I’ll edit the arrangements. Sometimes she doesn’t practice her thing, even the melodies are completely off and I can get really upset, other times it’s okay, haha! I use Cubase and Reason for the recording, a guitar and three Casio keyboards that I got from the UK Ebay.
What’s the latest musical direction for MLA?
Nicole:Most the promo items from our previous gigs would label us as a “cult” band, a lot of folks think that we’ll be headed to some more extreme, weirder sounds, actually it’s all bullshit. P feels that the mainstream media people don’t really get what “cult” actually means, and don’t really know how to describe MLA, so we kind of made it a joke.
阿P:From our indie-pop period to now “cult”, a lot people are beginning to think that our songs have a little bit of edge in it. That’s really the thing for our third album; I don’t think there’s much of a “standard” to adhere to for MLA, now we’re moving to another place. I’d say we’re moving into a “sweet but deadly dangerous” music period.
Nicole:I want to give a little space for thought for our audience through our performances, a little sense of lost, and the need to try to relive and understand the things that are close to them
What kind of music and movies do you like?
阿P:I like Gundam and films from Terayama Shūji. I like music from The Teenagers, Shocking Piks, Sebastien Tellier, Landon Pigg as well as Reverend and the Makers.
Nicole:Stuff like “Goodbye Lenin!” and “Triplets of Belleville”, recently it’s “Shawshank Redemption” and of course a lot more that I can’t remember right now. The ones I really love are the ones that I could revisit a lot of times and still think they’re great. But I don’t really think they have any real effect on our music.

访问稿
My Little Airport 2004的專輯「在動物園散步是正經事」橫掃兩岸年終樂評榜,並且在香港打進商台歌曲榜前十名,以一張獨立創作、製作、發行的專輯來說,My Little Airport的成功是備受矚目的。
初次听到他们的音乐的第一感觉,就是无法停止的清清朗朗在身边蔓延,首张专辑《在动物园散步才是正经事》的清新校园情结打动很多同龄人,音乐对于他们来说,是午后的一杯纯咖啡,清淡却美妙无言。仅21分钟的时间,恍然回到球鞋校服的率真学生时代,几分童稚的琴声,清澈羞涩的女声,略带英伦气质,歌词点到而止,轻触内心的秘密却又绕过,轻描委屈或者记忆的伤痕,一笑而过,淡然一切。
听My Little Airport的音乐,能感受到他们正在经历怎么样一种花样青春,对于生活中的点滴,Nicole流露出些许惆怅,许多不能释怀或者无法逃避的现实影响着本来无忧无虑的生活,女孩子的细腻和敏感成为音乐上创作的源泉。而阿P则摆出一副可爱鬼脸模样,看他的回答,眼前几乎立刻呈现出拥有无辜大眼睛和顽皮笑容的阿P,看似玩世不恭其实内心充满思考之后的领悟。
很多人都很好气my little airport这个名字,是暗指女生的身材吗?
Nicole: 可能我太喜欢吃飞机餐吧,继续猜谜。
阿P: 在香港,这是最正常的猜测。
关于唱片封面的设计是自己的主意还是别人的设计?《在动物园散步才是正经事》的封面有少许女同性恋的感觉,当初做的时候是有这种暗示在里面吗?
Nicole:是我们和维港唱片的朋友一起想出来的。先想概念,再拍照,设计。设计由维港唱片的曾庆宁操刀。暗示大概是咱们的强项,谜猜就交给受众吧。
阿P: 专辑封面的人物都是我们的好朋友,我觉得她们太漂亮了!
谈谈这次来马演出,对于这次大马含含情演出的期待。
Nicole:这是我们第一次来东南亚演出,在这之前我们听说过黄火和扩音版图这些独立音乐搞手,而这次邀请我们的则是一家叫动态度的厂牌,首次合作。大马是这次东南亚巡演的第一站30号演出后,我们会在大马逗留一天,然后再到新加坡参加另外一场音乐节。由于是第一次来东南亚,就当作是旅行吧!
阿P: 我们从來都不介意玩得很……随意,听说主办单位为我们安排了一个不错的场地,所以反而会担心一个太Formal的场地,是否适合我们这种如此隨意的音乐。因为我們的创作、制作和表演都很隨兴。
马来西亚的人可能不太认识你们,可以说说你们的音乐历程。
阿P:歌词多半取材自身边的朋友和学校生活的瑣細故事,有些朋友我甚至忘记了他们的样子,凭着创作来唤起了那些珍贵的回忆。在第一张专辑《在动物园散步才是正经事》,我只是用了一架CASIO玩具电子琴,和一些简单的吉它,录音室都没进,所有录音工作都在房间里完成。
平时你们如何进行创作,用些什么器材呢?
Nicole:其实我们不常见面,以前见太多了。现在都只是在网上联系。专辑里大部分的歌都是P写的,他做了小样传给我听,然后我也唱一段Demo,存档成MP3寄給他听。P脑袋转得快,编曲每天都在改变,我在家里是用小MD机和小麦克风录制的。正式的录音都是在P的家里完成,唱錯的時候P會罵人…
阿P:我很多歌不知道算不算一首歌…我们的歌名很长,但是歌很短…哈哈哈!以前写歌是因为不开心;现在也不开心,但现在会从一张专辑的概念去构思。从歌名开始,再來歌词,最后才想melody,Nicole唱完之后給我听,我会再改 Arrangement。有時候她沒有练熟,连melody也唱錯我就会很不高心,其他的話我也无所謂,哈哈哈哈!录音的software我用 cubase和reason、吉他、三个 casio的keyboard。casio的老电子琴是去英国ebay上標的。
最新的音乐和创作动向
Nicole:过去的音乐会的宣传上看到MLA以Cult Band自居,很多人以为我们会朝着更偏峰的路线走,其实是乱说而已。P觉得主流媒体对Cult一字不甚了解,加上不知道该用什么來形容MLA,于是就乘机开了一个玩笑。
你们都喜欢一些什么音乐和电影?
阿P: 喜欢高达、寺山修司的电影,音乐上最近喜欢the teenagers, shocking pinks, sebastien tellier, landon pigg, reverend and the makers
Nicole:《goodbye Lenin!》(《再见列宁》)、《Les Triplets de Belleville》(《疯狂约会美丽都》)之类。最近喜欢《Shawshank Redemption》(《肖申克的救赎》),应该有更多但是一时间怎记得。真正喜欢的电影,看多少遍之后都觉得不错的,就是了。感觉上没有对音乐创作有怎样的影响。

阿P:其实由清新Indie-Pop到现在的「Cult」,很多人觉得得我们的歌渐渐多了一些控訴的意味。這一点不置可否,觉得那是第三张专辑的阶段,现在的我们又慢慢脱离了。我用「甜蜜得來又暗藏杀机」來形容当下的写作心态。
Nicole: 希望透过過演出,会为观众帶來思考的空間,以及一种若有所失的感覺,尝试重温那种与自己有切身关系的感觉,並去理解它。你们都喜欢一些什么音乐和电影?

MLA 故事仔
Yap Weng Nam的MLA 故事仔
你要法国男友,全因你嫌我说不准Je'Taime。
我没有灰心,一心去学法文,
但只怪我公司无银,不能津贴我学法文。
这时找来的MSN法国女友做顾问,发现原来她都不及你的法文诗;
你亦都发现了我与她!最后,只可看你离开带走你的小狗,
我恨在你离开前没有与你食雪梨,让我喝一杯吐血的香槟一了百了吧!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Esther Wong的MLA 故事仔
只怪我的公司无银在寂寞的酒会里,
只让我喝一杯会吐血的香槟,还要我饿肚子,
不但没有与你食雪梨的机会,
还要我眼睁睁的看你离开带走你的小狗,
而站在我身边的她都不及你的法文诗,叫我如何忍心
不跟你去MLA大马含含情音乐会呢?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Phang Chin Ling的MLA 故事仔
对我而言,她的样貌简直像让我喝一杯会吐血的香槟。
我相信她都不及你的法文诗,更何况我的美色。
过了不久,你抛弃了她,我以为我有机会。
后来,看你离开带走你的小狗,
只怪我的公司无银,不能和你远走高飞,
没能与你食雪梨,也只怪我们没有缘份。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cai Yun的MLA 故事仔
諾沒有與你食雪梨繼續讓我喝一杯會吐血的香檳沉睡于夢
仿佛遠看你離開帶走你的小狗往哪小店口而入
耳聞MLA唱這那首她都不及你的法文詩
又聞動態度言語只怪我的公司沒銀
就如有緣歡喜小空間分享MLA大馬含含情音樂會~
親愛的醒醒看那小小飛機場會歌唱真動聽嗄
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loh Sing Yee的MLA 故事仔
你并非因我没有与你食雪梨而离开我。
只怪我的公司无银行肯融资而倒闭,
你见我没钱就撇下我另找处好码头。
看你离开带走你的小狗,我心欢畅:无须再忍受她丧吠。
但她都不及你的法文诗,你日夜朗诵的诗是垃圾,
听多让人发狂。现在让我喝一杯会吐血的香槟,
边庆祝边慢慢血写你的丑陋面。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
谢谢
