David Remnick: 本节目介绍了Lake Street Dive乐队的发展历程，从最初依靠贝斯手在歌曲创作比赛中获得的奖金录制第一张专辑，到在小型场馆进行多年的巡演，最终登上麦迪逊广场花园的舞台。期间，乐队经历了成员更迭，但始终保持着快乐的表演风格和深厚的成员情谊。 乐队音乐风格融合了Americana、流行、乡村和摇滚等多种元素，深受乐迷喜爱。David Remnick个人认为乐队成员间的深厚感情和快乐的表演风格是乐队成功的关键因素之一。 Rachel Price: 乐队成员间深厚的友谊和对快乐的追求是乐队克服早期巡演艰辛，并持续发展的重要动力。在音乐创作方面，乐队成员会集体参与，有时甚至会使用骰子来决定歌曲的节奏、和弦和拍号，这种创作方式既充满趣味性，也体现了乐队成员间的默契与合作。 Bridget Kearney: 乐队在麦迪逊广场花园的演出灵感来自于Billy Joel，希望演出能营造出亲密而温馨的氛围，如同一个巨大的Dive Bar。乐队在音乐学院期间，选择演奏融合多种音乐风格的音乐，而非传统的爵士乐或古典乐，这是一种突破性的举动。乐队最初的构想是能够在小型酒吧演奏，能够吸引各种类型的听众。乐队音乐风格难以定义，可以被形容为浪漫喜剧的配乐、溜冰音乐或高端葡萄酒的意境。 Mike Calabrese James Cornelison Aki Burris: 新专辑的概念是“快乐的反抗”，旨在表达一种持久积极的情绪，而非短暂的愤怒或沮丧。歌曲“Set Sail (Prometheus & Eros)”的创作灵感来自于对未来世界末日后人类生存的想象，以及对普罗米修斯和厄洛斯这两个希腊神话人物的重新诠释。Mavis Staples的音乐和表演风格对乐队产生了影响，启发了他们探索更广泛的情感表达。歌曲“Shame, Shame, Shame”的创作灵感是权力人物利用权力解决个人恩怨，导致他人受苦。音乐可以团结人们，让人们感受到共同的追求和目标。乐队没有一首特别火的单曲对乐队发展是件好事，因为这能让乐队拥有更广泛的受众群体。

Shownotes Transcript

Lake Street Dive recorded their first album with money that their bassist won in a songwriting contest. They built a following the old-fashioned way, touring small venues for years and building a loyal following of fans—including David Remnick—who thought of them as an under-the-radar secret. Almost twenty years later, the band finds themselves onstage at Madison Square Garden. “My main inspiration for playing M.S.G. is Billy Joel,” the bassist Bridget Kearney said. “It feels like the club when he’s playing there, because he’s so comfortable there. . . . Like, ‘Welcome to my monthly gig, here again at Madison Square Garden.’ It won’t be quite like that for us . . . but I’d love it if we could in some ways make it feel intimate, make it feel like it’s a gigantic dive bar.”

They joined David Remnick in the studio at WNYC to perform “Good Together”and “Set Sail (Prometheus & Eros),” from their new album, and “Shame, Shame, Shame,” an older song about a Donald Trump-like “big man” who doesn’t “know how to be a good man.”
