PBS高端访谈:勺子乐队来到夏令营（在线收听）

Hari Sreenivasan: Spoon didn't just spend their summer on tour, they also made a quick stop in their hometown to meet with some young campers trying to follow in their footsteps. Newshour weekend's Christopher Booker has more.

Christopher Booker: Time spent at the Girls Rock Austin camp in Austin, Texas is time spent learning to play the drums, the keyboards and AC/DC. The week long day-camp for 8 to 17 year olds offers an A to Z education in rock n' roll…the campers are not only asked to pick up instruments, but challenged to think about the bigger questions that surround the world of music. Who are the people making music? And how can we add our voice?

Christopher Booker: Today during lunchtime the campers are getting an insider's view, with a performance by Austin's own, Spoon. After a three song set, the campers were invited to ask the band some questions.

Camper: How do you know what shows you should play?

Britt Daniel: Maybe you start with playing shows at the kind of places where the aesthetics appeal to you. If it is a place where you friends hang out, if it is a place you feel safe, that might be a good place to play.

Christopher Booker: Britt Daniel is Spoon's lead singer. Christopher Booker: What advice would you give to a young person that's saying, I'm thinking about really making a go of this. Would you advise them outside of the actual logistics of making a scene and things like that? Would you advise them: Yes it's a it's a viable option, or would you caution them?

Britt Daniel: I tell them to find that thing that you're obsessed with and just do it over and over again and do it because it's fun without too many other expectations. And that's how you get good.

哈里·斯里尼瓦桑：勺子乐队这个夏天不只做了巡演，他们还在故乡短暂停留了一下，跟一些参加夏令营的年轻人见了面。这些年轻人都有志于走上音乐道路。下面请听本台记者克里斯多夫·布克发回的周末详细报道。

克里斯多夫·布克：在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的奥斯汀女孩摇滚营地里，就能学习如何打鼓、弹键盘、体验一把当AC/DC的感觉。这次日间夏令营有一周的时间，为8-17岁的人准备，教授A-Z不同等级的摇滚知识……参加夏令营的人不仅要拿起乐器来玩儿，还要接受挑战——去思考与音乐世界有关的更大范围的问题。什么样的人会去做音乐？我们怎样添加自己的声音到音乐中？

克里斯多夫·布克：今天，在吃午饭的时候，参加夏令营的孩子们获得了以内部人士的角度来看待问题的机会——他们得以观看了奥斯汀勺子乐队的演出。在表演了三首歌曲之后，参加夏令营的人可以问勺子乐队一些问题。某参加者：你们是如何知道自己应该参加哪类表演呢？

布瑞特·丹尼尔：或许一开始，你们可以选择审美观跟自己相投的地方去表演。如果这个地方是你朋友会去逛的地方，如果这个地方让你有安全感，那么或许这是一个适合你们演奏的地方。

克里斯多夫·布克：布瑞特·丹尼尔是勺子乐队的主唱。对于哪种只是想尝试一下的年轻人，大神们有什么建议吗？你们是否会建议这样的年轻人不走寻常路，不去创造一个场景之类的做法呢？你们是否会建议说：是的，这是个可行的选择，或者你们会给一些警醒的建议吗？

布瑞特·丹尼尔：我会告诉他们找到自己感兴趣的东西，一遍一遍地做，因为很有乐趣，又不会抱有什么期待。这样的话，你们会越来越优秀的。
