A place above Bolzano, wives, friends, children, chestnuts, must, a livid sun barely warming, autumn colors:
G__à: Rivo, what have you bought recently that you would recommend to me?
Rivo: I got a really spectacular Beastie Boys DVD. You must get it, Giuà, YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST.
G__à: Really? I've always liked them a lot even though I've seen few videos, maybe one with them on a terrace "rapping"
R: ..and the one for "Sabotage" with them like Starsky and Hutch, haven't you seen it?
G_: No, at least, I don't remember...
R: No, Giuà, you're missing a multimedia masterpiece!! Believe me!! As soon as you get back to Berlin, go get it!!!!
G_: Damn... Rivo, you're tempting me..
R: No Giuà, you have no idea. I was awake until 2 am the other night because I kept fiddling with the DVD. Basically, it's 2 DVDs (!!!) and for every video, there are special inserts, remixes, director's cuts, in short, additional video and audio tracks. The graphics are amazing, it feels like being on a website but obviously with super quality. I can't tell you how many hours it takes to see it all, it took me half an hour just for "Sabotage".
G_: but how does it work?
R: when the DVD starts, it asks if you want to watch the videos in sequence or if you want the special inserts. You obviously choose the latter and start navigating the DVD. It's awesome! There are all the best videos, most of which we have never seen, not even late at night on MTV. For me, the best ones are after the absolute masterpiece "Sabotage", the one inspired by Diabolik "Body Movin'", "Shadrach" from Paul's Boutique..
G_: Paul's Boutique? What album is that??
R: The second, one of my favorites along with Ill Communication.
Turkish: I have the one where they are inside a sardine can...
Rivo's Wife: that's the last one, Intergalactic!
G_: so, what do you recommend?
R: No Giuà, you don't get it. You absolutely must get the DVD, and then I recommend Paul's Boutique and Ill Communication
A few days later, in a meeting, forgotten phone left on...
Ring Ring .... Ring Ring ...
Rivo: [damn...!! I didn't turn it off! But who is it with the private number?] do you mind if I answer?
The Other: go ahead, no problem.
Rivo: Hello?
G__à: Rivo?
R: can I call you back after I...
G_: No Rivo, please, what was the name of the DVD because I'm in the store?
