Sophia -There Are No Goodbyes
The latest album by Sophia, the band of Robin Proper-Sheppard, dates back to 2009; and listening to it is indeed a supreme and rightful pleasure for those who have loved and still love the musical poetry of a band that has made simplicity in execution one of its core elements. The languid notes that accompany the flow of "A Last Dance (To Sad Eyes)" where a repeated and mournful guitar sound gives way to a chorus that is so melodic, so eternal...Essential... more
Dirty Three
Heartbreaking post-rock with violin strokes! You find them by adding Black Heart Procession to Calexico and multiplying it all by Mogwai... Nice mathematical formula: I like it! more
Renaissance -Ashes are burning
An intense and emotive prog rock. Haslam's voice is tear-jerking, it's that beautiful and crystal clear! more
The B-52s
Parodic and surreal new wave. "Fumettosi"... B-52's Rock Lobster

Mind Funk
Americans from New Jersey born at the end of the eighties; a short career, with only three albums released. A metal-funk with thrash influences that made the sound devastating and hypnotic; noteworthy are the self-titled debut from 1991 and "Dropped" from 1993... misunderstood... more
Joy Division
Pathological. Among the post-punk bands that have left the most significant mark on me... more
Screaming Trees
They didn't achieve the commercial success of many other inferior groups. Lanegan, however, knew better. more
Rodriguez -Cold Fact
What a lovely discovery this album from 1970 is: rock, pop, soul, blues, etc... An album that flows like water with winning melodies and a relaxing sound. more
Quentin Tarantino
Perhaps the most overrated director of all time (but when it comes to cinema, it's better if I keep quiet). more
Carlo Verdone
5 stars for Bianco Rosso e Verdone, Borotalco, Un Sacco Bello, Acqua e Sapone, Compagni di scuola. Then it starts to be modest until the post-2000s where it begins to deserve 2 stars. All this from a directorial standpoint; as an actor, he has always been good. 5 stars because I'm fond of them; otherwise, I would give 4. more
Christopher Nolan
The Dark Knight gives me chills at the end every time I watch it again. The trilogy is great, a unique Batman. Memento is really excellent, The Prestige is almost a masterpiece, with Inception it has dropped a bit but it remains very good. Now we await Interstellar. more
Killing Joke -Killing Joke
5 palettes are just too few. The joke that kills more
Pere Ubu
"Modern Dance" and "Dub Housing" immense!!! Thomas a madman more
James Senese
Extraordinary more
Eminem -The Marshall Mathers LP
Masterpiece of success: excellent wordplay, outstanding beats, and a strong presence of melodic singing (which is also excellent). Crafted down to the last detail (despite the success being practically guaranteed), listen to it and listen to it again: not a single rhyme out of place, it's hard to get bored even for a second. Essential for anyone wanting to get closer to rap music and even for those who don’t. A must-listen, especially for those who often utter oxymorons like "rap=crap." more
Cradle Of Filth -Dusk And Her Embrace
I recommend the version with the bonus tracks (the one shaped like a coffin), which contains the excellent "Carmilla's Masque." Perhaps the best by Cradle of Filth; while I decide, I'm going to re-listen to the first and third albums.. rating 4.5/5 more
Mega Drive
In contrast to the majority who relied on the well-known Super Nintendo, this worthy console, passed down from a previous generation of gamers, marked the first part of my childhood. Then, in the second part, came THE console (and you all know which one) that swept away all the others. more
James Blunt
Voice similar to that of Placebo, whom I already couldn't stand. So just imagine.
Bilateral orchitis. more
