Stereolab
Interesting indie post pop etc... more
Robert Altman
In the 70s, perhaps no one like him. Even overall, I would rank him among my top 10 favorite directors. more
Mechanical Poet -Woodland Prattlers
Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas" meets prog-metal. The result is a remarkably crafted album, definitely inspired. more
Sigur Rós
I didn't know that they pleased Natalie... Natalie where are you... please come back to me...... RRRRRRRRRRRemix.... more
Dave Grohl
Come on more
Metz
A magnificent debut. ''METZ'' is a youthful, fast, and simultaneously dissonant album. Noise and Hardcore to savor in about thirty minutes. The first act of this band from Toronto (Canada) strongly recalls Nirvana's debut album: ''Bleach''. I find it strange that no one has defined them yet, but for now, I'm giving the band a 4/5 while waiting for their next album (if there will be one). more
Zero assoluto
Putting 3 gives me chills. I understand 5 more. But how can you? more
The God Machine -One Last Laugh In A Place Of Dying
A musical puzzle like few others, for one of the best albums of the entire nineties. A wall of sound of staggering proportions, blending hard, alternative, stoner, post, dark, hints of ethnic music, power and melody, acoustic inserts of crystalline beauty... they lasted for another album of equal worth and craftsmanship. Then came the darkness and the surrender after the bassist's death. "Let me Out, out, out...". more
The Brian Jonestown Massacre -Take It From the Man!
The best Stones record that the Stones haven’t made since that fucking masterpiece called "Exile On Main St."... Ancient, but cool. A solid 4.5 more
The Rolling Stones -Beggars Banquet
After the disappointing for many Their Satanic Majesties Request (not for me, anyway), the Rolling Stones return to the blues of their origins, crafting a fierce and determined album that is fundamental in their discography. "Sympathy For The Devil," "No Expectation" (last contribution of Jones to the band), "Parachute Woman," great tracks for a great album... more
Pixies
Surf, Garage, ''Alternative'', Hardcore, Power Pop, Silence and Destruction, Melodies and Distortions. A great, happy, and fitting blend. The Pixies have been the foundation and reference point for many bands and musicians. It's unnecessary to say that Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are my favorites (the others like Bossanova I like less but they are still worth a listen). more
Dire Straits -Alchemy
And what about this? Simply wonderful... more
Death
Ah..... outrageously fantastic band, from their raw and amazing debut with Scream Bloody Gore to the fantastic Leprosy and the progressive albums like Individual Thought Patterns or Symbolic. Never banal or in any way repetitive (e.g. Cannibal Corpse), creating music and lyrics that almost bordered on poetry and philosophy. CREATORS and REFINERS of Death Metal as a whole. An essential band for lovers of Music. more
The Doors
Big Big Big, my favorite album still remains L.A. Woman (together with "The Doors," of course): Psychedelic and badass blues rock. more
The Gun Club
Rituals in the moonlight, Blues, Voodoo, Country, Punk, demons, drugs, even a pinch of darkness. This is the Gun Club. I love them and I will love them until the grave. more
Slint
"When Hardcore Grew Up" quote. more
Dire Straits -Dire Straits
I have it in both CD and vinyl format. A striking debut, pristine and stunning from Knopfler's band, perhaps their best for sound and style. Besides the very popular "Sultans of Swing," worth mentioning are the airy and beautiful intro of "Down to Waterline," the groovy "Six Blade Knife" (damn, the bass!), and the bluesy "In the Gallery." Wonderful. more
Charles Bukowski
I can't find a more sincere writer than him, I can't find one who didn’t want to teach you anything like he did, but instead taught me a lot. Simply my favorite writer alongside Pirandello and Dostoevsky. more
