The Pretty Things -Emotions
It may not be on the level of the irresistible Get the Picture, but I really enjoyed this one as well. Cleaner, less raw and wild, more mature, more melodic, and vaguely psychedelic—it's the best possible transition between the PT of 1965 and those of S.F. Sorrow. Not everything lives up to the masterpiece, but it has some unforgettable tracks (for example, the opening track, "House of Ten," and "My Way"). For me, a very beautiful record, 4 generous stars. more
The Rolling Stones
After Exile, it's better to let it go, but the poker dealt between '68 and '72 is legendary, 4 essential albums that have now become an integral part of my DNA. I'm not fond of certain forced and misplaced comparisons, but surely the Rolling Stones crushed them like cockroaches hehe. more
Uochi Toki
Incredible texts that deeply analyze behaviors, thoughts, ways of doing things, amid a thousand mental gymnastics and many other nice little things that I really enjoy. more
Enrico Ruggeri
An exceptional yet overrated singer-songwriter, currently the best in Italy, able to write true poetry, a complete artist on all fronts who spans many genres in his songs, if only there were more like him. more
The Rolling Stones -Beggars Banquet
The beginning of the Stones' peak period (or messiness). The path is set: Rock 'n' roll, Blues, Country, R&B, Folk, with Jones' influence increasingly diminished, and the (likeable) diabolical duo becoming ever more in control. A masterpiece. more
The Rolling Stones -Beggars Banquet
The best of the best toppers. more
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Once you enter the Cave of Nicola and his wicked little friends, getting out is tough! more
Nirvana -With the lights out
I really appreciated how this wonderful retrospective was curated (by Endino) to showcase the spirit of Nirvana: it reminds me of a reflection made by the Wipers about the fact that only with something extremely raw can one achieve a crystalline purity. more
Sigur Rós -( )
I have a conflicted relationship with this album. I must say it’s beautiful, but I can't listen to it all the time. Back then, I found it soporific. Now I love it. And to think it's the only album of theirs that I adore; the others I've listened to leave me completely indifferent. No information about the cover. The booklet consists of semi-transparent white pages of paper, like the kind used to wrap cheese. Strange but quite fascinating. more
Orka
Damn! more
Genesis -Nursery Cryme
Wonderful from the first to the last note, especially highlighting the great The Musical Box and The Fountain of Salmacis... I've let them gather too much dust lately, I think I will listen to them much more. more
Orka
Mysterious group from the Faroe Islands ???. The equipment used in their work is entirely homemade and reprocessed in the studio. They have two works to their name, the second one "Oro" is a small masterpiece of dark avant-pop with an industrial heritage. ORKA - Tað vakrasta

Roberto Bolaño
For now, I only know the immense 2666 and just for that it deserves a perfect score; I will definitely get more! more
Jesse
Yo (Bitch). more
Walter Junior
Filthy misery how much it gets on my nerves. How much it gets on my nerves. How much it gets on my nerves. He’s not a human, he’s a crutch-holder. Except for the very last episodes, there I noticed his actual existence. But in a series like this, he too is welcome, him and his shit cereals. more
Heisenberg
How much it annoys me when he cuts the edges of the toast. And then, why does he only cut them after filling them? :-DDDD more
The Everly Brothers
Revolutionary vocal harmonies in their simplicity. An essential influence for dozens of artists since the Sixties, with Simon & Garfunkel and the Beatles leading the way. Is that enough? more
Covenant
Crazed bastards, massacring them in "Halo" was a real thrill... more
Lubricated Goat -Plays The Devil's Music
The first work from that twisted mind of Stu Spasm and his brawling companions. I'm afraid it's been out of print for years. Filthy noise-blues from Australia... Never was a title more fitting for an album. more
