Porcupine Tree -Lightbulb Sun
paired with the masterpiece "In Absentia" (my favorite by Porcupine Tree), for me the best moment of Porcupine Tree. A splendid album. more
Mr. Bungle -Disco Volante
Ostia! A record that I've worn out. Much to the delight of the neighbors. more
Canada
(vote for the country) - yesterday Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen... today Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen... could it be that Darwin, with this whole evolution thing, didn't understand a thing...? more
The Housemartins
a bubbly and refreshing drink of beat, northern soul, R&B, and plenty of irony. Irresistible. THE HOUSEMARTINS-Happy Hour  more
Giuliano Sangiorgi
Is he that shapeless mass in the photo? If so, any further description is unnecessary.. more
The Rip Offs -Got a Record
Best punk rock album of the '90s more
Outrageous Cherry -Out There in the Dark
Another small masterpiece by Matthew Smith and company, released in '99. 13 low-fidelity gems, featuring sticky and beautiful freakbeat melodies ("Georgie don't you Know," "Togheterness," "Corruptable"), garage punk outbursts ("Song for Inoshiro Honda"), and lysergic wonders (the almost Barrett-esque "Eclipsed," the stunning title track, and the long interstellar trip of the closing "There's No Escape From The Infinite")_The Detroit of recent years, nothing compared to the White Stripes.. more
Glassjaw
A perfect balance between energy, schizophrenic violence, and melodies that can cradle you like few others, a band that experiments and dares just the right amount (although this is a subjective aspect), Daryl is an exceptional and truly versatile singer, capable of singing in an emotional, violent, and direct way all at once.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence is an album of rare beauty. more
Metamorfosi -Inferno
One of the few italo-prog that I truly appreciate. more
Giuliano Sangiorgi
Every time he picks up a microphone, a child dies in Africa. more
Outrageous Cherry -The Book of Spectral Projections
Matthew Smith was a bit of a genius in my opinion. And this album from 2001 is a masterpiece of raw psychedelic garage pop. An album I've worn out, along with its predecessor, the equally cool "Out There In The Dark." They may be revivalists, yes, but damn, Matthew had something extra: he knew how to write fantastic songs. more
Mötley Crüe
"Yes, it's true, we once ended up together in the same hotel... you can't imagine what happened that night... I don't remember much, but we had a blast... believe me, those guys are the biggest assholes, bastards, motherfuckers I've ever known, I haven't had that much fun in at least ten years!" Lemmy Kilmster, from rockahrd, February 2013. more
Genesis
No one can outsmart them on the progressive fairy-tale, bucolic, romantic, floral, rustic, imaginative, and Renaissance. more
The The
Strange character Matt Johson, aka THE THE. A ghost that occasionally reappears with albums that are more than good, like "Soul Mining" from 1983, "DUSK" from '93 for example. Music that blends warm new wave, soul, funk, and synth pop. A character who certainly doesn't love the spotlight. The The-Uncertain Smile  more
Dissidenten
a multiracial German group that in the mid-80s combined Western school beats with rhythms and sounds from Arabic and Middle Eastern influences, achieving very encouraging results. A kind of Worldbeat that owes much to the insights of ENO/BYRNE in "My Life IN The Bush Of Ghost" a few years earlier. Dissidenten (Germany) Vs Larsad (Morocco)

Agatha Christie
10 Little Indians, Murder on the Orient Express, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd particularly stunning, but all the others I've read are at a high level :)
Great Agatha ;) more
Robin Thicke
Good girl!!! I know you want it, I know you want it, you're a good girl!!!!!! :D
It's really gotten on my nerves, okay, it goes straight into the shit category even if the quality of this shit is slightly better than the shit that's constantly thrown at us...
In 3 months, it will return from where it came, Bye bye Robin :) more
Terry Riley -Persian Surgery Dervishes
great test of creative humility more
