Alex Turner
Little idiot making crap music, and coincidentally playing in a crap band, the Arctic Monkeys. more
The Who -It’s Hard
They had told me it was tough... I should have listened to them. more
Goldfrapp
Talented and versatile, even if not always with great results (see the nonetheless respectable "Head First"). more
Birdy
Sublime voice and crystal-clear talent, hoping she doesn't go off the rails like so many singers of her (and my) age. more
The Algorithm
Let's raise the average. more
The Algorithm
I found one of the crappiest new bands I've ever heard... hooray! more
Don Caballero
They break your ass. more
Opeth
Only now do I realize that I hadn't defined them yet. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -Nocturama
Among the last to truly move me, great ballads and interesting writing even if not at the level of past masterpieces, even some memories of the distant (and toxic) Berlin days in "Dead Man In My Bed" - Blixa is magnificent - and in the EXHAUSTING "Babe I'm On Fire." more
The Boys Next Door
a legend, now buried under jackets with very questionable taste... Boys Next Door - Alternative Animals (3/3)
 more
Pere Ubu -The Modern Dance
One of the few albums for which the term masterpiece is an understatement! more
Flying Saucer Attack -Flying Saucer Attack
The first album by F.S.A., still lost amid thick shoegaze fogs of feedback and distortions, distant voices, and heroin-like atmospheres. Beautiful, to say the least. Then with the subsequent masterpiece, Further, they will surpass themselves even further; there, the fog of noise gives way to a static, acoustic, and dreamy calm... more
Minutemen
The greatest punk band of all time. more
Cher
The best piece of plastic in America. more
Corrado Guzzanti
He saw Jesus on the Rome-L'Aquila! more
Talk Talk
One of my favorite bands from the 80s, everything was great including live performances and the career of the master Hollis, a voice/band too often forgotten. The Colour of Spring and the excellent The Spirit of Eden are forges of inspired and musically fantastic tracks, truly worth rediscovering and loving. more
Minutemen -Paranoid Time
Fabulous EP. For heaven's sake, it is certainly their most immature work alongside "The Punch Line," but just like this, it represents a very clear statement of intent. And then there's Watt's bass in "Definitions"... more
