Christian De Sica
Not a bad actor, indelibly (or "indelebbirmènte" as he would say) off to a rough start, for a quarter of a century playing in trash cinema and slapstick comedy (a good combination, the latter didn’t last long) under the fir tree, almost continuously from shortly after > until the negative zenith of 2015 (the impersonal ileostimulation of two years later, in short, the Ca-ca-ta SuperVacanze-prrt doesn’t even count) in which he plays the most boorish and petty of his characters...but well before the last bit of flattery with Boldi, CDS holds quite a different view in the Rai and Mediaset miniseries: self-deprecating, rarely weak in >, and phenomenal acting proof of the other side of the coin in >, where he honors the memory of the legendary dad (something that Claudio A. never managed). Career, in summary, tri-directional, and it doesn't stop here: also taking a fleeting glance/ear at his stints as a "mini-crooner" and jazz-ragtime singer with a proper band and not the sad DJs from the suburbs, eh eh çésss though! I give him a 3, hoping that at 70 he won’t fall back into the fake cinema scene, won’t jump into politics, won’t partake in disasters like Domenica Live, won’t catch COVID again, and maybe writes a nice detective novel that combines Nero Wolfe and Coliandro 🥴 more
Eels
Do you feel like a train has run over you, with a tram driven by a hippo on board?
Cheer up, there's the outstretched arm of Mr. E, he knows how you feel. more
Asia
Something good can be salvaged from their discography, but in general, it's all reheated and overcooked stuff. Outdated, heavy, and baroque sound. Their music is a genetically modified prog with keyboards, but in a really bad way. I think it can be defined as the most disappointing supergroup ever. "Heat of the moment" and "Go" are still two great singles. more

The Klezmorim
David Skuse, violinist, and Lev Liberman, flutist, were street performers in the mid-'70s in Berkeley, California. They were joined by David Julian Gray on clarinet, mandolin, lute, and violin, Greg Carageorge on double bass, and Laurie Chastain on violin, first becoming the Sarajevo Folk Ensemble and then, indeed, Klezmorim. One of the first bands to blend Klezmer, jazz, and improvisation with a festive and danceable approach: not surprisingly, they started out playing at parties and weddings. more
