Virginia Woolf
"I will continue to dare, to change, to open my mind and my eyes, refusing to be boxed in and stereotyped. What matters is to liberate one's self: to let it find its dimensions, to have no constraints." more
Judas Priest -British Steel
Epoch-making record for heavy music, not like that crap from AC/DC, Melvins, and Kyuss. more
Primal Fear
Do you miss the Judas Priest of Painkiller and Ram It Down? These five Germans are probably the ones who come closest to their sound; they may not deliver anything groundbreaking, but they are more than enjoyable. more
Netflix
I can't do without it anymore.... more
Bruce Cockburn -Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws
Fingers twisted around the guitar, as always, but with an enticing marimba added in. A spirit happier than usual thanks to a reciprocated love. A sunny and joyful album, unusual for the Canadian singer-songwriter. Some adore him, while others detest him; as for me, I’ll tell you this... number 1 forever, and this is the album I love the most. more
The Kinks
Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri-la.
Ray Davies's work is anthropological, a keen participant observation of the shortcomings of modern Western man. Finally emancipated, free to drink tea, take photos, buy a proper hat, drive a thousand miles, emigrate to Australia where fortune resides. Free to fill his head with nonsense, paranoia, frustrations, with ego and its envies.
The Kinks blend self-deprecating social criticism with a melodic flair that is beyond competition. They paint provocations that have no walls, describing the great carousel of monotony with the lightness of those who know how to make fun of themselves.
These are just a few reasons that place the band among the greatest pop artists ever. The existential void that Ray sings about was relevant in the '60s of economic growth and will still be tomorrow, when the economic man continues to invent caricatures of himself. more
Santana -Amigos
musical turnaround....out with the jazz-fusion, back to Latin R&B...we're still on a good level! more
Bob Dylan
Having been, being to this day, and unfortunately will be until the day of his departure, which I hope is on the horizon, the biggest freeloader that the history of music has ever known is directly proportional to his gigantic face of putrid excrement. more
New Trolls -Concerto Grosso Per I New Trolls
You who only know "Aldebaran" or "Quella carezza della sera" by the New Trolls, you who know nothing of the epic of Italian prog, I look at you and I weep. more
Isaac Asimov
Pioneer of science fiction. Together with Silverberg, he wrote Robot NDR-113. A novel that made me dream. more
Radiohead
At most 2, 3 records, then so much so much SHIT. more
Bedhead
Calm. Peace. Resignation.
The best band of the '90s more
Gatto Panceri -Succede a chi ci crede
An unfulfilled promise. A pearl drowned in the garbage that surrounded it. more
Supertramp -Breakfast In America
a hugely successful album but full of substance.
Supertramp at their best! more
Adriano Celentano
One more star for the trash value. more
Various Artists -X Factor 4
Well, from the first (from 2009 if I remember correctly) to the fourth Igz-fagdor I had plenty of fun, but after that, with the exception of Mara Dixit (which brushes against being trashy but makes you laugh until you fold in half), it turned into a concentrate of clichés, falsehoods, arrogance, cringe-worthy exchanges among the judges, and odious, ambiguous propaganda accompanied by cyclical mutilations of "song-manifestos" (as long as they mutilated just one in the entire edition it could still work after all) with intentionally endless breakdowns of the finals... and here’s the decisive seal httppealityshow.blogosfere.it/amp/p ost/506570/renato-zero-i-giovani-no n-hanno-bisogno-di-talent-show-per- crescere-sono-stanco-di-vedere-most ri. more
Linkin Park
The meRdal that you can find in chocolate eggs or in bags of chips. more
Albano Carrisi
Oh, flying muses, old fool, that you are no other. more
Antonio Monda -L'indegno
New York serves as the nighttime backdrop to a dark and profound story, a bit Lou Reed and a bit Leonard Cohen.
For lovers of the Big Apple. more
Leonard Cohen -You Want It Darker
Emotional spiritual testament. A must-see for poetry lovers. more
