Lucio Corsi -La Gente Che Sogna
Thanks to my Rosaspina (14/02/2025) more
Michael Curtiz -Casablanca
One of the most beautiful and important films of the 1940s and of cinema as a whole, a work that was discussed many years ago by Umberto Eco, who described its plot as something that transcended the idea of film itself and became legend. Strangely, no one has reviewed it on Debaser yet, so I'll take care of that. more
Curtis Mayfield -Superfly
Curtis Mayfield and Isaac Hayes were the main architects of the music that defined Blaxploitation. A Funk punch to the gut of America in the '70s. You can't miss it. more
Curtis Mayfield -Curtis
A unique voice and a distinctive writing ability defining a musical genre and an era. An essential album in the history of funk. more

Marco Castello -Contenta tu
Lately, I’ve been delving deeper into these relatively small Italian artists, and I must say I’m becoming quite passionate about them. I really appreciate the sounds and the tranquility that this album conveys. After a couple of listens, it’s inevitable to start humming along to the songs.

Contenta Tu is a mix of fresh sounds and melodies that span indie, pop, and a touch of folk. Its simplicity is exactly its strength: an album that makes you feel at home, without too many frills but with plenty of substance. The production is minimal yet well-crafted, with acoustic guitars accompanying Marco’s voice, creating an intimate and relaxing atmosphere.

One track that particularly struck me is "Cicciona." The song has a really catchy rhythm and a melody that gets stuck in your head from the very first listen. The lyrics are ironic and light-hearted, yet despite this, they manage to convey a positive message, almost like an invitation not to take oneself too seriously. It’s that song that makes you smile every time you hear it.

In short, this is an album not to be missed if you’re a fan of indie/pop (and I’d say a little bit of jazz and funky too!), but I think it could appeal to just about everyone. So give it a listen and let me know what you think! more
John Mayalls -A Hard Road
Outside Eric Clapton, inside Peter Green and John McVie. But the music doesn’t change; instead, it further defines the style of electric blues that will ignite millions of listeners and inspire a host of great musicians. Magnificent album. more
John Mayalls -John Mayall's Blusbreakers con Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton is to electric blues what John Mayall is to a launch platform in orbit. If Clapton became God, it was largely thanks to Mayall. An essential album. more
WAR -The World is a Ghetto
The world is a ghetto. Funk music has the job of breaking down the barriers that confine us to this ghetto. Long live funk. more

Terry Callier -What Color Is Love
An intense and magnificent album, made unique by the music and the warm voice of Callier. Essential in every club. more
Bill Fay
He managed to leave a great musical legacy despite the few recording opportunities he had and despite a 40-year hiatus. Immense. more

Lucio Corsi -Cosa faremo da grandi?
Thanks to my Rosaspina! (02/23/2025) more
Falloppio
An artist. In other words, a creator of works endowed with aesthetic value in the fields of popular and high culture. more
Hayao Miyazaki -Laputa: Castello Nel Cielo
A cornerstone work (along with "Nausicaä" from two years earlier) on which the entire cinematography and the entire artistic thought of Master Miyazaki rests. Captivating, a work without which "Spirited Away" or "Howl's Moving Castle" could not have existed. The first ten minutes are among the most breathtaking in all of animated cinema. more
David Lynch & Alan R. Splet -Eraserhead
A powerful, genius film, not suitable for the more sensitive stomachs, sometimes (perhaps) a bit too in love with itself and its own horror, but it's among Lynch's peaks, just starting out (he had a few short films under his belt). A stunning black and white and a truly unforgettable protagonist. more
Grayson Capps
Saw them in concert recently...very good! more
