Roberto Vecchioni -Robinson, come salvarsi la vita
SydBarrett96
Beautiful, inspired album, one of the best ever. At least three masterpieces: "Mi manchi," "Lettera da Marsala" (the first time I heard it, I almost cried), and "Vorrei." Fabulous cover by Paz. more

Ivan Graziani — Malelingue | DeRank™: 0,12

A good album, which represents Ivan's commercial comeback after the unfortunate "Cicli E Tricicli" and a return to the themes of the province typical of the singer-songwriter. The song "Maledette Malelingue" can be understood as a continuation of "Pigro" (as confirmed by Ivan himself) due to its critical and sharp lyrics towards gossipers and the self-righteous. more

At first, I found "Yellow," "Clocks," and "Trouble" to be very enjoyable songs. Today, they are a parody of themselves, what a shame. The latest single is garbage. more

Waxahatchee — Early Recordings | DeRank™: 0,00

'Cerulean Salt' (Wichita, 2013) I liked a lot, to the point that I considered it one of the best albums released that year, and in the same way, I found the subsequent and critically acclaimed 'Ivy Tripp,' released last year, to be irrelevant, mundane, even superfluous. This EP, on the other hand, forcibly reconciles me with Waxahatchee (aka Katie Crutchfield) and her more indie and lo-fi nature, which is what I have always appreciated about her. It couldn't be otherwise, after all, since 'Early Recordings' (Merge Records) is nothing more than a collection of a handful of songs (five) written in 2011 and until now only released on cassette. Beautiful as a breath of fresh air. more

Roberto Vecchioni -L'uomo che si gioca il cielo ai dadi
SydBarrett96
Half an anthology of the professor's first repertoire that, although somewhat immature and still "in nuce," contains 3-4 masterpieces ("Luci a San Siro," "Povero ragazzo," "La tua assenza," and the eponymous piece) and a good number of other very beautiful and poetic pieces. The best is yet to come, however. more

Uberto Pasolini — Still Life | DeRank™: 0,00

This beautiful film by Italian director Uberto Pasolini tells the story of a lonely man who dies alone. John May (Eddie Marsan) works as a municipal clerk and is responsible for tracing the relatives of the deceased who have passed away in complete solitude. John leads an ordinary life devoid of notable emotions, and feeling somehow connected to these individuals who lost their lives without anyone by their side, he performs his work with the utmost commitment, trying to give it a broader meaning. This is not only a genuine research job and the final tribute to the deceased during the funeral, but also an ideal reconciliation, time after time, of friends and family with the departed person. The film received several well-deserved awards at the Venice Film Festival in 2013. more

The Mystery Lights -The Mystery Lights
sotomayor
First LP on Wick Records by this New York-based psych garage band released on June 24. It practically struck me at first listen because it's immediately easy-listening while also rightly electric and acidic. The sounds have an evident vintage taste, drawing from the garage music of the sixties, along with some rhythm and blues nuances that may follow. All characteristics that, more than pointing to the Strokes—given that both bands are from New York and Casablancas’ band was once considered an heir and witness to the great legacy of the city’s garage and suburban heritage—bring to mind bands like Night Beats, Mystic Braves, and the usual Ty Segall. An debut that can only be described as astonishing. more

James C. Strouse — Grace Is Gone | DeRank™: 0,00

Dramatic film directed by James C. Strouse, featuring John Cusack in the lead role. The film tells the story of a man, father of two little girls, who loses his wife, killed in Iraq, where she was on a mission for the United States Army. The news seriously undermines the already fragile domestic tranquility of the protagonist, who, overwhelmed by panic and unsure of how to tell his daughters, decides to take them on a trip. It’s a beautiful film, well-directed, that effectively depicts the interactions between the father and the two girls, and also attempts, albeit without going too deep, to touch upon the theme of the war in Iraq and to criticize it for what it has truly been. Perhaps one could (or should?) have dared more in this regard. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -Tender Prey
bluesboy94
One song surpasses the other, that’s what makes this album great.
Post Scriptum: I may be cliché, but in my opinion, after this masterpiece, Cave will never reach these levels again (with a repertoire that has nonetheless been enriched afterward by works like "The Good Son," "Henry's Dream," etc.). more
