Claudio Lolli
Simple, eternal friend of the misfits, of the homeless, a bit like a Guccini in a more melancholic and dramatic sauce, I saw him again in some interviews, toothless, with those four remaining hairs, in his woolen sweater, an average man a bit scruffy, here he is adorable for his simplicity. Intervista a Claudio Lolli.

Claudio Baglioni
The legend of the botox mountain.
Gone from being the classic annoying and dreamy gondolier (with sometimes embarrassing looks, here Falcao doesn’t know whether to laugh or hold back immagine:baglioni-falcao.jpg) to a conglomerate of injections, skin creams, and the recurring themes that have torn our prostates apart.
Laxative like few, extremely effective. more
Tad
The sons of pigs, never acknowledged by grunge fans and fake rock-alternative girls who praise the usual AIC, kurt cobbbbbein & company and ignore these bands simply because they are made up of stinking pigs and sons of bitches.
Bah. more
Gianluca Grignani
Egotistical, boastful, and arrogant weirdo who, after a decent album with interesting proposals, achieved success in the mid-90s (thanks to the look of the time, long hair, stuff like "I'm a cowbbbboy, I'm a ruokkk emericano, I'm deilann") with the famous little single "destinazione paradiso," which honestly already made me feel queasy—worse than a VHS of the best plays of Criscito... well... And nothing... after "destination paradise" came a mountain of smelly black crap and cocaine, total disgust. more
Terry Lee Hale -Bound, Chained, Fettered
Terry Lee Hale is Texan (and he feels it), but he lives in Europe in Marseille and recorded his album in Forlì with the production of Antonio Gramentieri and contributions from others in the Sacri Cuori circle. The album is a quality product, classy and arranged with style. The songs are obviously what we could define as classic made-in-USA ballads that have the desert or the landscapes of the frontier in the background. A 'genre' album in the strict sense, it doesn’t offer particular insights unless you are a big enthusiast or don’t particularly enjoy refined things. more
Richard Ashcroft -These People
A return that, as far as I’m concerned, was much anticipated, given that I’ve been quite a fan of Richard Ashcroft since I was a kid. 'Keys To the World' was and is objectively a gem in the genre of British pop music, and in some way, Richard seems to be trying to pick up where he left off. But the songs on this album lack any special strength. The tracks that should be the more winking ones ('Out of My Body') just don’t work, and all that’s left are a handful of decent ballads, among which are 'They Don't Own Me', 'Hold On', the title track, and 'Black Lines'. Not much to give it a positive score, but if it can be any consolation, in this year 2016, others of the same 'genre' like Suede or the Coral have managed to do much worse. He can very well rise again in the next episode. more
Alberto Fortis -Tra Demonio E Santità
Second album by Alberto Fortis after the eponymous one released the year before, where the strengths were two catchy yet provocative tracks like 'Milano e Vincenzo' and 'A voi romani,' which remains perhaps his most famous work. However, this album, 'Demonio e santità' (1980), appears overall much more interesting than its predecessor in terms of lyrics and themes addressed. Fortis himself, regardless of the content, seems more mature and in command of the 'scene,' delivering more convincing vocal performances that manage to convey to the listener the clash between good and evil that constitutes the main concept of the album. more
Tommy Lee Jones -The Homesman
Film written, directed, produced, and starring Tommy Lee Jones. The film is set in the mid-1800s in the old west and in what once constituted the 'frontier.' It is from here that Mary Bee (Hilary Swank) takes on the heavy task of transporting three women suffering from severe disorders and mental illnesses across the frontier, to Iowa, practically to the east. During the journey, she will meet and be assisted by George Briggs, a drifter and deserter whom she herself saves from hanging. It is an atypical western, where on one side the differences between the frontier world and life in the east of the country are highlighted, and on the other, the stories of the main characters are intertwined with the hallucinations of the three 'traveling' sick women. more
Mazzy Star
She has always had sex with me, it's pointless to hide. more
The Jam
Great Jam, "Setting Sons" and "In The City" remain classic mod-punk, the singles are also enjoyable. more
Def Leppard
Those whom Scaruffi Piero ("PS" "the one with the rankings" "the one who hates the Beatles and gives a 7 to Aqua") gave a damn 7 (to Pyromania, no less... which is a nice hard rock album but far from a 7) and a 6.5 to Hysteria... by this metric alone, they should be considered miraculous or hypothetically one of the greatest bands ever, according to Scaruffi's random demolitions.
Well, I really liked Hysteria and there are very enjoyable tracks, a fun album without too many frills, and I've always appreciated this characteristic of theirs. more
J&R Project
An extremely narcissistic and lustful man, pathologically and worryingly attached to classical music, has a visceral hatred not only for the aforementioned ELP but also for Allevi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cocciante ("simply atrocious"), Bocelli ("abomination"), Coldplay ("terrible, atrocious, unbearable, sentimental"), even Clooney ("clown") and anything that might even slightly touch his baroque and pompous fetishes—a very interesting and sometimes hilarious character, with whom I must agree on the definition of certain songbooks. more
Sundays & Cybele -Heaven
A very beautiful LP by this garage-psychedelic band from Tokyo, Japan. Released via the usual brilliant label Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Records, the band's sound can be described as both electric ('Empty Seas') and kaleidoscopic ('Almost Heaven', 'Hinagiku'). The album is enjoyable to listen to and therefore suitable for listeners who may not be deeply into the psychedelic genre. With elements reminiscent of the more rock and roll Velvet Underground and the revival of psychedelic music, there's also a hint of what we could call Eastern pop-art mixed with vintage soundtracks from Japanese cartoons.

Demetrio Stratos
The greatest frontman of all time, an alien, on another level compared to the rest. I refuse to define him as just a singer; he was something superior, something that enters your soul and leaves you speechless. That's who Demetrio Stratos was. more
Pablo Neruda
But if every day,
every hour
you feel that you are destined for me
with relentless sweetness.
If every day a flower rises
to your lips seeking me,
ah, my love, ah mine,
in me all that fire repeats,
in me nothing extinguishes or forgets,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will stay in your arms
without leaving mine. more
Roger Waters
Stubborn, paranoid, repetitive, obsessive, despotic.
Excellent more
Joy Division
Dark to the unbelievable, bad, thrilling, adrenaline-pumping, moving—what more do you want from this band? more
Francesco Renga
He is a good singer, he has a great voice, and he recorded that beautiful album "Camere Con Vista," but other than that, I have some things to say. more
Led Zeppelin -Led Zeppelin
Explosive debut for the greatest band of all time, which immediately proves to be gloriously epic. 9 songs 9 masterpieces. more
