Bob Dylan -Shadows In the Night
Dylan sings Frank Sinatra part one. An admiration from the songwriter of Duluth that, as he himself will say at the time of the album's release, comes from afar. 'When you start doing these songs, Frank's got to be on your mind. Because he is the mountain. That’s the mountain you have to climb, even if you only get part of the way there. And it’s hard to find a song he did not do. People talk about Frank all the time. He had this ability to get inside of the song in a sort of a conversational way. Frank sang to you—not at you. I never wanted to be a singer that sings at somebody. I’ve always wanted to sing to somebody. Certainly nobody worshipped Sinatra in the '60s like they did in the '40s. But he never went away—all those other things that we thought were here to stay, they did go away. But he never did.' more
Bob Dylan -Fallen Angels
After 'Shadows In the Night' (2015), Bob Dylan once again sings Frank Sinatra in his new and latest album titled 'Fallen Angels'. The thirty-seventh studio album and an ideal follow-up to the previous record, it features twelve songs written by various authors (Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn...) and all of these, except for 'Skylark', have previously been interpreted by Sinatra. Clearly, in this case, as usual, much of the criticism (in addition to the fact that it is a cover album) is directed at his voice and interpretive abilities, which over the years have only gained more expressiveness. And then, in these specific cases here, it is well known that he loves to adopt this lovesick tomcat voice. It’s one of the typical vices he has always succumbed to throughout his career. more

Vinicio Capossela
The only piece I can appreciate is this one for obvious reasons (I'm not slapping a 1 on all of this) Italia - Marocco da Tre uomini e una gamba di Aldo Giovanni e Giacomo other than that he's always been your classic alternative freak who, however, attracted his kind, a notorious bon vivant and serial pick-up artist of curvy women somewhere between goth and an exaggerated alternative lifestyle. His melodies are slightly tedious, and the fact that he is a symbol of salon artists certainly doesn't increase my love for him.

Afterhours
An unsustainably intellectual, snobbish, annoying, pathetic, nauseating, slimy, stinking, greasy band, with a frontman who (it is said) has never washed his hair and carries a genuine stench of fried food and squashed flies, eternally communist, all reasons to make us love them. I give it a 3 because after two excellent albums, they have fallen flat below the scrotum, and this news has kind of killed me X Factor 10: in giuria Agnelli, Alvaro Soler, Fedez e Arisa more

Axl Rose
One has to give him credit for being a badass frontman in Guns N' Roses, but the rest is just him being an asshole and a justifiably steep career decline. 2 points for his early career with the Guns, otherwise it would definitely be a 1. more

Kiss -MTV Unplugged
It's pointless to compare it to the Unplugged by Alice (in my opinion, the absolute best), or to Nirvana's... All three are beautiful in different ways... In terms of intensity, emotions, sensations, etc... They may even be seen as freak shows by some or musicians with little technique, but when it comes to live performances, they hit hard like few others (they're not the best, obviously), and seeing the group reunited (even if just for a few songs) is always a pleasure! more

A dark comedy directed by Geoff Moore and David Posamentier. Doug Varney (Sam Rockwell) is a pharmacist in a small town leading an unhappy existence due to his wife's disaffection and the pressures from his father-in-law. His life changes when he meets the beautiful Elizabeth (Olivia Wilde), who introduces him to the fantastic world of drugs used for 'recreational' purposes. This will be the turning point for Doug's sad life, and after a series of events and twists typical of black comedy, he will finally manage to find himself and take back control of his life.
