Incredible live performance, historic, one of the best and most charismatic ever. Technically flawless, it falls just short of perfection due to a slight "out of tune" moment from Ian Gillan in Highway Star, but those are just details. more
They deserve a 5 just for this masterpiece of music history Jocko Homo (original version)

Spatial, a masterpiece that encompasses various different genres (prog rock, psychedelic rock) and is seminal for the music to come. "Oh Yeah" is an orgasm. more
With Tarantino, he gave his best. more
I would enjoy discovering her. more
Cosmic spiritual journeys. The comparison with the Underworld is a bit daring, but it fits. more
He may be a poet, but he's artistically overrated. I find him and Venditti nauseating, but at least Roberto's last name justifies the stuff he still produces today. more
"Best times to play Royal Trux: Twin Infinitives
On a family road trip
Your wedding dance
The Beach on a sunny day
Walking down the street in your leather jacket with a boombox on your shoulder
When your newborn child will not stop crying
When girl scouts come to your door delivering cookies
Having a passionate lovemaking session with your significant other
Pumping iron at the gym
When Trout Mask Replica is playing simultaneously
Your funeral" more
A couple of gems (like the title track and Kings and Queens), plus various highly enjoyable tracks! (3.5) more
Probably their most underrated album! more
1990s: a time of great popularity for "boybands" in the pop landscape. In terms of fame, they were second only to Take That. The formula was always more or less the same: five guys (Nick, Brian, Kevin, Howard, A.J.), sweet voices (usually one sings while the others provide backing vocals), good looks, and music videos featuring dance routines in unlikely settings to show off some pecs (not to mention Nick's outrageous hair, which set trends for— in my opinion—too many years). But if you were a teenage MTV addict back then, you were humming along too! more
The greatest rock band of all time. Reasons? I couldn't even tell you... When I first heard them, I had the absolute certainty that I was dealing with some fucking geniuses. I'm not talking about innovation; I'm talking about ability, that of the airship soaring high in the sky of rock without ever falling, reaching incredibly high peaks. The innovation of Led Zeppelin lies in having superbly and uniquely fused together their major influences, such as blues, folk, and rock 'n roll. When I think of the quintessential band, I think of the airship. more
Beautiful album of dronic and experimental electronic music released by the duo formed by Brendon Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp in 2013 via Thrill Jockey Records. I'm not usually a big fan of the genre, but I can't help but consider this album one of the best long sessions of ambient music I've ever listened to. Particularly inspired, the prolonged listening experience transports you to an ideal continental dimension between what could be the myth of Atlantis and the age of great explorations, before knowing every single square meter of our planet. A journey that you can practically undertake only inside your mind. more
New, yet another band from the neo-psych wave coming from Chile. This is the first album by Trementina (soon on tour in Europe), a band that is more accurately defined as shoegaze and/or dreampop, with some outbursts here and there in true Yo La Tengo style. A nice little record, it will surely please fans of the genre. more
In the Olympus among a few chosen ones, we cannot forget episodes like who's next, Tommy, those sublime live performances (Leeds, Woodstock, the live at the Isle of Wight, the live at Monterey, the live at Charlton, etc.), we cannot forget songs like "My Wife," "Baba O'Riley," "Substitute," "The Song is Over," "Love, Reign O'er Me," Daltrey struggling between that microphone and his long hair in the finale of Tommy, Entwistle remaining impassive and occasionally throwing smiles at Moon, Moon crafting comedic shows with Townshend between songs, Townshend going wild and breaking everything until he bleeds, drools, tears his clothes but continues undeterred in his solitary rides. more
"Black Celebration," "Violator," and "Music For The Masses," as well as "Construction Time Again," are truly extraordinary works, and we shouldn't underestimate the "rock" twist of the early '90s with "stripped," "a question of time," "a question of lust," "behind the wheel," "master and servant," and we could go on infinitely, all top-class hits. more
Insulting this album is like giving it a compliment. more
We are in 2000 in the former Yugoslavia, and three journalists (Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, and Jesse Eisenberg) are on the trail of a Bosnian criminal known as 'the fox' (inspired by the real criminal Radovan Karadzic, arrested in 2008). The beginning of the film is promising; Richard Gere's acting seems to be both dramatic and irreverent at the same time. Everything suggests that what could emerge is a really great film, but this slips away as the minutes go by, leading to an ending that aims to astonish with its revelations and perhaps tries to tackle what can be considered 'conspiracy theories,' but instead feels weak and ultimately ends up being merely rhetorical. What a pity. more
Worthy of being remembered. more
