Emilio Salgari
A great storyteller more
Big Audio Dynamite -No. 10, Upping St.
Strummer, after COMBAT ROCK, distances himself from the Clash, first Topper Headon and then Mick Jones. The latter forms Big Audio Dynamite. Their sound incorporated funk, dance, rap, reggae, and punk samples. In their 1986 album, Strummer co-writes some tracks with Jones. more
Squallor
38 July and Cornutone. The biggest band of Italian absurd music. more
Gem Boy
Among the giants of Italian absurd music... not like the Squallor, for heaven's sake, but hilarious to the point of dying! My favorite? "Canzone del cazzo." more
Mötley Crüe
True that the lyrics were trivial... but they wrote massive albums like Dr. Feelgood, Girls, Girls, Girls, the self-titled album, Too Fast For Love, and Shout at the Devil... For me, it's 5 for life!!! more
Cathedral -The Last Spire
Year 2013, April is the month; the tenth and final album by Cathedral is released, marking the end of the band after a career that began in the late eighties. "Entrance To Hell" leads us into hell for the last time, then giving way to the unending, heavy, weighty "Pallbearer." Ultra Heavy Hard-Doom that aims to be a return to the feral and deadly sound of the early days, with the voice of the Maestro Lee Dorrian once again covering us in mud...THY TOMB... more
Cop Shoot Cop
Sound Terrorists: I can't find better words to describe the group that in the nineties produced a handful of "disturbed" records in terms of sound. Their sound contained an irritating, claustrophobic, tight Industrial-Noise, characterized by a double bass that left no survivors in the listening experience...WHITE NOISE... (exactly!!!!)... more
Tom Waits -Rain Dogs
Big Black Mariah, Clap Hands,...Masterpiece more
Tom Waits -Swordfishtrombones
For me, with Rain Dogs, the pinnacle of Tommaso.. more
Pussy Galore -Right Now!
Sorry Neil, but every now and then I need to listen to this record.. No offense, okay! more
Ariel Pink
Manky cat, manky cat, who chased you away?

Manky cat, pretty big cat, it’s not your fault…

Manky cat, pretty big cat, you smell like a goat.

Pretty big cat, pretty big cat, it’s not your fault…

I’d give you a nice bath

if you didn’t run away like a spider.

Manky cat, too manky, what do you have on your face?

Manky cat, too manky, you’re not furry anymore.

Manky cat, pretty big cat, it’s not your fault… more
Joe Jackson -Night & Day
Joe arrives in America. more
Damien Rice -My Favourite Faded Fantasy
I just finished my first listen a few seconds ago, and I'm overwhelmed by such beauty; struck, pierced, by an album that has the gift of giving me those shivers I have always hoped to find again on my journey. The voice is the central element of a work that rightly stands out as one of the gems of a year that has been scarce for me in terms of emotions, and not just regarding Music; I close my eyes and his aged face reappears: he smiles at me, finally... more
Lou Reed -Transformer
Not the most sincere Reed musically but certainly his rebirth, Perfect Day really is the perfect song. more
The Stone Roses
They had the tremendous merit of bringing MaDchester back to the forefront of the music scene at the end of the eighties, remembering the lesson from a few years earlier from their fellow townsmen The Smiths. The first self-titled album is enough to consecrate them for eternity... I AM THE RESURRECTION... more
Renato Zero
Funny guy.....great performer.....a bit too much of a self-celebrating guru........anyway...a Positive character... more
Chrome -Half Machine Lip Moves
A nighttime car ride from many years ago with four friends perfectly revved up. The track of this record blasting on a powerful sound system. At one point, one of the two sitting in the back starts bleeding from an ear... fortunately, it wasn't me. more
