Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451
2 oct 17
- In novel form, it was first published in 1953 in the emerging magazine Playboy, in the second, third, and fourth issues.
- Set in an unspecified future after 1960, it describes a dystopian society where reading or owning books is considered a crime, for which a special firemen's corps has been established, dedicated to burning every type of volume.
- In 1966, the book was adapted into a film of the same name directed by François Truffaut.
- «Listen to me, Montag: in all our careers, we all get a curiosity about what's in those books; it strikes us like a kind of itch, right? Well, trust me, Montag, there's nothing in there, books have nothing to say!»

... the ending of the novel has an optimistic side: if the Earthlings learn to respect their new planet, as seen in the final scene, they could become the Martians themselves.
Of course, this interpretation can be flipped: the final scene could also be viewed as the last mockery of the destroyed civilization of the Martians, whereby the conquerors will define themselves as "Martians," just as the descendants of the exterminators of the Indians define themselves as "Americans."
The value of this book, one of the masterpieces of science fiction of all time, lies precisely in the ambiguity of some key scenes that lead the reader to question fundamental facts of the history of the United States, but more generally the relationships between European civilization and others on the planet...

- Dandelion Wine (in the original title) is a novel set during the summer of 1928 in the fictional town of Green Town, Illinois, based on the city of Waukegan, Illinois, where Bradbury grew up.
- The original title refers to a wine made from dandelion petals and other ingredients, commonly citrus. In the story, this wine, prepared by the protagonist's grandfather, is a metaphor that gathers all the joys of summer into a single bottle. The protagonist of the story is Douglas Spaulding, a 12-year-old boy who is vaguely autobiographical. (source: wiki)

What do we talk about when we talk about love?
We talk about a glass of gin that spills in a room where two tired couples are arguing.
We talk about old friends who, perhaps out of boredom, perhaps for another reason, unknowingly commit a terrible crime.
We talk about bakers whose birthday cakes have not been picked up.
We talk about gestures that seem insignificant, yet have the power to restore to every life all the grace hidden behind the banality of malice and fear.
Seventeen stories by Raymond Carver, the clearest expression of a writing that, with miraculous simplicity, always gets to the heart of things. (quote Einaudi)

The subjects of the twenty-two stories in this first collection by Raymond Carver are already the same as always: men and women on the brink, or already beyond, perdition; unemployed individuals, alcoholics, people incapable of creating and maintaining true and solid emotional relationships.
But, mixed in with the disenchantment that Carver knows how to depict inalienations and lacks, there emerges here and there a more emotional, passionate streak, in some cases an erotic or comical detail. In a word, an affectionately "human" quality.

America today gathers the nine stories and the poetry of Raymond Carver transformed by Robert Altman in the film that won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1993.
A choral fresco made of solitudes that survive on the margins of the American dream.
Fragments of lives that burn and fade but somehow resist, still capable of infinite love.
A distillation of Carver’s writing in all its purity, able to reveal how extraordinary lies behind every existence. (quoted Einaudi)

    "The stories of Carver prevent us from making the grave mistake of withdrawing, of not loving anyone...
    Although the world is made up equally of death and love, of happiness and suffering, of satisfaction and disappointment.
    As long as there are others, nothing human is irreversible."

Four stories ("Chinese Jade," "The Woman of the Lake," "There Is No Peace in the Mountains," and, indeed, "Bay City Blues") from the eight (the others are collected in "The Man Who Liked Dogs"), written between 1935 and 1941, of which Raymond Chandler was extremely jealous: he refused to publish them during his lifetime, and they were released posthumously in 1964. For the writer, they constituted a secret source to draw ideas for writing one of his novels. He extracted now a character, now an episode, now a description. There is even a precursor of the famous private investigator Philip Marlowe: a detective named Johnny Dalmas, but he is already the "man born for adventure," driven by the desire to complete a work that is "passionately moral."

    Guitarist John Frusciante had left the band during the 1992 tour for the acclaimed "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" due to his inability to cope with the album's popularity.

    In the years following his departure from RHCP, Frusciante developed a severe addiction to both heroin and cocaine, which led him to poverty and near death.

    His friends convinced him to enter rehab in 1998, and in April of that year, following the completion of three months of rehabilitation, Flea visited his old bandmate and openly invited him to rejoin the group; Frusciante immediately agreed.

    During that same week, and for the first time in six years, the quartet gathered and began playing together once again with the historic lineup reunited. (quotes from wiki)

The musical styles of BSSM differ significantly from the techniques used in the RHCP's previous album "Mother's Milk," which features a reduced use of heavy metal riffs with the guitar.

The album contains sexual innuendos, references to drugs and death, and themes such as lust and exuberance. (uh, go figure…)

Steve Huey from AllMusic noted that BSSM is "probably the best album the RHCP have ever made." (quote from wiki & my own parentheses…)

Robert Wyatt: Dondestan
7 sep 17
Dondestan is an album with soft, melancholic, and at times dark tones. The arrangements are minimalist, featuring few instruments, all played by Wyatt (organ, synthesizer, percussion, drums), with melodies primarily built on hexatonic scales.

The hexatonic scale is also known as Debussy's scale due to the fact that Claude Debussy made extensive use of it in his compositions, thus creating his impressionistic character, as seen in "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune," "L'isle joyeuse," or "Voiles, Prélude, Book I, No. 2."

Hexatonic harmony can also be found in the early compositions of Stravinsky and Bartók, and more rarely in Ravel. It is also present in the early works of Schoenberg and Berg in almost atonal contexts. (source: wiki)

Robert Wyatt: Shleep
7 sep 17
The title of the album is a distortion of the English word sleep, and it was chosen by the artist reflecting on his disturbed sleep during that period.

Shleep is a progressive rock album, released in 1997.

It marks the end of an artistic silence that lasted for several years, interrupted by sporadic appearances on other musicians' albums, and signifies the exit from the isolation in which Wyatt had enclosed himself after the recordings of the seventies, which had led him to create most of his works playing alone.

The musician and multi-instrumentalist is joined in his effort by an exceptional cast, 12 musicians who collaborate and alternate on the tracks of the album, carefully chosen by Wyatt based on specific criteria of character and intellectual rigor. (source: wiki)

In the autumn of 1972, Wyatt dissolved Matching Mole, the band he had been leading, and followed his partner Alfreda Benge to Venice, where she was working on a film.

In the Venetian capital, Alfreda convinced him to compose a new album and gifted him a small organ and a tape recorder, with which Wyatt recorded the first part of the music for Rock Bottom.

He would later declare that the particular atmosphere of Giudecca helped him draw inspiration at a time when he had no compositional ideas.

Robert Wyatt: Old Rottenhat
7 sep 17
In 1979, Wyatt joined the Communist Party of Great Britain, driven by anger over NATO's colonial activities and the ongoing apartheid in South Africa. When he resumed publishing after several years of semi-inactivity, he committed his art to political ideology, convinced that the revolutionary charge of rock was losing credibility.

All the tracks on Old Rottenhat are consistent with these choices and contain political references related to pressing realities, such as "East Timor," which addresses the massacres happening in that country under American cover...

With this work, he returned to composing after gaining recognition in the early 1980s with singles that were covers of protest songs by other artists. (cit. wiki)

These stories will undoubtedly surprise and perplex many readers: played on a monstrous keyboard of references, soaked in a pervasive melancholy, they range from South Africa that has not yet known the Boer War to Antioch of the early Christian martyrs, from the monastic Middle Ages to the trenches of the Great War – and each of them is a small novel. Here they care for sick houses: at others, they confess desires to be fulfilled; here a God must pay "a dear price" for his slave before dying under the astonished gaze of Saint Paul, and the antechamber of the realm of the dead is an abandoned carriage on a disused track at the end of the black continent.
