"The singer would be... the singer would definitely be Joni Mitchell," and if He says so.

I don’t know, I defend them, worse than Agaetis and () for sure, but still a record with great balls :)

Esteemed S.C., you use two adjectives that are particularly dear to me in the realm of Art to describe the film in question. As a consequence, I will take a look. And I add, although irreparably out of context, that spiazzante and intrigante also struck me as fitting for a film I indulged in (if I may say so) last night: "Delicatessen" by Jeunet. A thank you to whoever recommended it to me, should they ever pass by here. Cheers.

Sure! Please send me the text you would like me to translate.

I've never found much poetry in Polly Jean, and if I don't find much poetry, I don't fall in love, you know, with myself.

Devil of an Aeneas, I read Caz's comment out of context (on the recent comments page) and I liked it, so I wrote it down. I hadn’t even noticed yours. And now that I’ve noticed, I won’t read it because it’s too long, and I don’t like long things. There you go, there you go, there you go, rosanerodimmmmeeeeeeeerda! :)

I'm about the same age, I was born in June 2003. It's clear that it's your first time; you were getting used to it, you were always Caz but you were adjusting. I was too, I wrote some little assignments... well, compared to yours, I still write them like that :) End of nostalgia. Long live Gigi.

I fully endorse this comment, indeed I do (but did I miss this review?)

For the record, the Flaming Lips, at least equally valid, have followed a similar path, shifting (after the psychedelia of their early days - masterpiece "Telepathic Surgery") towards more accessible formats; to mark a difference in one word between the dream-pop of one and the other: fairy-tale-like the MR, comic-book-like the FL (?!?!?). I’d like to highlight in the second phase of the FL, first "Transmissions From The Satellite Heart" (1993, stylistically "in between" the two phases) and the latest "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots." Apologies for the roughness, but I tried to be concise :)

It's easy to say, dear Antonio. Our RivoluzioneDiMercurio produced a series of rather original, psychedelic, wobbly, distorted, noise-filled discs in the early '90s; "Yerself Is Steam" from '91 is probably the best, followed by "Boces" in '93 and "See You On The Other Side" in '95. But already in this one we see the arrival of Jonathan Donahue, former guitarist of the Flaming Lips, a twin band (in fact, as El Guevo rightly recalls, the progenitor: they started in '85) led by Wayne Coyne, with the same style, even stranger if possible. Donahue (who becomes the voice and guitarist) shifts the group's sound toward less obliquity, creating much dreamier and suspended atmospheres (his fairytale falsetto contributes greatly). The result is "Deserter's Songs" in '97, considered by many (myself included) to be the peak of their career. Then in 2001 with "All Is Dream" and in 2005 with "The Secret Migration," the sound definitively abandons the psychedelic quirks of their early days in favor of a much more pop-like fairy tale lyricism (which nonetheless doesn't lack originality). As far as I'm concerned, therefore (but I believe it's quite shared), two peaks: "Yerself Is Steam" in the psych phase, "Deserter's Songs" in the dreamy phase. It’s up to you to choose. Or rather, up to you to listen to everything :D
