Great fsk :) Sebastian Steinberg, I would have loved to meet him, for me, he's an even bigger legend than Germano. Unfortunately, I wasn't in Milan...

Great album.

Ah ah ah, fantastic Bartolo!

Did you make one? Where? If it's the one from comment 57, well yes, it’s funny, but it's not exactly the same thing.

Well, it's easy to understand it. Contemplation: you make one like that, let’s see if it has the same effect.

(..) the web gives us the chance to enjoy so many things, without spending too much time searching and without spending a fortune. Okay, are you with me? But what is it that the web doesn't provide us? Or rather, what do we look for in a review when we already have everything? I can't even imagine if I were to type "heroes david bowie" into Google how many results... but Google will never give me the emotion of Perez regarding a specific thing, in this case, Heroes. If I wrote on Google: "Perez's emotions on heroes" (I've tried), it gives me nothing or it gives me stuff that doesn't matter at all. On Debaser, I want to read the soul of the reviewers, the emotions of others and understand if they are similar to mine; if I wanted info on David Bowie, Debaser would be just another website among many. But we want emotions; we want to understand if something makes a person tremble the way it makes me tremble, at least that's what I'm looking for, with fetishism, like a peeping Tom, the dirtiest of peeping Toms, a peeper of souls.

Learning the vocal part of Paul Simon in Sounds of Silence brings a certain satisfaction.

Hey, I recently saw the painting from which the cover is taken, in Hamburg, in January. Beautiful.

I missed this one. Since I’m at work and the opening of this concerto started playing through my headphones, and I just can’t sit still when this concerto begins, my colleagues gave me disapproving looks. So to calm myself down, I thought, "now I’ll look it up on DeB," and here I am. Stunning, even though Solomon (the foremost biographer of LvB) doesn’t praise it as I feel he should. For me, among the best piano concertos ever, I would add to J&R's list Mozart's 24, Tchaikovsky's 1 (perhaps my favorite), Rachmaninoff's 2, and Liszt's 2.

Ride that horse, th'yonder, Mark
