KindOfBlue

You're right, Larrok... But I was just making a joke. I meant to say that I don't like his methods of discussing the history of music and artists (go check the historical section on punk, if he hasn't changed it!), but I admit that he provides good keys to understanding for those approaching new artists, especially in the avant-garde. I appreciated William Basinski partly thanks to him (and partly thanks to Ondarock...)

Can I point out that the release year of the album is off by at least... 13 years???

I don't even like Scaruffi, but I believe that Jon Hassell is the only artist he got right... At least for this album. And how can we not feature our dear Enrico on DeBaser???

A film watched and rewatched to the point of nausea. I've always laughed a lot with Benigni, but I don’t consider this comedy a masterpiece; frankly speaking, when it comes to the comic Benigni, I prefer TuttoBenigni 95/96. And then I love the person: one of the few Florentines who doesn't resort to using blasphemies to make people laugh (Ceccherini docet). Of course, Florentine vulgarity is also present in his works, but let's say it’s more soft, and the intelligence he uses to exploit it in "Il Mostro" is simply genius. One last thing: stop talking about university because you’re making me lose the desire to go there next year.

@Poletti: I agree with you on the massification of teaching, but my logic is different. School is, first of all, culture, and culture is primarily effort, and it doesn’t always lead to great results that are fashionable today, like money and fame; on the contrary, true culture often brings solitude and material poverty. If it were up to me, I would raise the mandatory schooling age to 13: it’s not possible to create a state made only of hypothetical minds, when, look at that, the real ones who win Nobel prizes are treated like trash and leave for abroad. In Italy, we still can't grant the same dignity to a philosopher as we do to a shoemaker. This is not a joke, because now there are some jobs that once seemed degrading, and instead were the true engine of the country’s economy. Go find a plumber who can come to your house immediately, or a painter, or decent shoemakers (a line from a colleague of my mother's regarding her father-in-law who did that job is impressed in my mind: "since Dad died, there hasn't been a decent shoe in the house"). Today everyone has to be engineers, all architects, all philosophers, and all scientists. This does not create an intelligent people; it dulls a person’s identity. So I say this: I agree with schools open to everyone, but first and foremost, we need to make parents and children aware of the decision that is being made for the future of the latter, not a future made of money and brain, but a future made of working dignity and both public and private virtue. However, of course, this is a conversation that can only be had with respect and tolerance for all, Poletti: attacking a lazy university student and generalizing it is dreadfully populist.

I have listened to a few Zappa albums (thirteen, which compared to his discography is nothing) and I knew nothing about this one. Thanks for the debaserian tip, listening brother. :)

Congratulations, excellent review.
