I agree on avant-garde cinema. It's absolutely useless, I would add. However, all things considered, I didn't dislike it, even without any particular highlights.

I really liked the review, who cares if there are 4 more on the homepage! Anyway, the idea of hearing this stuff unsettles me, but I'm glad there's at least someone talking about it. For example, the Residents really made me sick; maybe it's because I probably didn't understand anything or maybe the beauty lies in the fact that they should make me sick. Who knows.

King Crimson Red

this album is so rock that calling it prog would be an injustice. this is the album that conceptually shatters the prog toy into tiny pieces. in my opinion, Fripp understood it this way and grasped everything before anyone else; not by chance, Red is synthetic and fiery, while others (like Yes’s *Tales from Topographic Oceans* or the utterly useless and harmful ELP) were busy twirling in their pointless and unnecessarily bourgeois existence. and it’s no coincidence that the cover features their shadowy faces instead of the usual medieval-fairytale imagery.

I listened to it again recently, and for me, it's really nothing special. It has aged terribly, Dark Side is a little bit better.

Funcom Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

@onironauta: instead, I think I wouldn’t replay Heavy Rain anytime soon, precisely because I am too satisfied with my ending and how things turned out for me despite certain "inconsistencies." In my opinion, HR is revolutionary because it breaks away from the unyielding dogmas of video games; the absence of right/wrong choices (with potentially the main characters dying without the story stopping) eliminates the gaming mechanism of increasingly difficult skill tests followed by various rewards. Anyone can reach the end, so what matters is the gaming experience itself. In this sense, it is also far from point-and-click games, given that in those (I’m thinking of Myst), you can get stuck for days.

Today debt really has an ugly face, like that of a friend who hasn't slept in months... between rap-sodies, centenary popstars, and proposals from the Milan ghetto, it's almost embarrassing to decide where to place your 1.

I remember I was torn between this and Knights of the Old Republic for Xbox, then I ended up getting the second one. Still, this one seems quite interesting. @onironauta: I would actually like to do a review on Heavy Rain, but I can tell you that the discussion about longevity in that case is very particular. I played it only once, and I will probably play it again in the near future, but even like this it doesn’t make you regret the money spent (which is a lot), and unlike the vast majority of video games, it leaves you with something even after the credits roll. If you’ve played Fahrenheit (though not on the level of HR), you probably know what I mean :)

Helmet Meantime

I've heard it a thousand times. I've always pictured them as rockers in work overalls, the riffs sounding like sheets of metal and precast concrete, and the voice, if you want, is very "working-class" (not at all in a political sense, though). I then went to check out Band Of Susans, the first band that Hamilton was in, and at times they are truly exceptional. However, I've never really liked Betty that much; I don’t understand if it's more catchy due to some sort of sonic exploration, or if it's just a simple softening to ride the wave of the alternative scene of those years.
