You say? I say instead that every passing day seems to bring us closer to those things we've only read about in history books: the cult of personality, the climate of fear, the fear, the praise of ignorance, the control of minds. I'm calm, in fact I couldn't care less because I've stopped believing in everything. The only thing that bothers me is that some brainless idiots (because to give in to Berlusconi's flattery, you have to be either brainless or acting in bad faith) are guiding our lives. I’m fed up, that’s all, but I'm very serene. I'm awake enough to understand that you govern over the things you possess, and I’m not possessed by anything… it's a countdown that will end soon. I'm just sorry that I can't escape to the GDR to stare at a wall and think that perhaps behind that wall there are fantastic creatures (a bit like in Silvia), but we all know what monsters we are. In short, it's humanity that sucks, and Berlusconi, Putin, Bush, and other human cases are what any rotten man deserves.

They've even taken Rome. A people without identity and without common sense. It doesn't take a political scientist to understand that the issue of the Romanians has been deliberately manufactured, and it certainly doesn't take a genius to look at the statistics and see that more hours have been dedicated to that nonsense than to the collapse of the Twin Towers. I'm sure that, being the grandiose narcissist he is, the psycho-dwarf on his deathbed will confess to having managed and controlled Italian political life for decades and decades in such insidious ways that we can’t even imagine. It feels like living in Citizen Kane, only sadder, since the Americans understand and turn their backs on Kane... but when do we turn our backs? Perhaps always, since the only thing we seem capable of doing is letting ourselves be sodomized. I fear, I fear for the local elections in Naples because when they win here too, it will really be over: that superficial division between politics and the Camorra will crumble, and then they will truly be free. I ask myself where the hell is the feeling of Italians? Where is the knowledge of our historical tradition (it's no mystery that Italy is anti-fascist... so why are we seeking a past to make a future)? Where's the common sense, damn it? Where is the legacy of the largest communist party in the West? We are hopeless. Naples has always been hopeless, but now all of Italy is. Man has no other tyrant than himself, said Céline... I believe him and hope you all take yourselves out. Bring back the DDR!!! STAY MISANTHROPIC!!!

live theater is scary. UNIQUE... you'll notice it :)
anyway, I think I'll get the original... maybe not now. slowly ;) I liked the Fiub album, it’s just that I didn’t understand this whole 10-inch thing. it seems like nonsense to me... they already sell so few records, and then you make it only in 10 inches... who knows, they're happy. transition? and to where? :)

In my opinion, the problem lies with the typical metal drummer who is too busy making angry faces and waving their hair in time with the snare drum to hit like a beast or like a real drummer... then they do everything to avoid covering the double bass pedal. If the double bass pedal can't be heard, it turns into a mazurka... RESPECT FOR MAZZURCA AND TRUE METALLERS!

Listening to it again... I think I'm going to buy it. A 4 is totally deserved.

I would also like to say that many of the emerging groups that play metal are absolute rubbish and seem to have come out of some godforsaken youth center. They wander around with their Ibanez guitars and ridiculously high metal distortion... and the funniest part is that they play at laughably low volumes. It's beautiful to play with metal bands and lend them my amp. They set it to 5, I set it to 9... and the expression on their faces after I've completely owned them is priceless. That said, for me, everything is fair game. Tastes are subjective, but from the outside, it just seems like a giant pointless ritual where everyone succeeds because everyone buys everything. Metalheads are spot on, and I had to pretend to be one to make a little money (not that there are many girls for the true ones).

Just a note. Metal is the genre that sells the most, almost as much as pop. Any little metal band finds a contract and goes on tour... now I'm not arguing about tastes (everything is allowed), but saying that metal is niche seems like bullshit to me.

Hi Port, many consider this one of Burton's ugliest and least successful works. I, on the other hand, find it cool... I really like Burton. I recommend, if you haven't seen it, one of his shorts called Vincent, always very dark, that paraphrases Poe and is inspired by Vincent Price. Bye.

"Those who commit suicide are weak"... here comes the psychologist with his bullshit feelings. You should be less superficial and a bit more empathetic.

And what about these morals on suicide? Holy God, are you really that messed up? Very messed up, and I'm not saying this about Cobain, but about those who take their own life. Everyone has a good reason to kill themselves, Pavese used to say, and if people thought a little (at least thirty seconds at a time), they would avoid saying such gross nonsense. I hope you never have to know anyone who takes their life; you would be disappointed to understand how useless someone can feel. That said: go fuck yourselves, you idiots!
