Paolo, please, let's talk about something else. What do we care about what Pasolini did after nine in the evening? We all have our mysteries, maybe he was even picking his nose. Let's talk about his work and not about who he was sleeping with.

I downloaded this record. Now I want to buy it. But has it been pressed? What label?

ahah... what a review. I'll look for them. I'll try.

it can only be a iron... I always write worse

You see, Paolo, I believe that consistency is not of this world, and the people who try to be consistent at all costs are just the most boring ones. You say it's inconsistent for someone to go to “puttani,” as you say, and then turn into a new Rousseau? I say no, otherwise this film wouldn’t make sense, just like the others in the trilogy of life. Because this film shows you butts, tits, dicks, nuns who are getting it on with a pseudo-mute, and crooks scattered throughout the film? Because this is life: that is, being a new Rousseau and trying to get laid, satisfying the spirit and the dick, and the two things are never in conflict; in fact, they are part of each other. Ascetics annoy me, especially if they are Western. You say he was a nostalgist, and I agree with you. If he weren’t a nostalgist, I wouldn’t like Pasolini so much, because a convinced Marxist like Pasolini, like me, can only be, nowadays, a staunch reactionary. That is, a nostalgist who would replace plastic with steel, advertising with slogans.

It was... Pasolini said: I am against development, not against progress.

But let me understand: did you watch The Decameron to get yourself off? Where do you see all this eroticism to compare it to Tinto Brass? Yes, you see some cock, some tits, but what does that have to do with anything? Then there's the usual crap that annoys me: Pasolini is a hypocrite! Why is he a hypocrite? Because he came from a wealthy family and loved the underclass? Is that enough to be a hypocrite? Have you never thought that for centuries and centuries, there hasn't been a single artist who comes from the proletariat? NO ONE, NO ONE. And why is that? Well, as Carmelo Bene used to say, art has always been a bourgeois thing. In historical-economic terms, there is development and progress. Development is detached from the social situation. Essentially, there can be industrial development while people are starving. Progress, on the other hand, combines technical-industrial-economic development with social progress. PASOLINI DIDN'T SAY: "I'M FOR PROGRESS; NOT FOR DEVELOPMENT" Clear?
Anyway, pleasure remains a pleasure for the eyes.

"I'm going to give a coat of paint to the production of those weak tracks, which has always been a bit dull..." subjectivity is fine, but now it's getting exaggerated. Damaged was recorded with $8000, which was a lot in 2008, let alone in 1981. If you crank up the volume, the production gets bigger and the world collapses. My War sounds even better (and I say better to meet you halfway because for me it would just be good). Slip It In, on the other hand, has magnificent production: dirty guitar, beautifully buzzing in your face, which as soon as it goes into a solo lifts the rest. Screw Jello Biafra, Henry is too advanced, he's too much of a beast, and the Rollins Band records are by no means useless. This record, for me, is useless. Much better are the TRUE BLACK FLAG.

Alright, I'll look for it hoping it’s not crap like underpop :)

"You sing again as I like it"... can I interpret this as a return to the K album? I hope so because the K album is rock; Underpop is slow :)
