Ah Geenoo, PRROTTT

You raise a doubt that is practically the doubt of any secret association, and not just that... namely: how can an association, born to be a minority and with the need and arrogance of being a minority, attempt to expand to the masses without undermining its own content? Answer: I don't know... for me, Hardcore is a way of being in the world... a world that makes you angry, that makes you ashamed, that makes you want to subvert... Hardcore has always been a movement that made variety its strength. The Bad Brains were as Hardcore as the Minutemen or Big Black... let's not talk about Metal or Masonic associations and the Fellowship of the Ring... and this is the point. Hardcore was born to get its hands dirty with reality, to spread as a positive means of redemption... as a will to open up and get to know each other... at least that’s what Hardcore means to me and frankly, I believe that this is what it objectively means. The current situation, apart from being openly reactionary, stillborn, obsolete, and out of time, is also musically terrible. I participated in Hardcore evenings organized by the social center I used to frequent some time ago... well, there were stuck-up, arrogant, shitty bands that sounded like terrible copies of the early Black Flag or Bad Brains... and the worst part is that a musical attitude is also a behavioral attitude. The current scene is disgusting; since '83, Hardcore has changed musically, it has spread, it has become an attitude that cuts through music and culture both horizontally and vertically... it can be concluded that the reactionaries of Hardcore are the ass of Hardcore. Honestly, for Italian Hardcore, I only save the Indigesti because they are truly indigestible... all the others have the flaw of all Italian bands: you can feel that they are Italian (a flaw that becomes a merit only for the CCCP).

One of those people who has to die in pain and suffering three more times to restore the initial balance... damn counterfeit karma. Well done, London, you have terrible taste even in literature. Congratulations.

maybe Scaruffi annoyed Slint too.

Yes... released in '89, but recorded in '87... they took their time :)

I liked it... putting aside all the mental gymnastics that we leave for the head trips, it feels better. Just, you need to explain to me why "proto Slint" when the record is from '88 and by '88 the Slint were already well established... eh!?!

Oh, good job, great commentary, I especially liked when in the twelfth minute of the first half you cleverly pointed out how Albini scratched his balls with his left hand... good job, good job, but you got the commentary wrong. "Strange Things," where did it go? Did you forget it at home? It would be better if you started listening to more music and talked about it less.

True: beautiful. "Insight" is definitely my favorite by the Division.

me too

confusion: Bruno Dorella "plays" the "Drums" ...I don't like them. They seem to me the result of a collective hallucination.
