and it's something I will never understand... everyone is proud and boasts about Italy, Rome, Milan, Naples, etc. I don't find anything beautiful about it; rather, I feel deeply ashamed when I compare Italian services, specifically those in Naples, with the German or English ones. Sure, we possess 80% of the world's artworks and monuments, which makes our cities beautiful, but it's just appearance. It's like looking at a stunning woman, sleeping with her, and waking up in the morning when she isn't wearing makeup, and she looks like E.T. The monuments don't help one live; having a beautiful view to look at when you don't have a subway or have to wait at least 20 minutes for a train to get home doesn't help life, or you can't leave the house after nine because either you'll get mugged or stabbed. As far as I'm concerned, Italy is a beautiful caprese (the cake) filled with crap. It looks beautiful, but when you taste it, it tastes awful.

Rome sucks for me (of course it's better than Naples) and it bores me to death. I lived in Milan (notice the word lived and not just seen) for six months and even though I didn't like it, I like it more than Rome. Issues? It's not that what you like has to please everyone... you know how it is? You're not God, remember, and even if you were, there are atheists.

I agree with blackdog: Veltroni poses like a Kennedy of the poor, spouting phrases of unattainable goodness and morality. I add: you complain about Milan and Rome? You're crazy. I lived in Milan for six months and compared to Naples it's Disneyland. Here is the worst. In any case, in the clash between Rome and Milan, despite the fact that the Romans are really nice people, I definitely prefer Milan.

this is the first. the super elastic are my favorite Italian band.

I'm pretty sure there's no one on this page who knows the subject better than me (at least no one has shown it). I'm sure about myself, but I really don't believe anyone knows more... anyway, I bet on myself.

I don’t think the Butthole Surfers matter. I mean, Mclusky are really fun and also a bunch of great idiots (in a good way), but I don’t think it’s because of the Butthole Surfers.

yes, it’s an EP (I don't really like it to be honest). The first album is "hear it is," the second is "oh my gawd," and the third is "telepatic surgery." @fest...what do you mean by a little bit of butthole surfers?

Telepathic surgery is beautiful... the most beautiful one is the first: hear it is. Anyway, now that I think about it, Trellheim recommended them to me too. Thanks, Threll.

So let's disappear. But which Flaming Lips are you talking about? When I say Flaming Lips, I mean the ones from the first three albums (punk-psychedelic)... those are one of my all-time favorite bands.
