I completely share your opinion on the Italic dinosaurs (Marlene and Afterhours) who have really had their time, but enough now. I found their latest work to be, personally, a bit banal. I've listened to a few tracks by Redworms Farm and I like them... probably if I pay a bit more attention, which I had already promised myself to do, I would like them a lot more. In any case, Italy has recently churned out some really great records. I recommend listening to, if you haven't done so yet, Super Elastic Bubble Plastic and Il Teatro degli Orrori. For now, I only vote for the review.

It's especially strange that in 2007 the Malthusian theories are still circulating... that crazy bastard who said that the poor can't partake in the banquet of life.

Great, but I still don't understand if you're just playing or if you're serious.

òbjork: anyway, I don't feed on pre-packaged aphorisms. China doesn't appeal to me... especially since they are more capitalist than America and call themselves socialists... that makes me angry. I don't really care for the former Soviet Union either... but are we really sure that Putin, a former KGB agent, is significantly better than his predecessors? Constitutional law books aren't very convinced of that. I couldn't care less... however, the GDR is something that fascinates me. I can't explain it. In any case, I would prefer to live in the GDR without being able to leave rather than live in Italy in 2007 with all our fake freedoms. I mean we are like dogs and every now and then they toss us a bone to keep us quiet. Anyway, I didn't mean to call you a naive person and I hope I didn't offend you because that wasn't my intention.

Bjork... what can I say to you? You've shattered me! You've become my favorite philosopher after Marx and Rousseau. :)

Have you seen the year punk broke?

@c’è: honestly, I wasn’t familiar with the Supremes song you pointed out as inspirational for Iggy. I downloaded it and listened. Honestly, it reminds me of Lust for Life (I mean, it’s Lust for Life that reminds me of You Can’t Hurry Love) but nothing groundbreaking... I honestly thought it would be a more pronounced thing... instead, it must have been induced in you... just like you did with me. Thank you. Anyway, I believe that in the Jet song there’s a much stronger and more deliberate attempt at plagiarism or just stealing... anyway, I don’t remember who... but someone said and then repeated Checco De Gregori: the artist is a dwarf on the shoulders of a giant. But the Jets are not artists... they are just dwarfs :)

Nick, I share your intervention... despite this, I prefer a present, strong, invasive, public state, rather than the modern and opaque representative democracies (the GDR was one too, but greater participation was possible) where you are a slave all year round, vote, and then go back to being a slave. Let's say I'm pro-Rousseau. My opinion is my opinion and it doesn't really matter. I'm not talking about objective data. Regarding unemployment... well, the current state of affairs leaves me speechless. With mobility, fixed-term contracts, and all the other nonsense that make us servants of any master, Italy is no longer a democracy since it violates its own constitution (art. 1: work is a right that the republic protects). Sorry for the verbosity, but I, at least, believe so.

Well, psychopomp... the problem is that it really pisses me off when some guy comes along and shoots out dumb clichés... like punk was a huge step back for music, Iggy Pop is pointless, the Stooges are a copy of the Rolling Stones... I mean, all this crap goes straight to the gut. These critiques can be accepted from someone who knows what they're talking about, but not from someone who listens to Oasis, Jet, and similar crap.

ah in this sense!!! yes, yes, that's right. regarding Sonic Youth and Nirvana (and also Dinosaur Jr), there's a tasty film. it's a film about the tour of the three bands. 1991: the year punk broke. you have to see it.
