azzo

Ah, I forgot Bartle, to truly thank Ole and me, you could treat us to a week in Sardinia at the dunajet festival, where our band will play with Karma to Burn, Dozer, and other characters. Cost per person: 600.00 euros. I'm waiting for the bank transfer.

@Look, if you click on Azzo and Ole, our funny faces pop up, except, as I've already said, they are reversed. Note that the author of the review has cleverly avoided showing his. @Ole, yes, but you know that the vinyl doesn't have Mountain? Damn it. I should have read a post by Psycho who also bought the vinyl and had the same unpleasant surprise. @Trota, attach a photo of your funny face and then I'll let you know.

Not bad, even though you mentioned both Azzo and the bullshit too many times. I’d like to point out that you switched my face with Ole’s. A 5 for affection. Obviously, I’m grateful to you and Ole for the same reasons. P.S.: let the DeBaserian people know where that lazy Ole should post the review.

Oh my God, what a long list of banalities and inaccuracies. This is not an acoustic album, for heaven’s sake, it's an album mostly made up of ballads with little distortion (the only acoustic piece is Afterhours). At least someone reviewing a Velvet Underground album should know the difference between acoustic and electric. Why is Youle considered unfortunate? Because he replaced Cale on bass? It’s not his fault. And honestly, the difference between the two on bass doesn’t seem relevant to me. And thank goodness "Loaded," which contains two of the greatest songs in the history of rock—two songs that many acclaimed bands haven't managed to write in their entire careers—is disappointing. And finally, this album is not wine, it’s absinthe, and it’s a whole different thing.

@Fedee, look, no one is tearing each other apart here. With Cap we even go out to dinner, with Ale we post and he sends me his tracks, Alia76 is angry, but it passes, I'm sure Boredom is not angry. We just exchange opinions, maybe with a bit of vehemence, but it all ends there. Otherwise, posting, if there isn’t a bit of contention, becomes pointless...

@Alias76: what do you want to irritate me for, but you still don't understand. I'll cut it for you, maybe you'll understand it better. The judgment on the monotony while distracted listening seems to me to hold little value. By the same measure, even Dylan and Drake would appear monotonous. I've just noticed that many judge having listened to the album one and a half to three times. Nice scale. @Boredom: saying that a statement is ridiculous doesn't mean you're ridiculous. I've always respected you, and certainly my judgment doesn't change if you make a statement that I don't agree with. @Ale: same as above. What do you want me to think about people, just because they don't like Le Luci... To each their own, indeed.

Alia76, look, if you get angry, you don't understand a damn thing. It's not that I was comparing this to Dylan or Drake, please, I was talking about songwriters using a paradox. Watch out for the passersby throwing brains off the overpass...

Ah, yes, other funny things. Yesterday evening I was at a fortunate dinner (six women and me). The hostess, my metalhead friend who grew up on Slayer, also enchanted by Brondi, at a certain point put it on. Comments from the attendees who didn’t know him: all the songs sound the same, he sounds like Gaetano, but Gaetano is better, more varied. Of course, I kept quiet. But it seems to me that the claim that it's all the same comes from distracted listening, from someone who does not listen. Or has never listened. If we had put on a Dylan from the first six albums, the comment would have been identical. And just to be excessive, certainly even Drake's Pink Moon. I mean, here there seems to be no desire to reason, or people aren’t used to listening, I suppose, to a singer-songwriter playing an acoustic guitar. Returning to your other point about the decline in popularity, I find the many posts claiming that the demo was better to be very effective. Well, I hope no one takes offense, but that’s a ridiculous statement. I mean, if we have to be cool at all costs, the alternates, those who discovered him before he became famous, that’s perfectly fine. But otherwise, it’s ridiculous. Not only does the sound have a different body, thanks to Canali, but the lyrics are better, those that were changed and those that were eliminated. You can feel a whole new maturity. Besides, on YouTube you can find an interview where, when asked about this point, he dismisses it with a laugh: anyone, unless they want to play the alt, understands that the album has a whole different structure. If we have to be alternates with DeB, I’m sorry, but I lose the desire to discuss, because it makes no sense. Almost, I might go to Onda Rock :-)

Oh, what a mess in the midst of L7 and Babes in Toyland, but cute nonetheless, and then, really funny, I had the Zen Arcade tape in the car and she shows up wearing the T-shirt... the twists of life. I was already in a twisted position, but the guitarist from the opening band got to me first, and then we had to head home because my ex-bassist was working today. So, another missed opportunity. And what did you think of Zu?

Uh, but Bartle is also goofing around! Hey handsome. Todo bien? I went to see the Agatha in Mantova yesterday. How was it in Milan? Yesterday they made a big mess, but the bassist was wearing a Zen Arcade t-shirt and I fell in love. She even remembered me when we played together years ago...
