I knew that Don would respond like this because we’ve already been on the barricades together once defending Cobain from the assault of young idiots, like those who mention Giusy Ferreri in the review of Santa Patti;-) P.S.: Yes, Diva Records, incredibly enlightened Italians!

P.S.: I've been listening to the album for three days, and only after you mentioned it, I looked at the back cover and it says Louis Tillet - piano, organ. Can you believe it? It hadn't even crossed my mind; I didn’t remember he was playing…

Little problem: it seems that your disconnection is on the CD edition, because it's not on the vinyl! At this point, you're forcing me to upload to the mulo.

More than you are a splendid twenty-something, Ole! :-)

I'll respond for Don: no:-). I want to clarify, Super, that because of you, in the next few hours, the cops will be at my house. Ever since you wrote that review, I've put the record back on the turntable. How long has it been, three days? The volumes keep getting louder and louder. I think they can hear Coming apart two kilometers away. On Bed of Nails, I'm headbanging and doing stop and go. Holy shit, what an amazing record. Why do we forget the few beautiful things in life? Does your heart bleed too over that ballad? And do you know who I thought of? Louis Tillet!!! Are you thinking about it or am I the only one?

Of that which one cannot speak, one must remain silent. It was a mess that I hadn't brought it up, but damn, what a long string of bullshit I'm forced to read. This is one of the top ten albums in the history of rock, in my humble opinion. And do I have to read about one of his acoustic sets from a couple of years ago? Then let's talk about Papa Luciani...

Of course, I agree both with Super (whose culture, from Matteo to Gardini, worries me a bit, considering that I imagine him, for most of his life, on a bicycle while listening to marching rock'n'roll bands on his iPod) and with Terry.

Uh, I also greet my radical buddy Lewis, too harsh on the Gaz:-) Finally, I agree with Mike, who made the right point. What should we say about New Order? I loved them too, even though I adored the Joy above all else. I care little about how the Gaz ended up; the first one and this are great records, which in the Italy of that time seem alien. The fact that they are derivative of other rock becomes too long a discussion. All the great Italian bands have something they've taken from abroad, it seems inevitable. The important thing is to catch it before anyone else and reinterpret it in the right way. Lately, I've been re-listening to Confusional Quartet often, which maybe I'll review, loved by the Devo back in the day. But their album doesn't reach the levels of the early works of the Gaz, it seems clear to me. In short, of course, we're on different levels; whether Iggy advertises who knows what, I couldn't care less. Sorry if I reiterate my old age, but I'm quite bummed about the sad end of everything. The Stones, just to name another example, have seemed pathetic to me for over twenty years, yet they remain the best rock'n'roll band this planet has ever seen. Now let's get back to more serious matters @Te, now that you adore me, we can also go steady, trust the Cap, who says I look like I'm in my thirties!

P.S.: @Cap, yes. You're right, a bit boring. But it's been a year since we last saw each other, and my hair is getting grayer. When are you going to introduce me to a nurse who can also believe I look like I'm in my thirties?

@ Isi, hi. If you lived on 500 lire a month, where did you get it from? By dealing for Rossi? @ Yosif, welcome back. Even though you're quite the notable Babbo di minkia:-), I found your banning incomprehensible... do editors make mistakes too?:-)(this is a bit fierce, but Bartle gets it) @ Mike, sorry for not mentioning you in the quote, I got lost. Anyway, I'm making up for it now, the review of Sick Soundtrack mentioned is by Mike76, but I think the curious have already informed themselves.
