neither happy nor unhappy: I don’t give a damn and of course it's my problem, you just take care of your own, you piece of fool.

eheh Crumb, who hadn't been gentle with the bluesmen in the book Blues... Anyway, what had me in stitches about it was Joe Sacco with those panels on the "evolution" of musicians' lovers over time. Starting with the wife of the best friend in the case of the bluesmen, to the smelly goat for the punks, and up to the decomposing corpse of the best friend's girl in the case of the goths...

I meant guitar and not lysergic chitarratta at 14.

@muito: the heroine that invaded the streets led to the nihilism of anthems like "No Fun" by the Stooges or of many losers who surrendered to the marginalizing society without fighting (no point in naming the usual suspects like Thunders, Darby Crash, etc., etc.). And certainly not to the music associated with swastikas (I believe you know that Death in June refers to the Night of the Long Knives) or to that which celebrates the putrefaction of corpses as an aphrodisiac aroma.

@psycho: Think Pink? Not exactly, maybe just for the less song-structured parts of Twink's album, which often incorporates big, lysergic guitar riffs from the "Deviated" Paul Rudolph that are missing here. This is more acoustic and more free (more free than Twink? Yes). Take it as a diversion you can rate from 1 to 5 depending on your daily level of freakiness that might lead you to hum like bartleboom :eic or pipi uai, eic or pipi uaiii...

I think many have forgotten that this is an epoch-making film, 20 crazy fragments that demolish Italy's economic boom with impressive cynicism. Just think of the episode "Vernissage" where the family man Tognazzi goes to pick up the 600 he bought on credit, calls his wife telling her to wait for him by the window with the kids to see when he arrives with the new car, and then, as soon as he leaves the dealership, he stops at the corner of the street to hit on a hooker... Straculto. On YouTube there are all twenty episodes.

I find myself, quite by chance, with a still sealed compilation CD of Murolo, La voce di napoli, which was given as a gift to customers when the MediaWorld store opened up around here. If you need it, I'll drop it in a bin when I pass through Rome.

A lot, the recordings from '58 were released in "Music of the Bahamas vol 1" but are available in the cd "The Complete Folkways Recordings". It’s the best spence, after discovering it they completely changed it by pairing it with gospel singers.

In addition to Lomax, I would like to point out another great scholar/explorer of music, Samuel Charters, who, in the 1950s, traveled armed with a tape recorder. He is credited with the rediscovery of bluesmen like Furry Lewis and even the discovery of a great talent like Joseph Spence in the Bahamas, where Charters went in search of a clue from Lomax suggesting the existence of indigenous music strains on the island of Andros. Treat yourselves: listen to Spence; it's like hearing two guitars, with a truly original style.

And I know you’ll find it hard to believe, but Grand Funk for their "Good Singin', Good Playing" were produced by none other than Frank Zappa, who even played guitar on it! I remember a photo of the mustachioed man with Farner and Schacher at the mixing desk, wearing a huge top hat at least a meter tall in the colors of the US flag...
