supersoul

Don't forget to resign as a cinephile, Poletti, as you'll gain more credibility than being an ex-Roma supporter.

@sonic80 you may not agree, but let’s put it this way: clearly, you’re not one of those who bought the Flaming Lips vinyls (starting with "Hear it is") as soon as they came out (by the way, my "In a priest driven ambulance" is a beautiful cotton candy pink...) but maybe you discovered them with this one and then went back. Because I assure you that all the people I know (and they are not few) who have followed the Flaming Lips since 1985 received a record like this reviewed for free and have definitively crossed Mr. Coyne off their list.

@bjorky I didn't mean to say that the film tells a dream, but I got attached to a "dreamlike interpretation," supported by the fact that Chirurgh seemed to me like a "monster" that can unleash from the consciousness of each of us when we know we've messed up and our subconscious awaits punishment. The film is cold because the novel is even colder than the film, the déjà-vu can be attributed to the numerous films that have dealt with the subject, starting with the suitcase with the money from the robbery at the racetrack that opens up sending bills flying away in Kubrick’s film, through the one with the radioactive material that sets off the bomb in "A Kiss and a Gun" by Aldrich, and also the other "dirty" haul in "Who Will Kill Charley Varrick" (wonderful) by Don Siegel, or the same "Dirty Money" by Sam Raimi. Nothing new, but the brothers were really great.

My humble opinion on the turning point of the Flaming Lips has already been expressed. I certainly don't find it difficult to understand that this album could represent the soundtrack of someone's life; put on "Race for the Prize" in your earbuds, and even a stroll down the main street of Acerra might feel just as good as one in the Parisian Champs-Élysées. But I can't forget that this pop little gem has been remixed with the approval of Wayne Coyne even by Peter Mokran, who usually does these operations for the hits of Christina Aguilera, R. Kelly, NSYNC, Janet Jackson. I wonder what the hell these people have to do with the Flaming Lips, who, with great tracks like "Chrome Plated Suicide," were already trying to nail a pop hook but buried it under tons of distortion and some spaced-out vocals. In this album, though, Wayne Coyne sings and plays cleanly, as if he were in the Moody Blues (remember "Nights in White Satin"?). Only today his outfits are made of pink silk, and I couldn't care less about his tailor's address.

hard to dethrone it from human case no. 1

It's always the same Telecaster from which, as Patti Smith said, the sound of a thousand birds comes. The garbage has always been here, but they used to bury it everywhere like corpses in the concrete pillars; today it's out in the open, and it's been the blow that led Berlusconi to win even in the strongholds of the Naples suburbs that have always belonged to the left. They will also win the regional elections, but I don't believe that life around here can get any worse; we're already at the alert level (and the government was leftist), below this there's only the suicide of Poletti...

Come on, poletti is gone, he’s a madman like Michael Douglas in "Falling Down." Tom Verlaine was everything but Television (or "Dreamtime"), with that guitar he holds his own and can fill a theater. At one point, it felt like I was hearing Calexico or even Friends of Dean Martinez, muffled sounds and piercing notes. Then he gave me a jab saying, "I almost came here 29 years ago." I would have been there to hear him anyway, him more deranged, me more enthusiastic.

@poletti now you’re not seriously thinking about doing something reckless, are you? Please don’t jump into the idroscalo because the water is shallow, try taking the tram of line 2 at piazza della Scala…

for me it is an absolute masterpiece of the genre.

@psycho I realized that I owed you a response, the Tractors' album is phenomenal and as far as I remember it was also a huge success back then, the track I prefer is clearly the most psychedelic, "2Little girl in yellow." but even the album "The way we life" is on par with it (if not more).
