I remember them because Jeffrey Lee Pierce came to me in a dream telling me he was turning in his grave over their version of Sexbeat included in the previous 'From The Double Gone Chapel', which also had some respectable post-punk episodes. The good Wheatherall also had connections with Paul Oakenfold, which means dance floor in Ibiza at full force.........

If Byrne is among your absolute favorites, it seems serious that you don't know this album. At the time, I listened to it a lot; it's true that it's for sophisticated tastes, but it's also true that it can appeal to those who don't care about music at all. And this is a quality of the Talking Heads starting from Speaking in Tongues onwards.

I couldn’t care less about the reprint from two years ago, I have the vinyl and that’s all I need... (even the French edition of Fire of Love) and I’ve never felt a bigger emotion than listening to the Stooges play from a half-broken cassette recorder... personally, I disagree that Mother Juno is superior to Miami.

The best thing that writer Larry McMurtry has done is his son James, a great singer-songwriter since his debut in '89 with "Too long in the Wasteland."

we're off-topic but it seems to me that De André was in tune with many things taken from others, Umberto Saba with the old town, Villon for the ballad of the hanged, Leonard Cohen with Suzanne, etc., etc., etc.

You don't understand, I’m not referring to your comparisons, but our songwriters should do well to make known our own massacres and slaughters before acting like teachers regarding those of others...and they should talk about the machine gun of Salvatore Giuliano or the mass executions carried out by Garibaldi in Bronte in Calabria among the peasants before discussing the arrows of the Indians.

Really, the question is what does De André have to do with Native Americans?

Among other things, Francesco Rosi, whom I consider more important in the history of cinema than Ralph Nelson (the only other tolerable film being "Soldato sotto la pioggia"), made a great film without showing mutilated fetuses or decapitated heads... I highly recommend it to you along with that other masterpiece of cinema called "Mani sulla città." A tip from a friend.

What does Portella della Ginestra have to do with it? Guys, I think you are too busy listening to the great Fabrizio singing the tragically FAMOUS massacre of Sand Creek that you don’t even know about the massacres that happened right at home: "The slaughter lasted a couple of minutes. At the end, the machine gun fell silent, and a silence heavy with fear descended upon the small valley. It was May 1, 1947, and in Portella della Ginestra, the first massacre of Italy had just occurred: 11 dead, two children and nine adults. 27 were injured. All poor Sicilian farmers. The shots came from the heights, aimed at the crowd gathered to celebrate Labor Day, fired by the men of the bandit Salvatore Giuliano; Italians would find this out only four months later, in the autumn of 1947. But they would never know who armed the hand of those bandits, comfortable remnants of history, the embodiment of a phenomenon from the past that still survived in the Sicily of compromises and intrigues."
But who was Salvatore Giuliano? Why did he massacre 11 innocents? Who turned a band of marauders into a nationalist and separatist army? Who decided to politically use a bandit to quell the social tensions of post-war Sicily? And what secret pact did the state strike with the mafia that eliminated him from the scene?
