"Well, what kind of independence is it when you give interviews to major newspapers and go to Sanremo? Oh right, how silly of me, I forgot he went there to get recognized!" Maybe I got it wrong, but if I understood correctly, your argument could also apply to the Deasonika (who I don’t know if they ever dealt with majors), who went there in 2006 (and were, by the way, much less noticed compared to the After), even though I don’t know if they gave interviews at the time... "Thank goodness we have a superhero musician ready to enter the homes of Italians through their television and shake them from their dogmatic slumber. Please." I don’t believe Agnelli ever elevated himself to superhero status to awaken the country. He just does what he can, as I see it. "After all, those who watch Sanremo aren’t willing to consider music as anything more than simple entertainment." Most people do think that way, but there are exceptions that (rightly) save what can be saved (which is little). "This year they even managed to turn De Andrè into a disco phenomenon." Oh really? I think I might have missed something...

BBBBBBAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! OK, I've vented.

I prefer original versions... and I'm not very fond of unpublished works...

Among the noteworthy live albums by Litfiba, this is definitely the weakest. I prefer "Cangaceiro" in the studio version (complete with a video featuring western-style shootouts). However, "Il Vento" is beautiful.

Yes, but not only that...read what genre has been assigned to Dolcenera...POST ROCK! Oh my God...Dolcenera is better than Slint! Hell Yeah! XD

Ah well, if Saputello says it...

It's not my rabbit :D

Chris, why did you do it?

"I can't stand you anymore...really!" :D

<<if this is a masterpiece, what is Abbey Road...God...?>> I agree. Personally (even though I've NEVER loved Oasis), I find this a good album, like the next two, but not a masterpiece. Mostly because, in my opinion, Oasis has never made any 5-star records, "What's The Story (Morning Glory)?" included. At best, they produced excellent things (always in my view), though very (if not almost entirely) derivative, but...
