"In '94, nobody paid attention to Lula (... ...) he was a great Lula... a bit watered down today the 'president' Lula"... Um, okay, I just threw that out there!

Seen twice (three times if we include the presentation of "Drawing Restraint #9" at the Venice Film Festival), and I've always had colossal sole experiences with her, on and off stage... during the Homogenic tour I was a "teen" and vigorous, craving saturated volumes and BPM, while she opted for a minimal and "chamber" version of the repertoire, leaving me flabbergasted... last year I was ready and trained for greater intimacy, and I found myself with booming bass covering all the softer and more sophisticated dynamics, alongside a deafening din of pyrotechnics, not to mention kitschy costume changes worthy of a Parisian runway (one different for each song, practically)... in both cases, a little over an hour of show (and tickets not exactly cheap, 50 or 60 euros at Villa Manin, I don't remember exactly, but at least I avoided spending that thanks to the vilified "nepotism" of the Belpaese). In Venice, though, the freckled Gremlin did even worse, catching me from behind during her promenade to her place of honor and spilling, with the endless train of her "usually dreadful" pink bomboniere dress, the can of green tea (Twinings) that I had stealthily brought into the hall (damn, couldn’t they have let Barney through that section of the audience?! At least then I could have snickered at him... 15 euros spent... and an hour and a half spent snoozing dehydrated... I hope sonorously... the only positive was the air conditioning cranked up high, which was very Icelandic summer, and perfectly conducive to the justified sleep of the "deretanized").

Oops!... My apologies, slip of the tongue with André Gide...

The most froscio of the authors of the '900, how could he be "fascio" or "nazi"?! Anyway, I prefer Bataille...

Always torn between this and "The Maggot" for the title of my favorite Buzzo+ album (but very-) Crover and whoever else wants to play the (ne)spola on bass... (even though "Pigs of the Roman Empire" intrigues me quite a bit... but Lustmord is definitely involved), (4.5).

Impeccable, as always... even though our tastes don't quite match... lucky that I know them (and this album in particular)... because with Hypnos 69 I was persuaded to take a chance... and they're not exactly my cup of tea (so I skipped over Siena Root with a certain confidence) (3.5 for the album). When will we see a new, "light," little "Medal," Bartle?!

Hey, Dull, "Supreme Balloon" is just "Supremely" (more) useless than any "N.E.R.D.ness"!!!

Note: You posterity can, willingly, postpone yourselves!

Noooo, come on, I was in Bologna to celebrate my friend's third degree (330 bonus points accumulated + 3 honors and 2 publication accolades)... and I missed it, the Ferrarese!!!.... (In Piazza S.to Stefano, I had to endure the only, miserable, and demotic Italian rendition of Patton trying to reinterpret the Italian song form of the '60s... and I have nothing to share with future generations... about a potential new Vasculo... how unfortunate!!!).

Hail Alè... the 5 on the record is a bit excessive but the crappy average demands it (4 nice and fat)!!!
