Look, Dope, since you seem "in the know," what do you think of Fake Blood? That guy who has brought back (I mean, I’m not sure if he’s the one who started the revival) the taste for the dirty breakbeat that was so popular 20 years ago. I’m obsessively listening to his various EPs and the unfortunate idea of reviewing some of them is crossing my mind, this time using Word's grammar check.

Wow, earlier I mentioned "revision," damn it, it's true there are a lot of big mistakes, small errors, and omissions here and there... Well, I hope at least I've encouraged you to give these guys a chance, so at least someone else with fewer concentration issues can write the review.

Ah, a note to complete (or rather plug the gaps in) the work. The Bloody Beetroots have also refined a track from the latest album by Il Teatro degli Orrori: "Direzioni diverse." Just so you know...

And anyway, I didn't just invent the hardcore scene: I read a bit about it, of course, because back then I couldn't even speak, let alone get high at a Dutch rave. And I found that some things from Beltram (like the one linked) have at least superficially inspired the latest mainstream impulses of the electronic scene...

The part "d'altronde se uno fa musica dance" is something I wanted to delete, and I completely missed it during the revision... If any passing editor could delete that part, I would be quite grateful. Thank you... Anyway, Dopesmoker, I may be ignorant, but in the end, I rely on the meaning of words: the word "electro" means everything and nothing, what should it qualify? How does it differ from techno and house? These are, by the way, terms that today have accumulated an insane degree of arbitrariness. It might have made some sense to talk about house and techno in the '80s when discussing Chicago and Detroit. Now, however, everything is so intertwined that unless one engages in exquisitely manneristic operations, it’s hard to find something that can be clearly categorized. To be honest, for me, electronic music that is not ambient but meant to make you move your ass is simply "dance" music, and if we want to be picky, "electronic dance." Then there’s d’n’b, which is more easily recognizable, but still "electronic dance," just as Mogwai still make "rock," even though one might prefix it with "post," which honestly in the end these labels are things from Ondarock; I don’t want to waste too much time when I could simply seek an emotional and/or technical description of a sound. And anyway, well, I mentioned Gigi D'Agostino because honestly, I don’t know any other reference points from the Italian scene after him, and honestly, I don’t believe there are any. I would be glad if you proved me wrong, but when I think about it, nothing else comes to mind.

I have only heard her version of "Book Of Love" (Magnetic Fields) and I must say it's very beautiful...

I have it in vinyl too! :D

The first album by the Killers is their best in my opinion, forget about "best yet to come"... A thorough review of a record that's been reviewed too many times already...

Cute, my grandparents didn’t want me to see him on MTV, along with Daria, another iconic cartoon.

Picked up just yesterday. For me, it’s very "Magnetic Fields play Sufjan Stevens" (and vice versa). Quite lovely, indeed, although "minor" just like Distortion. Don't be foolish to let 69 Love Songs slip by, it’s an essential pop masterpiece (you know, you know).
