Too long, too!

Good job. When I feel like a certain kind of sound, I’ll know who to turn to.

Of course he likes it, we always watch him on the couch when we cuddle. Do you want to join us?

I saw Ray Charles in the seventies and he sucked. Hendrix too, to be honest.

But if Josi is worse than me!! Ask Enea about it. He will confirm Josi's musical whining :D

Don't trust Josi, no matter what he says. That evening he was too distracted by the salami and wasn't paying attention. I saw him this summer and it was one of the most beautiful concerts I have ever seen.

Anyway, it's pretty strange that you didn't like it. Maybe it was a night when you got too high. But why didn't you like it? (I even convinced Bartle to come, so you have to come for sure)

he's quite a connoisseur, he is B-)

Wow, the lights have even unsettled the mythical Josi! :D Jo!, are you coming to see Micah P. Hinson at s Salumeria della musica on December 5th? Come on, you really liked it last time! :D

But Azzo, your questions are so rhetorical that they answer themselves! What else do I have to tell you? That I don’t want to listen to marimbas from Vasco Brondi? I don't want to listen to marimbas from Vasco Brondi! Well, I said it. And it's the same for all the other questions. Your argument is perfectly fine: Vasco has a poetic style, it’s a strong poetic style, it’s inspired by Italian singer-songwriter tradition (which you still have to explain to me why it’s better to be inspired by the Italian one than any other country), perfect, you are absolutely right. Eh. But can someone who has a poetic style, a strong poetic style, and is inspired by the Italian singer-songwriter tradition make a bad album? And can I think it’s a bad album? That’s also a rhetorical question, eh. I’m not destroying Brondi’s poetic style, given that I liked his first album a lot and I still listen to it. I’m criticizing, which, then, to say “criticizing” is an exaggeration, a good part of the songs on this album. And I’m criticizing, if we want to put it that way, the lyrics. Which seemed to me rhetorical and off-center, while those from the previous album (and I’m talking about the previous album to have a point of comparison, but I could well do without) were not. I agree with you about the 70s; he mentioned that when I saw him at Scrittorincittà in Cuneo, where he started recommending books on the Italian 70s. Perfect. But you talk about pretexts, about the ideas behind the project, behind his poetic style. I, in addition to considering these things, after hearing the results, tell you that, in my opinion, this is a weak album. I find the line about the odd license plates ridiculous; it seems to me like a joke meant to mock. What’s there to explain further? If something makes me laugh, it makes me laugh! As for Massimo Volume, look, I agree with you. There are phrases that I don’t like either. Maybe those make you laugh. So what? Is it now that I’ve criticized what you like, you attack what I like? :D And now I’m going to check on Wikipedia who Harold Bloom is. And don’t let the pasta overcook!
