The Sound From The Lions Mouth

The formatting is the kind to forget. There must have been some mistake because everything was actually written in the same style, and there were a couple of spacings, after "dieci anni più del sottoscritto" and after "mi sono quasi dimenticato". Is there a way to fix this, editors?

The "Sound Tales" from Fabbri Editore were wonderful. A beautiful review, at times tear-jerking. In my heart, there are a thousand tales to tell.

Putiferio Ate Ate Ate

Well-written review for an album that seems at least interesting. However, I have a question: does Giulio Ragno Favero have anything to do with Mario Pigozzo (always) Favero from Valentina Dorme? I’m not so much talking about family ties as I am about possible collaborations: they should both be from Veneto, by the way. Moreover, to set the record straight, there was also a mustachioed left-back from Avellino and Juventus in the eighties named Favero (Luciano). But he, I believe, has little to do with this whole story.

You’re right. There really wasn’t a need for this instrumental rehash. Rather, tell me... how did you tackle the dandruff problem?

Hi Donnie. It seems that it's not possible to add a DeCaso among the favorite reviews. Or, if I understood correctly, it's possible to do it, but the DeCaso won't be visible among the favorites anyway. Happy New Year to you too!

Robert Johnson King of the Delta Blues Singers, Volume 2

29 dec 08

Voto:

After reviewing King of the Delta Blues Singers, you had to complete the circle, and you couldn't have done it in a better way. Stunning review for an artist who can hardly be defined as anything less than fundamental: these recordings are a genuine manifestation of pure genius, which, from this perspective, perhaps only Barrett approached in his solo work. I've listened to Clapton's tribute album. It's not a bad record, but it's unnecessary to say that it adds very little to the original versions. I've put it away for quite a while.

An overwhelming Liverpool delivers a legendary performance at St. James' Park. Against the white-and-blacks of Newcastle, the match ends 5-1 in favor of Benitez's team, which thus keeps Chelsea, led by Scolari, at bay and solidifies its first place in the standings. Felipao, in fact, with the draw against Fulham, is now three points behind the Reds and sees his coaching position hanging by a thread: he will wager much of his credibility at Old Trafford in the next round, against the newly-crowned world champions Manchester United. As for the record... well, this one is definitely a record for one.

Review, as always, wonderful, captain. I really don’t remember the movie, but it seems like one of those that we all stumble upon sooner or later. I'll leave the rating in suspense. Maybe I'll watch it again.

Ladislao Vajda Marcellino Pane e Vino

At least ten, fifteen years since I last saw it. It's a classic, it made me cry and affected entire generations, and I honestly have always disregarded any possible religious interpretation: for me, it has always been just a brilliantly made children's movie. Perhaps it should be revisited to grasp further aspects. I wonder, at this point, if your reading of the film (which I find interesting and not at all provocative) has anything to do with Allan Kardec and Spiritism... and I answer myself that yes, it probably does. It would be curious to know if the director had a similar interpretation, but I doubt it.

Gianni Brera Storia Critica del Calcio Italiano

29 dec 08

Voto:

Brera mostly wrote about Inter and Milan, but I read somewhere that he supported Genoa: from Wikipedia, I also learned about the charming story of the discovery of the official document of the creation of the rossoblu club, which apparently ended up in the hands of the good old Gianni and was only recently finally displayed in a dedicated museum. Brera was a catenacciaro, in love with Rocco and Italian football, but regarding Sacchi, besides the football played by his Milan, he probably liked the character very little as well. Who could blame him? In this football, in today’s society, Brera would be a fish out of water.
