carlo cimmino

Great review! However, I believe the music of Kraftwerk cannot be separated from the (not just musical) context of 1970s Germany. Anyway, I own this work, but I must say that it doesn't particularly excite me (though it’s true that live they "make a difference") and I prefer to revisit the older works of Ralf and Florian. Is it true that Schneider left the band? Why on earth?

"Dear carlo cimmino, Keeley Hazell has sent you a private message." I don't know if I'm making myself clear, my dears.

Hello blechtrommel. Clementi? It's my personal (and highly debatable) association. Let's say that Succi's lyrics, although the "delivery" is different and the subject matter (the settings, certainly more rural and primitive as described by Succi) is treated, remind me of the decay found in some of Clementi's texts. alessioIRIDE and Finnegan, I can fully understand your resignation (and I’m partly forced to share it), but it’s the choice between a drunk wife and a full barrel that I don't agree with. Naples is in decline and changing, and this is happening in a way that is indeed devoid of rules and uncontrollable, but can we be sure that the direction is different from that taken elsewhere? We’ve spoken of Marxism, but I’d be more inclined to define Naples as the city of the triumph of capitalism. On the other hand, it’s true that it is changing, but it has still remained the city of lazzaroni willing to sell themselves for a flat-screen TV. macaco, if you tell me that a good percentage of that 54% is also noteworthy, I will seriously start considering the move. Brazil has given Italy a couple of things (not that it took much...), which is always a plus. But where is Olinda located? Approximately, I mean.

I haven't read the book, but from the description, the protagonist seems no joke either. Great review, which in its conclusions tries to find a reason for the title (but I can't imagine what favor the idiot might have asked for). And then Larsson was a second striker, but he scored quite a few goals in his career.

I almost forgot the vote.

Maybe it's a duplicate, maybe everything has already been said about this album, but you definitely tried to do it in an original way. Anyway, I like Kid A.

Oh no, let’s not joke around. Now I want the links too.

Fireworks are set off even if Mariarca from the bottom of the alley across the street has gotten married or if Napoli has drawn with Lanciano. It doesn’t matter if it’s four in the morning. Alessio, all things considered, I don’t agree with you. I recognize the originality of Naples, I don't deny my roots – and I’ll tell you, “sometimes” I run a red light too – and I take pleasure in the fact that Maradona’s Argentina knocked Italy out of the '90 World Cup. I don't have my nose in the air, and I’m used to this “originality” (if we want to call it that), but don’t you ever have the suspicion that we Neapolitans, deep down in this situation, are just getting it in the rear? I'm not saying we should all leave the city en masse, but the price we pay seems quite high to me. And then on the other side, there’s always someone who profits from this price we pay. It’s not a question of hatred, and I appreciate those who manage to refrain from complaining at every “event” (otherwise, we wouldn’t stop, and in a couple of years, we’d all have our livers in shambles), but someone is really putting it to us, and I think we could live in this city in a better way. We could experience it rather than endure it, and then, yes, we’d all be much more “Marxist.”

Trying in inhumane conditions? Anyway, it’s not the music itself that bothers me (especially if it’s Pavement or, even better, the excellent Smog), but the volume. But maybe it's just me being too old and fussy. Finally, I’ll tell you that it’s true we are divèrs, but it’s also undeniable that in Naples even the silliest thing becomes impractical, that a foolishness is a tragedy. Naples is perhaps unique and distinctive, but rather than witnessing Tony Colombo concerts held in my alley for the baptism of some third-rate guappo’s daughter, every now and then I won’t hide that I’d actually prefer to be in a “squared, odorless, European and packaged” place.

azzo and telespallabob, the latter (guiltily) I miss. I plan to make up for it as soon as possible. But it's true that the former had a greater impact on me, as it was something "unexpected."
