Franci!

But does anyone know what you need to do to get the ARCI membership card? The Melvins are playing at Magnolia around December 2nd, I don't know whether to sell the ticket for the Alice who are performing on the same day and go see Buzzo or keep it (30 euros for Alice, but only 10 euros for the Melvins...).

The names seem interesting (Fennesz, Venetian Snares, and Dalek seem to have a certain fame... but I'm not really familiar with that scene). The album, listened to on the advice of a friend, had kind of piqued my interest. Who knows...

1) I know Reggio Calabria (one of my uncles is from that area or is always Calabrian) and trends only reach the big cities. So in Reggio Calabria, fortunately, there are fewer "emos" because trends start either from Rome or Milan, and here in Bergamo they arrive because we are the leftovers of the Milanese. Therefore, it's not a point against them; Calabrians are more practical when it comes to sporting blue hair... 2) I am in lower Bergamo. 3) I don’t care how much you might like Pearl Jam. I don’t hate them... I've made some observations. I haven't given them credibility licenses since they have made their own history and I haven’t, nor have I said they are amateurs or that they are a boyband. I just said they made the leap from the underbelly of Seattle to the hit charts around the world in a "calculated" way, with a strategy... that’s all. It’s not necessarily a demerit; many bands have done it, and one makes music to sell records; otherwise, you go back to living under the bridges... So for these facts (which are not opinions), you’ve been taking potshots, but it is what it is. 4) I don’t let anyone influence me, least of all a nickname. At most, I get influenced by my neighbor or my uncle who lends me records. Ah, and I am not "cultured," nor do I want to be. Bye.

Fuck, then coming from Nosebleed, the one who spends time in chat writing "XD". I'm becoming more and more convinced I'm saying incredibly smart things, damn it. Isn't it my own idea? You throw something in my face, then we can talk about it. For sure, you don't start a discussion by insinuating something... Do you really expect someone to respond to you politely like you want? You don't even read between the lines of my comments, yet you still catch your daily bullshit. Don’t even read them and don’t even write my name, it’s better for everyone. Byebye.

Nosebleed, my genius of the day. "Listen to Cornell (who has more sense than you)" and then, all in a row, "if only it were your own work...". Well, if I listened to Cornell, it would be Cornell's work. I've always said that stupid people never get to the point. Am I listening too much or too little? Now that's a load of crap, don't say that the Pe'Gemma are clever clogs (I've listed why and how, and nobody has answered me... in fact, everyone just didn't understand a damn thing).

Nice page, Bob. More "emo" than usual. :)

But has Cornell really betrayed the fans with this album? Damn, there's a lot to learn.

It's the fifth time and you say the same things. And yes, there would be a lot to say about this album... Alright, 4.5 for Above, but I'm happy to round it up because Layne is at his peak.

We need to dig deeper...

Of course, they become "indie" only when it suits them...
