No, it's fine. I, notoriously, couldn't care less about other people's opinions. You might like the Pussycat Dolls, it makes no difference to me. Anyway, I recommend checking out a couple of interviews with the Cro-Mags where they complain about arriving too late because of drugs, violence, and sex work, that the streets of New York are tough, unlike those in DC. In short, they themselves tell you that their time was over before it even started. Even if they had recorded in '82, nothing would have happened; they were just another good band. Harley Flanagan should come to terms with it: he is not Ian Mackaye.

"The Cro-Mags make you shit, and you still have respect for La Quiete?" No, now you have to explain what that means. What’s the relationship between the Cro-Mags and La Quiete, apart from the fact that both bands have at least one guitar, one drum, and one bass? It doesn't even make sense because if you can't stand the Cro-Mags, you can't stand Bad Brains either. It's like saying: if you don't like Gattuso, why would you like Maradona? Panic, you made me laugh with 'gay pogo.' But no problem, just stand in the back row. I think the gay stage-diving is worse, though :)

Cornell, don’t mind it. It’s just envy on my part. It's just that I've always loved Dr Martens :) But now I don’t like them. Lux, when I voted, I voted for what I remembered. Since that day, Umber - iTunes in hand - I've listened to it six times and today, if I had to vote for it, I would give it a 3.

Between 4 and 5, but I’ll go with 5 because they finally gave me a glass of orange juice and I feel nicer. Discone-one.

What a shame about the frame around the cover... white on white it's better. If anyone is interested in Indian Summer and can’t find anything, send me an email. Mataca, don’t worry: the so-called "Emo" is so vast and heterogeneous that sooner or later you’ll find something you like. Don’t give up. Jurix, you're right. Chaotic, but the live version printed in 2006 (Hidden Arithmetic) is even more so with songs that exceed 16 minutes. Live, they were even more ethereal. Lux, no... despite some common ingredients they taste completely different from Bitch Magnet (whom I like very little).

I, on the other hand, suggest you a nice textbook. Then, if you have a few coins left, also the diary from Beverly Hills. That way, you can explain ("I was following with great interest the critiques (valuable material for those who know they need to grow) that you started making about the music, but then you bored me") how you could follow the critiques I made about the music when I stated, after many comments (I was here to talk about Canali), quite quickly that I had only listened to three songs and that all three of them had made me feel like crap? Isn’t it much simpler to say that you found the page and that your ass got burned because here no one ripped out their pubic hair in joy just because Canali clocked in and because you sing in Italian? You didn’t exactly come on Rockit, did you? It doesn’t say Rockit up there, just Italian products. And no.

This one also seems good to me. You could include it in a text.

"and a direct experience, in turn, can only be contradicted by another direct experience. period." And I said he is a fraud towards his audience of simpletons based on direct experience. Now do we want to compete over who has the biggest direct experience or should everyone just keep their own experience and stick it wherever they please? I'll give you a piece of advice, which you can also use for the texts: it's called egocentrism, not narcissism, and if I talked too much about myself it’s because there was no one on the other side with a shred of a response to offer ;) Bye

The reviewer brought up Zu and Albini in an attempt to untangle things, but instead got even more entangled, given that Albini is not a producer and keeps his insights to himself. Ufomammut come into play because it’s said that Italian rock is in agony, and they are an example of how, on the contrary, some rock is thriving. Kosmo, La Quiete must be listened to. They released an album (La Fine non è la Fine) and a ton of 7" and split records collected in "Tenpeun" ... and now another one of these collections should be coming out for Sons of Vesta. And anyway, to illustrate the substantial difference, La Quiete is not sponsored by Canali, but by Grant Hart (or Mould... I can't remember right now), saying more or less that they are the only band for which it’s worth using the word punk. Not trivial at all.

Here, I haven't talked about Ufomammut because it's not exactly my field, but they also rock and a lot of people are envious of them. I would love to see how much Canali are envied abroad... and let's not start with the nonsense about language being a discriminant because La Quiete tour the world singing, actually shouting, in Italian, and the Indigesti were already doing it in the 80s. I put the King Bong album on a CD-R, and listening to it on headphones is an insult; in my opinion, it rocks. They are really good... it's not something you find in stores, no surprise there. Panic, let's get organized for the maruzze as soon as the nice weather comes.
