First commandment: thou shalt not take the name of God in vain. Second commandment: commit impure acts only when there's a bidet within reach of the scrotal sack. Third commandment: despise Milan and Juventus. Fourth commandment: at least wait for the damn publication date. The fifth we will condone.

This thing about plastic production gives me the input. Yesterday, after a mountain of years, encouraged by the review, I listened to Jar of Flies again. Well, super plastic production even back in the day; basically how, for me, a Rock album shouldn’t sound, along with certain nice cheesy things, like how you shouldn’t play guitar for me, always for me. Staley, on the other hand, always absolute. I didn’t remember them like this.

Damn, I prefer Solid Gold. I've never met anyone, except me, who prefers Solid Gold, but starting with Entertainment is better because it’s more direct and strong. With Solid Gold, on the other hand, they throw everything in. And it's true, the sound of the Peel Sessions is inimitable, the best for any live performance, and anyone who’s done them has done it with an amazing sound (I recommend those of Can, they're a trip!). Kosmo, the thing is that Marie Antoinette is not the story of Marie Antoinette, but the story of any twenty-year-old; in fact, it could have been called "Being Twenty" and Coppola would have faced way less criticism. The conceptual aspect I really like is precisely that of the soundtrack, those pink Converse among the shoes of the era or the idea, then not realized, of driving a Rolls Royce through the courtyard of Versailles while playing Ceremony. I mean, Marie Antoinette is a pretext to talk about what to do for pleasure these days :) Anyway, yes, I really like it but I’m aware that it’s a somewhat generational film. Maybe Azzo would hate it, but that’s not certain: they say he’s a wonderful forty-something :)

Well, you're right, but I, being good-natured, think that others are always ill-intentioned. :)

Bela bela. On the issue of the name: I would kick them in the ass. Groups are formed with friends or supposed friends and "Don't try to contact any member of AIC (Alice in Chains). They are not my friends." as Cornell linked. So, that’s all. Money... tu-ta-ta-tu-ta!

But Chick Corea, the one famous for having played with Pino Daniele? :)

"In a democracy, newspapers and public TV (of everyone) have the duty to criticize the government's actions, and the government must respond with the force of concrete facts and not with threats and reprisals." For example, Schumpeter said the exact opposite, and he said it in the name of freedom, as a liberal and not a free-market advocate. For him, once political power was assumed, the politician should be free to act for the common good. The problem of Italy is not one of freedom (but what the hell good is freedom to a person!?!). Its problem is that of existence. There has never been a challenge to the legitimacy of the state in Italy (both old and new), therefore no one has ever desired this state. Italy exists because someone created it, while no one cared less than zero. In short, everything we do, we do either out of laziness or effort, never for the pleasure of doing it (unlike the Germans (it's called Bildung)), unless the national team is playing. Italians are doing poorly anyway. Poor them :) Essentially, Italy is a state, but not a nation, and from this all evils descend because those who act do so in the name of the state (which then passes away and who cares), but not for the nation. Okay, I'll stop with the rambling. Have a good weekend.

Fedee, but when are the videos with Clio coming out? :) Anyway, I'll stand up for Ruotolo; no one talks about him, but he's good at his job and I respect him. And then, okay, I’ll say it, journalists in general are terrible, but in Italy, they’re particularly awful because of that sort of license they need to have, which is an invention from the Fascist era. In short, they have to be muzzled as such.

Sure, if Vauro makes you think, it means the current thinker is in really bad shape.

Go Frenk! Today is an important match. I can feel a goal from Cigarini, but not too much, eh!
