Max Richter The Blue Notebooks

I don't really understand the hype around this album. It's like a bourgeois ladies' version of Gybe!

But hey, to be fair... it's nice, you know?

I'll leave my usual comment like "nice city but I wouldn't live there."

I've always liked them and, to be honest, they've never seemed too derivative to me.
But after wow, I don’t know... I can’t be bothered to put in too much effort to listen to them.
Oh, in the end, I liked them on Verdena and I still get pumped with "valvonauta."

Oh my gosh, what a remember.
I used to blast their albums during middle school, their Fish period (stuff from my dad, obviously).
I should buy these records again.

I never give grades but here I'm giving a double 5 considering the previous comments! XD

Part of Dylan's greatness is also having had periods when he really sucked.
I don't even remember the album.

Send them in full force.

The Mars Volta are great. They were really awesome when they came out (they were also great as At The Drive-In, actually). I lost track of them after Bedlam, but I'm glad they're still on tour.

Emilio Lussu Marcia su Roma e dintorni

We already have the fascists, fortunately in a version that is still not too violent.

"September 25 is around the corner, the fascists are coming. Are you getting ready? I am, and very carefully." -> I bet 10 euros that before the end of the legislature there will be a Meloni PD government.

Annette Peacock X-Dreams

Great Peacock.
I saw them live a few years ago; it was a strange show... they sang little and were very focused on some "abstract" drums and piano, let's say.
Few synths.
Anyway, interesting to watch, she is quite iconic.
I later wrote a not-so-great review of I'm the One, which I really like, and her singing filtered through the Moog is still cool today.

meh.
both for his commercial career
and for the fact that he's a good guitarist (I don't care)
and for the fact that having released a blues album (?) with a cover like that after a career like his is an achievement.
