strangler

no Air Ones, don’t leave us, elevate us to your highest level of thought by talking to us about the importance of the Chorale in liturgical practice during the Lutheran Reformation... damn, you even succeeded in silencing the badass dot, for this I will be grateful for life and beyond... a kiss on the cheek: yours Strangler

It's beautiful how certain albums may seem trivial to most and are appreciated only by a minority, making them even more fascinating.

Speaking of fascists, I’m reminded of when Johnny Rotten entered the Jewish neighborhood wearing a giant swastika on his shirt... well, this is punk, and this image speaks more than a thousand words. Your problem, Air Ones, is that you are so trapped in your mental cages that you have to choose. Luckily for me, I don’t feel forced to make these choices; I listen to everything (both masters and non-masters) as long as it conveys emotions to me. Strange word for you, isn’t it? "Emotion", I wonder how long it’s been since you’ve experienced one... you see, you should thank me, because by hating me (I quote you directly), I allowed you to feel an emotion, isn’t that beautiful? Don’t you feel more alive? Forget the cut and paste, the quotes, think with your heart, preferably with your own, you’ll come across as less scholarly but more authentic... I know it must be frustrating to see a mass of socially deviated individuals pissing on universally acclaimed works of art, looking for what, in a past you probably referenced unconsciously, was called "degenerate art"...

Sure, if by punk you mean Offspring and similar stuff, fine, boredom reigns supreme; unfortunately, like all things that then become business, it's hard to find quality. But, you might not like it and it might not convey anything to you (which seems legitimate), but you can't deny that if it hadn't been for that, today music wouldn’t be the same. I know it's a cliché that gets used often, but it works...
Regarding Airone: The growth of the arts???? You don’t study art in school; well, you can study it, but making art is a whole different thing: Van Gogh was locked up in an asylum while artists coming from the best academies were celebrated; his work was considered crap, yet only today do we understand its value. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF SOMEONE STUDIES IN a lab a form of exquisite music if what it conveys to me is just an itch at the base of my testicles; screw all your sciences, techniques, scales, and impossible arpeggios; I leave them to those who are now dead inside (musically speaking, of course). Anyway, I certainly don't want to convince anyone; some things are either felt or, well, too bad.

Honestly, I can't explain it; I just like it. It's a bit like with women (or men), they have all the characteristics that have never appealed to you, you can't quite understand why, but you can't do without that person.
Regarding the idea that everything is the same, I would have something to say: if you consider punk with its anarchic vision (a vision that reflects not only in the lifestyle but also in the way of conceiving music), you can easily imagine it as a music that has no limits, and precisely for this reason, it can't all be the same. Of course, I started with bands like Dead Kennedys, whose music and lyrics are anything but trivial even today. Bands like Husker Du would have a lot to say even now. Next week in Milan, there's UK. Subs, almost sixty-year-olds who play on stage like teenagers; how can you not get emotional in front of such characters? And today, you can find punk in many forms: do you think there's no punk in Patton's music? One of my favorite young Italian bands live is One Dimensional Man; in my opinion, there's so much punk in them that Sid Vicious is praying for them from the hell he’s stuck in. Fifteen days ago, I saw Sick Of It All, and I assure you that, despite the audience being very, very cold at the beginning, after 20 minutes, the crowd was in a frenzy; I didn’t see anyone standing still, and it was beautiful to see in the front rows, after so many years, so many new colorful mohawks... there would be too many examples to give, and my typing laziness prevents me from doing so.

this yes, great band, music for seasoned argonauts...

Indeed, yesterday we even managed not to insult each other, it was a special day.... but what happened to the others? After our rants, have they left for India? Well, that's their problem...

Punk has shown that feelings can be conveyed even without knowing how to play, and if you think about it, this is quite a remarkable thing, a mental revolution that has opened (and continues to open) new musical horizons. Not knowing how to play yet still managing to move the masses with your instrument, able to make life choices for millions of young people... forget about politicians! Punk, before being music, is an attitude; probably many people don't realize it but they behave like punks, maybe deep down in their sludge, while burning in their hell, but that’s a whole different story...

no dot, for me you're too advanced, and I just can't keep up with you, I go with the flow but always with a lot of calm, everything has its own timing, except for Patton's music of course, which follows no time....and you don’t have to be a musician to make music, you just have to listen to the vibrations that come from the universe, the primordial sound that Mother Earth embraces in her womb and sends back to us in the form of energy...yeah....

But what do we care? The important thing is that for 8 euros I saw a concert that, along with the one by M. Franti, I consider to be among the best since 2004... the rest is just wanking, which I gladly leave to you, my dear dot, THE MUSIC DOT, PUT THE MUSIC FIRST, FOR MASTURBATING YOUR BRAIN THERE ARE OTHER SUBSTANCES... in the rush to not get caught, I forgot to sign my name, damn it.
