Hi Cleo, during my wanderings through the site, I stumbled upon the "most recommended" section, and yours rightfully tops the chart. I've always "dressed" in black, and in the summer, I don’t come alive in the evening but from 6 PM to 9 PM, reflecting on the almost empty beach. What I love about summer is that the 24-hour day offers you the chance to appreciate beautiful aspects at all hours. In winter, the night is too cold for the mind to wander freely near the lapping of the waves.

The vote goes to the artist because although I have some of Veloso's albums, I don't have this collection. However, I think that today's Veloso has lost a bit of his edge because he tends to overdo it with his role as a global figure and tries too hard to meet the easy expectations of his sometimes overly diverse audience, aiming to please everyone. It's not a fault; it just risks losing originality. Still, it’s very pleasant to occasionally read something about Brazil in these pages. My first experience was bitterly criticized, but I know people among us readers/reviewers who deeply love, like me, this music too; debaserioti whose melancholy is illuminated by the warmth of the heart and the depth of the soul, absolutely typical of this culture as well.

I really enjoyed the DVD with the videos, it's wonderfully sensual, while the album is somewhat less warm but some moments are truly fantastic. High rotation!

I confirm, you also lost the 5! What a beautiful review, but the album is splendid, to be listened to in one go. It was also released two years ago as an attachment to Corriere della Sera; sometimes those attachments in newspapers are real precious gems.

And to think that I traded Area "Azione" (original) 5 years ago for "Cafè Blue" by Style Council, now that’s a F*** UP!

In my opinion, it's like a wax museum... in great company, by the way.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't stand her, I don't know why, I feel an annoying friction when I listen to her, she irritates me to no end, her vocalizations and trills drive me crazy... and this album annoys me exponentially," wrote Kosmo, and I add that I can't stand the character either. Among her albums that I have, I put on "Vespertine" as soon as I got it, listened to the first two tracks, and then took it off for eternity. I tried to listen to "Medulla" at Fnac, but after the first 30 seconds, I took off the headphones; I just can't do it, it gives me the same effect that cheese does to Antimo... and it's not just him!

Hal took 9 months to find this record, I took a full 13!!!! Now I'm listening to it on repeat and it's fascinating me a lot! I love the mood it has.
These are the reviews that drew me closer to DeB, while those of Bon Jovi are doing the opposite.

Ah how I understand you!

But what do you think, man, why did punk emerge at the end of the '70s, purely from a musical standpoint? It's clear that progressive had reached pure baroqueism, and as with every decade shift, they turned the page with a clean break; something similar happened with grunge ten years later. So it's evident that the techniques reached by certain bands in the '70s are technically superior to the roughness and naivety that characterized early punk, especially our local version. However, the world of art always rewards the new impulse, the idea that wasn't there before, and especially what mirrors (if not anticipates) the social world. This takes me back to the memory of Kosmo, those tough years when they attempted a proletarian antagonistic revolution: street clashes, the Red Brigades, the strategy of tension, but it all failed because there was a lot happening, yet the invoked element was missing, namely the participation of the masses. The march of the 40,000 in Turin sealed that failure, which came to be known as the "silent majority." This doesn't detract from the fact that even if it wasn’t a great social success, culturally it sprouted such a strong new spirit that it managed to make people forget everything that came before for a long time. But back then, popular music could still invent something new and never heard before; unfortunately, it later just became a sprouting of nu-metal and copycat bands. I've let myself get carried away by the "finger fever"; who knows if what I've written makes sense and is relevant? I won't re-read it, because otherwise, I might end up revising and deleting everything.
