I arrive late but I arrive. I had already read it, but now I've read it again and it's very beautiful, well done zzzzzzzz!

I’ve been on the hunt for this record for at least two weeks and I can’t find it because everywhere I go they've just sold the only copy they had, argh!

It may not be the best, but it's definitely among... the best.
But after all this journey, dear Stefano, did you turn off the computer?

Make sure a date absolutely has to be set, and it's that one in Verona! I recommend zzzzzzz watch out for crossed packages and convince the Bolzano folks. If you want/you all want to come even the night before, there's the concert by Sophia, and from what G_à says, who saw them in Berlin, they're not bad at all!

Is this a technical sheet of the album or a press release?

I can’t believe it! It’s not to defend my friend Mr. Iko, who can defend himself just fine (of course he can, he’s a lawyer!), but Stefano, with all due respect, where did you get your diploma? From the TIM school of VODAFONE?! And when you wrote an essay, did you send the teacher a text message?
Little people have a good point when they complain about the lack of correct punctuation and the trembling abuse of ellipses, and they’re right. It’s not to be pedantic, but sentences written the way Stefano wrote them are spine-chilling!

I don't cross it because if I do (like that time in the car) then the one who receives it falls in love with it out of habit and interrupts the de-crossing. For the magazine, much worse: Musica di Repubblica and other articles here and there. I haven't read Il Mucchio since they hyped the last La Crus like crazy, and who trusts certain nonsense anymore (even the one that was bought).

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds The Good Son

I have always been crazy about Nick Cave's music and I own every note he has ever officially recorded. Seeing him live in Milan was so profound for me that I couldn’t even write a review about it, I was so moved by the concert. Entering the debate on what is Cave's best album, I wouldn't point out just one but rather the entire mid-80s period, namely: "your funeral... my trial", "kicking against the pricks", and this "the good son". Three unattainable albums... in every sense!

If you enjoyed the jazz reinterpretation of Nino Rota and Bacalov, check out and send in heavy rotation "la dolce vita" by the Tommaso/Rava quartet (Rava, Tommaso, Gatto, and Bollani), which is a jazz reinterpretation of various soundtracks from Italian cinema. It’s an amazing album where, in my opinion, Rava is more inspired than ever as he reworks "profumo di donna" by Armando Trovajoli. But why am I even telling you this!? You must already have the CD for sure!

I bought this album after reading an enthusiastic review in a "specialized" magazine; I’ve listened to it three times and maybe that's too much! A mishmash of ideas, suggestions, and inspirations taken here and there, without meaning and without a logical thread. I didn't like it, did that come across?
