It's a copying oversight from some site, like that of "maledetti" taken from the CD booklet. In short: what a pain. The obsession was caused by the opening phrase where it implicitly calls all users “superficial,” and since he has to break some oranges before trying to act cool, it was pointed out to him that if he wants to play the perfectionist, all he has to do is say it and we all turn into teachers complete with permanent red pens and glasses perched on the tip of our noses. Hey Symbad, can you tell me what image is on the back of the City Sound vinyl? The CD has an awful black page with white titles, and it doesn't feel very much like Area to me. Is the original 70 the same or should the re-pressers be eaten by Yugoslav hornets?

Track number 11 on this album is qotsa at hilarious levels. Track 3 is Depeche Mode. The rest is all very nice (except for another two that are a bit qotsa but not at the level of track 11 that makes you laugh out loud because of how shameless it is; they've even imitated the vocals). I rate it between 2 and 3 because the shameless plagiarisms are annoying, even if only in a few tracks. They would have done better to create a Rmx of already existing pieces.

And what is the name of the inhabitant of Cacchiamo?

You on that side have nothing to envy the north; in fact, you are well ahead. I've always been attracted to Vallelunga Pratameno, keeping in mind that if I had to choose a residence to put on my ID card, Caccamo remains the top choice. With less money, of course, Modica. But now I’ve come up with a real cosmic question that I've been carrying with me for many years: does Sambuca come from Sambuca or is it just a coincidence? It's not that far from your home; you should know. If not, ask around: I thirst for knowledge.

I always have a place to send you, you know, no need for compliments.

Alright, then I forgive you.

I found it because I was looking for light in my dark life, and those who seek, find. Open yourself to the supreme knowledge, open up. Yesss, more open, in short: throw yourself wide open.

Yes, it’s true, you can’t make heads or tails of it. I don’t have much time, so I’ll try to condense the idea, but the results, upon rereading, are far from positive. Here, I’ve mentioned three names because they’re basically the top three “defenders of the genre.” I’m not disputing the fact that some groups may stand out, but the genre as a starting point really doesn’t do it for me. The discussion is even simpler than how you frame it, in my opinion: since I find one band out of twenty-seven in punk appealing, I don't find the genre and/or movement interesting. The existence of the Gun Club doesn’t make me re-evaluate tons of stuff that I just can’t stand. Just like the fact that RATM existed doesn’t stop me from saying that rap-metal is a terrible genre since 98% of the bands are awful, and the koRn don’t stop me from saying that nu-metal is garbage, etc., etc. /// Sonic Youth discussion: yes, I hear some rock songs with a bit of abrasive solos but nothing too “difficult.” That doesn’t mean it’s bad; I just think it’s something you can listen to without too much effort. Then again, to be “punk,” it’s certainly very, very difficult, that’s true, but as far as general music goes, it's still quite accessible. Perhaps it’s because I discovered Youth a bit late, with ears that were already trained. If you don't know Acid Mothers Temple, try listening to "Electric Heavyland": I think that’s more classifiable as “non-song-distorted.” That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good, but it’s definitely not melodic.
