No Lord Henry, everyone knows very well, buy books on the history of jazz, mine is the common version of all critics, it is not reckless at all. I heard it for the first time from Herbie Hancock in I don’t remember which DVD, then I read a lot and the story is just that, exactly the same. Otherwise, check who made the first 100 jazz compositions, there isn’t a white person to be found even if you pay them in gold, and not even a light-skinned black, just all dark-skinned black, like chocolate of that 98% dark black :)

Massimof, but now if there’s high water in Venice and if the island of Vulcano sinks, destroying half of the Italian Tyrrhenian coast... is it Berlusconi's fault? You can say anything about him; he has so much power that it could scare Michael Corleone, but come on, I don’t think he governs the Seas and Storms too.

Sapyr, what the hell are you talking about? The biggest figures in Cool are black; name me a couple of white ones because I can't think of any. Then about Rock N Roll: It's not about who carries it on and who practices it, it's only about who created it. And anyway, Rock N Roll is music centered 60% around the electric guitar... who is the greatest electric guitarist in the world? Seems to me he was black, with a big hairdo and full lips, but I can't remember the name.

Well Massimo, we talk easy here in the calm and tranquil Mediterranean Sea, even Sardinia has been reclaimed to build structures on it. We’re worse than them; we have a ton of cities that go straight onto the sea without any protections because they would make economic and tourist maritime traffic difficult. We’re not too worried though, because in our little Mediterranean puddle it’s unlikely that something like that will happen. Still, we have our risks; after the winter tsunami, I saw several specials titled "Could it happen to us?" listing quite a few little islands at risk in the Mediterranean that could sink at any moment, creating a nice big tsunami for us too, and a lot of people from Palermo to Genoa, passing through Naples and Livorno, would be laughing. Or should we talk about the high water in Venice? Eh :D

Sampyr, when it comes to music, you’ve made some big mistakes: Cool Jazz is not at all White Jazz, not even to talk about it, Miles was BLACK, Cool belongs to Miles, Cool is BLACK. Then the anonymous one who says that the encyclopedia tells of jazz being born from the meeting between whites and blacks... the encyclopedia tells bullshit, Jazz was born in the brothels of the South, "To Jazz" meant "to speed up": to speed up the environment with music and make it more cheerful to encourage customers to drink more and spend more, and also more or less everyone when they’re getting laid is influenced by the musical background, so a fast music of piano and trumpet sped up the encounters allowing the lady to be freed up sooner for the next customer. Then of course the genre as we know it today has had great white influences, there was Luigi Belassoni: a very white Italian-American like a mozzarella who was the first drummer to use the double bass drum revolutionizing many things. There was Jaco Pastorius who just happened to invent the Fretless and a few other whites here and there, but for every white there are 20 blacks as a counterbalance, Jazz is a caffe macchiato, it is born black and in the end you add a little splash of white, but the black percentage is a thousand times higher. Both in Jazz, in Blues, and in its offspring, Rock N Roll. In Soul, Rap, and various stuff, it’s not even necessary to say it, just need to point out that in Rap the greatest of all time is a White-Latino, but after all, it’s still one white against 198 blacks.

Massimof, for point 1: you forgot the small detail that I wrote "A Pelle": I don't like them, but that doesn't mean they are bad people, nor does it mean they are great people, it just means that "they don't attract me," I don't "feel like getting to know them," in fact, I then wrote "I have always been attracted to...", it wasn't just a catchy phrase, it was simply a "I like, I don't like," an introduction to the discussion that comes afterwards, nothing more. For point 2) I don't believe in a Good & Just higher entity, maybe there is a higher entity, but if there is, I don't think it is as we are presented with it: in fact, I wrote that I don't believe IN THIS god, which is equally a catchy phrase as you say, but it seems this review is already a bit long, maybe when I have time I'll write a book and send it to you. Oh, let's be clear: you're right to say that these are phrases that are a bit empty, but we must keep in mind that I'm someone who writes free thoughts on a website, I don't have either the mental and temporal resources or the right medium available (Debaser, not Corriere della Sera) nor the interested audience to write something truly important about such a big issue like this. Ultimately, it is indeed a free thought that addresses questions larger than the writer, but that's what it wanted to be, just a thought, I'm not Oriano Fallacio or Tony Capuozzo (the first two names that came to mind) :)

I love heavy electronic live shows, those for sure. I've seen the Chemical Brothers a couple of million times, Carl Cox a billion times, Plastikman, Acquaviva, and various others, and only once (unfortunately) A. Twin and the Warp Squad. I like those, but at least you dance; standing still with a lighter in the air isn't my thing.

Well, I'm not really into concerts, quite the opposite actually. Then, such a relaxing and thoughtful music like that of the Massive just doesn’t fit in a Live setting for me. They can’t exactly bring all the singers they've collaborated with along. I would have loved to see the presentation of the self-titled album by Portishead in New York; I bought that on DVD and it’s worth it. However, the little I've seen of Massive in a Live context didn't excite me. I've bought everything they’ve released, even the solo projects and that kind of thing they pass off as a "DVD" (there are ten videos total, and not even a cover), and I would buy them all over again one by one, but really, live is a hard pass for me :D

No, I don't believe it's a ready-made sauce; the mozzarella is so... so... oh right, but you're from Campania, I should have guessed.

I will then produce helmets for females and sell them on the sly, so I can make money in the face of you metalheads. And with the helmets, more protection from the cleva, and more protection from the claves, fewer hits, and fewer hits, less c1, and less c1, more parking for my little Ferrari (bought with the sale of the helmets, of course).
