I was in a hypoglycemic crisis, this page uplifted my spirits.

Do you want to bet too, Moon? How about I pay for a trip to Croatia in search of a bar with a strange pole in the middle of the room?

Ah... sorry, I almost forgot. Demetrio Stratos. Now they make films with that poor inept fool Agnelli trying to imitate the great one. Now Bjork, the porn grandma, is making albums of just her voice. In '75-'78, nobody bought Stratos’s records, and they spat in his face from the audience when he tried to do something new, they threw vegetables at him. But now, everyone says he was a genius, because he was. It's just that... people felt mental cages.

How the hell do you write Van Gog?

Strangler, what you call the Mental Cage, I like it, I hear good music for 60 minutes. If you hear Mental Cages then don't buy it. If Patton acted like Zappa, he wouldn't be the new Zappa. To be the new Zappa, you have to explore all fields, assimilate them, and spit them out according to your vision, like Zappa did. But YOUR vision, not Zappa's. Zappa, though, you listen to him now, in 2005, and do we not add a fucking thank you? Your father, certainly, said about Zappa what you say about Patton. Your father doesn't have Zappa's records and you call him a loser; you won't have Patton's records and your son will call you a loser. If instead your father has Zappa's records, then you're doubly foolish for not buying Patton's, or you didn't inherit from your father, the great man who had Zappa's records. My father has more records than a media store, but he probably has 3 Zappa records. Why? Because he might have seen them as mental cages, but if Miles Davis made mental cages, then everything's fine. How come Radiohead makes Amnesiac and Patton can't make records with Kaada? Patton is too advanced for many, and only my grandson will fully appreciate him. Music, sooner or later, will end; we're already remixing the old stuff, redoing and mixing something we've already heard to create something "different," but you always start from there. Patton, no, he disassembles written concepts, but it's not his fault he wasn't born in 1930. Mike Patton is the new Frank Zappa, and time will prove me right; how much do you want to bet? What did people say about Van Gogh? How much does a Van Gogh COST NOW?

This is what I find from Delogu? mmmmhhhh... the other day I got Davis Live At Royal Albert Hall (recorded a month after the release of Bitches Brew) and I gave it away (but first I copied it...), however, this one I think I'll keep for myself. I haven't even bought half a Fresu album, and that doesn't really help my Sardinian nationality, I better fix this or else they’ll ban me from Time In Jazz this summer :D / This year at the final evening, I heard he put on quite a show, it's just that they do it in the middle of August... damn... the bagass...

You know what really blew me away? The bass. It's not normal for that era (Oh, maybe in a year I'll discover something even more mind-blowing, but for now it’s just insane). The sharp sounds, the Barrett-era Floyd had those, but not the low frequencies like this. And to think the Floyd started on top, EMI, not some garage record label. Well, it's not like the windows were shaking at home, but damn, 1968. For example, I usually only listen to "The Piper..." after tweaking the equalizer like a madman, I did the same with this out of habit… and it hits way harder. Of course, the Floyd have more clarity, but come on, it's EMI records at Abbey Road; this was made in the little studio where grandpa Czukay kept his sausages aging :)))) / I really "watch" these things hard, in fact, I hate punk productions, the purposely raw stuff because it sounds more "real," what a couple of idiots. It has to hit hard too, the speakers are made to be blasted, so you end up buying bigger ones, and you wreck those too... until the house collapses. Now I'm waiting for the new Tool album, which should come out in DVD Audio. So far, Lateralus in an HDCD player (usually PAL 3 DVDs read in HDCD) is the best produced thing I've ever heard, followed by "Untouchables" by koRn, which may suck as songs but is produced like a god. Ah... and Reznor, of course Reznor, well.

He tricked me. I took it and found out I already had it. The thing is, I have 3 CD-Rs labeled "Ex Kraftwerk -1", 2, 3. I had no idea they were called Neu!. Honestly, I prefer the Third one, which (I just looked at the covers) has Neu! in yellow on a black background; the second one, the one with the 2 written in marker on that identical cover, feels a bit flat, and it's a great album. Next time, let us know who the members are, or you risk messing us up! (Just kidding, I'm the first to get confused with names and dates :D). Well, I like the original more, and at least I understood what the hell these damn two ex-Kraftwerk are called ;) One of these days, I'll read a biography about them :D

Arrived yesterday afternoon, heard it last night. It catches you off guard, really off guard. I imagined it differently, I don't know, more atmospheric, more like Popol Vuh, but I actually prefer it raw like this. It would be great to know exactly what he used to compose certain sounds, because things like that in '68 I think were really complicated to do. We could never fully appreciate this record; no matter how hard we try to erase everything we've heard from later productions, we could never understand the surprise of putting on a record like this in '68. We're already too saturated with various Aphex Twin to grasp it, and we just limit ourselves to imagining. Damn, 1968, fuck the frog. It really shakes you up. Beautiful straight Airone, really beautiful.

But your experiment is worth zzzzzzzz, if you’re in the same room as Josi_, you send him into trance-tenerona and he not only forgets who the White Stripes and Interpol are, but even worse in my opinion. Like after half an hour you shout TOM BARMAN! and he goes "Bar-who? Tom What?"... diabolical woman...
