@RockAntologya: Friendship is something that is usually perceived as established between two people. This doesn't seem to be the case here, nor has anything similar ever been confirmed regarding things that only you claim in this regard. Furthermore, with or without your badges, your chatter, and your distorted and often incomprehensible concepts, you can comfortably keep spreading whatever you like. I just think that there are ways and ways to “shoot” ideas. As for the fools around, there's no shortage of choices, and frankly, I believe I have better things to do than waste more time with you. Regarding the positive comments from others: I'm glad for you, but usually, after hearing others' opinions and/or reading other people's views, I still believe I'm free to reach debatable, yet personal conclusions. I still think for myself, and these days, that seems to be a rare commodity. PS: If, as you confirm, comments on your reviews are useless and senseless, then what the hell are you writing them for? Do you have minimal comprehension problems regarding the meaning of things? Good luck.

I was left speechless. For a while now, the author of this post has been amusing himself to no end with absurd (and willfully ignorant in grammatical and syntactical terms) comments, mostly useless and annoying on other posts I (and others) have made on Debaser. His approach is clearly rooted in nonsense and open mockery. (One should check his comments in question). One would thus have the impression, or at least I presumed, that such an attitude was supported by a culture or superior vision in terms of choices and tastes. Instead, I find this heavy, endless, and garrulous review written with a milk bucket in one hand and sausages and whiskey in the other, in the style of a know-it-all who even dares to pontificate. That said, of course, the beauty of CCR’s sound remains for the band’s lovers. The tone and character of the musical (and not only those) considerations are alarmingly poor, and the conclusions are shockingly shallow. This debut, amidst the current and already concerning Debaserian scene (just look at the uproar over the post about "I Promessi sposi" as an example), is even more alarming. Maybe, RockAntologya, share with us your review of "Smile" by Brian Wilson. Let’s see how you’ll charm us. It should, it seems, be material for you; And for us who now, impatiently, hang on your knowledgeable hand. Come on, give us another hundred lines.

I note that the period of greatest affection for Martyn's works coincides with mine, and it is indeed the most fervently creative, experimental, and urgent. I would also add the splendid "Inside/Out," which, along with the titles you mentioned (even now "Solid Air" gives me chills), forms a trilogy that I would describe as magical. Martyn in person was often quite drunk, and I can only imagine the grotesque consequences. Cockburn, however, was not. I just hope that LaMontagne stays this "pure." It has been, so far, a delightful and unexpected discovery.

Just to know, Supersoul, which works of John Martyn do you hold closest to your heart? And, even though it’s not important, have you ever seen him live? And Bruce Cockburn? :)

A comment that was missed...

Ah, hi Hal! I haven't read you in ages. Great pleasure.

Honestly, I don't know if the much-discussed adjective "derivative" should be central to the discussion of the issue. Nor do I believe that the "Recodification of elements" is necessary. However, I reiterate that this is a good, indeed, excellent piece of work. If someone wants to see more in it and "sanctify" it, it will mean that the strings of that person's heart have been touched more deeply. And that is still very beautiful. Personally, I "vibrate" more for other things, without wanting to downplay LaMontagne, quite the opposite.

Sorry Terry: "pia" or "già" promised? In the latter case, I foresee truly worrying complications in the harem. After the altar, of course :D

Well, in my opinion, we are all somewhat young promises here. A representation of the fate of humankind.

Terry, thanks for the clarification. Ah, blessed ambiguity...:DD. I’ll try to take life with more simmenthal now. @Pi-airot: and if I or someone else said "no!" you wouldn't do it?
