Yes, yes, and in the meantime you came to this review to say that those who listen to them are this and that. Well, Dave, we understand each other. Think a bit more next time before writing.

but above all, are you a pseudo-alternative and middle-bourgeois when you listen to Faust, Zappa's "Help I'm a Rock" or "End of an Ear"?

As the fantastic vegetable (great nickname!) rightly said, the poetic essence behind the first Faust and the Residents' albums is the same; they have the same approach to making music, and the music is very similar. The Residents are among the bands that put the most thought into their albums; they aren't just random people strumming the first thing that comes to mind. But, of course, you can't know this.

Anyway, it’s now clear to everyone that you speak with knowledge of the subject: this little thing caught my eye. In the discussion about Guccini, you went on fire to prove that Guccini's albums were not up to par with De André's (I mentioned some albums from the '80s), only to write a little gem a few days later on the review of primiballi: "I don't really know Guccini well...I've listened to the first 4 albums, and aside from "Radici" which is a true masterpiece, I must admit that the other 3 previous ones are great albums." Lol, no comment. The king of glass climbing, you would say anything just to be right.

No, you don't care to make a controversy, but when do you ever? Saying that pseudo-alternatives and bourgeois people listen to him wasn't meant to incite controversy after Sanjuro mentioned them, no way. Can you tell me what makes you consider the first Faust a masterpiece and this one crap for "pseudo-alternatives"? And speaking of gratuity, since I know and appreciate Zappa a lot: can you tell me why you say nothing about a Zappa who is truly the king of free suites, while you find the Residents so disgusting? You're the usual. If you had just said that you don't like them, it would have been fine, but as usual, you had to come up with nonsensical theories and define who listens to this stuff (which, by the way, the absence of a logical thread in what the Residents do, one of the most conceptual groups ever, is pure madness). I almost forgot: Faust collaborated with Dalek (who is a great musician), but with the Residents it's not a collaboration; it's actually one of the Faust members who is part of the group.

Oh, have you fallen in love with us, or is your thing called obsession? My dear Dave, I never claimed to be alternative, and I’m, for better or worse, a bourgeois. Anyway, you make me crack up: didn’t you like Faust, Zappa, Beefheart, the music before '77?
No, because the Residents are the band that’s musically closest to Faust (in fact, one of the Faust is precisely one of the Residents, huh!), they are considered students of Zappa and the Mothers often played with them on their records, and Senada, one of their collaborators, is none other than Beefheart, or so they say. And I almost forgot, they’ve been around since '71. Your attempt to provoke has backfired once again (oh no, forgive me, it wasn’t a provocation against us but a careful analysis of the album, your input, right? Sorry, I’m always being cynical, you know how it is...), leaving you with quite the little embarrassment due to total inconsistency. Because the phrase: “for pseudo-alternatives and mediocre bourgeois” is just too beautiful, and you have to explain it to me. Yes, yes, the Residents: so why are the Rez okay and Faust, Beefheart, and Zappa not? And the Rez-Faust collaboration, is that for pseudo-alternatives or for geniuses like you? Not to mention a phrase like “Even cacophony or, as I read earlier, deconstructionism, have rules to follow, (and in fact there are, like in Zappa, Faust, Beefheart, Wyatt) canons to adhere to. And what the hell. There’s nothing. It’s a fine originality in and of itself,” which I would expect from a listener of fairly canonical music, not from a self-proclaimed fan of End of an Ear (an album for pseudo-alternatives and mediocre bourgeois too?). Make a clear decision, Dave. Come to terms with your brain. As they say, an ass's braying doesn’t reach the sky, even if the ass is sure of it. Come back when you stop seeing music as a challenge, because it’s getting you these little embarrassments: does it annoy you that much? How are you doing?

but above all, can we say "sti gran cazzi" or are we still in a protected zone?

I keep listening to it without getting tired. Probably not the whole album is on the same level, but there are a couple of tracks that are sublime, no half measures. An outstanding album.

Oh la la, I had missed the refinement of Socrates' joke! The album, well, never listened to it. My curiosity faded seven/eight reviews ago about it.

Burns, don’t take it personally, I don’t really care about other people’s mistakes, and it’s clear that no one is going to shoot you, and I’ve even heard Rubbia make mistakes with the subjunctive, but it’s not right. All this for the sake of precision.
