How long have I been listening to Luis Prima! Thank you, Vivis, for bringing it back to my mind with such a fluid and enjoyable page (when, towards the end, "t'incanti un'altra volta," it's so beautiful... - Vivis, Ecioso, Bubi: how come you all have this collection?

It may be necessary to clarify, in order to avoid unfortunate misunderstandings, that I might be wrong and you may be right, Babel, and that my post had no polemical intentions. Regards.

Babel, it seems you've got nothing right. You may not like the construction of the sentence, but there isn't any syntactical error. I'm afraid the text might have turned out incomprehensible, yes, but to you... The examples you provide refer to correct sentences, even if constructed in somewhat unusual ways. - "offrirà .... albergo ai nostri cuori": it's perfect (the phrase "dei nostri cuori" is something else, simply. And in this case it would have been wrong: "ogìffrirà ...albergo dei nostri cuori?") - Then: yes, it’s the green metaphor of the game of life that allows.... to birth a smile. I would have used a different verb instead of "lasciare" (matter of taste) but I don't see an error. What you intended to say is perhaps an interesting question, but it falls outside your note which tends to find non-existent errors. - And then: yes, the infinitive verb there makes sense, why not? Are you sure you understood what you read? I somewhat agree about the iteration of "nella" towards the end of the page: again, though, it's a matter of taste, there’s no syntactical error. In short, perhaps a less hasty reading of the text will allow you to "read" the sentences in question differently and, even without appreciating them (as it seems to imply), verify their correct construction. - Personally, to some extent, I endorse Lostinspace's observations. Branduardi, since then (19/6/2006) I haven't listened to it again...

Why has it duplicated? It must be a Moric effect...

Hey, Ninetta, what a reaction. Are you exaggerating with the coke or do you really have a bit of a nervous character? Anyway, I have no certainty, my dear, especially not about sexual identity. So maybe you can try with the features, but when it comes to identity, it's a waste of time. And I repeat: I can't believe you're so naive as to think that for Fabrizio it was your "first gay adventure." But go ahead, treat me poorly, say whatever you want: with those flappers, you can say what you like...

Thank you, Airone, but I have all the albums you mentioned because I've been delving into those territories for a while now... (between Loscil's excellent Submers and the latest one, I prefer the latter, even though it's less "dynamic"). Since you've entered that "sound environment," if any names or titles come to mind, I might just give you a shout. A very interesting album, although different from the ones mentioned, is the latest from Tied and Tickled Trio, "Aelita." In case you haven't heard it, I've put it here: Simple File Sharing and Storage. If I upload any others that I think you might like, I’ll let you know. Have a great day.

So I believe that the nice little curly-haired one has made an obvious play on words with the name of the character from that phenomenal book by Melville. A play on words that you will understand better after reading the book: if you read Baricco and don’t know that book by Melville, you’re doing yourself a disservice! :)) By the way, the curly-haired one adores Bartleby: I have quite a few reservations about his work, but our opinions on great books were veeeery similar (they were, because I don’t know if he has maintained them, 20 years later..) With a nickname like yours, you have to read Bartleby, come on. Ciau

Thank you for your patience in responding. My comment wasn’t a criticism of the page, but an observation. - Yes, but your nickname? Is it from Melville, Bartleby the Scrivener? Instead of "I would prefer not to," has it exploded into a boom?

Yes, Azzo, I have all the vinyls too. But I find the hypothesis you propose regarding flea markets and turntables rather unlikely: the CD release for records like these is an opportunity for those who don't know them and don’t have our venerable age. For example, while looking for a CD of John Cale's "Music for a New Society" (I only have the vinyl) to extract samples (I've always included them, actually, I was thinking of including them here too, and as soon as I have time, I’ll do it) I found out that it’s out of print: it seemed absurd to me, given all the junk they reissue. That’s why I find certain reissues necessary and desirable (also for the prestige of a catalog, by the way). P.S. what was it that you said anyway?
