Oh no, my dear. The world turns this way because it has to, it has always been a horrible and wonderful place, so don’t exaggerate. There’s no need to dramatize this nonsense. Everyone is responsible for themselves, for the things they say. And making mistakes is normal, profoundly human. No one should be cruel, okay, but no one likes to be made a fool of. If you can’t even point out a blatant absurdity, like the assignment of different genders (which seems to be Poletti's specialty) without being accused of ignorance and told to study, and also be seen as "bad," then let us know. Put up a sign. I’ll keep my distance, as I have almost always done until now. Me and that little fox, Neneh. I assure you, she is anything but a “fox” (in the dismissive sense that the term implies). She is an extremely kind and sensitive creature. There you go, more Neneh and less foxes. Maybe we could give the world a little turn. Best regards.

Little mommy's monster, I don't know who you're referring to when you talk about nasty personal attacks. I only see a rather benign fuck-off, seemingly generated by an attitude of "know-it-all" rather than by the "review." I'm not seeing any harshness, on the contrary. What I do see are simple, concrete, relevant questions about something that interests many: the release of a triple CD by an author highly appreciated by these users. They all know perfectly well that here no one is a professional (what does that even have to do with it, by the way? Kindly explain that to me) and that they have every right to express doubts about a text. And about the fact that it's only stated in the comments, and only after explicit questions, that the person who wrote it hasn't even listened to the slightest part of the work in question. That said, I really couldn't care less: everyone can write whatever they want, and if a handful of snippets of Waits' songs are enough for Stronko, that's perfectly fine. Maybe mentioning that in the text wouldn't have been a bad idea. But here we are, in the end this is a matter of style, even before correctness. Finally: I was reading the comments, I noticed the chaos and felt like joking, and that's what I did. Finding you here explaining to us what's useful or harmful makes me smile a bit. Controversy is essential, unless it's a way to vent grudges. I really see no relevance between the things you say and the posts I read here. Well, there's that fuck-off. Just a little, to stand as a defense in complete absence of offenses. Polemical kisses from an old monster. From Papi.

Socrates, hadn’t I commented on it? Damn, yet it’s among the first ones I read, I believe. Well, I reread it the other day and I appreciated, apart from the usual Socratic treatment of the subject, the beginning and the conclusion. Not just the form, but the ideas. The one you reiterated in the post here: ugly when they dissolved, "right" seen now. And the one that, after all, many have drawn from that warehouse, few or none with the same dazzling freshness of results.

Oh, thank you Surfer. But, excuse my boldness, "which parts" are those?

I have it. A little fairy brought it to me. A triple horror. It's horrible, I've never heard such a cliché and boring album by Tom Jones. It doesn't sound like him!!!!

Hey, Viva Lì, are you trying to be clever? Do you want to teach me grammar? It's the others who need to brush up on Italian, right? You keep making the same mistake, changing the names, and what do you expect to prove? I pointed something out to you and explained why. Don’t insist, with your usual condescending tone. The one you always show but that becomes even more unbearable when you’re clearly wrong and have the audacity to tell others to review their Italian. Don’t insist, thanks.

Sorry to interrupt: I found the connection between the band's name and the board game (Danish and Norwegian) online. At this point, I would like to know what the hell it means and in which language. And what its origin is, of course :)

I'm listening to it, SurferKangaroo. It's as you say: a meeting between a certain "folk singer-songwriter" vibe and a jazz mood: gentle, unexpected, with a delicate voice carefully modulated. It evokes other things but manages to create a personal and intimate "atmosphere." An interesting figure. The mp3s on the site are full tracks and can be downloaded.

Long live Lì, the sly fox is you. Neneh Cherry is, perhaps, a vixen. A delightful vixen. When you hunt for information on Google, at least try to decipher it. It’s one of the rare times I intrude on your abundant comments (often stuffed with judgments as absolute as they are superficial), but I couldn’t stand such an oversight with such an adorable creature. Sorry.

Um... After bourguignon gallinacci and Santa Cristina, I came back for the sampli. Beautiful.
