Well done, you hit the mark! It seems that everything started in '79, what a bunch of brainless fools. Every once in a while, I throw some jabs at them, but unfortunately, some are truly blind, pretending to be Soviet snipers in Leningrad! When I see nonsense from so-called experts, coming from people who barely reach 22 years of age, my hands itch. In this, I mean they mirror the approach of Blow Up, where every damn piece of music has its own dignity (and here we agree) and therefore deserves to be legitimized and glamorized (but no, here I really disagree; in my opinion, there are limits, some choices are pure revisionism, disguised as a humanism of records... I’d like to see them at home playing Like a Virgin and rambling with their friends... but fuck off!).

In truth, I didn’t want to bring everything back to the Beatles; there are very few connections here. My intention was a provocation, especially since the Beatles often get criticized for using "simple" melodies (for some, simplistic), while other bands that sometimes use similarly "simple" arrangements and melodies are exalted (some examples from this album are objectively filled with melodies and arrangements that are not complex, which isn’t a bad thing at all; I would give anything to write Nature's Way!!!). The problem lies in the overexposure given to the Beatles (because, indeed, they are a monstrous cultural phenomenon, as well as strictly cultural, despite what Pierino writes), the result of which has been an overwhelming accumulation of listens and a consequent general weariness, especially since it seemed that they were the only ones doing pop in the '60s (and we all know that's not true). However, we must still try (I’m not referring to you, Danver, neither here nor above) not to criticize the big names a priori, only to then maybe glorify other bands just because they’re lesser-known and “therefore” cooler. Because that’s often what happens (I find myself doing it too). For example, the United States of America are rightly considered small heroes of the '60s and their self-titled album is a beautiful record, but for instance, it contains a plagiarism (even admitted by Bird himself) of Eleanor Rigby in Stranded in Time. So, in the end, the important thing is not to over-glorify or overly denigrate a group like the Beatles, trying to contextualize them, giving them both credit and blame, and not viewing them absolutistically as one or the other. Just as it should be done for lesser groups like the USA, right? Oh, and by the way, Danver, I’m absolutely not Beatle-centric; I have more Rolling Stones albums than Beatles ones at home! Although I've never understood why people so excessively praise the Stones, but that would be a discussion too long...

Oh, are you kidding? You can advertise as much as you want in here, OR the Mucchio, I at least don’t see it as a US vs THEM. I certainly don’t agree with their vision of music much, especially the current one, and a lot of the forum users annoy me (especially the sycophants of Blow Uo).

Hey Katarrys, do you always feel the need to remind us that you're a poor fool? We're all well aware of it; we let you graze peacefully, without showering you with insults as would be appropriate, so why do you come to provoke? Unsolicited advice: take a plane from the nearest airport to you (since as you write, "it's easier than driving a car"... as if it were a train), and maybe invite that fine sociologist, Psycroptic, and go fuck yourselves (a place terribly close to Arcore).

Alright, I’ve written in a terrible and somewhat nonsensical Italian, as by now, through endless theses and antitheses, the overall vision of the matter has become clouded and increasingly unclear (if there ever was one).

I agree with Bartle, I don't see the usefulness unless you're trying to bring something personal into the analysis... I'd throw in a pair of underwear, the nail clipper, and the iPod. In truth, I'm here to say three things: 1) The book is super slow but also really cool 2) The movie marked my childhood, watched and rewatched many times 3) The singer Moby is named that because he is a distant descendant of Melville (now you'll tell me you all knew that...)

At this point, I’m downloading it. The matter is definitely hairy; I’ve always been one who never believed what was passed off as truth, whether true or not, I’ve always tried to look around the corner and see things from different perspectives. In short, a contrarian. However, one must admit that there are significant gaps in the entire 9/11 affair, both prior to and following the events... and there's always one that comes to mind, heard live on TV that afternoon on Rai. If you remember, the fourth plane remained in the air for a while, and they said (and damn it, I have the memory of an elephant and I was trying to imprint in my mind what was being said at that moment) that "the aviation had scrambled F-16s to take down the plane" and I remember my friends and I commented (actually amidst a chorus of "You deserve it"): "In the end, it’s the only thing to do." Then after a couple of hours, the story about the passengers rebelling started to emerge. Now, I know they made a movie about the calls made by the passengers, but that has never sat right with me; maybe they were just bullshit news spread in the heat of the moment, but these were things said and repeated for at least an hour... it has always seemed more plausible to me that the F-16s shot it down rather than rebellion aboard. Especially in light of how this was used for propaganda purposes (in war, every nation needs heroes...)

instead it’s Coupland’s only bed, but honestly, since it’s been like 13/14 years, I don’t know what the hell I should write.....I only remember it didn’t leave me astounded, I liked it but it was quickly overshadowed by Brett Easton Ellis in the rankings of preferences (and descriptions) of the early '90s.

Damn it, I wanted to share my thoughts on this album, but in the end, I still haven't managed to listen to it. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the latest Crippled Black Phoenix!

They were telling me about it a while ago, I’ll have to get it and borrow it from someone (considering the prices, buying the series is out of the question!). However, at least in the anime, I don't find the character design to be very innovative.
