In truth, it would be "addicted to vaginal skin" if the title you are referring to was Addicted to vaginal skin. Sorry, but I've spent years writing song titles by Cannibal everywhere (walls/desks/etc). But who remembers the visceral evisceration?

This album, and especially the second track, instantly takes me back to long walks in Tokyo, when I used to walk home from Shibuya. I saw them, I think, a couple of years earlier, outside my place; I think it was around 2001/2002. Occasionally, I listen to it again, but I’ve never heard anything else by them. But even just for that song and the memories attached, I've left a little piece of my heart with them.

"The 1960s began in the summer of 1956, ended in October 1973, and reached their peak just before dawn on July 1, 1967, during a performance by Tomorrow at the UFO Club in London." One of the best openings I've read in a music book.

So, I downloaded it lazily two days ago, and I had very little hope, but it turns out to be a nice album, ultra varied and with some great guitar work, just like before. However, I don’t understand its significance. I don't know, maybe it's my age, but even after seeing him live in 2012 and having a chat, I can't grasp his centrality, other than as a connecting figure in the scene. I mean, if there wasn’t a single track I remembered, and apart from the last three albums, I had followed the rest too. Same goes for his side projects, the Fuzz are glaring but say absolutely nothing to me, even though they would do exactly what I like. In fact, his protégés seem to be better than him (Wand and Mikal Cronin are definitely more skilled, at least on record). It also always seems to me that he publishes too much, prioritizing quantity over quality (a common disease throughout the scene, but for example, Dwyer has found an interesting path and is releasing excellent albums). But if I had been a decade younger when he released it, maybe he would be an idol for me, who knows.

You think that for me Italian rap ended around '93. And US rap in '95 with the rise of that garbage called gangsta. But I'm over forty, so this can't be my music, unless I want to act like a super young person, which would be even sadder than criticizing new rap (which I don't know much about, aside from Ghali, whom my niece listens to). However, I have a couple of questions: what the hell is trap? The former coach of Juve from the glorious '80s? I mean, how does it differ from traditional hip hop? Anyway, I was just thinking about why I can't, basically since forever, that is, since I listened to Run DMC in '88 when I was 12, get into the aesthetics of certain hip hop. Since it will be for my daughter what Grunge and hard rock were for me as a teenager, what bothers me are the messages they send, like: women = stupid chicks, long live money, and being incredibly convinced of oneself. All things I abhor, and I don't want them to become beliefs, even if just adolescent. Then maybe I’m just getting old, and my father would have thought the same about the dark aura of suicide and sadness in the music I listened to as a kid. And I don't want to say that the Italian scene is like this. I don't know it; I'm perhaps referring to earlier things from the American hip hop world. Open my eyes, you who know.

I saw that you commented on the review from 5 years ago, I imagined you had the shot ready. What can I say, as per my previous comment, I was never excited about the album and the band, despite what is said about them. However, it’s also true that I haven’t listened to it in about 10 years. Now I also remember where I discovered it, in a beautiful Mucchio Extra dedicated to garage and psychedelia (where I also read about the flying Dutch Group 1850).

The public figure Houllebecq is deliberately ambiguous, but as a writer, hats off. Both *The Elementary Particles* and *The Possibility of an Island* (and partly *Platform*) are beautiful books. In fact, about ten years ago I read this twice in a row (something I have only done with *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* by Douglas Adams). And in the end, even the film, despite its limitations, I liked. Bruno is an über character. He resembles all of us guys a bit, even if it’s sometimes hard to admit.

Bravo soto, I don’t know these, but they might please me. However, one often forgets that after the Acid Mothers, one of the longest-lived groups in the field are (I think they were) the Ghost of Masaki Batoh. Anyway, for the little I saw, the psych scene in Tokyo was quite small even in 2003/2004, revolving around the UFO Club in Koenji, partly managed by the Acid Mothers guys, or at least they organized concerts for the bands they produced through Captain Trip records. Damn, it feels like yesterday and yet it’s almost 14 years...

Well, hats off, especially for the quotes from two great books, for different reasons. Joe Boyd’s book is perhaps one of the most beautiful descriptions of the 60's in Britain I’ve ever read (along with the tribute to London by his friend and Guardian journalist Barry Miles, namely London Calling); while Ferrari's book (I presume this is the one, right? immagine:images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZJXpoEkuYk is perhaps the best compendium, analytically perfect, but very bigamist in style. A bit dull to read, unfortunately.

After years of intending to explore the electronic side of kraut, I finally gave it a try at Christmas. Result: I haven't listened to anything else but this record, Cluster II, and Kraftwerk for two weeks. Today I even received the vinyl of this wonder. Damn, I hadn’t even commented on this excellent review by my friend Lewis. Good times.
