Wes Anderson Il treno per Darjeeling
Voto:
seen on a plane in the original language. I might not have been very attentive, but it left me a bit puzzled. I found it rather "empty," charming actors aside. I should watch it again, but I don't really feel like it.
The Ahmad Jamal Trio The Awakening
Voto:
Goodness prevails, people; you’re making me develop acute diabetes. Everyone is complimenting each other, good job here, historical core there... are you serious? Or rather, are you real? I have the terrible doubt that I’m in some kind of Truman Show every time I stumble upon the reviews of Il Paolo. Oh, and the mention of the historical core of debaser is a reflection of a nation without historical memory, or rather, with a memory as long as the cookies in your browser.
XHOL Motherfucker GMBH & Co KG
Voto:
But who are the Xhol Caravan? Those from Electrip in '69? Oh right, you even wrote that at the beginning! Anyway, I'll read it properly later; for now, I'm getting the barbecue ready in the garden.
Battles Mirrored

saw them the other night at Estragon. Beautiful, tight, brief, never wordy except for the last song, less clinical than I expected from a stanier (or however the hell you spell it), a true cornerstone of the group (and with a facial expressiveness somewhere between "I'm going to tear this timpani apart" and "Come on John, hold on a little longer, the piece is almost finished, and you can rest for 30 seconds. I WANT A PRE-RETIREMENT BONUS FOR DRUMMERS!"). Too bad about the audience, divided between hyper-critical characters (one near me after each song said, "this is crap," or "this piece is the worst thing I've ever heard") and Spice Girl fans, all wearing the same (terrible) BTTLS t-shirt and hugging as if it were a Vasco concert. A demerit also for the HORRIBLE merchandising, two t-shirts that were a joke, one of which was an irregular square (red, sometimes yellow) on a green/red t-shirt background and whatever else. But definitely a band worth seeing live, no doubt.
Ridley Scott Un'ottima annata
Voto:
A movie with Russell Crowe cannot be "well acted"; it's like bringing two magnets together, the repulsion is immediate.

I totally agree with Muffin. After Alien and Blade Runner, he could have gone to be a broker too, and we definitely wouldn't have missed him. And about wine, check out Sideways, which, although not a masterpiece, has some interesting dialogues.
Vibracathedral Orchestra Tuning to the Rooster
Voto:
downloaded a couple of years ago, heard not much, but I remember it being very trippy, very Hash Jar Tempo, so in some ways quite boring. But being music for hipsters (a category I obviously belong to by divine decree) it requires a couple of nice ruminant stomachs to chew the cud for a long time for the desired effect.
The 13th Floor Elevators Easter Everywhere
Voto:
I wouldn't want to say something stupid, but the difference in the guitar riffs was also due to changes in the lineup, and the addition of guitarist Stacy Sutherland, a real ugly mug from another era, at least in the CD photo. But I think I'm just talking nonsense.
The 13th Floor Elevators Easter Everywhere
Voto:
Damn, I’ve been going around in circles about this review for ages. After reading it, Melissa, the album is almost better than the debut and "slip inside this house" is maybe the best track by Erickson and company.
The Last Shadow Puppets The Age of the Understatement
Voto:
that is the famous "Father Zubatazz," an original work by my friend Matteo. It might resemble an ecclesiastical variant of an inhabitant of the deep from Innsmouth (or at least that's how I imagine them). When I get home, I'll ask the great Cthulhu directly, through his idolized reproduction that towers near my stereo Ingrandisci questa immagine
