I actually have another one from Sunspots, whose quality/price ratio (of the packaging, mind you) is outrageously off, especially since it sounds quite crap. From Charly, I have Easter Everywhere. I think yours is far better than mine.

Let's say I can broadly agree with Lewis, even though I still like their music up to Vitalogy. No Code makes me a bit less enthusiastic, to put it mildly, and don't get me started on Yield. In fact, after the '96 concert (which was already significantly less impressive than the '93 one), I stopped listening to them for years, kind of like Soundgarden in '95. But funny enough, these days I'm re-listening to all the grunge stuff I have.

I come further, can I? The group seems to be beyond (a way) to please me, but beyond Sun Ra what will there be? Primordial chaos?

Congratulations, little mouse, the good Raveri would be proud of such precision! And on top of that, you're making me remember terms I had obliterated from my brain. I remembered the non-coincidence between Hinayana and Theravada, but I hadn't explored the rest. But one question: are they Theravada in Thailand? Damn, I was there too, between a trip to Japan and another, but I was mostly a tourist and didn’t bother to ask which Buddhist school was the most popular. What you're telling me about J-rock is even worse, because often it’s purely and simply the result of an orientalist approach. In Japan, millions of music scenes coexist; those who consider J-rock a typically indigenous Japanese expression are getting terribly misled. Not to mention visual kei, a fashion and aesthetic code revived now as a throwback to the late '80s. Damn, there are millions of notable groups in Japan, like the one I know, Dodekishi Dozaemon(zu), but I’m not sure because the boys often change their names. Their website: link rotto

On Pitchfork or popmatters.com, they reviewed the DVD about his story, which also seems interesting. Here’s a nice interview with Tommy Hall: Austin News, Events, Restaurants, Music - The Austin Chronicle

It's strange that you consider "You're gonna miss me" freak blues; it's usually regarded as THE quintessential garage piece, so much so that it was placed as the opening track on the first Nuggets. And as far as I know, Erickson hadn’t broken any laws; back then it was very easy to end up in a mental institution if they caught you using drugs. Oh well, maybe you meant the use of LSD. @realramona: and so I guess you don’t like the 13th, the jug often appears in the tracks.

I'm rusty, but I thought both terms could be used, Hinayan and Theravada, though I don't remember a thing about Sanskrit so I can't pinpoint any potential conceptual error in the term. Well, you're giving me an interesting review, especially since I've lost all the books from the three philosophy exams I took. @rebelde: the problem is that the generalized sociopathy of Japanese students is not "YET" that way; it's a phenomenon that's been around for about ten years, before they were just like anyone else. So it can only get worse. But at least the wave of "I study Japanese because I get off on GTO" seems to be fading (I hope). Sorry, I was a manga enthusiast until '95, and as soon as I started university I had the bad luck of talking to a seriously obsessed person and almost lost my mind, not to mention immediately stopping the purchase of any kind of manga. Over time, I've come to terms with this old passion and have revisited it, but only with anime. It's true that we’re all a bit of a mess, no doubt; the problem is that the most toxic characters in the Japanese scene take pride in their nerdiness, becoming just as pretentious as those who consider themselves cool. I don't know, maybe it's because I threatened many of them with death in the library so they ended up avoiding me. I think it was tough for them to know I was one of the few in the religious philosophy course who could actually get a thesis accepted on anime and pop culture. Well, I might be boasting a bit too much, sorry.

Good job mentioning the relativizing characteristics of Buddhism, its true strength. Just think about the fact that there are no apocryphal writings, or the evolution/adaptation from Hinayana to Mahayana. Forget the monotheisms, people! Well, the comparison may not fit perfectly, but if we talk broadly about beliefs, it makes sense.

Imagine, the guy started with me in '95 and by the time I graduated (March 2003) no one still wanted to let him graduate. I remember, poor thing, some truly embarrassing moments with dear Massimo Raveri. Among the people from the university world that I still enjoy visiting are Toshio (my advisor and friend) and his wife Marcella. I always greet Raveri too, because if it weren't for him (for better or for worse) I wouldn't have developed a passion for studying. I would say that maybe we can continue the discussion at most through private messages, otherwise people will get angry.

Ah, but you little rat study in Venice? How old are you? Maybe I’ve seen you at the office... I hope you’re not part of the infected progeny of idiots like Lord Yupa or similar mongoloids?....
