I hate the stress of the metropolis, but I'm much more afraid of the silence of the countryside, the farming culture (?) with its attached agricultural mentality. Having lived in a megacity like Tokyo (which, for all its size, I think is less stressful than Rome), I don't consider any Italian city, at least in terms of the volume of people on the street, a "metropolis." The rhythms of Milan are Jamaican by comparison. The point is that in a large city in Italy, for reasons of surreal traffic or lack of urban planning, you stress twice as much as in an identical foreign city. Of course, it also depends on what you do to make a living. Venice is a village, not a city, but I consider it something unique in the world, and I'm not talking about how it is built or the monuments; it's really the life that is led there that becomes detached from reality. It's both the greatest virtue and the worst flaw of a city that I have hated and loved so much. Anyway, I don't think I could live in a city without a sea; I was born by the sea, it gives me boundaries and at the same time is an open window to the horizon.

I agree with both of Surfer's comments, but I don't have real knowledge of the American situation; I only have discussions relayed to me by American friends or foreigners living there. I'm also not an ambitious jerk—in fact, I would slaughter them all. Just think, I don't want a pet because I can't stand the idea of training it and telling it "you can't pee in the living room" and similar crap.

Ah, congratulations Airone, I almost forgot. But when will you start writing a couple of lines again? I’m listening to a lot of new psychedelic stuff, which in comparison seems like candy for diabetics. Maybe La Otracina will appeal to you, very Guru Guru and totally instrumental. Oh, also Giant Brain isn’t bad, very Neu!

oh shit I downloaded it months and months ago, but every time I barely manage to get halfway through. It irritates me just like him. And to think I've knocked down plenty of bricks, but this one annoys me monstrously. Excuse me.

let it go that one is enough, let’s not start churning out ultra duplicates please!! Anyway, the discussion above is nice, it really seems like a little mental hygiene department. Anyway, my Kraut period has been a bit interrupted, after acquiring in a single day Lord Krishna Von Goloka by Sergius Golowin and 7Up by Ashra Tempel with Timothy Leary. I realized that for a while I needed to take it easy, especially my neurons needed some rest.

Damn, dude, who had noticed that you had already done two records of this nice character. I got the last Prayer Of Death last Christmas, and I've wanted to write a few lines about it for a while, but inspiration has been lacking. I imagine you probably won’t be around anymore... do you have a MySpace site?

I don't know, I liked it anyway, but it's definitely not a documentary to be taken literally, meaning it's not a "report" style reportage. In the end, those aren't its goals, so a serious critique on this point would be a bit childish. However, I notice that Moore is either very average American, or he's quite crafty (meaning he makes friends with average Americans). In any case, it's better that it exists and has visibility than not having it at all.

finally got the original during the Summer Jamboree in Senigallia from those fritz of Billy Bones (nice little shop in Latina). What can I say, I wasn't in a garage phase, but this record is a bomb (I hope it doesn’t explode in my ass)! Good times when the average quality of the recs was high and we only talked about music.

I completely agree with the reviewer, Moore doesn’t get on my nerves (if only for Bowling for Columbine, still his best work to date, without the pathetic little theatrical bits that pull at the heartstrings like in this and Fahrenheit, and given the more limited, better documented, and engaging field of analysis) but sometimes his crudeness drives me up the wall. I also understand that this is a product for American use and consumption, aimed rightly at making American citizens angry about their surreal healthcare conditions. But the part about Guantanamo lost Moore a lot of points: completely far-fetched, something out of "Italia Sul Due" or a League rally. I mean he completely misses the point, seeing that there are 500 random guys in Guantanamo captured three years ago and not immeasurable Lords of Evil....truly a lapse in style in my opinion, or the fall of a mask. Not to mention this pathetic emphasis on 9/11, as if it were a global mourning, and yet he had rightly said before that the bombings in London during World War II were something else entirely. Nothing to say about the documentary's aims, but the methods sometimes leave a bit to be desired (interviewing 7 Americans in Paris isn’t enough to really understand how things are going). And anyway, we're in second place in the world, despite all the episodes of bad healthcare, bribery, green codes for people with brain hemorrhages, and so on. We can complain, but others are definitely worse off.

Look, Sanj, I used to share some of your posts and reviews, but let me tell you one thing: YOU'RE NOT OKAY. I mean, this is a site that (unfortunately) triggers obsessive-compulsive monomanias in people, but THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WAKE UP!!! You're definitely sinking lower; you’re just like the people you criticize. Go fuck yourselves, egocentric monomaniacs, whether it’s you or anyone else.
