Nice memories Bring It On!! summer '98 at the end, dinners on the beach, no women and lots of new music (the Air especially and these Gomez). After Liquid Skin though, I lost them along the way.

@Giubbo: I buy Rumore because during a period of social blackout, the only way to stay somewhat informed was to buy a magazine, so I chose Rumore...a) because I used to read the issues from the '90s through a university friend b) because at the time Il Mucchio had become bi-monthly and out of 100 pages, 20 were about music and the rest were not, I didn't trust Blow Up (back then it was young and hard to find in my area) and Rockerilla seemed too simplistic. Today I realize that Rumore is terrible (I've often emailed good old Sorge about the fact that they could get their act together and stop making covers for almost two years now, only featuring fake and hyper-promoted bands - see lately Horrors, Verdena, Bloc Party, and similar nonsense), and in fact, I use it a bit like a postal catalog for my mother: a catalog for download/purchase. I know who to trust, I don't give a damn about the others. Sorge sometimes spouts nonsense straight out of a geriatric ward, but now and then he gets it right (he's introduced me to many old and new bands in the Psych scene); Vittore Baroni is definitely the best when it comes to musical culture and choices. Pomini is not bad, but in general, I never go by trust. Alberto Campo is definitely irritating, both in terms of musical tastes and recent ratings (he gave 10/10 to the latest LCD, which I also like, but to call it a masterpiece as soon as it was released seems like a huge load of nonsense to me). The few issues of Blow Up struck me as very snobbish, a paper version of wannabe followers, especially in glorifying only difficult-to-listen-to records. Unfortunately, there must and can be a middle ground between calling Bloc Party the record of the month and glorifying every crap produced by Animal Collective. My lawyer advises me to try Rockerilla, maybe I will.

I've heard really bad things about it, and anyway I've never been a true fan. I remember Inexpression when it came out; it made me nervous just seeing it. Then it fascinated me for a while. Melody of a Certain still remains the one I know best. However, Misery already depressed me more than allowed, so I think I'll avoid this one....

Since '95 they haven't produced a decent album????? What do we have to listen to!!!! A spokesperson for the youth generation back then??? Oh, take it easy with the words. I was 16 at the time and this stuff didn't represent me at all. And above all, these two idiots had a Brianzacomanda accent that just for that reason really got on my nerves. A "deca" was only said in those parts. If you said it in my area, you'd get a kick in the butt (rightly so, I add). Sorry, but you’re the typical case I was writing about. That is, these guys remind you of your childhood (at the time of the first album you were 5 years old, am I wrong?). Take away the nostalgic part of the music and face the harsh reality: shit is shit, you can paint it gold but it remains shit.

Interesting comment from tiny above. In fact, the Bible (or rather the collage found in all bookstores) is full of translation errors, more often in the Old Testament, where nuances and entire words were lost in the transition from Aramaic to Greek. The most impressive example is the famous phrase about the camel and the eye of the needle. In reality, it wasn't a camel (obviously, because it wouldn't have made sense), but rather a rope. Unfortunately, the Aramaic word for rope was similar to the Greek word for camel. Hence the misunderstanding. There are also major errors in Genesis; God did not create Adam from dust but created him and cast him into the dust. I should look for my notes on Biblical Anthropology, a nice course, taken in Cultural Heritage Conservation right in Venice. Happy.

I wanted to say, of course, "And then from a city whose only musical output over the centuries has been Via Verdi and Yuppie Flu, what can you expect?"

I remember it mainly because while they were filming, the tourism assessors of Ancona (where I live and where the movie is set) boasted about Moretti's choice, which would give the city indirect tourist publicity. Anyone who has seen the film, I think, would have kissed Andreotti's hump better or given a kiss to that slimy De Michelis just to avoid being forced to live in that sad city. At least that's how Moretti portrays it. The truth lies in between: it's the Italian province; it gives you more space than a pseudo big city, but there's not much to do, aside from beautiful beaches in summer. And what about a city whose only musical offspring over the centuries are the Via Verdi and Yuppie Flu?

It was just an observation; I also used to get worked up (and still do) during the initial periods here. Then you either let it go or engage when you have time and see it for what it is: a pastime.
