Well done, I really like how you write. Then you mention one of my favorite books from my teenage years. Thinking back, I had to do a semiological and semiotic analysis of Murakami's original text at university (which, to be better marketed in Italy, was changed to "Tokyo Blues"; the original title is "Noruei no mori," or "Norwegian Wood" from the Beatles song), and I even managed to meet him in Tokyo because he came to the restaurant where I worked. It remains my favorite of Murakami's works, but his earlier production (which goes in a different direction) is also remarkable. Regarding the album, I had something by a Japanese girl in this genre, but it left me perpetually devoid of emotions. I believe the album was "From Tokyo to Narita" or something similar.

As mentioned elsewhere, aside from the almost shoegaze intro, the rest seemed absolutely average to me. In fact, in some cases, a bit irritating. Akuma no Uta and Amplifier, for example, are another planet. Just my personal opinion, mind you.

I think that by mediocrity, both I and Northern meant someone who sells that little they know in large quantities. The problem is not in mediocrity itself, but in elevating it to a principle of imitation, almost as a value to follow. Obviously, they don’t present it to you in these terms; everything is well-masked by a nearly revisionist demagoguery. I don’t want to say that there is a "high" culture and a "low" one; it’s just that often the absurd tendency (I repeat, I’m not referring to you in this context) not only to reevaluate marginal phenomena (which may hold some importance) but to assign them absolute value, and conversely to denigrate the importance of reading Eco instead of Faletti. Or rather, both. Your opening statement makes me believe that growing up reading Eco is a sign of a tedious person, out of touch with reality, to put it bluntly, "intellectualoid." I read The Name of the Rose at 15, and I can’t say I understood it at the time; I was more fascinated by it later in life because I had more tools to comprehend it. But the fact that I read it at a young age allowed me to seek those same interpretative tools, so it was a good gateway for my cultural growth. Yes, in short, targeting those who read or consume literature we’ll call "intellectualoid" is a dangerous dynamic. Because it tends to condemn culture, or rather acculturation. The problem isn’t with culture itself, but with how people use it. If it’s to create hierarchies between those who know and those who don’t, it’s obviously a mistake, but for every 10 people who misuse it, there are 50 who come out enriched. Well, sorry for the rambling, but I prefer not to see the social usefulness of knowing things, or rather, I inform myself or study for my sake, because I’m curious, because I feel it helps me understand what surrounds me, not because I can "engage in discussions of any kind without ever being in the dark about what is being talked about."

Damn, I missed this logic back then. And since I downloaded the latest one, I’ll take care of this now. Wow!

We often have similar tastes when it comes to new releases. I had my eye on these on Pitchfork, and I think I'll download them soon.

I didn’t read it all because it’s encyclopedic, and I usually find reviews that are too packed with useless details unappealing. The only note I can give you is to proofread; there are a couple of typos (I think) from typing too quickly, like “indizzi.”

I was annoyed last night and I take back my words, definitely not great. Do you know the solar anus? Those are not bad either, but I have to say that the ghosts have an edge. And hemicyclic also improves with listens, less fragmented than I remembered. I might just buy it.

Alright, now there's no need for you to reassess it in light of my criticisms; I probably listened to it at an inappropriate time and it threw me off a bit. And if you like it, I'm happy—of course!

I must say that my post-lunch syntax is improving, compliments.

I meant exercise in style because in my opinion (I admit I've only heard the piece a couple of times) they seem to be trying to mimic pieces like Aumgn or Peking O or Soup by Can. As in "if we want to, we can do it too." As a suite, it doesn't drive me crazy because it feels like a collage of distinct pieces, often juxtaposed more to impress than to express. Of course, everyone interprets suites in the way they prefer; for me, this type of suite that is too much of a collage leaves me a bit indifferent. Or maybe it’s just that I'm in a melodic period, so sometimes the narrative gets a bit too noisy for the moment. You’re really making me want to put it on CD...
