Altamont Our Darling
Voto:
that message is left by the good Sonny, a real son of a bitch from the classics, who has even survived throat cancer (a reminder that nature is right-wing), who, completely high, tries to justify the actions of the hell's, saying that if someone steps on their bike it's like hitting the most precious thing they have, so they’ll tear you apart. If you get a chance, read this little book; it's 9 euros from Baldini and Castoldi. There's also a moment when, after the last scuffle where they kill Meredith Hunter, Sonny says he approached Keith Richards, who said he wanted to leave, and with a gun pointed at his ribs, he, let's say, "dissuaded" him and forced him to play.
Le Stelle Di Mario Schifano Dedicato A...
Voto:
Damn Lewis, I was looking for something by Mario Schifano, I have a track on a compilation from my girlfriend that’s a blast, but the title doesn’t seem to be among those on this album. Very psychedelic, with backward tapes and all that stuff. Since it’s Akarma it should be around 10 euros...order it, order it right away.
CCCP Socialismo E Barbarie
Voto:
fabulous album like the first one and affinities and divergences, the gap between the cheap free noise of stati di agitazione and the bad luck of libera me domine remains brilliant. A typical example of how it’s enough to have substance, and even with four clumsy chords, you can produce music rich in meaning. And above all, full of an irony that many still fail to grasp, relegating them as "just" a political group. I would define them as a "cultural" group, equally attentive to the past, as well as especially to the present of the '80s, with verbal and musical insights that project well beyond the '80s. Many obviously won't agree with me, but I love them passionately.

And to think that the Hell's Angels often provided security for Grateful Dead concerts; Jerry Garcia was a friend of theirs. The "scazzo" with the Jeffersons ended with Marty Balin being knocked out by a couple of punches. Anyway, the film is quite unsettling, it effectively captures the panic created.

Just to mention, the film about Altamont exists, it's called Gimme Shelter. And if you're up for it, read the biography of Sonny Barger, the founder of the Hell's, it offers a nice portrait of Jagger and the gang.
SubArachnoid Space Almost Invisible
Voto:
beautiful very beautiful to move to the left absolutely. In Japan, I found many used records by subarachnoid space, but they always intimidated me. I downloaded an album, but it was excessively lacking in songs, so I deleted it; perhaps I'll try again.
The Rolling Stones Their Satanic Majesties Request
Voto:
I've had it for a long time, Lewis, but it also feels like a tailing operation to the psychedelic carriage to me. However, since the authors are not four preadolescents but people with balls, the result is good. A bit cumbersome at times, but more than anything, not having led to a shift in sound, it remains somewhat like a white fly in their discography, both previous and subsequent. One note: I bought Between the Buttons, which I don't know who suggested to me as psychedelic, but not too much, and I was quite disappointed... well, the usual Rolling Stones album inferior to Aftermath and way purer than this one, almost contemporary. Who could it have been? Did I just make it up?
June Of '44 Four Great Points
Voto:
This has been one of the most hated and presumptuous albums in music history for years, at least for me. Ten years ago, I had a real beef with these June of '44, almost personally. If anyone at university tried to put it on, it was impossible to hear because I launched into insults a priori. It was more about looking cool to have this record, in my eyes. In the end, I'm changing my mind; I downloaded it and I'm finally listening to it without blinders, since it's no longer cool to listen to them. And I must say, I have memories of a completely different album, much more boring. Well, in ten years, listens accumulate, so naturally, ears get used to it, but I didn't remember it at all, which shows I had some strong prejudices. The ones that remain are for stuff like Van Pelt or Bedhead... I don't know if historians would classify the latter as post-rock. By the way, the exchange of opinions above is monstrously dry, like much of post-rock, so please don't take it the wrong way; it's a formally nice exchange but lacking in content, like much post-rock. Okay, I said it; back to work.
Caustic Resin The Medicine Is All Gone

You sparked my genuine curiosity and tonight I treated myself to it... I’ll give it a listen this evening.
X-Japan Art of Life
Voto:
I indeed imagined you were studying Eastern languages... just like I did. Venice? Anyway, re-reading my previous post, it was a bit too bitter, and it wasn't directed at you. It's just that the bile I had during university comes back to me, because aside from a few sane minds, the rest of the people only talked about manga, anime, and J-pop. Not because they liked it, but because it was very much an otaku youth thing, or tatami-style, call it whatever you want. I still can't explain to myself why Japan produces such a large horde of monomaniacs. And, according to what my former supervisor tells me, the number is increasing exponentially. I don't know, maybe I'm just being snobbish.
