Quentin Tarantino Kill Bill (Vol. 1 e 2)
Voto:
Damn, have you started to get passionate about the less impressive Tarantino? Or at least the beginning of that self-referential quoting that characterizes Tarantino's second phase. I guess it’s an age-related discussion; personally, I've always found it to be a huge oriental commercial signature during a time when Japanese pop culture was just beginning to catch on in the USA. From that point on, we enter a different Tarantino, who improves with his films but never quite reaches the heights of the first three. I have to say that after leaving the theater right after watching Pulp Fiction, I also started to get into a certain kind of cinema.
H.P. Lovecraft L'orrore di Lovecraft
Voto:
Curious, even though I think like @[Hetzer]. One of the few stories inspired by Lovecraft that I liked was published almost twenty years ago by a publishing house in my city, Pequod, and it was called "Le Rane di Koh-Samui"; it was halfway between a comedic tale and horror. The film made by some Italians about the story that circulated years ago regarding the discovery of a writing by Lovecraft in Venice, where it seemed he had visited the Veneto before writing The Call of Cthulhu and Shadow Over Innsmouth, was also very interesting. It's called Road To L., and you can find it on YouTube if I'm not mistaken.
AA. VV. I dischi del 2019 in rassegna

Cate Le Bon's album is pretty much garbage compared to the previous two, which are really beautiful, especially Crab Day. Deerhunter, being the band of the Hokkaido spider crab, eternal hate. And the latest is their usual post-Microcastle album or whatever it was called. In the end, the first one, which has almost nothing to do with the rest, is the only one I still listen to.

Although we often share little in terms of musical tastes, you always manage to intrigue and stimulate me, which is increasingly rare here on deb but also beyond, so just big love for you kloo! However, I had seen these on kexp at the beginning of the year and they piqued my interest quite a bit. After this review, I downloaded them and basically, I'm totally hooked for the summer. Young, raw yet refined, complicated but very approachable, cerebral yet ultimately melodic. In a word, genius. Let's hope they last. For now, hats off.

Sixthclone RECAP 1.0 // [要するに]

Although I’ve been a Nipponophile for life and study, this whole vaporwave thing has always gotten on my nerves. From how you describe it, it reminds me of another fleeting and horrible genre like hypnagogic pop from a decade ago, which still gives me significant mental nausea. Give me three names to change my mind. But know that just theorizing any nostalgia for the 80s makes me want to invade Poland. If we’re going into that territory, I’ll leave the competition before it even begins. Ah, a little anecdote from my Japanese life twenty years ago: speaking of breasts, tiny cans, and the 80s, in Japan, Colpo Grosso is an everlasting must-see; I discovered it thanks to a drunken salaryman who performed the whole dance from the namesake show in a crude nippo-Italian. また今度
The Flaming Lips King's Mouth

Well, I've been trying for a month, and nothing. I'm giving up; unfortunately, the only one of the recent albums that I liked is The Terror, a notch above everything they've done since it's basically just the two of them left (since the days of zaireeka). Unfortunately, I've never been able to get into Soft Bulletin, but especially Yoshimi. Plus, I have this obsession with the first 4/5 albums, so it was unlikely that I would like it.

Seen about a month ago by me in the Marche. What can I say, brilliant, the singer was very likable. Too bad about the metal guitarist who had nothing to do with the rest.
Ministry of Love Wide Awake and Dreaming

Interesting, I’ll have to look into it, even though the '80s and psychedelia are, for me, dichotomous terms (except for Spacemen 3 and "Lambent Flame" by Black Sun Ensemble; I don’t consider Red Temple Spirits psychedelic, with those sounds you can’t be psychedelic). For now, my absolute psychedelic album remains "The Piper" by Pink Floyd... I know it’s a cliché choice, but it’s like pussy, a great classic.
Fontaines D.C. Dogrel

Great album, at first it seemed like the usual revival wave/post-punk stuff that generally makes me feel a bit nauseous...but instead, it's a varied album. Fall, obviously, Cure (but only in one track in my opinion, namely The Lotts), honestly I don't find any psychedelia in it (especially that '80s stuff which is already hard to define as such), and in the end also some garage (Boys In The Better Land). In short, always kudos to Talbot and Idles for the recommendations, but especially for having brought some grit back to a UK scene that has been quite unexciting in recent years. At least half of the tracks are killer, hats off.
