Sanjuro

Poor Pasolini, who will be turning in his grave. I vote for disc 1. Italy is full of these mediocre musicians.

These days I'm listening to it at full blast.

In fact, in 20 years no one will listen to Nirvana anymore, so even Ramazzotti or Europe are indispensable, who has forgotten "The Final Countdown"? It's still heard all the time, or Welcome To The Jungle by the shitty Guns N' Roses... are those classics too? No. They are just commercial songs that come back like crap from a clogged toilet.

But Burroughs doing Nike ads or duetting with third-rate rappers? Burroughs knew what he was doing, because those collaborations were Burroughs blending in with Nirvana; he surely enjoyed the estranging effect of the combination. In any case, you’re pathetic: "If Burroughs does it or thinks it, it's the gospel ohhhh." But what does Burroughs represent for me? He’s one of my favorite writers, but I don’t glorify his shit. The best songs by Cobain are in Incesticide and the hidden tracks; the others didn’t make it to release (see Beans or other experiments that the record labels cut off). Cobain considered himself mediocre. Cobain, one of the greatest artists in music history, are you saying he was wrong to think that way about Cobain?

I must say that the album in question is pretty terrible, or at least one of the most useless things on the face of the earth. Or rather, it’s far too useful on a social level and far too useless on the level of "true art." Cobain was a clueless, ignorant guy who recycled two chords his whole life, and he didn’t do it with any particular skill. There have been others who elevated rock music to art; they kept it at a level of angry teenagers. But I don’t agree with the idea of "Knowing How to Sing" or "Knowing How to Play." The greatest revolutions have dismantled the prevailing concept of "Knowing" to create new ones. Just think of Luigi Russolo, who in 1913 invented a machine called "Intonarumori," truly a dinosaur of the greatest achievement of the 20th century: Noise. There are bold futurist experiments, piano parts underscored by a dull hum or onomatopoeic vocal experiments that have never been matched in music (perhaps only by Meredith Monk and a few others). To objectify "knowledge" is nonsense; you can say that for conservatory musicians certain criteria apply, but for avant-garde artists, different ones apply, for rock ‘n’ roll musicians even more different ones, for folk musicians yet others, and so on. But objective knowledge doesn’t exist; there are only opposing viewpoints and concepts of music. I, for example, don’t agree on knowledge, and in any case, if we all "knew," music would be dead. "If we all knew music, it would be dead."

A GNOATO: What terrifying ignorance. "Music is the art of sound, not the art of noise." Just think that most of the musical revolutions of the 20th century have to do with cacophony, starting from Russolo to Stockhausen, the VU, Borbetomagus, and many others. Music is noise in any case, always; it’s just that habit has redefined noise into melody, but music is born as noise. "Knowing how to sing" what a bore. I give a 2 to Nirvana, the best of the worst, the best of those who wear Converse and have a third-grade education.

"they managed to create a different sound, but not a new one." After this gem, you deserve another 1.

Always better than that crap from Radiohead. Album rating 2.5 (Rocket for kids who wear All Stars). Shoddy review, Nirvana superior to the Pixies, is like saying Elvis comes from Little Tony. Or like saying that missionary style is avant-garde.

But why have we ever spoken in private? You flea at the vomit. Sanjuro hasn't returned because I'm not the same as I was 3 months ago, my old skin hasn't returned, the new Sanjuro has arrived. The god. You pathetic compiler of music criticism will never reach the greatness of yours truly.

Yeah, but who the hell cares if they're pissing in each other's faces or throwing up? GG Allin did it, and so did many others, with definitely more significant outcomes. This is just a revival without a spine, a group of immature kids the world would gladly do without. It's no coincidence that the Black Lips' proposal comes from Psychopompe, yet another useless human being. Another one of his pathetic little assignments without any backbone, what a sad individual this Psychopompe is.
