Verdena Live @ Estragon, Bologna (29-10-2022)

I am part of that generation and I hold Verdena close to my heart, but I don't agree with the general fatigue surrounding their proposal; it seems to me they are still quite appreciated by industry insiders. Of course, cases like this are classic examples of the question "are they aging badly or are we?", a question I ask myself 200 times a day on 200 different topics.

I was told it was a great blockbuster, but it didn’t impress me at all. But maybe I'm just quite sensitive when it comes to movies.

Come on, the return of the legends isn't bad at all, they always know how to deliver. I connect to the first comment from @[ZiOn] and yes, the stoner-doom-sludge-whatever isn't exactly the best example of a progressive genre; you love it for what it is, the attitude is what rules. And for this reason, you either love it or hate it. I love it, but I understand that it can seem boring to many.

I don't know this one, but I recently got Vitolo's "Children of Doom," which, as you might guess, is the story of Doom—truly a well-crafted book.

Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra Promises

A much-debated album, perhaps one of the most discussed in recent months. For some, it’s a masterpiece, for others, it’s a terrible flop: already, this is a great merit. For me, it’s a very pleasant listen; the recurring theme is well-crafted, catchy, and incredibly does not become tiresome (of course, one must always keep in mind that we are in the realm of somewhat minimalist ambient music, so a warned listener is a saved listener). The Pharaoh’s saxophone is, as usual, superb. I can't really evaluate the section with the predominance of the orchestra, perhaps it’s even an "extra" that isn’t so necessary. But be that as it may, it remains a good news in the record market.

Donald Byrd Ethiopian Knights

Byrd is one of those who, in the '70s, dived into funk with more enthusiasm (among the greats of the '60s), and for me, there's no problem at all, also because I really can't stand the radical chic debates anymore. He brought out great stuff, like the album in question.

Cannibal Corpse Violence Unimagined

I'm listening to it now and I have to say I remembered them being more violent than this, although I must admit I've never really listened to them; to me, the radical chic were the mainstream of death... get lost, I just want Mortician. p.s.= but didn't they have that clogged sink voice? I don't know, evidently my metal memories are hazy...

Tried to listen last week, but nothing, by now music like this often ends up getting on my nerves.

Lana Del Rey Chemtrails Over The Country Club

To be honest, I liked a couple of tracks from the album a couple of years ago; I think they were called The Greatest and Venice Bitch, but with her, apart from an impromptu song, I’m not really engaged. I tried with this new one yesterday, and by the third song, I gave up: tedious, it’s not my cup of tea.

Il Festival di Sanremo Sanremo 2021:la bolgia umana va in vacanza a Santa Marinella

15 mar 21

Voto:

I’ve seen quite a bit of it because I comment on it with some friends, to have a laugh and pass the time and clear my mind (and only Anubis knows how much I need it right now). After all, it’s Sanremo, so the lack of musical substance reigns supreme. For the rest, 90% of the Festival is Fiorello acting as the tour guide.
