Ronnie Wood I Feel Like Playing

2 nov 10

Voto:

It would seem like a more than respectable job, without great pretensions, recorded out of a desire to play...

Paul Weller Wake Up the Nation

Alas, I know him little.

Giuseppe Genna Hitler

2 nov 10

Voto:

A book that impressed me greatly for its unconventionality: neither essay nor fictional biography. Hitler is a tragic figure who transforms into death everything he touches, but within this tragedy, there is also a strong grotesque element (I especially think of Hitler in his last days, in full physical and mental decline, with his uniform stained with food, or the descriptions of his monologues at the table during the Russian campaign, where he alternates between ramblings and flatulence). The ending, amidst the ruins of Berlin, with his victims ascending to the sky while he sinks into the underworld, devoured by Fenrir for eternity, makes Genna a prominent author in the mediocre landscape of his generation.

The Who Live at Leeds

A very long review, but it was worth it, to recreate the atmosphere that must have been there that night in '70 in Leeds. I’m not particularly fond of live albums either, but I believe this is one of those that you should own. One small note: I would start the golden age of rock in 1966.

Janet Jackson The Velvet Rope

Well done, but for me it's unbearable.

Nanni Moretti Palombella Rossa

30 oct 10

Voto:

Excellent reflection on a film where Moretti intertwines political crises and personal crises. I remember this movie especially for some scenes: in particular, the one where Moretti sings "E ti vengo a cercare," which seems emblematic to me, especially considering that the film was released during a historical period rich with events that would force many left-leaning individuals to seek new references.

Black Sabbath Vol 4

29 oct 10

Voto:

I only know the album partially: I really appreciate "Laguna Sunrise," a dreamy acoustic instrumental.

Lou Reed New York

29 oct 10

Voto:

No, unfortunately there will be no more Lou Reed. I would have liked to know more about the album.

Robert Plant Band Of Joy

28 oct 10

Voto:

Using a somewhat overused phrase, I say that Robert Plant with that voice can sing whatever he wants.

Dario Argento Il Cartaio

Voto:

I've seen everything by him up to "Tenebre" (they aired it in prime time, and every time it was a nightmare), but in my opinion, he should have stopped at "Profondo rosso." However, having Muccino die is a nice idea.
