"his songs spoke of hookups and drinks between the hookups" quote. A tremendous, incredibly lazy guy. Laziness from Southeast Asia where he grew up. Along with his friend Syd Barrett, a "crazy lazy diamond." His daughter Galen is very talented.

In 1985, the New Wave had been over for at least a good two years.

This album has been the source that they drew from in Italy throughout the '90s and '00s. Cited, copied countless times.

It's not a review, but a summary. Here on Debaser, the format seems to have disappeared. A maximum of twenty lines.

Oriana Fallaci QUEL GIORNO SULLA LUNA

I have read 90% of what she has written, and I read it almost in chronological order of release, so I fully experienced her transformation due to the experience she had in Vietnam. If you read "If the Sun Dies" and then "Nothing and So Be It," followed by this, you have the proof of how disillusionment grew in her towards a people she deeply loved and admired. Here there is also the anecdote about Pete Conrad, her great friend, who treats her badly when she asks for "a bit of moon." No one has told that epic like she did, because she entered the lives of those men, and few know that on Apollo 13, Lowell brought along a "trouble-dispelling" charm given to him by Oriana just before the journey. You can debate her final stances, but not the greatness of her pen.

I saw the Italian Masters dedicated to this LP. If Curreri Vasco hadn't been there, no one would have remembered anything; he mumbled nonsensical things like "eh...mah...already like this...prog...Guccini...eh...Zocca. " What a sadness.

Panella's texts are like the ending of Twin Peaks: if you try to decipher them, you go crazy.

The record that made it clear something was about to happen. "I Saw Her Standing There" is monstrous, it grabs your guts with that opening. At the time, everyone was stunned; Elvis was bloated in the movies... they came along and boom. A record practically recorded in one take.
