Grandissima Miriam! You have encapsulated in just a few words the meaning of this album, which hides a new and dark world, where a new way of looking at rock'n'roll will emerge, even wilder, even sicker. These days I'm reading the biography of Lou Reed, and it's a delight to read about the performances they executed alongside the music with the intent to "disturb the listener." I'm waitin' on myspace/bepperocker.

Bought today, consciously knowing I was facing a great group. I wasn't wrong; compared to the previous one, there seems to be a charm in a sick blues, but their greatness lies in turning rock'n'roll into a symphony without the deleterious pomp of progressive. The comparison you make with the Cure, I don't know why, I thought of that too. Surely the good old Robert Smith will never reach such heights again. After all, it’s a wheel; one cycle ends and another begins, and that of Arcade Fire is just getting started. Don’t miss their date in Ferrara in July.

Well, I bought the record (paid 16.50 euros, but where do you buy records?), at first I wasn't thrilled, but with each listen the melodies of the songs get under your skin and I completely clear my mind of everything. They seem like ancient melodies but at the same time they're incredibly contemporary. I also love this perpetual atmosphere of the songs, almost like a sort of concept album. But my friend, you were a bit superficial. I don’t want to flood Deb with more reviews; it was enough to state that the project started in 2004 and then was abandoned, that Paul Simonon, who had hung up his bass, was convinced to join the project because Albarn is his new neighbor and because they both live in that West London which still has a soul. Anyway, in my opinion, it remains one of the albums of the year.

Your review says and doesn't say, it could be a good start for a kick-ass story with Hornby blessing you from above. I really enjoyed reading it, well done, and fuck if you didn't talk about Albarn, he's been quite annoying with that darkened air he's put on lately, considering he was such a snob in the 90s. Simonon is always himself, from now until eternity...

The Clash Combat Rock

I'm reading the biography of the Clash, a beautiful book by Pat Trevers titled "Death or Glory" published by Ed. Arcana, and the title says it all. Well, I've discovered, as the good Lester Bangs said, that the Clash is the only band that really matters. They created a style while staying true to themselves, abolished the clichés of rock stars and even punk icons by reinventing themselves musically and stylistically. They were artists who infused their music with their passions, from politics to cinema, but most importantly, they were authentic and real like no one else before them.

I wish you good luck with your upcoming reviews; keep it up!

So, my dear degre, if you had taken the trouble to inform yourself a bit about poor Rino, you would have discovered that your (my) dear De Gregori collaborated on the album "Nuntereggaepiù" from '78; you can even hear him in the choruses of "Fabbricando case." Evidently, De Gregori did not consider Rino a second-rate singer; he seems intelligent and independent enough to choose the people he collaborates with (like De Andrè). So, before shooting your mouth off, try to do it with some knowledge on the subject.

..and let's hear about these untouchables. I bet you'd prefer ten Tiziano Ferro instead of a Rino Gaetano. And anyway, it comforts me that new intelligent authors like Cristicchi, Cammariere, Gazzè argue the opposite, my dear. In fact, I'll tell you more, to your utmost misfortune it seems that Paolo Rossi will sing a song by Rino at Sanremo, yes, a series B author returns to Sanremo...

Dear degre, thank you for your comment, but I’m pleased to say that you could have avoided saying bullshit and moved on when you see reviews like that, thanks. Don’t pay attention to them...

The Clash Sandinista!

The Clash could have churned out one "London Calling" after another and settled for life. Instead, with "Sandinista," they try to broaden their horizons. Sure, the album has no unifying thread, but that's precisely its strength. Creative freedom to explore funky, rap, dub, reggae—genres with a rich history that allow for the experimentation of new frontiers. And the Clash are great for this; they play these genres with a punk attitude while still being respectful. Listening to this album, I think many bands that revitalized music wouldn’t exist, from Massive Attack to "our Casinò Royale," and perhaps not even Subsonica... The Clash, with this album, opened a new phase of music, and for this alone, they deserve absolute respect.
