Those mobsters made me laugh out loud... "here the dialogues are few, but all successful" ---> True, especially those between Ghost Dog and the Haitian ice cream vendor.

Well, Francis Ford Coppola made a "Bram Stoker's Dracula" taking quite a few liberties... Hellring, if you haven't seen it yet, stay away from it...

Ah, in California, cannabis is not only administered to cancer patients, those suffering from chronic pain, etc., but also, for example, to people affected by various forms of depression, psychological stress, etc... (hi K.!)

"In England, it is already administered in hospitals and by prescription. It is legal. In Switzerland, they want to introduce it soon." ---> It is legal also in Schwarzenegger's California...

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Debussy - Images, Prèludes, Children's corner

"...thinking that since everyone is an idiot, no one would ever notice" ---> Well, Michelangeli got lucky... After all, he was caught after "only" 46 years... Not exactly something everyone can do...

"The complexity behind apparent simplicity" ---> But please...:-)@Hymnen: I brought Canino into the conversation, so you're referring to my comment. I did not "dismiss" the two pianists at all. Rather, I dismissed the two albums by Battiato. Just to clarify...

Crap! And "Egypt before the sands" is even worse. If in "Za" it's just Antonio Ballista repeating an agreement for twenty minutes, in "Egypt..." there are two of them, playing four hands: the usual Ballista and Bruno Canino... I hope at least they got paid a hefty amount...

Tim Buckley Dream Letter: Live In London 1968

Hello MisterB. As for me, I don't believe in suicide. Lee Underwood, right in the booklet of this CD, recounts that Tim's spirits were high: he was on tour, had detoxed, and had many plans to revive his career. So, his "state of mind" in the days leading up to his death makes one lean towards the belief in accidental death (accidental to a certain point: the guy who sold him the lethal dose was charged with murder and sentenced to five years in prison, by the way...). Anyway, I take this opportunity to point out that a "new" album has come out: it's called "Live at The Folklore Center, NYC: March 6th, 1967." It’s a recording of a concert held by Tim solo with his little guitar, in front of about thirty spectators. If you want to hear one of the unpublished tracks (which is quite nice, by the way): Tim Buckley » Bye.

Samuel Beckett Waiting For Godot

If someone wants to delve into Beckett's theater (but also that of Ionesco, Pinter, etc...): Martin Esslin "The Theatre of the Absurd". And since Galakordi mentions "Endgame," which I saw at the theater with the great Carlo Cecchi in the role of Hamm and the talented Valerio Binasco in the role of Clov, I recommend Beckett's first novel, "Murphy."

Heard a piece from this guy today. It's a plagiarism of an old song by Belinda Carlisle which was itself a plagiarism of a track by Bon Jovi. Basically, total crap.
