Inside Rapper’s Delight by the Sugarhill Gang, you can also catch the disco piece Here Comes the Sound Again (and let's say again and again… again and again… again and again…) by Love De-Luxe. This track also gets around, appearing in many pieces scattered here and there across the Producers' world (To'! They aren’t even called musicians anymore! Why???)

So:
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, we now present, for the usual Bla Bla Bla Triptychs segment, the third episode of: Using pieces of music, joining them, splitting them, shaking them, scratching them, talking over them, under them, sideways, all seasoned with rhythm, without purpose, but also with many purposes, social, asocial, of protest, of fun, and so on.

The track Good Times by CHIC was sampled for Rapper’s Delight by the Sugarhill Gang in 1979 and then for the remaining 97% of Hip Hop tracks; well, maybe I exaggerated, let's swap the percentage numbers: 79% sounds more believable, even if the source is completely unreliable.
So:
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, we now present, for the usual Bla Bla Bla Triptych segment, the second episode of: Using pieces of music, combining them, splitting them, tugging at them, scratching them, talking over them, under them, sideways, all seasoned with rhythm, without purpose, but also with many purposes, social, asocial, protest, fun, and so on.

So, so... what can I tell you today? What should I let you listen to? Ah! I could share a track I heard today, one that was a hit between 1979 and 1980, and then publish two samples that were used to create it.

In the meantime, I can tell you that it’s an old-school RAP, in fact, it’s THE RAP, but I can’t tell you more because I’m not an expert in RAP. However, a listen is a listen; it doesn’t mean you have to fully understand this sound. Obviously, if you want to know more, you can spoil yourself with the history of the track by doing your research on Wikipedia.

So:
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, now airing for the usual Trittici Bla Bla Bla segment, the first episode of: Using pieces of music, joining them, splitting them, jerking them around, scratching them, talking over them, under them, sideways, all seasoned with rhythm, without purpose, but also with many purposes, social, asocial, of protest, of fun, and so on.

Once upon a time, there was a man who played the guitar beautifully, playing jazz; he was the best. One evening, Death came to him and told him to come with her, but he replied that he wasn’t ready yet, he still had to play his guitar for a long time. Annoyed, Death left, but before fading away, she cast a spell on him: “You have challenged me; you did not want to come with me to play your guitar. I will make sure that you will remember nothing of your beautiful notes.” She put him to sleep. The man woke up confused, so confused that he remembered nothing at all; he did not know his friends, he did not know who he was, but above all, he did not remember that once he played the guitar. One evening, a friend gave him an album by a jazz guitarist. “Listen to it,” he said. The man liked that melody so much that he declared he absolutely wanted to meet that jazz musician and learn to play the guitar like him. “But you are that musician!” his friend confessed to him. And the man learned once again to play the guitar, wonderfully: he was the best, once again. The man grew old playing and composing. Death came again to compliment him: “You have done well; you have lived twice, and you have managed to learn to play the guitar twice. You truly love it, so aren’t you tired?” The man replied: “No, I will never get tired, but this time I will come with you; I will play for you forever.”

I close the debatable triptych entitled by myself with the final installment of "the films I adored as a child" (I’m lying, it’s a masterpiece):
Logan's Run, 1976 - directed by Michael Anderson, main protagonist Michael York
We are in 2274, and the events described in the narrative have yet to occur: a hypothetical nuclear war exterminates humankind, and the survivors live in a closed-off, brilliant, and festive world created for that purpose: sex is only for fun, reproduction is done through cloning, and after the age of 30, to avoid the danger of overpopulation, through a sort of ascetic rite, one moves towards regeneration and reincarnation, or rather, this is what the mega computer controller makes the inhabitants believe... Logan5 is part of the system, but once he discovers the "principles" on which this system is based, Logan flees.
In the first two works, we played with contemporary analogies of the pandemic and climate change, but what are we playing with here? The points for reflection are more than one: cloning as the exclusive reproductive method, the programmed termination of the individual, the use of human flesh for food, atomic warfare, the control of living beings through a central computer system, and… the others, I don’t know, find them yourself, Kisses :-*

The second film on today's lineup concerning "The films I adored as a child" (the column is always the same, with a capital ERRE, namely The Disputable Triptychs of Aleph) is:
The Last Wave, 1977 - directed by Peter Wier, starring Richard Chamberlain.
The film is set in a contemporary time frame but without a precise date, with the location being Australia. It is permeated by a dark atmosphere surrounding something imminent, through the protagonist's dreamlike premonitions, who is white and seemingly disconnected from the local culture. This contrasts with the Aboriginal world, with all its secrets stemming from shamanism.
Humanity still exists, but for a short while; the catastrophe, this time climatic, is, according to the Aboriginal people, cyclical and relentless—the last wave will submerge the land; it hasn't been the first time and it won't be the last.
The point in this case is the climate. Could one have hypothesized a childish and gigantic rise of waters in the '70s? Ridiculous… well, not so much, Kisses ;)

Welcome back to the listening (for those who want to spare me a little charity) of the exclusive and elite column I Discutibili Trittici di Aleph.
Today's episode titled: “The films I adored as a child” reveals, besides my relatively venerable youthful age, a certain taste for a cinematic genre quite typical of the pre-proto-adolescent age, characterized by a love for particular apocalyptic visions not always praised by critics.
The first film I propose is:
OMEGA MAN - 1975: White Eyes on Planet Earth, from 1971 - directed by Boris Sagal, starring Charlton Heston.
Without unrolling the entire plot (those interested can easily search for it on the Internet), I propose just one personal point of reflection: The film is based on a story from the 1950s (I am Legend, surely rings a bell) set in 1975. Humanity is almost gone due to a catastrophic biological war that has created monstrous mutants with white eyes, and our hero tries to find a way to save what remains of the healthy living beings by searching for a vaccine.
The point is 1975. Could one have hypothesized a pandemic in the 1970s? Ridiculous… well, not so much after all. Kisses ;)

The latest episode of today's elite column (so elitist that pretty much only I listen to it) “The Disputable Triptychs of Aleph” is about the only piece of PAT known even by the most out-of-tune guitars on the planet. And since I couldn’t get rid of that @[lector] there, I dedicate the song to the Debaserians of 11 PM. Still from the tour with Pino Daniele, or rather, from Pino Daniele's tour, kisses :-*

Here’s Pee Wee live, always with The Chicken. When he did the concert more than 10 years ago around here (on the beach, amazing), his wife was walking among the audience and scolding those who were taking pictures. “If you want, come after the concert and take a picture with him, but don’t disturb him during the show!”

The second excerpt of today's episode of the column "The Disputable Triptychs of Aleph" concerns a very young Marcella Bella. As previously mentioned, in earlier eras, those who wanted to flatter or mock me swore that I resembled some famous character. In this case, more than the features, it was my hairstyle, quite voluminous in the manner of LUIGI XVI, that made me pseudo-similar to the Sicilian singer.

Over the centuries, it has always happened that the people I had the pleasure (or the spheega) of meeting and getting to know would liken me to more singers. I've never understood whether this was a genuine belief or a way to initiate an approach, or perhaps even more to tease me a little 😹...

For the column "The Debatable Triptychs of Aleph," today I want you to listen to the song "Noi" sung by Antonella Ruggero, the first singer I had the honor of being told: you resemble her! (True or not, it doesn't really matter)

Beggin’ by Madcon from 2007 is essentially, even though it’s not the music genre I usually listen to, ironic, fresh, and perhaps helped by a cute video that imitates the "SHAFT" titles and Pam Grier from almost ancient memory; in short, it's a yes. My favorite after Frankie & CO.
