I announced a week or two ago that I would challenge your old-fashioned, thirty-something, Anglo-Saxon folk rock with the Italic singer-songwriter fare you haven't talked about in ages. To meet you halfway, it will be the same stuff here too: two or maybe three artists riding the wave in the seventies, and if you’ve never heard their names, you’re poor inside, dead outside, and old in your mind. A week ago, the teaser of Guccini and his Don Chisiotte. Today we begin the playlist "Eroi e Reietti" with L'altra penna, which will accompany us in the coming weeks in this rediscovery (my God, "rediscovering" this stuff is criminal: it’s something that should be proposed every other day on an Italian site that makes music and writing its strong suit). Do you already know them all? I bought Pink Moon in '99; I’ve been listening to Waits since I was driven to elementary school, just as I don't need you for Drake and Waits, I pray God you don't need me for this stuff. Enough of chit-chat; "Eroi e Reietti; track one." For the next seven minutes, you can pause laughter and optimism and pull out your notebook. If you’re so terrible you don’t already know it by heart. fabrizio de andre - il cantico dei drogati
