Bossanova - track n. 12. Hang wire

Pixies - Hang Wire

The track that names the album. There’s no nostalgia here. For a few seconds Joey’s guitar falls silent and Kim’s bass takes center stage, then it begins to invent sound lines until the abrupt ending.
 
DEVO - gut feeling-slap your mammy (live New York may'77)

“God made man
But he used a monkey to do it...APES in the plan!"
 
Inspired by my last listening session with my fan (Valentyna), I can only tell you that I’ve sliced into a ripe melon I’ve had in the fridge for a week (quite sweet), and then I’ll read a few pages of one of my favorite authors, specifically from this novel that was released in 2010.

And since I keep the windows in my room open, the background sounds are filled with the chatter of customers from the Osteria al Diplomatico, who are drinking and flirting outside the venue... (every night except Monday).
 
James Brown "Prisoner Of Love" on The Ed Sullivan Show

#edsullivanshow

From 1948 to 1971, every Sunday night Ed Sullivan welcomed the biggest and most famous artists on his show, aired on CBS. About ten years ago, it was released in 12 DVDs, and an Italian newspaper published the best performances. I'm sharing them with you again; there are truly wonderful things.

Concert Review Venditti-De Gregori

Only at the moment of entering the main entrance of the stadium were we informed by the staff that we had to "make the detour," meaning a 2 km walk with the concert about to start, amidst traffic and a crowd pressing in.

Fans in their 40s and 50s, die-hard De Gregori enthusiasts, were screaming piercing high notes specifically to puncture your eardrums.

Otherwise, the atmosphere was nice, especially when the fans in the stands spontaneously launched into chants for their team. De Gregori's setlist was coherent and more than sufficient, while Venditti started with "Modena" and ended with "In questo mondo di ladri" and "Che fantastica storia è la vita." The duets were charming, particularly "Dolce signora che bruci." On the other hand, the performances in general felt hasty and lacking balance, with about 3 hours of non-stop music; indeed, even a tribute to Dalla with "Canzone" came off as forced and bordering on opportunism.
 
Coldplay - The Scientist
One of the few great pieces by Giocofreddo. Always beautiful.
