Aztec Camera - Knife
They don't drive me crazy like other indie/Postcard sound bands, but this track is perfect... I wish they had made 3 or 4 more pieces with these vibes gloriously delivered by breathless and piano... here, after all, very close to the divine Prefab, Blue Nile, and Deacon Blue.

#thegodz (2)
The Godz: wild, disjointed, and musically spasmodic; epigones of the Fugs. Coordinates: New York, 1966. Stamped as "the worst band in history." Only ESP could produce them.
Not to be confused with the homonymous The Godz, an outlaw biker hard rock band from Ohio.
 
Metallica Seek And Destroy Live at The Metro 1983 #iloveguitars gibson flying v. Probably the most loved and hated guitar at the same time. It was born in the 50s (who would have thought?) inspired by the first jet planes. Initially, it had little success, along with its sister, the Explorer, but it made a comeback in the 70s. A guitar designed to be played standing up since it's a bit uncomfortable sitting down, it is especially loved by metalheads for its shape. A beautiful, thick sound and its "tacky" design make it perfect for the worshippers of Satan.
 
Nirvana - In Bloom (Live at Reading 1992) #iloveguitars the fender jaguar. Born in the 60s, it was developed as an improvement of the fender jazzmaster, which turned out to be a flop in the jazz guitarist market. The jaguar was enhanced from its predecessor in terms of electronics but also aesthetically with the addition of chrome parts (unlike most fender models that are more sober and spartan). Its sound is very "sharp" and has a strong presence in the mid-high range. It’s perfect for punk, garage, and surf. In the 90s, it became the quintessential guitar for grunge and noise bands. In terms of shape, it’s my favorite in the fender lineup, but it's also a guitar to use if you're looking for "alternative" sounds. It’s definitely not suitable for everything, or at least not if you use it “pure,” since now with the advent of digital systems, you can make any instrument sound a bit however you want (but you often risk having a sound that resembles a "video game"). Anyway, aside from my personal tastes... this remains a stunning guitar that has made history. And then this cute blonde one arrived to drive us crazy with three damn chords... but that’s another story.

AC/DC - Beating Around The Bush (Madrid, Spain 09/02/1980 on "Aplauso" TV Show) VHS. #iloveguitars gibson sg (the little devil). Born in the 60s as a response to the Fender Strat, it was initially presented as a Les Paul with a double cutaway, but Mr. Les Paul, after seeing it, said it was a "dangerous" guitar because of the horns that could hurt musicians. So Gibson dropped the Les Paul name and simply called it the S.G. (Solid Guitar). The S.G. is a "bad" guitar made for hard rock; if you want to play "clean," get a Fender; if you want a warm sound, get a Les Paul... but if you want to bring the saints down from heaven, you must have an S.G.!! When I chose my first serious guitar, I was set on a Les Paul, but as soon as I walked into the store, she was there waiting for me... she was shiny black, and she looked at me as if to say, "Come on, silly, take me away." For me, it remains the sexiest piece of wood in the world. It’s no coincidence that I named her "Eva"... and if she gets on stage, everyone better move aside… the leading lady is her. Ladies and gentlemen, the legendary "little devil."

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love (Official Audio) #iloveguitars The Gibson Les Paul, along with the Stratocaster, is undoubtedly one of the most famous guitars in rock. They are the opposite of each other. Solid body versus bolt-on neck, "fat" sound versus crystal-clear sound, super refined construction versus super spartan construction. What can I say? Gibsons are simply "beautiful," they definitely have a few quirks, the G string constantly goes out of tune, if they fall, they always break at the neck, they're heavier, and the fretboard is more "clubby"... but if you want a "full of love" sound, you have to play in the Gibson house. With Fenders, you can do anything... with a Gibson, you make love.
 
Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing (Live At Monterey Pop Festival, 1967) #iloveguitars the fender stratocaster. Probably the electric guitar that comes to mind for anyone thinking of an electric guitar. Everyone considers it the most versatile instrument thanks to its three pickups and the 5-way switch. Personally, I don't like the shape... and it annoys the hell out of me that the volume knob is too close to the strings (I always tend to touch it when I play and inadvertently lower the volume) but how it sounds!!! And how this big guy made it sound... even though I believe he could have made a Bontempi toy guitar sound great. Uncle Jimi... what can I say??
 
Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode (1959) #iloveguitars with which guitar was rock n' roll "created"? Gibson es 350!! A semi-acoustic (electric with a hollow body). This guitar revolutionized music in the '50s. Who could I possibly put as the icon of this instrument if not him?? Grandpa Chuck... perhaps "the guitarist" par excellence. Moreover, this piece, after all this time, still remains a bomb... impossible not to shake your hips and ankles. R.i.p Chuck and thank you for everything.

Television - Marquee Moon #iloveguitars a journey through the history of the electric guitar. Let's start with the first one, the Telecaster. This is the first mass-produced solid body guitar. Often regarded as "a board with six strings," but in reality, beyond being the elder sister of all solid body electric guitars... it has its own unique sound that remains inimitable. I chose Television because they have made it a manifesto. Enjoy the listening!
 
Gagaku and Beyond

A semi-serious journey through the discography and the countless collaborations of Tony Levin, in almost chronological order.
1976 Herbie Mann - Gagaku & Beyond
 
Rare Bird - Iceberg
Go tell these bands if they have Instagram, followers, likes... and the hippies who imagined the 2000s with men in silver suits and green antennas in the streets... how did we end up instead AHAH
 
Beggar's Opera - Light Cavalry
Nice and the early Deep Purple have influenced many, but the first 2 albums by Beggar are enchanting.

Diana Ross and The Supremes - In And Out Of Love [Ed Sullivan Show - 1967]

#edsullivanshow

From 1948 to 1971, every Sunday night, Ed Sullivan hosted some of the greatest and most famous artists on his show, broadcast on CBS. Around a decade ago, re-released in 12 DVDs, an Italian newspaper published the best performances. I’m sharing them again; there are truly wonderful things.
