"Love Album" is a small wonder of #psychpop interpreted in a #canterbury style from #2010
maybe @[imasoulman] could enlighten us?
 
Il rock è morto

from an interview with Giovanni Succi:
Question: in the song "rock is dead," I find every line striking. Especially the focus on that part of the musical critique that is stuck in certain classic rock patterns. In this vein, I would like to know your opinion on the current state of our rock, both the underground and the one in the media spotlight.

"As an author, I don’t address the critics; I address the audience, people who listen, or who could genuinely listen. Flesh-and-blood people that I might face and look in the eye. If a certain type of rock fan were to listen to that piece, it was important for me to point out that if anyone is killing rock here, it’s them. The lyrics are explicit, they will recognize themselves. The media chase after the tastes of the audience, not the other way around: we shouldn't always shift the responsibility elsewhere. The mainstream rock audience is backward-looking and reactionary, meaning resistant to any form of change, come what may. The media know this. And this is how it behaves towards rock, a popular music that has always lived (since its inception) and perhaps survives through metamorphosis, contamination, leaps and risks, not mummies. With the same attitude, you would have kept the Beatles stuck at Love Me Do.
As for the current events in Italy, I assume you’re referring to the success of Måneskin; I believe they demonstrate one fact: that incredibly talented, beautiful, and fully convinced young people, EVEN IF ITALIAN, can still make it with the first three chords of Smoke On The Water in 2021. Just as it happened with Sfera Ebbasta in his time: too good to be ignored. Does that sound bad to you? I see only beauty: it’s rock’n’roll. “Live to win, born to lose” was Lemmy’s motto. And they have won, period. They don’t invent anything? So what do they need to? Have you seen them? So leave the dirty work to us sick flies and enjoy the party without being a pain in the ass."
 
Bongoloide

We all have a "bongoloide" that haunts us. This is for them.

Ten little stiff fingers. Minimal series over two years with Stiff Little Fingers (3)
 
Portapagliauberalles

How boring and annoying these totally crowded and impractical beaches are: it feels almost like being at the Bagni Rina in Riccione.
And then this water is so dirty.
All we're missing are the seagulls making a fuss.

This summer, I wholeheartedly recommend that you stay right where you are.

@[IlConte] the first reunion was a beautiful thing. After all.
Or not?
 
Would you like to try something new?
A tour (necessarily not exhaustive) of the extraordinary Neapolitan musical heritage.
Napule Canta E More (Original Mix)
Behind this compilation of incredible restored and re-edited Neapolitan funk tracks are Nu Guinea (Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina), who created the notable "Nuova Napoli" on this canvas. Both albums are from 2018, and no one on DeB has noticed them yet...
@[imasoulman] listen to this Neapolitan blackploitation and let me know!
I don’t know if this is the future of the Napoli sound, but I’ll stop here with my little review.
I know I left out a lot of stuff, but we risked never finishing it!
And Pino Daniele?
Have I mentioned that I don't love Pino Daniele?
 
Steppenwolf "Born To Be Wild" & "Magic Carpet Ride" on The Ed Sullivan Show

#edsullivanshow

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