The Reivers - 'Saturday'
What Am I Doing - The Reivers
#forgetyourfatherandmen

How many double duos in rock? Let’s say, off the top of my head: Mamas & Papas, Ricchi e Poveri, and Abba. All pretty well-known, right? (Oh yes, even Ricchi e Poveri were and are celebrities in all of Russia)
Well, here we're a bit below in terms of notoriety.
They were called Zeitgeist and a couple of releases in the mid-Eighties under that name (especially the splendid debut ‘Translate Slowly’) created a tiny, tiny cult of followers among all the REM-epigones located on both coasts of the Union, even though here we are in sunny Texas, Austin to be precise.
Then, the usual primogeniture already registered by others forced them to change their name, and how delightful it was to find them a couple of years later as Reivers ('the raiders' from Faulkner) and this splendid 'Saturday', which even attracted the attention of Capitol, because college rock had broken through and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
This mix of guitar-driven rock and exquisite intersexual vocal harmonies, always entwined with melodies capable of clinging to the eardrums like tenacious ivy, remains for me a glorious mystery as to why it didn’t make them global stars.

Acqua E Sapone - Stadio

Piero Ciampi - Il Giocatore

The introduction of the piece by Stadio reminds me of that in Il Giocatore by Piero Ciampi. Possible plagiarism?

HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ANGLOPHONE SECTION, vol. 3: Queen

(An exception to the usual review of Italic talents, groups, or soloists. This time we’re going Anglophone; let’s admit it, shall we? It’s not just in the Boot that musical careers, once shining, are brought to an ignoble and disgraceful end.)

Friends, welcome to the ninth installment of a delightful little column that I warn you should be taken in small doses and on an empty stomach. Inspired by some excellent DeBaser fans with a hobby of occasionally making themselves gag, here I am to offer you a few carefully chosen listens concerning the disgusting side of the output of some Anglophone groups or solo artists who have truly made History in Music, once providing quality music with potentially international appeal, only to then sink into the depths of a low-quality discography that renders them, for the most part, unrecognizable to their former fans.

Let’s blow into the foul trumpets, come on...

Today we highlight the crummy phases of another group that, unlike others, embraced a more pop and shamelessly commercial vein before many other contemporary bands did the same, showing, if nothing else, a certain commercial instinct. The fact that Mercury’s exceptional voice has salvaged often less than mediocre songs is a point we’ve already made, and we risk boring ourselves by repeating it.

After the 10 worst things produced by Venditti, by Daniele, the column "L'inascoltabile Dalla" by @[fabriziozizzi], the Edoardo Smerdato of @[Martello], and the column "HOW TO RUIN A CAREER" in volumes by @[Dislocation], I find it fair and necessary to mention the outtakes from my two previous columns. There will be a total of 10 outtakes, divided into two listenings. We continue with Mr. Daniele from Naples. (in purely random order)
Pino Daniele - Rhum and coca
Pino Daniele - Pigro
Pino Daniele - Occhi Che Sanno Parlare
Pino Daniele - La mia casa sei tu
Si forever - Pino Daniele
Stop, it’s all over. #maybe @[dsalva] @[Farnaby]

HOW TO RUIN A CAREER, ANGLOPHONE SECTION, vol. 3: Queen

(An exception to the usual review of Italian talents, groups or soloists. This time we're going Anglo-speaking, after all, shall we say it or not that not only in the Boot are musical careers being completed in an unworthy and undignified manner that once paved the way for all?)

Friends, welcome to the ninth block of a delightful little column that, I warn you, should be taken in minimal doses and on an empty stomach. Inspired by excellent DeBaser enthusiasts with a hobby of occasionally sticking their fingers down their throats, here I am to propose a few chosen listens regarding the disgusting side of the production of certain Anglo-speaking groups or solo artists who have truly made their mark in the History of Music, once offering quality music with the potential for international appeal, only to end up in the muck of a very low-tier discography rendering them, for the most part, unrecognizable to the ears of their former fans.

Let the foul trumpets sound, onward...

Today we highlight the shit phases of another group that, unlike others, embraced a more pop and shamelessly commercial vein before many other contemporary bands did the same, demonstrating, if nothing else, a certain commercial instinct, shall we say. The fact that Mercury’s exceptional voice managed to lift often less than mediocre tracks from the mire is a discussion we've already had, and we risk boring ourselves by repeating it.

Well tuned in to #radiocapish

Once again today, the Jazz-Noir column presents a classic: one of the first entirely jazz soundtracks in the history of cinema, performed by Duke Ellington and company.

Here’s a little page from the old @[JOHNDOE] about the film: Anatomia di un omicidio (Anatomy of a Murder) - Otto Preminger - recensione

Enjoy listening.
