#bestyears the Microphones - Microphones in 2020
In my opinion, one of the best works of 2020.
45 minutes, a single stream of consciousness interrupted by field recordings and various effects. What might seem like endless boredom instead transforms, like an ugly duckling, into a very interesting piece.

Today is the day of “my” boy and there’s no other bullshit
The first album to choose would be madness

#40yearswithoutBonzo

A few years ago, a dear friend in the industry invited me to a party/event/night that I already hated... I was already quite tipsy and he introduced me to some young musicians. A couple of them were young drummers – they said they were amazing – who were practicing like crazy; one Italian from Milan and the other German. The Italian mainly played funky rock rap and the German jazz rock. They both told me that it doesn't matter what you play... if you’re a drummer, Bonham is an absolute benchmark... and all his story of being self-taught, his obsession with swing and jazz with his idols Krupa and the gang... and his love for funk and Motown...
I was wonderfully impressed, they knew more than I did... meanwhile, I was already completely fried...
 
Bruce Springsteen - Ghosts (Lyric Video) New single. Nostalgic seventy-year-old.
 
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love (Official Audio)

Today is the day of "my" boy and there are no other bullshit.
Choosing the first album would be madness.

"No t the 'best,' not the most technical, not even the fastest or the most precise or elegant - all characteristics that are, by the way, way too limiting -
Just and undeniably the Greatest without ifs and buts for everything he has given to Rock, the one with blood, and to the instrument... that even today drummers study John Henry...
Legends then shouldn't need speeches, but anyway...
Now let's go and break everything" (quote from Il Conte)

It is said that at my 40th birthday party - and therefore at Bonzo's too - I said more or less this while standing on the tables. Now I don’t remember, and I don’t even know how the others remember considering the excesses... but I can believe it.

Today is the day of “my” Boy and there’s no other bullshit
