#suckthisPOP § If i could write poetry - television personalities
He’s a street poet, with a great love for heroin, a love that led him to put his teeth under the pillow waiting for the blue fairy, a love that made him sell his guitar, a love that got him some time behind bars, a love that made him turn his back on friends. A love demonstrated by Scandinavian fans who are trying to get him back on track by making a tribute album to pay for a new, absolutely disappointing but great job, because it gave new hope to a man who sold his soul to music, if we want to call it that romantically. But now he was in over his head, if we want to call it that romantically. He sold the guitar and redeemed that little bit of soul that he still had left. At least I believe so, but I often blur the line between reality and boring fairy tales.
 
Perry Leopold - The Journey §
discovered by chance with his deep American folk, flavors that in my ignorance I would define as "mystical." I know two works that slowly seep in, they don't demand immediate attention, but as happened to me, you feel that there's something you can't bend to, music to dig into while getting your hands dirty. The gratification isn't immediate, but slowly the atmospheres become increasingly defined images until they create a picture of exciting colors very close to a part of the soul that is rarely warmed by a simple timid solitary ray of sunshine.

Ellington - Perdido

A great standard written by trombonist Juan Tizol, "Perdido" is one of the peaks of big band performance. If, with Mingus, I asked you to take off your hat as he passed by, ladies and gentlemen, I suggest you listen to this piece (and all the solos it comprises, each at the physical limit that defines where swing ends and bop begins) directly on your knees. Am I exaggerating? Naaaah, listen and kneel, in disbelief.
 
Duncan Browne (METRO) - Flame Wow, what an album! "Black lace shoulder", "One way night", "Criminal world" and this one are divine works.
 
Mauro Repetto - Baciami qui (live)

The #unproposeables

The story didn’t end in '94, but had further developments. First the farewell to a friend, then the escape to America and the desperate pursuit of a dream film in New York. More or less like the elusive Brandy, the model "discovered in a magazine" but never met. She, the unreachable one, who was supposed to be the star of that film he produced. A scam, apparently worth millions, against him. Brandy is nowhere to be found, the film doesn’t get made, the dream fades away. For now. The return home, an album, the ultimate attempt to shake off the label of "the one who danced next to the one who sang." Big guests on that album (he brought them in, and who else but Cecchetto). There was also Demo Morselli, the legendary trumpeter of Maurizio Costanzo. From that album remains, indeed, an appearance on 'Un disco per l'estate.' In Riccione. But in Riccione, he was just passing through, because Disneyland Paris was already awaiting him.

Lydon didn't suddenly become a genius; undoubtedly, changing his clothes and hanging out with different people has benefited him. His smirk is now much more unsettling because there's something behind it that truly hurts.
