Yesterday was the last day of the festival (yes, those pagans stole Ash Wednesday), our Burra rasta parade, meeting dos boizinhos, roda de capoeira, and to wrap it up, Sigura Coisa, the marijuana march.
It’s way more exhausting to face carnival with seriousness than to go to work.

The Qualitons - Walkin' on Water (Tomorrow's News)

The Qualitons - Mellbimbo

Budapest…

These Nobility are truly special.
From the Garage, they move to the chic outbuilding.
Black music, Freakbeat, Jazz, Fusion, Psychedelia, Beat …

And if I like Jazz-Fusion too … we understand each other.

A blast, in short…

Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Elvis Is Everywhere / Music Video 1987

We went to a shopping mall
And laughed at all the shoppers
And security guards trailed us to a record shop
We asked for Mojo Nixon
They said, "He don't work here"
We said, "If you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'"

(Dead Milkmen "Punk Rock Girl")

For those who remember, Mojo Nixon has passed away.

Antonello Venditti, Gato Barbieri - Modena (Live)

When I get that well-known hypochondria but the bottle isn’t empty yet, when someone decides that it doesn’t seem appropriate to continue living in this wo(r)ld, this song kicks in.

Thinking that this piece is contained in "Buona domenica" only heightens the discomfort felt when things come to an end. To think that it was written by the same person who sang about wounded stags, of Mary Magdalenes, of Seveso and of Lilly is nothing short of disorienting.

Yes, because here it seems to be talking, apparently, about the end of the Italian Communist Party. But it's not just this end – already foreshadowed by Moro's murder – that scares, but rather its inevitability.

How Venditti managed to write this absolute masterpiece after the horrible "Sotto il segno dei pesci" (essentially the end of "cantautorato" as such) is incomprehensible to me.

Yet in this pearl for the pigs remains, indelible, the baritone sax of Gato Barbieri, with its piercing high notes, screaming the rage of those who know it’s going to end badly but don’t give a damn.

Something that screams until it breaks: something that hopes even if hope belongs to a past future. Something terribly human lost who knows where. Yuk!
