Thirteen at thirty (100)

Imperial Teen - No Matter What You Say (Official Music Video)

The end.

These last 100 days of mine, although not as epic as those of Napoleon, have been crucial for me. This column has also served as a sort of self-therapy journey, during which I have revisited, sometimes more reluctantly than willingly, what it means to be thirteen at thirty. First and foremost, it is implicit that I have gone ‘back’—and I feel like I have gone back—regarding certain perspectives I had set for myself, but above all, in one way or another, these pieces have been like reliving certain states of mind, if not particular situations. Many traces are connected to significant memories, and many emotions have resurfaced: from the inadequacy in relation to the world, through the rediscovery of bodies and feelings—both my own and those of others—up to the opposite of not feeling in the right place, namely that healthy and somewhat silly arrogance that might also lead us to make foolish mistakes, but nevertheless makes us bold and feels justified because we are in the flow of life itself. "It doesn’t matter what others say": isn’t this perhaps the greatest truth (and also the greatest lie) of adolescence?

I don’t know, you decide.
The Great Genoese can be discussed, just as one could debate if someone called us an attempt.
For me, that is to say, for myself, an extraordinary album.

The Creation Factory - I Don't Know What to Do

The Creation Factory - You Got It (Official Video)

2018 or thereabouts, what a wonder this album by Creation Factory - California is.

They fit perfectly into that vast, noble container of exhausted fetishists who leave home believing, indeed convinced… they are in 1966…

The name is taken from two sixties bands, the album cover is in the style of Love's debut… the band may not have "become the coolest on the planet," as someone prophesied, but perhaps, if we were in the sixties… and anyway, if you do garage, you’re a loser, you know that and you’re even proud of it…

Big Star - Thirteen 1972

Obviously, the piece that inspired this column, in addition to personal events. I wanted to place it as the hundredth and last track, but I thought to give way to a band I adore and that in my opinion is quite underrated.
