#BDMvsQuarantena 01 - LO SCHIACCIANOCI

uhm, dedicated to all the friends who have pressed them for me lately, enjoy it (the work I mean)
 
The Beach Boys - 'Til I Die
Every now and then I pick up a book that back in the first year of high school made you go down hard with a funnel, I don't even know why I do it: curiosity to see the effect they have at a time when everything seems pointless? Masochism? A challenge with myself? Who knows...
Anyway, I recently reread I Malavoglia, which at the time left me with the strongest sense of “struggle” and “grayness.” A feeling so intense that, for years, just seeing the green spine of the Garzanti edition stacked in the bookshelf would bring back those sensations and I'd steer clear.
Well, I was astonished to find myself captivated by the story, unable to wait for a moment of free time to continue reading.
Perhaps every reading must be approached at the right time, but I also feel like saying that there was something wrong at the time in the way students were introduced to these books.
Listening to it published without thinking too much, for no particular reason, just a reflection.
A song that has nothing to do with it, but conveys well my feelings from the last part of the reading.

Samuele Bersani - Lo Scrutatore Non Votante (Official Video)

"The non-voting scrutineer is indifferent to politics, he is quite keen to say, 'Oh dear!' but then doesn't get out of the car. He’s like a practicing atheist, sitting in church on Sunday, deliberately positioning himself slightly apart to dissent from the sermon.
He’s connected the printer but never sends a letter, he bought a paper shredder to get rid of the truth..."
 
Eggman "I'll Watch Your Back"
VOICE OF BOO RADLEY FOR AN LP THAT SMELLS OF BRIT/FOLK/POP AND BEATLES
 
Swervedriver - Electric 77 (audio)
99th Dream, often snubbed by many, I find to be valuable with its exploration of new musical paths, psychedelia, and refined melodies.
 
original sins - the party's over now

The Original Sins - Do It

In a remarkable time of "welcome back screw-ups" - I admit I wasn't feeling it anymore - I listened to and (re)discovered garage bands full of soul and heart, with, as per the usual, a variety of influences from beat to punk, from psychedelia to R&B - from power pop to folk, from rockabilly to mod, even soul and even hard rock. In short, the essence of rock and roll from true beasts to the wild scream of "screw your virtuosic and super fast bullshit scales and your fucking four-octave vocal range." Since 1990, with some revivals of old relics, savansadir.

#garagedintorni (71)

I had never heard of them. Two albums are not bad at all, actually. The rest will need to be explored.
 
At the end of September, Faust'O was spotted in some valley in Bergamo... Ingrandisci questa immagine alongside the famous drummer Marco Torri. Thankfully, he cut his hair. Non mi pettino mai
 
Negrita - Transalcolico
Years ago, the soundtrack of my existence: it represented me perfectly.

Povia - Luca era gay (official video)

"Luca was gay and now he’s with her
Luca speaks with his heart in hand
Luca says "I'm another man"
I didn't go to psychologists, psychiatrists
Priests or scientists
I went back to my past
I dug deep and understood many things about myself..."
 
Paolo Pietrangeli - Mi Porti Due Gassose

Yesterday, Guzzanti unlocked a memory...
 
Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) (Moreno J Remix)

Totally shaken by the Roar of the Rabbit, let’s dance!
