Last Night

The Pleazers - Hurtin' All Over

#garagedintorni (84/1)

And sometimes a little backflip is mandatory… certainly not for those Nobilissime tens of thousands of garage-beat bands with one or two splendid 45s and that's it, gathered in the Nobilissime Pebbles, Nuggers, Back from the Grave, and dozens/hundreds of Various… but someone more specific, perhaps with an album or various singles collected… not so lucky back then… from Brisbane with the natural influence of Bitols, Animals, Manfredi Mann, Kinks, and all the early arrivals of the British Invasion… it’s known that six months then felt like five years. See you later… these sound "of everything" here a garagefuzz and a melodic beat…
 
BLACK MOUNTAIN "SET US FREE" And then it happens that during your lunch break, you find yourself alone, in the middle of the lake, with your canoe and an unrealistically flat mirror-like surface of water, and from your phone, as if by magic - to seal the magic moment - one of those songs that brings you pure joy starts playing... And there, in the beta solitude of your little boat, you enjoy it and contemplate the sky, as if there were no tomorrow.
 
The Pleazers - Bald Headed Woman (1965)

The Pleazers - Poor Girl (Where Did You Sleep Last Night)

During a notable period of "welcome back losers" - I admit I was no longer into it - I listened to, (re)discovered garage bands made of soul and blood, with, as per usual, the most diverse 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 "fuck your virtuosic and lightning-fast scales and your fucking four-octave vocal range." Since 1990 onwards, with some revivals of old relics, savansadir.

And sometimes a triple backflip is mandatory… not certainly for those Noble thousands of garage-beat bands with one or two splendid 45s and out, collected in the Noble Pebbles, Nuggers, Back from the Grave, and dozens/hundreds of Various... but rather someone more specific with perhaps an album or various singles collected... not so lucky at the time... from Brisbane with the natural influence of Bitols, Animals, Manfredi Mann, Kinks, and all the early arrivals of the British Invasion... it’s known that six months back then felt like five years. Talk to you later… these guys play “everything”…

Ride Between the Cars

#forwhatitsworth2023

16 songs for just under half an hour. 14 are reworked adaptations by Juniper and dad Michael, along with many friends who also lent a hand in this second album, tailored perfectly for Juniper. Everything is really nice, but the signature "Ride Between the Cars" in 1'46" leaves me no escape.
 
Broadcast - Come On Let's Go
fantastic, initially judged as just another of the many imitators of Stereolab, instead had much more to say.
 
Streetgang (It Really Hurts)
Richard didn't mess around as a solo artist.
 
Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet 1974 Video Sound HQ

November 1974.....who's at the top of the US 45 RPM chart?

The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
A few decades ago - or maybe just yesterday - I was stopped by the carabinieri, at about this time, while I was calmly listening to this song; registering a blood alcohol level of 3.86.
Astonished that I could still stand, they had no choice but to seize my car and revoke my license for two years.
Just now the same thing: twenty minutes ago from when I'm writing.
"I'm screwed, I think."
I remember drinking half a liter of ribolla, plus four shots of Merlot, a beer - interspersed with a Wiener Schnitzel, in my favor but not counting the Schnapps Aprikott as a cover - and three Glen Livet + a terrible watermelon vodka offered to me by the unfortunate barmaid.

"License and registration."
Well, what the hell can you say to that!

She - a woman thanks to the Dèe - once she checked the documents says to me: "GO!" Just like that, in uppercase.

I want to marry her!

Robbie Robertson - Somewhere Down The Crazy River (Official Music Video)
This - I don't know if produced here by the Archangel - played with "The Band," a group that not only accompanied Roberto Affittacamere but also distinguished itself by being the actual protagonist of that little movie by Martin Scorsese called "The Last Waltz."
Look at his childlike eyes, knowing that the era of free drugs had already ended before it even began.
Look at that disillusioned Native American gaze that knows his land was not discovered, but invaded.
Let's hold on, DeBasici!
We are here. Like it or not!
