Midge's Late Night TV Set Finale | The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel | Prime Video
Today is a terrible day for me.
I tried to stretch it out, dilute, and procrastinate watching the last season of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
But there was nothing to be done: the final episode has arrived.
The End, my only friend: a'il never lùc intu iòr àis eghèn.

It's pointless to explain (I HATE explaining) the sparkling dialogues by Amy Sherman-Palladino - already beloved in "Gilmore Girls," which unfortunately was translated in Italy as the desolate "Una mamma per amica" - nor the paroxysm of talent from a stellar cast, nor a script that runs like a Swiss clock, nor the evocative locations and the delightful outfits.

It begins in the early fifties, a period I associate with the carefree flourishes of Fred & Ginger, musicals, pure entertainment shows, that America that knew how to do these things divinely, with elegance.
Then, through a series of never didactic flashbacks, we arrive at the eighties.

The most beautiful series I have ever seen ends here. Just like that. Without violence, shootouts, sex unless implied; which is more exciting than a thousand Porn Hub.

Two "Ah"
1) Yes, I know my feminine side is predominant, but I've never done anything to hide it.
2) Yes, I know this might seem more like a review than a watch, but this way I avoid the infamous DeBasiche stars, capable of instilling fear in anyone with less than four fingers of hair on their stomach. Pciuck!
 
Afghan Whigs - What Jail is Like

Today marks the thirtieth anniversary of the coolest album of the 90s. A proper shoutout to Trellheim, who reviewed it here.
 
Blue Zone - On Fire • TopPop
Lisa Stansfield is here.
 
Keel - Till Hell Freezes Over
Always cool the old heavy 80's between speed and US metal...
 
The Tunas - Au...GoGo (Full Album)

In a remarkable period of "welcome back dramas" - I admit I wasn't into it anymore - I listened to, (re)discovered garage bands with soul and blood that, as a rule, have 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 ’n’ roll from real beasts to the wild scream of “fuck your virtuosic and fast scales and your fucking four-octave vocal range.” From 1990 onwards, with occasional revivals of old relics, savansadir.

I literally knew nothing about Italian music. These guys have made two beautiful albums. BOLOGNA. One more raw, the other a bit more refined. Here I’m betting on “ISABELLA,” dear @[macmaranza].
