I'm a Man [Full Length Album Remix by Savarese]
Yes, it's the famous COVER of the song by the great Stevie Winwood, done by Italians, Mauro Malavasi first and foremost in Bologna, then mixed in the USA, well-played that doesn't look too bad compared to the original and in fact, has become a classic in its own right, even though it's one of those records that "nobody knows who sang," not even me, it was one of many projects by Mauro Malavasi, a Bologna-based multi-instrumentalist, under false pretenses, here he chose "Macho" as the name of the singer, actually a bouncer from a nightclub in Rimini. Malavasi's best project was "Change," which were no less than Chic, they were a real group of musicians, with the great Luther Vandross as vocalist, discovered by them. Then there was the "Peter Jacques Band," which was purely image; the quartet, vocals, and music were always from Malavasi's cast and produced by him and the Italian-Guadeloupean Petrus, who was murdered in 1986.

Donatella Rettore – Diamonds Clubs And Spades (Extended Version) here’s a "provocation"... in 1985 Rettore made the theme for the Processo del Lunedi by Biscardi. One of the few danceable tracks in English by Rettore. Tonight I discover that the extended version was made 3 years later and I’m posting it. Great Rettore. This isn’t her best song, I know... but let’s put it on, because it’s not one of her hits after all.

Propaganda - A Secret Wish (Vinyl) Part 2 The only LP by the original lineup of Propaganda, it also received a "milestone" mention from ondarock, which is rare for synth-pop-dance-rock etc etc products from the 80s. The beauty of it is that at the time it went almost unnoticed; I remember a review giving it a score of 6.5 mainly for the 2 hits Duel and P-Machinery, but then in 2018 I discovered how beautiful the other tracks were, darker but more interesting than the 2 hits, even though the 2 hits are not trivial at all; they have their own meaning. It's a concept album, based on the famous Dr. Mabuse. It's a shame that the disputes with Trevor Horn, their producer, led to their breakup. But this LP has gone down in history, even without selling much.

The Philisteins-Teenage Dreamer

Hobart is at the ends of the earth. A place that serves as a haven for privateers and whalers, found more easily on nautical charts than on Google Earth. The adventure of the Philisteins starts there, in 1985. With all the luck a garage band can have in a place like that, which is perilously close to zero.

That's why, having scraped together some cash by self-releasing a demo tape, they soon decide to take the ferry to Adelaide. After reshuffling the rhythm section with the addition of Nick Bruer and Ian Wettenhall in place of the old “Tasmanian” friends, and after dealing with both a serious car accident and securing a contract with the local Greasy Pop, Guy Lucas and Aydn Hibberd are ready to launch themselves onto the market with their first release, initially planned as a four-track EP but turning into a mini album with double the songs, including a phenomenal version of You Must Be a Witch by the Lollipop Shoppe and three very old tracks by Guy, including the very first song ever written for the Philisteins and one of the most beautiful of their entire career: Bite the Bullet.

Even without receiving the same attention or enjoying the same fortunes as many celebrated Australian bands, the Philisteins contribute one of the most precious gems to the history of Aussie rock.

Bloody Convicts has that indomitable energy typical of bands from those latitudes combined with classic garage-punk scratches, and a track like Cul De Sac, where you might hear the Cynics played by the Celibate Rifles, could clarify the concept better than my words, just as the metallic serpentine of Apeshit Metal Locust might raise the eyebrows of purists and the dark waves of Peppermint and Early Morning Memory might let you savor the dense relish of the finest works of the New Christs.

Then the Philisteins will return to Tasmania. Then they will move to Sydney and then to Melbourne. Continuing to search for the pot of gold at the foot of a rainbow that kept shifting, without success. You, if you have the time and means, seek at least the silver coins they left along their journey.

Starting from here.

Enzo Jannacci - “Natalia” live RSI (1980)
When the Jannacci singer-songwriter and the Jannacci doctor meet

Natalia, your face almost the color of wax
Natalia, don’t you see the IVs they’re shooting into you
and you don’t even look real
and here we are in front of you with the nice green scrubs of American surgeons
Natalia, pretending to be perplexed
like every respectable professional does
but the wax reminds me of some of the white keys on my piano
Natalia, you don’t know that they need to reopen your chest
which is something that always breaks your balls
Natalia, Natalia, Natalia
Natalia, you’re only seven and you’re the daughter of a railway worker
the very one to whom the professor from Turin
asked for twenty million
well aware that in the worst case there’s always a fundraiser
and we're all fresh from taxes
that’s it Natalia
Natalia, you’ve realized that at the hospital in Milan
you’re number thirty-eight down on the waiting list
Natalia, with the valve in your heart placed the wrong way
yeah but these are things the song never says, huh
Natalia, you called me with the cadence of a businesswoman
my friend while she was playing in the hallway has passed away
- What did you say? - They say passed away but you’re a doctor?
So since I’m scared now I’m ditching these two idiots
father and social worker
you know they’ve already pulled twenty million in Turin
I wouldn’t want, I wouldn’t want there to be some other mess
and these are things the song doesn’t say either
Natalia with the comics, your mother’s sister,
the ice cream, the eyes outside the window
Natalia, who works might also make mistakes
but he really messed things up, too much mess
Natalia, you can’t know what bradycardia is
meaning everything is going to hell and so be it
Natalia who made him stop swearing
so someone could ask for help
maybe even to the Virgin Mary, oh maybe
Natalia, you’re leaving tomorrow, thanks for everything and so be it.

Girl, I've waited
I've waited night and day.
I haven't noticed the time,
I've waited half my life away from here.
There were plenty of invitations
and I know you sent me several,
but I was waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to happen.

I know you loved me.
But, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride
to stand outside my window
with your hunting horn and tambourine,
while I was up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to happen.

Ah, I don't think you would have liked it,
you wouldn't have liked being here.
There's nothing to do
and the judgments are harsh.
The teacher says it's Mozart
but it sounds like chewing gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to happen.

Waiting for the miracle
there's nothing left to do.
I've never been so happy
since the end of World War II.

There's nothing else to do
when you know you've been caught.
There's nothing else to do
when you beg for a crumb
There's nothing else to do
when you have to keep waiting
for the miracle to happen.

I dreamed of you, girl.
Just last night.
A good part of you was naked
ah, but some part was light.
The sands of time flowed
between your finger and thumb,
and you were waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to happen.

Ah, girl, why don't we get married,
we've been alone for too long.
Let's stay alone together.
Let's see if we've got the strength.
Yes, let's do something crazy,
something completely wrong
while we wait
for the miracle, for the miracle to happen.

There's nothing else to do
when you know you've been caught.
There's nothing else to do
when you beg for a crumb
There's nothing else to do
when you have to keep waiting
for the miracle to happen.

When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain
and they ask you how you are
you just say you can’t complain
If they squeeze you for information
that's when you have to pretend you're thick:
just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to happen.

The Doors - Crawling King Snake [HQ]

I am among the few "lovers" of the Doors who feels a sense of esteem and respect for Pamela, who was, perhaps in an even worse way, the object of a true media scavenging both in the three years "lived" after Jim's death and afterward...

Those three years were hell... only one book talks about it. One of my most heartfelt reviews... also because it was advertised zero, of course. Left there like a already dead body or, worse, a murderess.

The only cover of the album. After all, there are three, including Alabama Song, in the entire studio discography. It could only be a Blues.
