Ultravox Ha! Ha! Ha! • by luludia

Obviously it's not Ultravox, but Ultravox!…The exclamation point is very important and it seems to be a tribute to Neu!

Omero Iliade • by Armand

Sing to me, O Goddess, of Achilles' hair
that he cut every morning with a
old and broken razor, and for
the pain he pissed himself!

Rainy Day Rainy Day • by luludia

If you want a bed of roses you have to learn to sleep with the thorns” (quote from I don't remember what, perhaps a movie)...

Wolfgang Groos Nonni alle prime armi • by bastoncinoverde

Small bourgeois comedy with a Teutonic twist, very politically correct; only, I must add, it's quite distressing to see Sukowa in such predicaments again.

Fabrizio Ferraro Quattro notti di uno straniero • by bastoncinoverde

I loved this alienated and alienating film, mysterious, oblique, and minimal; practically nothing happens, there are no dialogues, only background noises, a stunning and distressing black and white photography, a lesser yet true and vibrant Paris, and a love comme il faut, what else?

Hiroshi Yoshimura Soft Wave for Automatic Music Box • by asterics

Like soft, fluffy strips of unrolled paper, automated rustles that don't disturb sleep.

Thrill at the Finish

Nina Nastasia Riderless Horse • by Annette

About love and the importance of always carefully covering the floor with newspapers and masking tape before any masonry/painting work.

Nicolas Jaar Space Is Only Noise • by CosmicJocker

It's like the opening sequence of Altman’s "The Player" where each character - even if just for a few moments - managed to capture attention with something distinctive given to them alone.

The Gun Club Mother Juno • by Rowland

It only took one look to understand that Jeffrey Lee Pierce would not die of old age. A dissolute and darkly poetic spirit, dominated by alcohol and drug addiction, with a face like a suburban Marlon Brando, Jeffrey Lee sings in “For the Love of Ivy” “You look like a…

Flavio Giurato Marco Polo • by RamirezAlHassar

Like a clot of honey at the bottom of an herbal tea made with thistle, dandelion, and artichoke.
Better yet, like a date at the bottom of a bitter coffee.

Vladislav Delay Entain • by CosmicJocker

Exasperated exhalation, wide eyes and neck turning to the left. Unfailingly to the left.

Valentino Zeichen Poesie (1963-2014) • by RamirezAlHassar

From serendipity I make my engine of life and during the journey, the curious and fleeting gaze turns to every shy gypsy that awkwardly appears at the roadside. "Il nome rimosso" by Valentino Zeichen is one of those who, once received the coin as a token of thanks, spits o…

Maria Grazia Impero Tu con la mia amica • by ZiOn

The seventy-third Sanremo Festival has just concluded with the victory of Marco Mengoni, a singer from Viterbo launched by X-Factor who had already triumphed in 2013 with "L'essenziale", a song similar to the one with which he claimed first place in 2023, a mix of screams and romantic woes tha…

Bettye Swann Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye • by Almotasim

Take a Doo Wop piece and turn it into Soul Music. But real Soul Music. Music of the soul, through and through. Only the soul takes the shape of the body, against another body. Blood carries it. It swells. It pumps the chest of the heart. Bettye initially whisper…

AA. VV. 2022: 13 most played songs • by Taurus

I spent more time checking out Rateyourmusic suggestions and reading reviews than actually listening to the latest releases. Few albums and songs left such an impression that they stayed at the top of my playlists throughout the past year (Suede - She Still Leads Me On, Editors - Picturesque, Fontaine…

Smog The Doctor Came at Dawn • by Galensorg

I don't know, maybe I'm masochistic, but there's a certain sense of satisfaction in basking in the darkest and gloomiest vibes of some albums when my mood is, indeed, overwhelmed by such vibes. There's something therapeutic in all of this.
