"The Blind Leaving The Blind" seems challenging, awkward and boring only to reveal itself as phenomenal on the third listen. Chris Thile... gathered four incompetent friends with the intent of bypassing bluegrass to head who knows where... but the result is unique.

"I can't recall a contrast between the two opposites (light and darkness, good and evil) so poorly handled in cinematics." "An insult to all those who love cinema. That's what 'The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising' is."

"An insult to all those who love cinema. That's what 'The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising' is."

"Our Favourite Shop" is perhaps what best represents that cultural-musical mood of the mid-80s. Songs of such strong political and social commitment managed to also climb the charts: from the 'top' it was still possible to send a 'shout.'

It is not a low-grade show where adult men fight for the sole purpose of proving who is the strongest, because this is only the mask of a discipline based on the mythological-ritualistic representation of Pain and Suffering. If we want to understand wrestling, we must first preliminarily understand the anthropological context, the 'community form of life,' within which an interaction takes place between two or more people.
