Giorgio Moroder From Here to Eternity • by Dislocation

The inane god of twilight, bored, motionless, basks under the pearl-colored, delightfully cold sun of the solar system we call Kepler 11 and they name "Vrelkdskts," unimaginably far from us in the constellation we have named "Swan" and which they, the inhabitants of those worlds, for one of those coincidence…

Coil The Ape of Naples • by Cervovolante

"The Ape of Naples" by Coil is an experience that transcends the very concept of listening to become a mystical journey through the depths of the human soul and beyond. The title "The Monkey of Naples" refers to how the two baptized some characters from gay porn tapes from …

Pearls Before Swine The Use of Ashes • by luludia

The first time I listened to "The Jeweller," I was stunned; the second time, I felt like a child; and the third time, I sang while butchering the words, partly because I didn't know the lyrics and partly because it felt like a magical spell.

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!

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…

Eagles I Can't Tell You Why • by JonatanCoe

So clear and vivid in my mind that it could be yesterday, but 30 years have passed. My room, in my parents' house, I know it by heart in the dark. Even the words that that night seemed unknown to me, although I had been hearing them for twelve years.

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.

George Michael Twenty Five • by Abraham

He died on Christmas Day, and probably smiled. That sly smile, with a face begging for a slap of aristocratic beauty. He wanted to be alone, sought and claimed solitude: if he had been born in Italy he would have become Lucio Dalla.
