Midnight and one minute. Little sun, lots of darkness (of course, it's night!). Down in the cellar of De Baser some strange noises can be heard.
Some debaserians have gathered secretly for a reason that to most might seem futile and absurd, but to true doc debaserians, it is anything but futile and absurd.
Damn, there are 50 reviews for Eminem, at least 80 for Oasis, and only one appears for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." We need to fix this, make a new one, and then make another, and then yet another. Sure, sounds simple. But who, I say who, I emphasize who, is going to do it? Who?
The debaserians consult, the task is arduous and demanding.
Mantaray: "It's not my favorite Beatles album"
Ziabice: "What can I say... Beatles never really caught me, let's just say I agree with Scaruffi's 'against' stance: http://www.scaruffi.com/vol1/beatles.html"
PuntiniCazPuntini: "Scaruffi's positions are an enlightening example of what it means to be a jerk"
El Guevo: "I didn't understand much"
Frantz: "But was the famous girlfriend John Lennon's or Julian's?"
Ziabice: "What can I say"
Punisher: "I think it sucks, damn fucking shithead stupid assholes disgusting drooling bastards"
Giuseppe: "Scaruffi gave 7 to the first Aqua album, I think that's enough to understand the character"
Cece 65: "There's no need to open any post about Scaruffi, he's been talked about in DeBaser for quite some time in almost all Beatles reviews, and it seems to me that it's been well highlighted that his is a way of positioning, before any group, as someone who wants to be alternative at all costs, at the risk of writing massive bullshit and making a fool of himself"
Bogusman: "Depends on what point you analyze the work"
Hal: "I imagined a response like that"
Odradek: "Ah, the Beatles! Such lovely skirmishes there could be, so much at stake!"
El Guevo: "Magic, that's what this album is"
Frantz: "The Beatles album I prefer above all!"
Marmist85: "I only save 'Sgt. Pepper,' 'Lsd,' 'With a little help,' and 'A day'... The others are mediocre". Mangoni: "Read what Sterling Morrison thought of 'Sgt. Pepper's' and then tell Scaruffi to go to hell"
Boredom: "Someone will eventually open a forum on the Scaruffi topic"
Punisher: "I think it sucks, damn whore stupid bastards son of a bitch damned pigs"
Hal: "And you, what do you say? Nothing I guess"
Odradek: "I’ll take my leave by repeating myself: every Sca(r)ruffone is beautiful to his mom"
Psychopompe: "It's a fact that without the Beatles and the Kinks, American garage at the time (not all of it, of course) wouldn't say it wouldn't have been born, but it would have been a less significant phenomenon"
Bogusman: "Sorry, but it was precisely in the era of Zappa and Red Crayola and Velvet (let's say '66-'67) that the Beatles started to offer their psychedelic experimentation"
Psychopompe: "I'm not interested because their psychedelia would have been different from the American one anyway".
Ziabice: "What can I say?"
The tension was palpable. The conversation risked stalling and ending with no real shared or shareable decision. Everyone stands up. They leave. At a certain point, however, Punisher raises his head and exclaims:
"I think it sucks, only a stupid bastard jerk could review this crap".
The words echoed like a trumpet blast in the damp and chilly air of the very sad debaserian cellar. It's not a coincidence that the review of this album (which I didn't manage to do in time) ended up in my hands. Don't you think?
