Those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it. Rene Descartes, Discourse on the Method
Lo so che parlo perche' parlo ma che non persuadero' nessuno; e questa e' disonesta' - ma la rettorica mi costringe a forza a far cio' - o in altre parole "e' pur necessario che se uno ha addentato una perfida sorba la risputi". C. Michelstaedter, La Persuasione e la Rettorica
Under a darkening sky / The night is falling down on me / And I'm thinking that I should / Head on home / Been gone too long / Leave my roaming M. Knopfler and Emmylou Harris, Beachcombing
The Who’s Who are You is one of the most marvellous rock songs ever written.
No need to remember that it was used (and it’s still currently) as the CSI Las Vegas main theme.
One of my own design-sets was inspired by this great song too; take a look here: Who Are You?
Morrissey’s The Public Image is an awesome but less famous song available only in You Are The Quarry (the Extended Version one).
Ironic and sad at the same time, like most of his sons, the lyrics and music flow exceptionally tied together. A sense of peace and tranquillity pervades the whole piece as long as it goes near to the end… and when the silence arrives? Well, you can do nothing more than start thinking about what you’ve listened!
This is his own style, more than simple music, more than simple words: philosophy!
Slowly coming back…
starting at mid-December and going up to mid-January the Annual freezing is approaching to the end right now.
I’ll be here at full throttle during the next days.
I’ve already started to privately reply to messages so please be a little more patient and you’ll receive my own feedback. All and everyone will be processed as soon as possible.
It’s well known my own predilection for Mark Knopfler’s great music.
This time I’d like to share Speedway at Nazareth (from his second solo record Sailing to Philadelphia).
It’s an intense piece of music, especially when live played, and the last minutes spread so much energy: Mark playing his own style, the fast rolling drum, moving bass line plus the Hammond that adds some additional arabesques.
A powerful stream of notes enclosed in a perfect and elegant sequence!
This is the final part of the song played live at Royal Albert Hall (30th May 2005).
I really don’t have enough spare time to look at all the fancy SPAM comments and pings that come floating here in the queue.
I’m really sorry if some proper comment or ping will be trashed but I’ll completely clean the queue: you know that “Delete All Spam” magic button.
I’m going to click it every time I’ll be back at my Dashboard.
So if you don’t see your contribution appear here then contact me directly and I’ll decide if I can set you as a trusted one.
Then… thanks a lot for all the bombing SPAM you guys still continue to post to the stopping queue of this blog!
Is this good?
Do you like to send useless stuff?
Are you happy?
Are you proud?
Just saying to myself: “Go to hell, you all… idiotic guys!”
I Want To Go To The Beach is a great new song by Iggy Pop released in the new PRELIMINAIRES record.
It’s a meditative and soft piece guided by a sliding guitar and the piano while the lyrics flow, opposed to the music as everyone could expect, pouring out of the peculiar Iggy’s rude style. The world as it really is!
Raw Power is the third album by American rock band The Stooges, released in 1973. Raw Power was largely ignored upon its release, and the group broke up in obscurity a few years later. However, it was embraced by a small, rabid fan-base that included many younger musicians who would go on to help create the punk rock genre in the mid- to late-1970s and experience commercial success, making Raw Power one of the most important proto-punk documents of its era.
intervista sulla città le promesse, le illusioni, le occasioni perdute
le sfide per il futuro
di Marcello Orlandini e Carmine Dipietrangelo
“Intervista sulla città”, dell’editore Hobos Edizioni, un libro dedicato alle sfide che attendono la sinistra riformista nei prossimi mesi e nei prossimi anni a Brindisi, ma che offre anche un ricostruzione essenziale degli anni tra il 1997 ed il 2003 basata per la prima volta non sulle carte processuali, ma sui verbali dei consigli comunali e su tutto ciò che le cronache politiche hanno prodotto nei passaggi più importanti di quel periodo.

“La Consulta: e’ illegittimo, serviva legge costituzionale La bocciatura portera’ alla riapertura dei processi a carico del premier
La Consulta – secondo quanto appreso dall’ANSA – ha bocciato il ‘lodo Alfano’ per violazione dell’art.138 della Costituzione, vale a dire l’obbligo di far ricorso a una legge costituzionale (e non ordinaria come quella usata dal ‘lodo’ per sospendere i processi nei confronti delle quattro più alte cariche dello Stato). Il ‘lodo’ è stato bocciato anche per violazione dell’art.3 (principio di uguaglianza). L’effetto della decisione della Consulta sarà la riapertura di due processi a carico del premier Berlusconi: per corruzione in atti giudiziari dell’avvocato David Mills e per reati societari nella compravendita di diritti tv Mediaset.
La decisione della Corte Costituzionale di dichiarare l’illegittimità del ‘lodo Alfano’ é stata presa a maggioranza, secondo quanto apprende l’ANSA da fonti qualificate. Il ‘verdetto’ della Corte costituzionale sarà ufficializzato a breve dalla Consulta con un comunicato.”

Well, I’m still working under the surface on the blog software; far than perfect to my personal appeal both in therms of look and functionalities.
So this is a little small and silly post! Or not?
What I’m thinking about?
A better “Search” function (up right on every page/post) is now available; you can search and find quite everything I’ve published cos it includes full contents scan of tags, categories, pages, posts comments and posts authors at the same time.
Great Live version of an amazing song… and… take a look at the three solos (short near 02:26, short near 03:32 and long near 05:08 to the end) cos they really deserve!
