Misery is a Butterfly - Blonde Redhead

I walked back from work in the cold..this album describes almost perfectly the feelings I had...such an amazing collection of songs!

I am doing very fine lately, I miss a bit the funny side of life though...

I went to the TVOTR´s gig yesterday: they are definitely the most interesting band I have seen lately...really really cool...I guess I just found the vocals kind of worse than expected...

The day before yesterday I saw Fleet Foxes...well, nice but probably a bit overrated by myself in the first place...maybe we have to wait until the next album...

I am in love with a band called Grizzly Bear. The LPs cost already so much, damned...

I am waiting for a reply from a mail I sent Sunday...

I wish you a good week

Der Goldene Hahn

There are always those who like it a lot and those who don´t...

As if I only played T. Waits, all the time...

Perché in Italia non ne parla piú nessuno, per dio?!

Anthony

I need another place.
Will there be peace?
I need another world.
This one’s nearly gone.
Still have too many dreams.
Never seen the light.
I need another world.
A place where I can go.

I’m gonna miss the sea. I’m gonna miss the snow. I’m gonna miss the bees. I’m gonna miss the trees. I’m gonna miss the sound. I’ll miss the animals. I’m gonna miss you all.

I need another place.
Will there be peace?
I need another world.
This one’s nearly gone.
I’m gonna miss the birds.
Singing all these songs.
Been kissing this so long.

Another world. Another world. Another world. Another world…

Another small big scandal

Roberto Saviano was supposed to participate yesterday or the day before to an event in Berlin...exactly as last year happened - I found out by myself today too - he could not come and assist to the premiere of a theater piece on Naples auf Sicherheitsgründe...that means because of security problems...
I hope that next time (1) the German police either motu proprio or because of an intervention of the Italian Embassy/Institut of Italian Culture (what does the Italian governemnt say?) will provide enough security to a man, as old as me, who just thought he had to describe a world of injustice and ignorance, violence and enormous amount of daily symbolic and actual shit...(2) I also hope that Mr. Saviano will tell us soon which kind of security problems he has in Berlin.
To him all my esteem, and wishes to succeed in remaining a normal 28 years old interesting and interested Italian guy...once more.

News from Czech...

Colourful, well I can say it is sometimes...but playful as well...hm...

With the same sounds of feathers falling on mattresses, my thoughts slowly turn in circles..."Der Weltpresident" (so much bullshit on the German media auf einmal), Tolstoy and his anarchist tendencies, Ammaniti and his funny and weird first book, a story of cheating that never ends, the warmest Berliner November days of history...I sleep randomly, I wake up often and at the strangest times ever...I am busy in my mind and empty of small things in my soul...I think "do it yourself, share with others" is an awesome and right starting point...where are you though?

I am not sure Christmas is further enough to accomplish all the things I have to.
But I stay positive, like that old odd Streets´song

Travis - Ode to J. Smith (hmmm)
Anthony and The Johnsons - EP (Amazing)
The Felice Brothers - Ibid.
The Faint - EP (Oh My God 1.1)
Jack White and Alicia Keys - The Single (Oh My god 1.2)

Listening to italian radio ( not an indie one but anyway ) in the morning, while drinking the first coffee is such a nice moment of the day...even better if i could share it while somebody...
A good day to everybody...

It is a bit pretentious to talk all the time about the politics of a country I never visited...but I think it is also the right of informed people (or at least for those who want to be informed more than the average Idontgiveasheet citizen) to evaluate and express their opinion about political events in foreign countries...even more when decisions taken there, change in many ways the quality of everybody's life...

These last 8 years of American Federal Government seemed to have had elected the most provincial people to the most powerful posts, for the worse...as opposite to that, this last never-ending primaries and main elections, which lasted too long anyway, awoke my interests, encreased my knowledge of American social cleavages, issues, news report and geography as well...I am so relieved and truly happy to have B.Obama as President of the country that attracts me since ages but I never saw so far.

I am in Barcelona, listen to C. Evora and imagine that even if the roofs of Raval look exactly the same as yesterday, a small big day is taking place...
I will enjoy my coffee a bit more anytime soon then!

Kensington Blues & Co.

There is not a lot to say, that is probably why I listen to jack Rose and find it very beautiful.
I have been working too much, probably...
I ll be in Barcelona on monday morning for a couple of days...
I do not need vacation, actually, I need some tenderness and a bit of intimacy...

A nice week-end to the whole of you.
