+ A new government
+ A different government
+ No daily bullshit -like discussion on every possible media
+ The accent posed on equal opportunities
+ A serious image to present abroad
+ a huge indirect popular support registered

- a bunch of not elected technocrats
- a bunch of ministers looking for the support of the same bloody parties
- a bunch of defendants of free market philosophy at (almost) any cost
- only three women out of 18 nominees
- a change that bypassed the parliament, whatever bad it might have been



+ The chance to play some jazz records any time soon in Neukölln
+ A night jam session
+ A beautiful plan for NYEve
+ Tickets for Radiohead´s

- A shrinking number of proper Italian friends
- A limited accession to optimism
- The indifferent silence of clouded people
- The absence of an alternative job so far

There is something profoundly wrong about the way people inside the italian PD discuss about fried lies and so may others from the civil society and the media try to get a sense of a senseless and awkward discussion.

The article by Luca Sofri on the Ilpost is a good piece...why am I writing in English I have no idea myself....maybe because I hope more strangers read this tiny blog....

Sun Kil Moon - Admiral Fell Promises (still in my top 20 for the albums of my 2011 year)
A song called Prairy Dog Rample by Andy Schroder (I believe I always knew the song but it definitely not true: that would be the perfect opening track for my radio program: which might one day come true)
