Dopo il tanto togliere ora la parola d'ordine è diventata: "aggiungere, aggiungere, aggiungere". Sam Beam, William Fitzsimmons e ora addirittura anche Justin Vernon. E pensare che proprio lui arrivava dallo sfolgorante debutto con 'For Emma Forever Ago', un disco che più intimo e minimale non si poteva: solo lui e i fantasmi di tale Emma dentro una baita nel Wisconsin innevato. Dopo tale successo di pubblico e critica (NdA: l'unico disco che si trova nella mia top ten del 2007, con l'edizione americana, ma anche del 2008 con l'edizione internazionale, peraltro identica alla precedente). Insomma, date le premesse questo self titled non poteva non essere uno degli album più attesi dell'anno e onestamente di tutte queste attese, almeno per quanto mi riguarda, credo ne tradisca davvero poche. Bon Iver volta decisamente pagina, pur rimanendo profondmente se stesso. Che non si tratti di un nuovo eremitaggio musicale, lo si capisce già scorrendo i titoli delle 10 tracce, per lo più tutti luoghi geografici, a volte anche storpiati nel nome. E' insomma un viaggio, ma essenzialmente interiore ed a tratti onirico. Ecco il suo è davvero un meraviglioso mondo colorato di sogni. A tratti direi addirittura Sufjano (e non solo nell'evidenza, anche del titolo, di 'Michicant') per il modo in cui nella sua musica fatta di chitarre, percussioni e pedal steel si sommano innesti elettronici, assolutamente non invadenti (curati dai &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Volcano Choir&lt;/span&gt;, peraltro), ottoni a tratti fiammeggianti (col sempre ottimo e visionario &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Colin Stetson&lt;/span&gt;) e finissimi arrangiamenti d'archi (a me, e non solo a me, così familiari visto che sono 100% farina del sacco di &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rob Moose&lt;/span&gt;, dei Johnsons). Il risultato complessivo è il delicato affresco che la copertina riesce a raffigurare perfettamente a partire dall'epica 'Perth', passando per la dolce 'Holocene' o la davvero profondamente johnsoniana 'Wash.', ma davvero sono pochissimi i passaggi a vuoto di questo lavoro. Il mondo di Bon Iver è davvero meraviglioso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;amp;username=birdantony" class="addthis_button_compact"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="addthis_separator"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=birdantony"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-3928792400370480283?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/3928792400370480283/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=3928792400370480283&amp;isPopup=true' title='20 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3928792400370480283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3928792400370480283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2011/05/il-meraviglioso-mondo-di-bon-iver.html' title='Il meraviglioso mondo di Bon Iver'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5027/5727883239_c8cf20cdb0_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-6419480359077071870</id><published>2011-05-09T09:55:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-09T10:07:30.029+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Tracce 2011 (Vol. VIII.

A cominciare dal fatto che qui viene confermato il sospetto che il signor Vedder sa ancora scrivere e cantare come pochi altri al mondo. Il dubbio fondamentale rimane però quello che ti chiede: "Ma come sarebbero queste canzoni con un arrangiamento compiuto?". Sicuramente parimenti belle, alcune più di altre, forse però lo sarebbero addirittura ancor di più. O di meno? Prendiamo 'Can't Keep', che apre il disco come apriva Riot Act. Bellissima scarnificata, ma forse priva del pathos che quella circolarità quasi tribale costruitale addosso dalla sezione ritmica dei PJ le sapeva donare. O saltando a piè pari tutte le altre tracce inedite, la conclusiva 'Dream A Little Dream'. Al contrario il classicissimo degli standard qui in versione intima e dimessa, a mo di ninna nanna sussurrata, diviene epico e sognante come nemmeno Ella o Louis seppero mai fare. Il dubbio insomma rimane. E a me rimane anche il tempo di citare le due canzoni 'Sleepless nights' e 'Tonight You Belong To Me', non a caso notturne già dal titolo come un po tutta l'atmosfera del disco, impreziosite dalle voci ospiti di Glen Hansard e Cat Power tra le gemme più splendenti di tutto il lavoro. Splendenti al buio della notte, ovviamente.&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: non metto alcun link, tanto fra pochissime ore lo troverete in tutti i migliori blog della rete! ;)&lt;a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;amp;username=birdantony" class="addthis_button_compact"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="addthis_separator"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=birdantony"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-9016553759751870442?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/9016553759751870442/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=9016553759751870442&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/9016553759751870442'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/9016553759751870442'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-dubbi-dellukulele.html' title='I dubbi dell&apos;ukulele'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ePMl4SFHgHw/TcBg2orXbHI/AAAAAAAACOQ/SlsIkv7OxtU/s72-c/UkuleleSongs.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-1672572016865939578</id><published>2011-04-29T08:42:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T09:59:11.380+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Trotta cavallino, trotta</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La recentissima registrazione di una session acustica su Daytrotter da parte di Bill Callahan m'ha rammentato il fatto che di queste piccole gemme musicali ne possieda ormai un numero spropositato (stavolta non mi possono dir niente, tanto sono in download gratuito! :D).

Peraltro l'unico vero e proprio inedito lo trovate anche su questa nuova playlist che comprende, straordinariamente, sia il lato A che il lato B dell'ultimo lavoro della coppia Oldham/Sweeney, ma davvero non sapevo proprio quale dei due pezzi scegliere, tanto sono intensi e bellissimi entrambi.

Sette affreschi intrisi di prosa purissima da ognuno dei quali potrebbe essere tratto un intero romanzo per quanto a fondo e dettagliatamente Callahan riesce a farti entrare dentro ad altre esistenze con poche righe di testo. Disco registrato in presa diretta, senza alcun intervento di post produzione, in cui vengono abbandonate certe, pur piacevoli, velleità cameristiche degli ultimi suoi lavori per tornare alla sonorità secca e tagliente dei tempi in cui il nostro era semplicemente Smog. Che infine qualcuno provi anche ad ingabbiarlo dentro le vuote scatole definitorie musicali. Folkman, crooner, indierocker, alternative singer-songwriter. Callahan non è niente di tutto ciò.

C'era una volta un tempo lontano in un mondo lontano. In quel tempo e in quel mondo alcuni giovani erano alla ricerca della libertà e di un futuro migliore. Parlavano e facevano del sesso, discutevano di uguaglianza, amore e Vietnam. E fumavano. Ascoltavano Dylan e si adornavano di pendagli floreali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://allthingsgomusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/alex.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 350px;" src="http://allthingsgomusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/alex.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In quel mondo e in quel tempo ci riporta il californiano Alexander  Ebert, già frontman degli Edward Sharpe &amp;amp; The Magnetic Zeros (più  che una band con 11 elementi, praticamente una comune hippie) al suo  primo disco solista. Tra Dylan, per l'appunto, e i Beach Boys in  versione acida, tra refusi disneyani e suggestioni morriconiane, il suo  folk visionario e fricchettone si dipana sghembo sopra percussioni  improvvisate (compresi i sospiri dello stesso Ebert) e incursioni blues  (old school, naturalmente). Il tutto senza perdere mai l'ispirazione fumogena e senza passi falsi all'interno del percorso (nonostante l'andamento poco sobrio). Disco assolutamente folle come il suo autore, per tornare una  mezz'ora in quel tempo e in quel mondo lontano. Ma anche no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/80u69f0Hixw" allowfullscreen="" width="400" frameborder="0" height="240"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="240" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R332WHCoUMg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --&gt;&lt;div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;amp;username=birdantony" class="addthis_button_compact"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="addthis_separator"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=birdantony"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-2001019495241036568?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/2001019495241036568/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=2001019495241036568&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/2001019495241036568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/2001019495241036568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2011/03/alexander.html' title='Alexander'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/80u69f0Hixw/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-3316494485253535006</id><published>2011-03-01T11:07:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-01T11:22:19.392+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Tracce 2011 (Vol. IV)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nelle puntate precedenti: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Akron/Family, Alexander Ebert, Antony &amp;amp; J.

Però non mi va nemmeno di partorirle dopo cervellotiche elucubrazioni o letture di altrui pensieri. E' un disco di pancia che s'ascolta con la pancia. E' un film a episodi sulla ciclicità della storia. Perchè la storia siamo noi. Noi con le nostre illusioni e le nostre speranze, con gli inganni perpetrati e quelli subiti, con le piccole violenze e le immense dolcezze quotidiane. Se esiste un senso nel lungo percorso dell'umanità, coi suoi vicoli ciechi e le sorprendenti scorciatoie, è che come nella fisica, nulla si  crea, nulla si distrugge, ma tutto si trasforma. Le nostre emozioni sono sempre le stesse, fin dall'alba dell'uomo ed è per mezzo di quelle emozioni che il mondo continua a girare. Allo stesso modo. Qualcuno, sono certo, dirà che Paolone ha smesso di guardarsi dentro ('Piccoli fragilissimi film', 'Le labbra') tentando l'improbo esercizio di universalizzare il suo sguardo. Non è così, cazzo. Può benissimo continuare a tendere l'obiettivo su se stesso. Dentro di lui c'è la stessa umanità che potreste trovare dentro di me, dentro ciascuno di voi. E non pensiate che la forza di questo disco si trovi unicamente nei testi, al solito lucidi e taglienti come una scure, perchè la musica curatissima ed ispiratissima è da sballo, fra tensioni cantautorali, rock ed inflessioni new wave e la sequenza 'Love is talking', 'Avanzate, ascoltate', 'Io ho visto', 'Andromeda Maria', 'Achab in New York' è qualcosa di talmente intenso e profondo da colpirti ed affondarti in un sol colpo. Ad un solo mese da 'Wow' dei Verdena, la dimostrazione che la musica italiana non è ancora affatto morta e gode di ottima salute nonostante Sanremo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kgWCX0Qsp4w" allowfullscreen="" width="400" frameborder="0" height="340"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --&gt;&lt;div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;amp;username=birdantony" class="addthis_button_compact"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="addthis_separator"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=birdantony"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-3179614386474359875?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/3179614386474359875/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=3179614386474359875&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3179614386474359875'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3179614386474359875'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2011/02/grande-robustissimo-film-episodi.html' title='Grande robustissimo film (a episodi)'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/kgWCX0Qsp4w/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-4089853253392291143</id><published>2011-02-16T10:11:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-16T10:14:11.127+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Un'accoppiata stupefacente!</title><content type='html'>Speriamo di ascoltarli venerdì, ma temo che la montalcini de noantri stasera sia a serio rischio eliminazione.

Da più d'un mese giaceva inerme dentro al mio iPod incurante delle parole dei miei amici, quelli fighi, che me lo sponsorizzavano ad ogni ripresa. "No, non è il mio genere", "Figurarsi se mi piace", queste più o meno erano le mie risposte. Poi è arrivato il voto di Pitchfork, che per carità da tempo non è più la 'bibbia', ma un loro 9 è comunque un loro 9 e allora mi sono detto, ok ascoltiamocelo. Confesso che l'impatto è stato piuttosto difficile e mi sono dovuto più volte autoimporre di non premere 'stop', poi però come solo la magia della musica (e poco altro) può fare pian piano ho cominciato a sentirlo davvero. Dico 'sentirlo' che non è affatto sinonimo di 'ascoltarlo'. M'ero riproposto di escludere dal pacchetto le manipolazioni, le animazioni sonore e le stratificazioni vocali che colorano la sua musica in modo da focalizzarmi solo sulla sua anima, quel soul venato di gospel e di intimismo cantautorale che miscela frammenti di Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone fino ad Antony. Però mi sono accorto che così facendo avrei commesso un grossolano errore. James Blake è l'ultima frontiera. L'androide che ha visto raggi B balenare nel buio fino alle porte di Tanhauser e il suo disco è l'opera postuma di Philip K. Dick. Prendere o lasciare. E alla fine mi sono deciso lo prendo. Lo farò risuonare lungamente al largo dei bastioni di Orione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oOT2-OTebx0" allowfullscreen="" width="400" frameborder="0" height="290"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --&gt;&lt;div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;amp;username=birdantony" class="addthis_button_compact"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="addthis_separator"&gt;|&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=birdantony"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-2484367760465897877?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/2484367760465897877/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=2484367760465897877&amp;isPopup=true' title='13 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/2484367760465897877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/2484367760465897877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2011/02/landroide.html' title='L&apos;androide'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/oOT2-OTebx0/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-4027954064000227990</id><published>2011-02-05T11:17:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-05T11:25:46.074+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>I pedali distorti che non ascolteremo mai</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Nel 2006 Vic Chesnutt aveva pronto il nuovo disco per la West Records. Si sarebbe intitolato 'Distortion Pedals' e sarebbe stato un disco inframezzato da interludi strumentali, arrangiamenti sintetici e voce 'trattata'. La West Records lo licenziò in tronco, se così si può dire, e il disco non vide mai la luce. Se da un lato questo fu positivo perchè Vic arrivò così alla Constellation Records dove nel 2007 creò quel capolavoro assoluto che è 'North Star Deserter', dall'altro è un vero peccato che quel disco non fu mai pubblicato.

O scrivere qualcosa su 'Under Streetlight Glow' di Heidi Spencer &amp;amp; The Rare Birds, dischettino molto caruccio uscito per la Bella Union, l'etichetta che lo scorso anno ci ha regalato Lone Wolf, Midlake e John Grant. Oppure quattro o cinque righe sul nuovo Iron &amp;amp; Wine, album di cui nel bene o nel male potremo leggere le jalissiane fiumi di parole nei prossimi giorni ad opera di più o meno tutta la critica internazionale. Invece ho scelto un disco piccolo piccolo che passerà per lo più sotto silenzio. 9 tracce per 30 minuti scarsi di musica. Un viaggio poetico nel deserto bianco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mbvmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/john-vanderslice-white-wilderness.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.mbvmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/john-vanderslice-white-wilderness.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Vanderslice è già all'ottavo album seppure ancora sconosciuto ai più. Il suo è stato sempre un lavoro certosino fatto di pop asciutto senza fronzoli inframezzato a decise virate verso il folk più rigoroso con tanto di testi estremamente politici. Sorprende quindi già prima dell'ascolto questo 'White Wilderness' quando leggi che è stato prodotto da John Congleton usando un'orchestra sinfonica di 19 elementi. Soprende anche di più quando cominci a toccare con timpano l'uso che di quest'orchestra è stato fatto. Non aspettatevi magniloquenze e pomposità, solo tocchi a volte gentili altre più ruvidi, ad addolcire ed insaporire il songwriting diretto di Vanderslice. Il risultato è un folk cameristico di squisita fattura, arrangiamenti comunque lineari e pulitissimi che ti accompagnano fuori dallo spazio-tempo senza nemmeno aver bisogno di qualcosa simile ai guizzi elettrosinfonici di Nico Muhly sull'ultimo disco di Sam Amidon. Ah, e poi ci sono le canzoni. La oldhamiana 'After It Ends' per voce e chitarra acustica è la prova provata di come sarebbe suonato il disco senza orchestra, '20K' e 'White Wilderness' acquarelli pianistici immalinconiti dagli archi, l'evidente omaggio a Nick Drake di 'English Vines', l'epicità delicata di 'Sea Salt' e la ritmica fatta dai fiati di 'Overcoat' e 'Convict Lake'. Un piccolo piccolo grande disco.

Oggi più che mai. Wow è un disco dal respiro internazionale, roba che farebbe strappare i capelli di tutti gli amanti dell'indie rock da Sidney fino a Brooklyn. 27 canzoni che scavano un solco tracciando la linea fra quello che c'è stato prima e quello che verrà dopo e non intendo solo nella musica dei Verdena. Il rischio quando si progetta e si esegue un'opera multiforme e multistrato come questa, con evidenti salti di ritmo e di intensità, è il manierismo di forma se non di sostanza. Loro però non cadono nel tranello e risultano assolutamente sinceri e coerenti fra gli ultimi rigurgiti di stoner rock e i nuovi arpeggi acustici visionari. E' un disco crudo a tratti rabbioso seppur depurato dalla furia grunge degli esordi anche quando vengono citati Battisti e gli Interpol ('Loniterp' è infatti l'anagramma).

La digestione è lenta, perchè il piatto è talmente ricco che straborda di grassi e carboidrati. La professoressa Boschero (a proposito &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;stasera ore 21:00 su Radio2 la 'nostra' intervista ad Antony, più uno speciale su 'Swanlights'&lt;/span&gt;) descrive 'The Age of Adz' come "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.. un'apocalisse elettronica per orchestra e nintendo..&lt;/span&gt;" direi in modo molto calzante.

Non che mi aspettassi disastri, ma di certo nemmeno questa piccola gemma astrattista. Antony racconta che il pezzo è nato in Giamaica durante le registrazioni di Volta quando sedutosi al piano e strimpellando  una melodia la stessa Bjork ha cominciato ad improvvisare vocalmente in una lingua che oscillava fra l’islandese e il completamente inventato solo per il gusto onomatopeico del suono dei fonemi. Di fatto la canzone è questa, dato che poi lui ha solo aggiunto la sua parte vocale, limitandola ai controcanti. E l’insieme ha in se qualcosa di magicamente arcano. Mi fa pensare al cabaret e a Weil/Brecht, magari però trasposti nel mondo degli elfi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Salt Silver Oxygen&lt;/span&gt; (8,5): Il grado di civiltà di una società non si misura attraverso le sue punte di progresso più avanzate, bensì nel modo in cui vengono trattati gli ultimi, i diversi. Una società che li emargina e li mortifica non può dirsi civile. No, non è il Vangelo, ma Antony ascoltato da queste mie stesse orecchie. Lui è anche convinto che il mondo sarebbe migliore se a governarlo fosse il femminino, inteso come sensibilità, visione e istinto procreativo. Elect the salt mother. E’ più che un invito elettorale è Cristo che si fa femmina, perché come maschio ha miseramente fallito. Ed è anche una cavalcata sinfonica di un Nico Muhly ispiratissimo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Christina’s Farm&lt;/span&gt; (9): E alla fine la circolarità delle melodie trova il suo concretizzarsi concettuale. Partiti con ‘Everything Is New’ ci ritroviamo alla fine del viaggio. “.. everything was new, tenderly renewed ..”, ma in realtà non ci siamo mossi neppure di un millimetro è il nostro spirito il vero viaggiatore, per mezzo degli stati d’animo che si sono susseguiti attraverso la consapevolezza di cosa si è, come si è, perché si è e dove si è. E poco importa che magari si è nella fattoria di Christina Chalmers (la mamma di Sierra e Bianca Casady) in Camargue, nel sud della Francia. Il luogo conta solo in quanto fattore d’ispirazione per vedersi con occhi diversi, occhi nuovi. E d’incanto tutto quello che ci circonda diventa diverso. Diventa nuovo. Sette minuti e venti di pura grazia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E’ di nuovo notte. Devo assolutamente mettere questo disco di nuovo dall’inizio. Ci saranno sicuramente passaggi, sensazioni e sfumature che mi sono sfuggite. Perché ‘Swanlights’ è un disco più consistente, eppure allo stesso tempo anche più intangibile, di quelli che l’hanno preceduto. Non so ancora se migliore o peggiore, questo sarà solo il tempo a dirmelo. Anzi lo dirà al mio spirito, che sotto forma di fantasma violetto, si libererà danzando alla luce riflessa dalle increspature dell’acqua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-8652641058077449725?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/8652641058077449725/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=8652641058077449725&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/8652641058077449725'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/8652641058077449725'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/09/le-luci-del-cigno-ultima-parte.html' title='Le luci del cigno (ultima parte)'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-3742822697638242136</id><published>2010-09-14T17:39:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-14T17:41:20.234+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Le luci del cigno (seconda parte)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Violetta&lt;/span&gt; (s.v.): 35 secondi di interludio neoclassico a richiamare almeno nel titolo La Traviata, un’introduzione  che non esiterei a definire superflua, anche perchè..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Swanlights&lt;/span&gt; (9,5): Eccolo il pezzo che aspettavo da anni. Qualcosa che portasse la sua vocalità su una dimensione oscura, magmatica, malsana, molto Scott Walker nella sua ultima trilogia. Già fin da subito fa capolino l’inquietudine col primo verso mandato al contrario, anche se non esattamente un messaggio satanico (tranquilli, dice solo un innocuo: “he’s everything”) e poi il pianoforte che si distende su un tappeto di droni elettrici, basso e chitarra che non accompagnano la melodia, ma creano un’atmosfera misteriosa a tratti claustrofobica sulla quale la voce di Antony, su più tracce audio, si dispiega in un recitativo cantilenante. Socchiudendo gli occhi quasi riesci a vederlo l’effetto della luce riflessa nell’acqua increspata che evoca il tuo spirito e lo lascia danzare ammantato solo della sua ritrovata libertà. Un oscuro canto sciamanico che accompagna ombre danzanti nella notte. Pietra miliare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Spirit Was Gone&lt;/span&gt; (8): Probabilmente l’unico pezzo dell’album, davvero scritto in una canonica forma canzone, cioè con una melodia che si dipana in strofe ed incisi crescenti. Ricorda molto da vicino, almeno musicalmente, le cose di ‘I Am A Bird Now’ con quella sua circolarità minimal-cameristica raddolcita dall’intervento, che si fa via via sempre più corposo, della sezione archi dei Johnsons. Siamo dalle parti di ‘Man Is The Baby’ e ‘What Can I Do’ insomma, eppure il testo ci riporta ad una nuova riflessione sulla dicotomia corpo/spirito presente in tutto questo nuovo disco. Delicato, seppur tendente al drammatico, affresco per stemperare la visionarietà inquietante della title track che l’ha preceduto e riportarci su ambientazioni più confortevoli e consone da parte del Nostro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thank You For Your Love&lt;/span&gt; (7,5): Come già capitato in passato, probabilmente è destino che il primo singolo si riveli la canzone forse meno riuscita del disco, ma ad ogni modo anche questa volta io la penso così. Non che il pezzo sia brutto in se e addirittura risulta in un certo qual modo anche funzionale allo sviluppo dell’album dal momento che aggiunge quel pizzico di leggerezza necessaria dopo la drammaticità delle due canzoni precedenti. Antony racconta di averlo scritto nell’ormai lontano 1992 appena giunto a New York, dedicandolo ad una persona specifica che gli stette vicino in quegli anni turbolenti, accompagnando la sua crescita umana ed artistica. Da qui la scelta di inserire nel video ufficiale foto e spezzoni di vecchie pellicole su Super 8 che lo ritraggono proprio in quel periodo e forse occorre proprio guardarselo il video mentre si ascolta la canzone per poterla apprezzare appieno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[CONTINUA]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-3742822697638242136?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/3742822697638242136/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=3742822697638242136&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3742822697638242136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3742822697638242136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/09/le-luci-del-cigno-seconda-parte.html' title='Le luci del cigno (seconda parte)'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-7630211479619551837</id><published>2010-09-14T10:56:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-14T11:00:07.329+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Le luci del cigno (prima parte)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Antony &amp;amp; The Johnsons - Swanlights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/antonycov452.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/antonycov452.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E’ notte. C’è una strana luce che si riflette nell’acqua, accarezzandone le increspature. Tutto sembra acquietarsi. Lo spirito si fa forza e fuoriesce dal corpo. E’ un fantasma di colore viola e trova la sua giusta dimensione nel conforto di queste luci magiche. Swanlights. Naturale prosecuzione di ‘The Crying Light’, al quale segue sorprendentemente, per i tempi del Nostro, dopo appena un anno e mezzo. Cambia solo la prospettiva nello sguardo dell’artista che è rivolto non più verso il mondo esterno, bensì indugia nei meandri della propria interiorità. E’ un disco molto spirituale, pur sempre laicamente parlando, è meditativo, pur non meditabondo. E’ l’affresco di un’anima d’artista e comincia con..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Everything Is New&lt;/span&gt; (8): Finalmente immortalato nella discografia ufficiale uno dei pezzi più suggestivi negli show degli ultimi 5 anni. Antony lo accorcia e sceglie la versione con la band anziché quella orchestrale e in definitiva fa bene perché non si tratta di una canzone. Non c’è strofa, ne inciso, ne tantomeno il testo. E’ una sorta di mantra, non propiziatore e nemmeno celebrativo bensì una semplice presa d’atto. Parlando di questo pezzo Antony dice infatti che non vuole affatto esprimere tanto il nuovo o il rinnovamento in se, bensì una sorta di mutamento dello stato interiore che cambia la prospettiva di ciò che si osserva. Un po come vedere l’esistente con occhi differenti. Tutto è nuovo, niente è nuovo. Un piccolo classico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Great White Ocean&lt;/span&gt; (8,5): Comincia nel fade-out della precedente e fin da subito salta all’orecchio che si tratta di una versione riveduta e corretta rispetto a quella ‘regalata’ due anni fa alle collezioni di Prada. Non rivoluzionata, ma in un certo qual modo asciugata e linearizzata. Gli sperimentalismi elettroacustici sullo sfondo vengono attenuati per far risaltare voce e chitarra acustica. E’ una litania dolce e terribile al tempo stesso. Un’invocazione ai nostri cari, mai dimenticati, ad accoglierci nel grande oceano bianco dove nuotano le anime alla fine dell’esistenza terrena. E’ anche una preghiera per il ricongiungimento e un’esortazione a non dimenticarci mai, invece di dirgli noi: “Non ti dimenticheremo mai”. Questa canzone a me commuove fin quasi alle lacrime. E non voglio aggiungere una riga di più.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ghost&lt;/span&gt; (9,5): Ecco che arrivano Nico Muhly ed orchestra sinfonica (che poi però torneranno anche più avanti) e siamo già ad uno dei vertici assoluti di questo disco, ma non solo di questo disco. Antony l’ha definita una canzone carica di gioia e di ottimismo. E’ un po l’espressione di quello stato che lui definisce le luci del cigno. Lo spirito viola che fuoriesce dal corpo sotto forma di fantasma e cambia pelle come un serpente. Si libra nell’aria curioso ed irrequieto per osservare e capire il mondo, quello tangibile e quello intangibile. La costruzione musicale poi la trovo sublime, con il pianoforte inquieto che introduce e inframmezza le soavi aperture sinfoniche degli archi. Un pezzone davvero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I’m In Love&lt;/span&gt; (7,5): Dopo tanta spiritualità ecco arrivare un pizzico di leggerezza introdotta da un giro melodico che ricorda un po il ‘fra martino campanaro’ se ci fate caso. E’ un Antony anche per la prima volta un pizzico psichedelico, tra flauti traversi, organo e percussioni improvvisate mentre celebra l’Amore, e anche questa a dire il vero è una novità per lui. Canzone gradevole che a me fa venire in mente i Fleet Foxes, un piacevole intermezzo prima di giungere ad un altro dei vertici assoluti del suo intero repertorio finora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

E sembra strano anche questo EP, come in parte vi avevo già scritto. Sicuramente non il suo migliore, ma probabilmente utile alla causa. Che poi sarebbe accendere i riflettori in attesa della vera 'bomba', quello 'Swanlights' che arriverà invece nei primi giorni di ottobre. 'Thank You For Your Love' e 'My Lord My Love' sembrano un po due spin-off rispettivamente di 'Fistful Of Love' e 'You Are My Sister' (basta ascoltare gli accordi del pianoforte, per capire il perchè! :D) e infatti sono due pezzi relativamente 'vecchi' (il primo accennato diverse volte nei concerti di questi ultimi anni e il secondo, già bonus track di 'The Crying Light' e ascoltato live per la prima volta addirittura a Jesi, 2004). 'You Are The Treasure' invece è una piccola nenia circolare e delicata, un lieder pianistico messo a disposizione di  una semplice ed innocente dichiarazione d'amore. E poi ci sono le cover davvero 'strane' anch'esse: un pezzo semisconosciuto di Bob Dylan e un altro invece ultraconosciuto di John Lennon, dove si passa alla chitarra acustica e dove c'è tutto l'Antony del prendere o lasciare. Noi, naturalmente, lo prendiamo ancora una volta, ma non ci stupiremmo se qualcun'altro invece decidesse di lasciare.&lt;br /&gt;L'EP, in attesa della sua uscita (solo in vinile, ma non ho ben capito se sarà solo in quel formato) il prossimo 30 di agosto da ieri sera viene regalato in digital download preordinando 'The Swanlights' nei vari formati (libro+cd; edizione vinile con duetto con Bjork; edizione cd, anche qui duetto incluso, etc etc..) sul sito &lt;a href="http://www.swanlights.com"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;www.swanlights.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ma ad ogni modo (solo per chi avesse già preordinato il disco precedentemente su amazon, naturalmente!!!) nei commenti, trovate un link..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-8338164056434662090?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/8338164056434662090/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=8338164056434662090&amp;isPopup=true' title='14 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/8338164056434662090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/8338164056434662090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/08/thank-you-for-your-love-ep.html' title='Thank You For Your Love EP'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-5898031771532958106</id><published>2010-07-30T10:10:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T10:44:54.373+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Nella batisfera</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;"Quando avevo 7 anni, sognavo di vivere in una batisfera". Che poi sarebbe una cupola di vetro immersa nelle profondità marine, e che penso in una sola frase possa descrivere benissimo il mondo interiore di Callahan, quello che poi si esprime nella sua musica e nelle sue parole. Al contrario però della mia retrospettiva su Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, questa volta non ho scelto una canzone per album, bensì mi sono concentrato sulla sua produzione più recente (diciamo gli ultimi 6 dischi con un piccolo tuffo nel passato relativamente alla simil title track), perchè credo che tutto il suo percorso a partire dal lo-fi estemo degli esordi in fondo sia stato finalizzato per giungere a ciò che è e rappresenta oggi. Un istant-classic, unico ed inimitabile. Bastano le prime due note di un arpeggio, che poi sarà ripetuto allo stremo di una perpetua circolarità o una lenta rullata di batteria introduttiva, ancor prima del suo cantato caldo e distaccato al tempo stesso, per farcelo individuare con indubitabile certezza. La accendiamo? Si è Bill Callahan in arte Smog, confermo!&lt;br /&gt;Restrospettiva musicale che ho articolato su due CD, il primo da studio ed il secondo live con il concerto del 2009 trasmesso da Arte.. en direct de la Route du Rock). Ah, nel file rar ho messo anche un pdf con tutti i testi delle canzoni selezionate, che Callahan è un altro signore per cui ciò che dice assume una valenza altrettanto importante rispetto al come lo dice!&lt;br /&gt;Insomma chi lo conosce già troverà in questa retrospettiva dell'ottimo materiale per un ripasso, mentre per tutti coloro ancora piuttosto estranei alle sue straordinarie canzoni un invito ad entrare nella batisfera. Sono certo che non ne resterete delusi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/1100/smog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/1100/smog.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CD1&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Bathysphere&lt;br /&gt;Feathers By Feathers&lt;br /&gt;Jim Cain&lt;br /&gt;Say Valley Maker&lt;br /&gt;Our Anniversary&lt;br /&gt;From The Rivers To The Ocean&lt;br /&gt;I'm New Here&lt;br /&gt;Dress Sexy At My Funeral&lt;br /&gt;Vessel In Vain&lt;br /&gt;Diamond Dancer&lt;br /&gt;Eid Ma Clack Shaw&lt;br /&gt;A Guiding Light&lt;br /&gt;Rock Bottom Riser&lt;br /&gt;Ambition&lt;br /&gt;Too Many Birds&lt;br /&gt;All Thoughts Are Prey To Some Beast&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CD2&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Our Anniversary (Live)&lt;br /&gt;Diamond Dancer (Live)&lt;br /&gt;The Wind And The Dove (Live)&lt;br /&gt;Too Many Birds (Live)&lt;br /&gt;Bathysphere (Live)&lt;br /&gt;Jim Cain (Live)&lt;br /&gt;All Thoughts Are Prey For Some Beast (Live)&lt;br /&gt;Say Valley Maker (Live)&lt;br /&gt;Eid Ma Clack Shaw (Live)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/409954216/batisfera.rar.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;download&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(rar pass:&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;almostblue&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-5898031771532958106?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/5898031771532958106/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=5898031771532958106&amp;isPopup=true' title='8 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/5898031771532958106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/5898031771532958106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/07/nella-batisfera.html' title='Nella batisfera'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-4752875240861742965</id><published>2010-07-27T10:17:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-07-27T10:20:17.325+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antony: retrospettiva'/><title type='text'>Immagina..</title><content type='html'>.. che piaccia addirittura a Joyello!

A me sembra un controsenso, che casomai la bonus track dovrebbe stare nella special edition. Ma a lui perdoniamo (quasi) tutto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da www.antonyandthejohnsons.com:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Antony and the  Johnsons will release their new album, “Swanlights”, on October 11th in  the UK &amp;amp; EUR via Rough Trade and October 12th in North America via  Secretly Canadian. Abrams Image will simultaneously release a special  edition of “Swanlights” which will include the CD inside a 144-page hard  cover book containing Antony’s paintings, collages, photography and  writing. The album only version of “Swanlights” on Secretly Canadian  &amp;amp; Rough Trade will include the song “Flétta”, a duet with Björk. The  album and book are a continuation of Antony’s work exploring his  connection to the natural world.&lt;br /&gt;While “I Am a Bird Now” is compelling in its vulnerability and “The  Crying Light” is a masterpiece of austerity, “Swanlights” may be  Antony's most wide-rangingly emotional work to date. It is a record that  is at moments heartbreakingly tender, and at other times has a joyful  gleam to its teeth. Unlike previous work, which was often quite sparsely  voiced, on “Swanlights” the vines in the garden are overgrown and the  sound palette has become more exotic; strange percussive elements, John  Cale-esque string drones, heavily distorted guitars and symphonic winds  and strings thread the song cycle together.&lt;br /&gt;“Everything is New” opens the album with a newborn piano melody that  quickly gathers in momentum and excitement. Strings and bursts of  percussion carry the song forward in a feral cacophony of sound. Later  on the album, the title track “Swanlights” finds us navigating a  primordial and hallucinatory world of hazy guitar tones. The enigmatic  layered melody of “Swanlights” emerges from a glistening soundscape. A  central image on the album, Antony explains what he means by the word  “Swanlights”: ”&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It's the reflection of light on the surface of the water  at night. It’s the moment when a spirit jumps out of a body and turns  into a violet ghost.&lt;/span&gt;” On “Thank You For Your Love”, Antony expresses a  soul-infused sentiment of gratitude, but the song progresses into  urgency, leaving behind the 4/4 rhythmic structure and breaking into an  emotional gallop that reveals an underlying pathos.&lt;br /&gt;The “Swanlights” book is a collection of thought-provoking paintings,  drawings, collages, photography, and writings. Dreamlike and often  bleakly environmental, Antony depicts a natural and spiritual world  under siege. Much of the work aches with a forlorn romanticism. In some  pieces, the artist draws together fragments of the past, the present and  the future to create a ghostly sense of omniscience. One image features  a portrait of the artist with his great grandmother’s face projected  upon his own, creating a ricochet through time and genealogy. Found  images of natural landscapes are stained with scrawls of ink, indicating  invisible presence and movement. Some pieces are more conceptual; in  “Cut Away The Bad”, the artist removes corrupted elements in an attempt  to restore balance.

Ad ogni modo non è esattamente un ascolto fresco fresco, allegro allegro, estivo estivo, seppure di grande musica sempre si tratti e l'unica controindicazione è che se qualcuno si trovasse momentaneamente in una fase 'blue', ecco, difficilmente riuscirà a risollevarsi con questa compilation! :) Ma bando alle ciancie..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i47.tinypic.com/1zyy1e1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://i47.tinypic.com/1zyy1e1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklist:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;01. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Blue&lt;/span&gt; - JONI MITCHELL&lt;br /&gt;02.

Questo tipo di operazioni mi lasciano sempre un po perplesso, nella fattispecie poi perchè si tratta dell'unico suo album uscito per una major e la cui ristampa fra le molte possibili è forse quella meno necessaria, se non artisticamente parlando almeno a livello di collezionismo. 'About To Choke' del 1996 (letteralmente 'Sul Soffocare') è ad ogni modo forse, e qui mi sbilancio, il suo miglior album pre Constellation Records. Disco intimista e prevalentemente acustico, dove però non mancano alcune folgorazioni di puro rock e qualche accenno vagamente psych. Tutto sommato perfetto per far risaltare con anche una certa violenza le liriche intrise di poesia in cui si alternano, al solito, disperato cinismo e delicati affreschi. Dalla dolcezza pianistica di 'Myrtle' fino alla crudezza rock di 'Giant Sand' qui c'è tutto il Chesnutt più autentico. E siccome però queste operazioni a me non piacciono, &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;nei commenti troverete i links per scaricarvelo loseless&lt;/span&gt; (senza nemmeno la compressione mp3), perchè in fondo allora preferisco il disco tributo, con tutte sue cover, che stanno preparando i Cowboy Junkies le cui finalità le trovo onestamente più sincere e meno orientate alla mera pecunia.

Ho sempre amato, fra la fine di maggio e l'inizio di giugno, specialmente le ore che fanno transitare il tardo pomeriggio nella prima sera. Diciamo l'intervallo di tempo fra le 20 e le 21 in cui il sole in lontananza ci saluta promettendoci nuove meraviglie nel giorno che verrà e lanciando i suoi riflessi luccicanti sulla superfice marina calma e appena ombrata di quel blu notte che sta per arrivare. Ogni tanto in questo periodo mi prendo una serata per passeggiare solitario per le spiagge frastagliate sotto il Conero ed è davvero una cosa tonificante, più per lo spirito che per il corpo a dire il vero. Certo per rendere tutto perfetto serve un sottofondo adeguato che in questo 2010 mi arriva dal primo disco di Redhooker, dal titolo perfetto di 'Vespers' (nella colonnina a destra anche un link per chi volesse provarlo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/vespers200.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/vespers200.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Redhooker&lt;/span&gt; è in realtà &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Stephen Griesgraber&lt;/span&gt; il chitarrista dei Johnsons di Antony, di prima che entrasse nella band Rob Moose, ma ad ascoltare l'album non lo diresti. Tranne un paio di sporadiche eccezioni infatti la chitarra rimane un elemento marginale rispetto al cuore pulsante della musica avvolgente di questo lavoro che rimanda invece (e non solo per il suo essere solo strumentale) a certe atmosfere dei &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Clogs&lt;/span&gt; e dei &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Balmorhea&lt;/span&gt; per l'uso del trio d'archi (capitanati dal violino di &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Maxim Moston&lt;/span&gt;, tanto per restare nei Johnsons) e del clarinetto. E' musica estraniante nel suo portarti in un universo ovattato e sognante, cancellando ogni traccia della frenesia dalle nostre vite di formiche impazzite in un mondo ancor più pazzo. Perfetto per l'appunto nelle passeggiate preserali di questo scorcio di fine primavera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-5587203712527512326?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/5587203712527512326/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=5587203712527512326&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/5587203712527512326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/5587203712527512326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-vespri-serali.html' title='I vespri serali'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-3183255853508299731</id><published>2010-05-28T11:51:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-28T12:13:48.301+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Diavoli, assassini, squali e cuori oscuri</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Volevo scrivere due righe sul sorprendente Jeffrey 'Luck' Lucas (una scoperta per me) e il suo nuovo album che potremmo dislocare spazio-temporalmente (sono ancora in febbre da Lost!) fra il primo Callahan e l'ultimo Cave, ma questo è un periodo in cui devo fare talmente tante cose che non mi bastano le 24 ore giornaliere (ieri mi son dimenticato anche di mangiare, tanto per capirci) e dunque devo soprassedere. D'altronde uno dei suoi pezzi sta però nella compilation di Giugno che a questo punto vi anticipo. Compilation che dopo le recenti abbuffate pop/melodiche/easy listening dal recente passato torna nel 'fil rouge' (anzi 'fil bleu'! :D) canonico. Sono andato nei meandri del mondo cantautorale alternativo e fra le ultimissime uscite ho perlustrato per voi gli angoli bui, gli spigoli dimenticati e ragnatelosi. Sono salito nelle soffitte cigolanti e polverose alla ricerca di tesori inesplorati e il risultato è questa compilation dai toni crepuscolari, lungo cui si dipana anche un sottile velo di inquietudine. "Devils, murders, sharks and dark hearts" è il 'sottotitolo' prendendo i temi di alcuni pezzi contenuti  nella stessa e che credo renda bene l'idea di che cosa vi accingete ad ascoltare. Io ce l'ho sull'iPod da un paio di giorni e vi confesso che è.. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;absolutely stunning&lt;/span&gt;!

Difficile anche perchè io ho sempre ritenuto Lost non un semplice telefilm, bensì il più grande TV show mai pensato, scritto e realizzato. JJ Abrahms, Damon Lindelof e Jeffrey Lieber sono dei geni assoluti, non ci sono dubbi al riguardo anche fra gli inevitabili alti e bassi (ovviamente i 'bassi' sono stati notevolissimamente inferiori agli 'alti') di questi 6 anni di sceneggiature e riprese anche perchè tutta la serie sarebbe dovuta durare molto di meno, ma la ABC ha imposto un allungamento del brodo della sua gallina dalle uova d'oro. Probabilmente se il tutto si fosse chiuso con la quarta stagione (come originariamente previsto) anche la storia sarebbe andata (e finita) in modo diverso e la genialità dei 3 la si può comunque soppesare grazie a queste imposizioni dall'alto. Lost, per tanti in tutto il mondo (me compreso) ha rappresentato 'un'esperienza' non semplicemente 111 episodi di svago, riflessione, commozione, avventura e divertimento e ora che tutto è finito la sensazione di 'vuoto' innegabilmente c'è. In giro per il web, fra spoiler vari, leggerete che il finale è stato ambiguo e che ha diviso i fans. Io non la penso assolutamente così e con me saranno certamente d'accordo tutti coloro per i quali Lost ha rappresentato 'un'esperienza' e non semplicemente un telefilm. Io credo che il finale sia stato degno, anzi degnissimo, un coronamento del tutto, l'apice della genialità! Certo qualcuno obietterà che non tutti i nodi sono stati sciolti, ma onestamente trovo giusto che sia così. 6 anni di flashback e flashforward, intricati misteri, salti temporali e misticismi elettromagnetici avevano reso la matassa praticamente inestricabile del tutto, ma la poesia (pura) dei 10 minuti conclusivi credo ripaghi abbondantemente le poche domande rimaste senza risposta. Sono 10 minuti che si rivolgono direttamente a noi 'experienced' più che ai normali telespettatori e che però dall'altro lato lasciano un epitaffio globale di pace e speranza. E' stato difficile anche per uno come me, che si emoziona molto difficilmente, non viverli col groppo in gola. E dunque se fra chi legge questo mio cazzeggio ci fosse qualcuno che non avesse mai visto nemmeno un episodio, beh il mio caldo invito sarebbe proprio quello di partire con il mitico Lost 1x01 (Episodio pilota) e sono più che certo che poi mi ringrazierebbe. Peraltro se non si volessero acquistare i DVD ho letto che quest'estate RaiDue (probabilmente quotidianamente, in seconda e terza serata) passerà tutti gli episodi delle 5 stagioni precedenti prima della sesta ed ultima. Un'occasione davvero da non perdere! Perchè Lost un po come 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' è fuori dalle mode e dal tempo (in ogni senso! :D) : un classico che è e resterà sempre attuale! E ora per chiudere in bellezza il mio sproloquio ecco un Damien Rice d'annata che Hurley ascoltava in cuffia in un finale d'episodio della prima stagione..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jLin_iLGfkA&amp;amp;hl=it_IT&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jLin_iLGfkA&amp;amp;hl=it_IT&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: Per chi invece si fosse arreso alla prima stagione (in questo caso sarebbero più intelleggibili) o magari per chi non gliene fosse mai fregata una cippa di Lost, ecco i 3 minuti finali di cui tutto il mondo parla in queste ore..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JH0DigVw1bA&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JH0DigVw1bA&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-5031739031767953325?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/5031739031767953325/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=5031739031767953325&amp;isPopup=true' title='13 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/5031739031767953325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/5031739031767953325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/05/la-fine.html' title='La fine'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i48.tinypic.com/33ll9gg_th.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-879344079687285923</id><published>2010-05-24T10:31:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-05-24T10:49:39.035+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Pop of the Tops Vol. III (2005-2006) con dedica..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ok, non c'entra nulla perchè il pezzo stava nel volume 2, ma lo voglio dedicare stamane al dottor Jack Shepard (tranqui, che fino a lunedì prossimo, data della messa in onda in italiano del finale di Lost non aggiungerò altro! :D).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F5Q_04EGGaE&amp;amp;hl=it_IT&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F5Q_04EGGaE&amp;amp;hl=it_IT&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ed eccoci invece al terzo ed ultimo volume delle compilation Pop, quello dedicato al biennio 2005-2006, grandi pezzi a mio modesto parere tratti anche da dischi che riscontrarono buoni risultati di vendite.

Mi hanno fatto pensare qualche tempo fa le parole di &lt;a href="http://borguez.wordpress.com/"&gt;borguez&lt;/a&gt;, in genere sempre ben misurate e calibrate, sul fatto di essere noi dei privilegiati perchè contemporanei di Callahan e dello stesso Oldham, come se le generazioni future potessero arrivare quasi ad invidiarci per il nostro esserci alle loro uscite discografiche e ai loro concerti. Non so se sarà davvero così, anzi probabilmente credo proprio di no, ma forse qualcuno fra 20, 30 o 40 anni  ascoltando una delle tante perle del nostro calvobarbuto preferito penserà che l'amore doveva essere stato davvero bello ai tempi di Will Oldham! Sicuramente lui è il più grande cantore vivente dell'amore, su questo non ci sono dubbi. Dunque ho provato l'impossibile impresa di una retrospettiva di 80 minuti (quelli canonici di un singolo CD) per permettere chi magari non è conscio della fortuna di cui parlava borguez comunque di tentare un approccio con le canzoni del principe. Ho scritto 'impossibile' sia per la sua gigantesca e polimorfa discografia in continua evoluzione, sia perchè ad ogni pezzo che sceglievo su un album ce n'erano almeno altri 2 o 3 che mi doleva il cuore lasciare fuori. Ho lasciato poi perdere tutto il repertorio pre-bonniano (quello a nome Palace, Palace Brothers, Palace Music e Will Oldham) se si esclude una delle due ghost tracks ed ho poi privilegiato alcune collaborazioni significative, cercando sempre di attenermi al tema principale cioè l'amore. L'amore e tutti i suoi derivati, piacevoli o spiacevoli. Perchè lui a volte prende le sembianze di uccello, lupo o pesce, ma sempre all'amore,  croce e delizia delle nostre esistenze, infine si giunge.  Poi il principe secondo me avrebbe bisogno sempre del testo a fronte per essere pienamente gustato che se il folk è un genere già di per se piuttosto verboso, lui spesso straripa in queste cose e le parole quasi sempre risultano importanti più di tutto, più delle melodie, più del fingerpicking, più del fiddle, dell'accordion e degli arrangiamenti, in generale e ancor più della stessa sua voce vibrante che si spezza commovente. Ho messo una frase sulla cover di questa retrospettiva, presa da un pezzo contenuto nella stessa e potremo prendere come metro di paragone 'Il cielo in una stanza' di Paoli, che il tema è esattamente lo stesso. Oldham però sta facendo l'amore con la sua donna e nella stanza appaiono le stelle come fosse anche li il cielo con '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;le nubi che fanno rumore&lt;/span&gt;' e '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;le costellazioni che sembrano atteggiarsi in pose erotiche&lt;/span&gt;'. Non c'è traccia del sogno e dell'idealizzazione del cielo in una stanza, il principe è soprattutto un peccatore carnale e non è affatto un poeta, ma un cantore dell'amore. Tanto che i Numero6 gli fanno cantare in italiano (pezzo anche questo incluso nella retrospettiva): "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Io non faccio poesia, verticalizzo e bado al sodo&lt;/span&gt;". Molto azzeccato direi! Ad ogni modo tutto questo verboso preambolo (decisamente bonniano però) per dire che oltre al file musicale ho preparato anche un booklet in pdf con tutti i testi di quello che chi vorrà potrà andarsi ad ascoltare o più probabilmente spero solo a riascoltare. Dunque ecco qua e con la certezza che molti  tra cui naturalmente Feelglass noteranno diverse mancanze, ma la qualità del repertorio tutto  è eccelsa e i minuti sono solo 80! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i41.tinypic.com/2wrofx5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

Intanto a quello di quest'anno (che peraltro ho seguito pochissimo, praticamente nulla) con la Sinfonia Sabiu nr. 7 e Hoppipolla dei Sigur Ròs, che arrivare fino in Islanda dopo il 'Perchè San Remo è San Remo' di baudiana memoria è stato comunque un colpo di genio.

Poi ci sono giorni come questo in cui ti arrivano addosso una serie di novità musicali, una più bella dell'altra e si rischia davvero l'overdose ;) Intanto ho aggiornato pesantemente la barra dei miei ascolti qua a destra (e chi volesse favorire non deve far altro che cliccare sopra il nome dell'artista) e in attesa di spendere due paroline su almeno altre due novità, non posso esimermi subito di descrivere anche solo sommariamente l'ultimo lavoro di quel pazzoide di Daniel Johnston!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i43.tinypic.com/2dkyc0l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2dkyc0l.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Praticamente un greatest hits con un paio d'inediti, ma vi assicuro che trattasi del greatest hits meno greatest hits che abbia mai ascoltato! Johnston si fa infatti accompagnare da un'ensemble orchestrale di 11 elementi (la Beam Orchestra) che rivoltano letteralmente come calzini le vecchie canzoni donando suggestioni e nuove chiavi interpretative. Ne esce un caleidoscopio sonoro che a tratti rischia di ubriacare per quanto strabordante. Arrangiamenti sinfonici che si sovrappongono a percussioni concrete, l'hipster rock da sbandati metropolitani che si alterna ad atmosfere jazzy e a ballate freak folk, più freak che folk per dirla tutta, popolate di un Brian Wilson che fa l'imitazione di Bob Dylan che imita Tom Waits! Grazie ad un Johnston mai così calante e stonato (che nemmeno Neil Young ai tempi d'oro!) il quale sembra appena uscito da un bar dopo una ciucca colossale. Disco che nonostante per lo più riprenda vecchie cose appare quanto di più contemporaneo ed attuale possa esistere. Disco per gli ex chairman della Lehman Brothers, per i nuovi senza tetto figli dei mutui subprime, per tutti gli sconfitti della crisi globale insomma. Disco interstellare, ma che dico, ultraterreno!!!

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nel lontano 1999 uno dei più bravi polistrumentisti inglesi e uno strano cantautore australiano in erba si trasferiscono entrambi a New York. Uno si chiama &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Spencer Cobrin&lt;/span&gt; (ed è uno che ha suonato il basso, ma anche la batteria, per Morrissey tra le altre cose) e l'altro si chiama &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Scott Matthew&lt;/span&gt; (ed è uno con una voce molto particolare e di cui si intravede anche un enorme talento nello scrivere). Il destino li fa incrociare e i due si trovano, si conoscono e si piacciono. Comincia un sodalizio non solo artistico con un primo EP di demo e poi con un vero e proprio EP di 8 tracce a doppio titolo di &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Elva Snow&lt;/span&gt;. Cobrin scrive le musiche e Matthew si dedica ai testi e al cantato. Ne esce un rock d'autore che attinge a piene mani da maestri come Bowie,  Ferry e lo stesso Morrissey, ma carico anche di quel pathos brumoso alla Stuart Staples (e i suoi Tindersticks) e con la voce di Matthew che si presenta già in quell'altalena timbrica così particolare che rimarrà poi il suo marchio di fabbrica. L'EP non riscuote grandissimo successo e così Cobrin tornerà nella sua Londra, mentre Matthew prenderà la strada delle torch songs venate di ambiguità sessuale e impressionismi cameristici che faranno innamorare John Cameron Mitchell il quale lo vorrà anche come comparsa fisica nel suo 'Shortbus'. Il resto insomma è storia recente. Però quell'EP è diventato nel frattempo merce rarissima e così la Glitterhouse Records ha pensato bene di rieditarlo in questa primavera. Non una semplice riproposizione però perchè i due per l'occasione si sono rincontrati nello stesso studio di registrazione newyorkese di 10 anni fa ed hanno aggiunto due tracce nuove di zecca. O meglio la prima 'Last Drink' fu  il primo parto del loro sodalizio e qui la troviamo completamente riarrangiata, risuonata e ricantata (una rock ballad coi controcazzi, direi con un francesismo) e la seconda invece è un inedito assoluto, 'Hollywood Ending' una meravigliosa litania piano e voce che non sfigurerebbe affatto in uno dei due album solisti di Matthew. Si, nevica davvero in questa primavera musicale..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fg6t78R8IOM&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fg6t78R8IOM&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NeIP0VC50mc&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NeIP0VC50mc&amp;hl=it_IT&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-3259996726475709878?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/3259996726475709878/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=3259996726475709878&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3259996726475709878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/3259996726475709878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/04/nevica.html' title='Nevica!'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-7410866683652707684</id><published>2010-04-28T08:33:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-04-28T08:44:52.430+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antony: retrospettiva'/><title type='text'>Letture autunnali</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.abramsbooks.com/uploadedImages/Books/9780810996809.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 410px;" src="http://www.abramsbooks.com/uploadedImages/Books/9780810996809.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il primo ottobre in contemporanea col quarto album arriverà anche il primo libro di Antony, dal titolo 'Swanlights' (esattamente come il disco).

Parimenti il primo singolo dal suddetto sarà 'Insanity is vaporous' (giuro che non sto scherzando, si intitola così!

La cosa come al solito mi irrita abbastanza, anche perchè io ritengo invece 'inascoltabile' il 99% della musica che imperversa in radio e TV. Mi sono anche ricordato dell'accenno di discussione con vinz e sr82 sul tema di qualche post fa e quindi esplicherei chiaramente e definitivamente il mio pensiero anche in questa sede. Credo cioè che la musica che ascolto e di cui parlo sul blog sia fondamentalmente pop o quanto meno 'easy listening' (altrochè inascoltabile!), proprio perchè fatta per essere 'pop'olare e dunque per essere fruita da tutti. Casomai il problema sta alla radice e cioè se si viene bombardati in continuazione solo da un certo tipo di musica (o meglio da musica fatta solo da un certo tipo di artisti, quelli delle majors, tanto per intenderci) è poi ovvio che solo quella risulterà popolare. Io sono certo che in un mondo perfetto dove a tutti coloro che vogliono ascoltare e acquistare musica potesse arrivare tutta la musica ascoltabile ed acquistabile i riscontri sarebbero molto diversi. E non ci sarebbe nemmeno più da classificare o catalogare nulla, tutto sarebbe pop e probabilmente molta musica che adesso viene considerata 'elitaria' diverrebbe molto più popolare di quella che adesso viene considerata 'di massa'. Ripeto, ne sono certo. Quindi per dimostrarlo ho fatto un test. Ho preso un pezzo ciascuno dai dischi che più ho ascoltato nell'ultimo anno e ne ho fatto una compilation che poi ho passato agli amici suddetti. Il ritornello sta già cambiando e da 'musica inascoltabile' sta rapidamente giungendo a 'però, quel pezzo li è davvero bello, ma chi è che lo canta? e quell'altro invece..' :) Insomma non tutto ciò che è pop è pop e viceversa. E la compi ve l'ammollo anche qua, che a dire il vero ne è uscita fuori una delle mie migliori di sempre, purtroppo (ma lo sapete già) non ci sono voci femminili sorry (però pullula di omosex!!! qualcosa già è! :D). E chi mi indovina anche a chi appartengono le 14 (delle 30) facce che ho messo sulla 'copertina' vince anche un ricco premio! :) Anche perchè non vi do la tracklist, ma solo i restanti 16 protagonisti della sinistra (come dice Silvio) compilazione e cioè: Midlake, The National, The Black Keys, The Irrepressibles, David Thomas Broughton, Delta Spirit, Castanets, Get Well Soon, Shearwater, Kill It Kid, Beirut, Inlets, The Decemberists, Sam Amidon, Guano Padano e A Toys Orchestra.

In onore della primavera che dovrebbe finalmente arrivare (si spera) ho accantonato dalla playlist le cose più 'estreme' e mi sono concentrato sul pop in tutte le sue accezioni. Anzi, non esattamente "tutte" perchè roba del genere LadyGaGa e affini difficilmente trovano udienza dalle mie orecchie sensibili, però era comunque giunta l'ora (anzi il mese) dell'easy-listening (ma non illudetevi troppo, perchè anche il concetto di easy-listening è soggettivo!). Anyway, si parlava di pop. Ad esempio quello strampalato dell'ultimo Mike Patton e quello classico coheniano della Gauthier. Quello raffinato di Grant e quello da MTV di Nozuka. Quello 'etnico' alla Beirut dei Bladzun e quello sinfonico degli Horse Feathers. Quello stralunato delle Cocorosie e quello sotterraneo di Michael Gira. Quello italiano degli A Toys Orchestra e quello islandese di Jònsi. Quello un po da hipster di Bigott e quello un po hippie di Damien Jurado. Quello molto 'Scottwalkerantoniano' di David Thomas Broughton  per finire a quello tutto midlakiano (come non poteva essere altrimenti) dei Midlake. Insomma ce n'è per tutti i gusti.

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='musica'/><title type='text'>Quando c'erano i Cesari..</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Non ho ancora ascoltato il disco di John Grant (me l'aveva preannunciato qualche tempo fa un tipo credo della Repubblica Ceca a cui avevo passato l'introvabilissimo 'Moodswing' dei The Czars datato credo '94 o '95), ma sono davvero felice di questa uscita di un grandissimo che ormai temevo avesse appeso la chitarra al chiodo con lo scioglimento della sua creatura (i The Czars per l'appunto). Grant ha sempre scritto e cantato in modo eccelso, colorando un pop delizioso con tinte di genialità indie e prosa intimista. Mi dice la sempre attenta Sigurros82 che questo suo nuovo lavoro è addirittura il disco del mese di Ondarock.it, ne sono molto felice e anche un po sorpreso che non è che i Cesari abbiano mai avuto grosso riscontro di pubblico (figurarsi qui da noi). Ne deduco che 'Queen of Denmark'  deve essere un album davvero notevole. Nel frattempo per chi volesse farsi una "cultura": '&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?51ww5ynvjma"&gt;Goodbye&lt;/a&gt;' del 2004 è stato il loro ultimo album (io ho cominciato proprio da li, andando poi a ritroso) , anche se poi un paio d'anni dopo è uscito anche '&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jddekfmfzn3"&gt;Sorry I Made You Cry&lt;/a&gt;' un disco che conteneva le B-Side (tutte cover) dei singoli precedenti. Ve lo segnalo (e linko) almeno per la sua versione che dir notevole è dir poco della buckleyana 'Song To The Siren' e per 'Where The Boys Are?' di Connie Francis che Grant rende credibile e godibile fin quasi alle lacrime. Cioè è come se un cantante gay italiano si cimentasse in 'L'importante è finire' di Mina o similari senza alcuna ironia condita magari da atteggiamenti da Drag Queen. Solo un uomo che canta come un uomo e si chiede dove siano finiti i ragazzi, perchè ci sarà pure qualcuno che sta aspettando proprio lui. Grant è un grande. Nuff said!&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AGGIORNAMENTO: Allora miei cari, ho ascoltato sia Grant che Patton e che dirvi? '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mondo cane&lt;/span&gt;' mi ha lasciato così così, un po perchè le versioni da studio le ho trovate comunque meno 'forti' di quelle delle registrazioni live che girano in rete e un po anche perchè mancano forse i pezzi più significativi (a cominciare da 'Lontano Lontano' e 'Legata ad un granello di sabbia', tanto per concordare una volta di più con SR82 e CheRotto). Ad ogni modo Patton è Patton e può davvero cantare di tutto e non solo (cioè sapevate che lui ha dato la voce anche ai mostri di 'Io non sono leggenda'?) e credo si confermi comunque la più grande voce vivente. Per quanto riguarda invece '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Queen of Denmark&lt;/span&gt;' non posso non prostrarmi di fronte a tanta malinconica bellezza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ldiiXcloL._SL500_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ldiiXcloL._SL500_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certo a tratti il Grant sembra eltonjohnizzarsi un po troppo per i miei gusti, ma di fronte a pezzi come 'I wanna go to Marz' (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;..I wanna go to Mars where green rivers flow and your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show..&lt;/span&gt;) o 'Where the dreams go to die' come non pigiare il tasto 'loop'? Come non eleggere a inno per spazzare via qualsiasi tipo di senso di colpa inculcatoci in gioventù una 'JC hates faggots' (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;..Jesus, he hates his homo sons, they told you when you were young..&lt;/span&gt;)? Probabilmente, rispetto ai dischi dei The Czars, questo è meno indie-oriented e suona molto più mainstream, cosa che magari potrebbe far storcere il naso a più d'uno. Ma acciderbolina se è bello! Voto: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9 pieno&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: I links li trovate in alto a destra (cliccate sul nome appena sopra la miniatura della copertina) ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-908475920640294373?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/908475920640294373/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=908475920640294373&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/908475920640294373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/908475920640294373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/04/quando-cerano-i-cesari.html' title='Quando c&apos;erano i Cesari..'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463675807467169456.post-7372562493399796692</id><published>2010-04-01T18:03:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-04-01T18:27:42.402+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cazzeggio'/><title type='text'>Lo struzzo, lo stronzo e l'hobbit della contea serenissima</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KZcf8mdZfEw&amp;amp;hl=it_IT&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KZcf8mdZfEw&amp;amp;hl=it_IT&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Forse ha ragione il Bianconi, l'unica via di salvezza possibile rimastami è la rinnegazione della realtà di un mondo fatto da un mucchio di coglioni. Meglio fare cioè lo struzzo che l'indignato. Anche perchè si sa che in Italia l'indignazione è come l'orgasmo, dura pochi secondi e poi arriva la sonnolenza. Adesso ad esempio sono in pre fase REM dopo aver letto mons. Bagnasco dichiarare in merito alla pedofilia: "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nessuna ombra, per quanto grave, dolorosa, deprecabile, può annullare il bene compiuto da un prete&lt;/span&gt;". Bagnasco, ma rivatteneaffanculo che io c'ho sonno. Prima però fatemi salutare tutti i veneziani che passan di qui (Fab, ci sei ancora?): gli hobbit stanno bene nella contea e non a Ca' Farsetti. A proposito la prossima volta farà mettere i tornelli anche daventi all'urna, così ci sale sopra e riesce ad infilare la scheda? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vj_1LOYaR7o/S7CGIADU5OI/AAAAAAAA2Fk/Z3_Y88PivzE/s400/409b4bab24fdef280d8eafabcc36b069aa3efb9f.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vj_1LOYaR7o/S7CGIADU5OI/AAAAAAAA2Fk/Z3_Y88PivzE/s400/409b4bab24fdef280d8eafabcc36b069aa3efb9f.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1463675807467169456-7372562493399796692?l=almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/feeds/7372562493399796692/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1463675807467169456&amp;postID=7372562493399796692&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/7372562493399796692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1463675807467169456/posts/default/7372562493399796692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almostblueinreverse.blogspot.com/2010/04/lo-struzzo-lo-stronzo-e-lhobbit-della.html' title='Lo struzzo, lo stronzo e l&apos;hobbit della contea serenissima'/><author><name>birdantony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07722563436177871407</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-vLGokGSzao/SWYcZCKC3iI/AAAAAAAAABs/yEx8-QSyNd4/S220/av-52313.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vj_1LOYaR7o/S7CGIADU5OI/AAAAAAAA2Fk/Z3_Y88PivzE/s72-c/409b4bab24fdef280d8eafabcc36b069aa3efb9f.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
