i saw fireworks tonite.

sick again, grrr.
yesterday i felt so powerless from my bones to my mind.
however i had my exam, i think it's ok... i hope so cos i've finished it in just....mh... 1o minutes?

after finishing it, i ran at home cos i felt colder and i've passed all day long in my bed under my blanket.
all nite in front of a book [an american girl who talks about her experience:
not buying anything but indespensable needs], a pizza and an apple [not the laptop but just the fruit].
i was lucky, lucky and happy.
cos i had the chance to "talk" by messenger with a great person and i started feeling better once talked with "her", as well as everytime i did/do/will do it.



tomorrow i'll have a gig in a small party but.... what about my fever? grrr.


so, due to my happyness, i'll let you know more about my last favourite tunes.
music, yawm [tired, fuckin antibiotics!].


indie-girls from brighton, my second favourite city from england.
i'm talking about the pipettes [in italy, this name could be misunderstood] who mix sexual vocal lyrics, typical "rocky" shouts, with the most "trashy" twee-pop.






the pipettes - judy [blue states remix]









i really love this track from radiohead as all their own songs.
in particular, i listen to it everytime i'm down.






radiohead - high &dry









i love kitsunè: it's one of my smashin favourite label and this track by benjamin theves really rocks my body [hey, it's an old track so try to not fall in love with it for a long time]!
p.s. it' a french label, A-W-E-S-O-M-E!






benjamin theves - texas [sebastiAn mix]









have you ever heard an album by four tèt? he's simply a genie.
buy his last dj-kicks on !k7 rec. [have you seen my favourite album of the month? it's a !k7's release!].






four tèt - first thing

benjamin theves knows the best.

my friend fabio had a great result: 29/30 for a maths exam and this nite he's offered me three negronis.

i'm drunk!








the rapture - whoo, alright! yeah..uh huh

montreal?

i got a new laptop, bought just yesterday.
it's a white macbook [fuck off asus, windows etc.] and i must wait for its delivery in the next weeks.



new uffie's track sounds like the last one.. ready to fuck, ready to suck, ready to do something dirty...why is she not ready to clean the floor o to wash the dishes?

this girl thinks always about just having sex..maybe she was wrong with her job: not singer, maybe slut.





uffie - hot chick

i've bought a new laptop.

long time without posting/music, sorry about that but i'm feeling so so so so sorrowful.
i'd like to come back in london, but i can't.
my dreams never will come true.


and i'm talking about other troubles, not just london.




i'll have several gigs, from foggia to perugia, from ancona to senigallia.
i'm producing great tunes and people like em.
i'm studying well for my next exam, i'm ready for it.


but i'm feeling so fucking empty.

what am i doing? everything but having fun: studying, playing and so on. but it's not fun. no more.
what's wrong with me?

tiga, a genuine guy.

nokia trends festival, that's to say a jumble of genres, people and drugs.
after listening to tiga, i was out from leopolda station cos i didn't like timo maas' music [cheesy, cheesy and cheesy. c'mon timo..].
about tiga, he was great as usual. i've listened to several new tunes as new marc houle's track [kicker], new sebastian's one on ed banger [walkman] and new booka shade rmx about tiga's 3 weeks.

after watching me with my "turbo" t-shirt, tiga recognized me and he started talking about his arm ["now it's good" showing it to me] and trying to explain the situation with his dogs.
in the meantime, all stupid chicks tried to have a chat with him but he looked like being annoyed by them [ "tiga, can i have a photo with you?" "tiga, can i kiss you?" ].
the incredible thing was to be in the backstage with tiga ["c'mon, come with me in the backstage and we can have a photo and a chat together!"] and talk with him about that booka shade rmx, his new projects ["i'm working with jesper (dahlback) for a new track and i've finished a track with jori hulkonnen"] and other things which i can't remember now.
i've finished my chat by saying to him how incredible is to talk with him and to receive e-mails by him everytime while there're some people [as in the ed banger rec.] who think to be a kinda god or divine persons; so they don't answer to your request. tiga is a genuine guy since 10 years and that's the great point of his behaviour.
these are just my 2 cents about him.




some pics from the party:






spinning on the decks.











having a chat with me while my friend fabio made this photo.











hey t, is jori dead? he started laughing.











together.









a tribute to tiga.
just please listen to one of the most drama-track made by him several years ago.

road to perugia.

"when you look with your eyes
everything seems nice
but if you look twice
you can see it's all lies"

see you at florence tonite, if you'll be there for nokia trends festival.
gotan project + tiga + timo maas.








WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH A "COVER"?:
basically, a cover is just a re-interpretation of an old [or new one but this is the rarest case] tune made by another artist.
usually there're no links between a cover and the artists: i mean, you don't have to get that particular musical taste o you don't have to like cover's style for making a cover.
here it is a stupid example:






the talking heads - burning down the house












the cardigans feat. tom jones - burning down the house












tiga - burning down the house










trip time, perugia and florence are waiting for me, sigh.
cheers.

this band sucks but i love this song:

london, i miss you.

i feel sad, really sad.
everything has gone in a while and i don't know how my italian life will be now.
i'm so bewildered..
it was my last work-day at walkabout in covent gardern yesterday and due to my happyness about being there, i drunk everything from spirits to beers, from cocktails to shots.
i stole a bunch of tips from the tip's basket as well.
i'm so fuckin bastard. after cleaning and taking care about everything was in its right place, i went with my fellows to old street and we had fun in a polish club with that shitty minimal-techno music.
but it was great to share my happyness with these guys: that's one of the reasons why i'm sad.. i was starting feeling one of them and i felt like re-starting a new life.

this is a list on what probably i'll miss about london:

- have breakfast in my favourite bar, full of freakin people;
- eat a chicken doner after working and pay it thanks to the tips;
- "the breakfast club", one of the best place in london;
- buy vinyls and chill out on the couch at phonica rec. ;
- meet nico de ceglia for a coffee and a chat;
- walk on the street at 2 o' clock while carpenters are working and london's sleeping;
- alisha, dave, isabel, tom: my home-mates;
- davide, one of the greatest guy ever met;
- rain: i felt like having a wet pat;
- the couches on my living room: so comfortable;
- shoreditch and old-street area: the real london;
- everytype of juice;
- the tiny sun;
- "sorry boss";
- the gardern in front of hoxton bar.



and this is a list on what i won't miss about london:

- heidi from phonica rec. c'mon chick, you're not god ;
- sedat, the cooker from walkabout: a kinda hitler. FUCK OFF STUPID MAN!;
- beppe, typical italian shit;
- "frank sinatra". lol, fuck off man, you're the worste singer/dj ever heard =) ;
- tubby women. STAY AT HOME PLEASE, DON'T GO OUT, YOU'RE CRAP!
- notting hill carnival;
- steven, my landlord;
- hip-hop and dnb black guys;
- all clubs which pissed me.


that's all folks, i don't know about how my life will be in the next months
but i think there's nothing worse than come back to italy.
cheers.
sorry about, no music for the moment.

h&m is not so cool..

last day of work: WTF!


probably i'll be on air at radioerre before leaving foggia: i'll have an interview about london's music, trends and so. it seems to be quite interesting as well.

music, mh: i'm so tired, today just chill out our nerves.


Thursday, September 07, 2006

i'm just skin and bones!

no sir, not dancing today.

i went with my friend dave to phonica [http://www.phonicarecords.co.uk/] and i bought a great vinyl: windowlicker by aphex twin [that one posted one week ago].
three days ago i went to the TATE gallery and i couldn't imagine i was able to see my favourite artist: dan flavin.



his minimalistic way of expressing art was made by linking some neon-lights in order to obtain efxs and in meantime, keep people think about how essential are our lives.











i saw just two of his masterpiece but i was lucky cos there were my favourite ones:



a monument for v. tatlin is probably the most famous favlin's work.
it was dedicated to constructivist sculptor vladimir tatlin and it's one of his greatest minimalistic work: you can see b&w game between neon-lights and the background.











this work has got no title but it's amazing how favlin's lights can enlight all the wall with his fulfilled colours.













another great artist who i'd like to see at tate gallery was niki de saint phalle:



shooting picture could be the perfect assembly between spacialism's way of cutting the canvas and pollock's uses of the brushes.















and i could mention a lot of artists but someone suggest me about not being bored and so...
due to the impossibility to make photos on tate, i just post some pics from the 4th floor of it:


millenium bridge, so fuckin' great.











tate modern gallery.











instanbul.
i'm joking [so fuckin stupid!], that's the thames.










me on the couch.











so much wine probably.











me and dave at london's carnival.














ok.. music.
i'm tired and i don't want to talk about artists but i've bought last wolf mother's album which is so great, an amazing mix of emotional musical rescues with the latest rock avant garde.
this one will be my favourite album for the month, let's take a listen to it.
ah, rmxes from mstrkrft and the avalanches.







wolf mother - woman











wolf mother - woman [mstrkrft remix]











wolf mother - woman [avalanches millstream remix]









i dunno what to say about elle milano, don't you think they sound a bit cheesy?

the day before yesterday i went to phonica rec. and i bought three vinyls, one of those was d.i.m.'s first release on turbo rec.
finally tiga's label is back with three new release, from d.i.m. to sweet light rmx about etienne daho and tomboy aka thomas barford's last [eh? it was used by tiga on "inthemix.05" compilation on november05!] work.
