Tighten Up Your Tie, Button Up Your Jacket, Listen to Felili

Felili was a nice discover on the broad indie underground often way too dark to discover brand new gems lost between (my)spaces and tiny productions. They still deserve a lot, and the chanteuse Felili was able to persuade me with her kweel musical taste (Amy Winehouse, Neneh Cherry, Charlotte Hatherley could easily find a suitable [...]

A night with Mojomatics and guest

I sometime wonder what does it takes to a new band to deserve a little special place in my heart. Could it be the astonishing voice of the singer? It usually never happens. Usually the magic trick is done by melody and a good song writing, with a bit of originality in mind, still that’s [...]

Me and my friends awaited The Leisure Society concert with a great anticipation, as we all were impressed by their genius and complex arrangements combined with such soulful and touching melodies.

Sally can dance!

I have to admit that I was quite surprised when I had the pleasure to listen to Sally Shapiro song.

Kings of a free mp3 world: Helmut & The Call

It happened quite often I found myself arguing with some friends when Weezer will get back to make a great album just like the old days. I’m still personally a fan, and I keep enjoy each of their new fresh and poppy realeases, still my friends tell me I’m not (a fan) and Cuomo is [...]

The black hollies: don’t be afraid to ask!

Having the honour to interview great international bands, gives you the opportunity to get in touch with the broadest spectrum of personalities ever, jumping from popsters taking themself so unbelievably seriously, to monosyllabic inexplicable would be monks, to modern rock’n’roll Tolstoy ready to share with the enemy their deepest and dark gloomy secrets.
