Kafka - Truths (mcd) #1999

CICLO DEL GRANCHIO *** - Mangle si vaga lenti alla ricerca nella poltiglia di chele enormi. Il ventre molle da succhiare svelti è il nutrimento: solo quello. Tutto (i rifiuti, i corpi) ritorna vivo nel mangle, diventando di nuovo: di nuovo granchio.

THE CYCLE OF THE CRAB *** - Mangle we are slowly roaming looking for huge chelae into the mush. The soft abdomen to be quickly sucked is the nourishment: only that. Everything (rubbish, bodies) comes back to life in the mangle: crab again.

*** Ai margini della città di Recife (capitale dello stato di Pernambuco, Brasile) è il mangle, una distesa viscida, melmosa, invasa ritmicamente dalla marea, dove ogni giorno uomini, donne, bambini delle mucambos (le bidonvilles del mangle) avanzano tra rifiuti di ogni sorta per acchiappare e mangiare i granchi che vi pullulano. I granchi si nutrono degli scarichi della città: tutti gli scarti dell'uomo ritornano nel mangle per divenire di nuovo granchio (tutto ciò è chiamato: il tremendo ciclo del granchio). In Brasile attualmente più di metà di tutta la terra coltivabile è in mano al 2% della popolazione e la maggior parte della risorse minerarie viene sfruttata da compagnie multinazionali straniere.

*** At the edges of the city of Recife (in Brasil) there is the mangle, aviscid, muddy plane, rythmically invaded by the tide, where every day men, women and children of the mucambos look for crabs to eat into the rubbish which accumulates there. These crabs feed on the refuses of the city: all the rubbish produced by men goes back into the mangle to become again crab (the all thing is called the terrible cycle of the crab). At the moment in Brasil the most part of the cultivable land is owned by 2% of the population and most of the minerary resources is exploited by foreigner multinational corporations.

Flo & Andrew - Take suicide (12'') #1981

An obscure musical project based in Bologna, they went out in 1981 as duo for L.M. subsidiary label Broadbean. Music is basically synth/wave with a very nice electronic sound all over and some way-out vocals. Very rare.

Movie Star Junkies - In a night like this (10") #2010

Junkyard rockers from the Boot go half on a BIRTHDAY PARTY-esque wild electric stalker vibe, the other half on Roma-induced static caravan ripoff/roof patching scam/throwing-mustard-on-you-then-cleaning-it-up-while-lifting-your-wallet style dishonesty. Unsurprisingly, both approaches work for the desired effect: garage eeriness and swingin’ sledge from some Euro dudes who try to recreate others’ pasts in their own present. Fun record, for sure, but most of this band’s output is. Four songs.

NoMeansNo - Live in Warsaw (tape) #1990

Una validissima registrazione dal vivo (concerto del 25 maggio 1990) di una grande band in uno dei migliori momenti della sua carriera. Sti canadesi sono delle fottutissime macchine sul palco. Responsabile di questa meraviglia su nastro è la prevedibilmente polacca QQRYQ mentre il rip non può che arrivare dal buon Raff.
Enjoy!

Kina/The Sphere - Come tu mi vuoi (7" split) #1988

Back in the late 1980's Italian Hardcore was fast, loud, and had this special sort of uncontrollable power.
I think you know what I mean, RAW POWER, NEGAZIONE, INDIGESTI, PEGGIO PUNX, CCM, etc.
Kina were different and quite a phenomenon for me. Their songs pass despair and lust for life at the same time. They had this power, they were fast, but they had a special emotional edge. Whether they were influenced from Washington D.C. Hardcore or from Italian Folkmusic or both or whatever, I don’t know. With this tune featured here they took it to the extreme. It was the first time for me that I heard a political influenced hardcore band playing an unplugged, acoustic song. As I had a depressive period of life in these times (you know Weltschmerz, don’t you?), this was the absolute right thing for me.
When I hear it today it’s still nice, but it doesn’t give me the creeps anymore. Nonetheless this is still an outstanding tune from an outstanding band.
The B-Side features The Sphere. A little punkrock rumbler with a country-, folk-like drumming. Not bad.

Barbed Wire Temple - Barbed Wire Temple (7") #1995

Altro file scovato tra i vecchi rip: loro sono i fiorentini Barbed Wire Temple e la loro discografia, oltre a questo sette pollici, mi è ignota. Anche perché, cercando in rete, mi sono imbattuto soltanto in una serie di video, postati sul tubo dall'utente TripponeMago, che paiono brani registrati in seguito al 7" ma dei quali non sono riuscito a scoprire l'origine. Pur non essendo la mia tazza di té preferita, devo comunque ammettere che in questo dischetto uscito per la Blu Bus i quattro dimostravano di saperci fare, miscelando sapientemente influenze punk e grunge.

Crash Box - Crash Box (demotape) #1983

Giù nel buio, nelle strade
so chi stai aspettando
stai cercando la tua preda
sono io la vittima
non ti ho fatto nulla, ma a te questo non importa
tu guardi i miei vestiti
è questa la mia colpa?
Calci nella schiena, volano via i denti
i maiali in parlamento ridono contenti

Picchia picchia picchia sempre chi è diverso
Grande Uomo, il tuo gioco è senza senso

Crash Box - Io sono la vittima

a1. Nato per essere veloce
a2. Io sono la vittima
a3. Il mio inferno
a4. Accuso
a5. Non so tacere

Erode - Al volga non si arriva #1996

In un momento storico-musicale improntato al disimpegno, gli Erode sono orgogliosamente classisti, amanti dell' iconografia sovietica, volutamente ironici e provocatori. Gli Erode suonano nei circuiti antagonisti e nell'autunno del 1995 registrano il secondo 7" Al Volga non si arriva, con in copertina la famosa foto raffigurante la presa del Reichstag di Berlino da parte dell'Armata Rossa. Il disco, autoprodotto, verrà pubblicato l’anno dopo. I brani presenti, che diventeranno dei classici del loro repertorio sono: Stalingrado, Frana la curva, Europa e Pro Patria.

The Peawees - Walking the walk #2007

The Peawees are back and better than ever! With the release of Walking the walk - the band's fourth full-length album - we find The Peawees cranking out more of their meaty blend of rockabilly, punk rock, classic 50's rock-n-roll, rhythm 'n blues and Italian spice. But this time around there's a new ingredient added to the mix in the form of a heavy 60's soul sound that has never been as forwardly present on past albums as it is here. There's much more of an overall melancholy vibe to many of the songs as well which the new soul sound really lends itself to very well. Whereas The Peawees previous albums were more likely to induce foot-stomping, fist-pumping and head-banging, Walking the walk is likely to get you hand-clapping, leg-slapping, gyrating and getting down with some serious boogie-woogie moves. As is the case with all past albums by The Peawees, the musicianship and singing on Walking the walk are top-notch. There isn't a band in America, Italy or anywhere else playing this style of rock-n-roll better than The Peawees.

The Jet Boys - I wanna die (7") #1995

The Jet Boys took off in the late 80's after wild man Ono-Ching cut his teeth with seminal female-fronted punk group NICKEY & THE WARRIORS. By the mid-90's, the Tokyo Back from the Grave scene had created a buzz from beyond which got acts like the 5,6,7,8's, GUITAR WOLF and of course Jet Boys noticed overseas. The band subsequently released material in the US on Sympathy for the Record Industry and Black Lung records. One of the legendary Japanese punk bands still playing regularly, the Jet Boys still shock audiences with a berserk stage show that includes mayhem, milk showers and daikon grating action!
