The review The post Morrissey is back to bust your balls first appeared on Rolling Stone Italia. Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM

In the 1960s, India was one of the symbolic poles of the European counterculture: an alternative spiritual and political horizon to the West. In the midst of the psychedelic season, young artists and intellectuals looked to the East as a new anti-system model. The Beatles' trip to Rishikesh in 1968, George Harrison's introduction of the sitar into pop music, interest in Hinduism, Buddhism, transcendental meditation. India becomes a concrete presence in the European cultural imagination, a promise of authenticity and transcendence, a place where spirituality and everyday life seem to coexist without the fracture perceived in Europe.Today, a historical moment…
The protagonist of Mitski's new album Nothing's About to Happen to Methe eighth, is a woman who lives in a neglected house. “Outside the house she has deviant behavior, inside the house she is free.” From a thematic and musical point of view we are on the same line as The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We of 2023. Even in that case, literary-flavored stories of the hardships of those who live in small towns were expressed with indie folk enriched by orchestrations.It is the first time that an artist like Mitski, ambitious and therefore restless and able to…

Gaze out from the city quayside in Belém, Brazil, and there’s a lot to take in. To the north, the sprawling Baia de Marajo estuary stretches towards the mighty Atlantic Ocean. To the south, an epic blanket of green – the uppermost tip of the Brazilian Amazon, 60 per cent of all the world’s remaining tropical rainforest. To the east, in contrast, is the concrete skyline of the region’s urban capital. Home to 2.5million people, Belém’s waterside colonial old town is soon dwarfed by high-rise apartment blocks. Cutting through it all, and oozing Main Character Energy, the muddy Guamá River.…

Non a caso la prese male (anche troppo) quando Gianni Morandi gli banalizzò l’attacco di “Buonanotte Fiorellino”. Spesso il primo verso introduce il protagonista, che può essere lo stesso autore sotto mentite spoglie (“Arlecchino”, “Il ragazzo”, “l’uomo che cammina sui pezzi di vetro”) oppure cita il titolo del brano (“Alice”, “Bene”, “Giovane esploratore Tobia”, “La campana”, “Viva l’Italia”, “Terra e acqua”, “Generale” etc.). Altre volte spiazza completamente, porta fuori strada: “Mio padre seppellito un anno fa, nessuno più a coltivare la vite”…

People are buying American oil, the stock market is hitting record highs, and we are entering the long-promised golden age. But the numbers don't lie, and this week the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that inflation jumped almost 3.8 percent in April, reaching its highest levels since May 2023. According to the Tuesday report from the Department of Labor, the spikes in inflation since Trump initiated the war in February are primarily…
