Alcuni vecchi brani Italiani

First time i heard Italian music I LIKE was during the Mondo Cane show in Holland.
Songs like: "L'Urlo Negro and Storia D'Amore are a MUST for your ears.
Now a few months later im having an Italian music flu,

Only shit songs i knew were from a girl named Laura pausini, CRAP!
And some dudes named Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bochelli but that really didnt gave me a "whuuuhuuuu" moment.
But then some strange Italian fregna introduced me to the "original" Mondo Cane songs and god DAMN they are too good! Must admid Patton did a wonderfull job by covering the old tunes.
Artist such as: I Blackmen, Adriano Celentano and EdoaRRRRRRRRRdo Vianello already convinced me. Happy Italian tunes haha. This is the point where people with the age of 50 come in: "music was way better back in the day" ok, now after hearing these tunes i must admid its way better than the fucking Beatles, WHO?!
Even tho my Italian is shit at this moment i cant help it singing along BUT with the words i make up ;) aight!
Thanx to Aurora Demasi i discoverd some "new artist"
just check out this song, trust me you will find yourself go "RRRRRRRRRRR" the whole fucking time:

Edoardo Vianello - Abbronzatissima(1963)



L'Urlo Negro Original (1967)



And the Italian Elvis Presley: Adriano Celentano - 24000 baci (1961)

Madlove

What the world needs is some madfuckin'love!

and Trevor Dunn created it.
Madlove is a new band by Trevor Dunn, maybe this time people will notice Trevor Dunn's music. The music he is making these days with all kinds of bands or in the past is not for everybody's ears. But thats not a "bad" thing 'cause the music scene would be very boring if everybody makes the same shit.

Back to Madlove.
Madlove made its debut in London, consider it a "warm up" gig for the ATP, The Nightmare Before Christmas Festival in Minehead, UK.

Me and my friend Bir checked out a bit of the soundcheck but we kinda felt "bad" for being there so we left after a few moments of "shall we go now?"
We also wanted it to be a "surprise" for our ears later that evening.
So after enjoying Big Business it was time to rush to the other stage to see Madlove.

"wherever you go, go front row" and we stood front row as 3 happy bambina's.
(Holanda - Argentina/ Norway - Italia)
Madlove is like the new Motley Crue, juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding.
anyways memebers of the band: Sunny Kim (vocals) Trevor Dunn (bass, vocals) Ches Smith (drums) Hilmar Jensson (guitar) Erik Deutsch (keyboards)

From what i've heard that evening Madlove sounds kicking in the poohole! AWESUMO!
But i have to admid, i found Sunny Kim's voice a bit "boring" for a band like madlove.
Yeah so uhh thats it,
