Well, it was exactly 2 years ago when I decided, based on Giovanna’s suggestion, to start this experiment of sharing my personal musical tastes with anyone that would have been interested in listening to something (maybe) new.

Many things have happened since that time. The BLOG has changed face, style, got some sporadic contribution, moved from a 7-days version with something not-musical during the weekend to a 7-days version with something not-new-but-always-musical during the weekend to the final 5-days version mainly concentrated on the week days.

Some numbers proved that my work (because, believe me, even if it’s a pleasure… it takes time and commitment) has been somehow appreciated. In fact we got :

  • 625 posts
  • 1530 comments
  • more than 16000 views (1187 views during the first month)
  • about 3400 spams

In the end, it was a great experience and it gave me a lot of fun. I say in the end, because it’s time to move on and do something else. The BLOG will stay here, waiting for someone to visit, waiting for someone to discover new music, for someone to like it or not, to comment, to ignore… but it will stay. I won’t add any new post, though.

I want to thank all of you that have paid even a single visit to these pages. But special thanks go to Gio (who didn’t miss a single day), Andrea (who missed only the days when he wasn’t close to a PC), Francesca (who contributed from time to time but always tried to read), Roberto (my inspiring friend), Dario (who uses the BLOG “also” to refresh his English), Kelly (who was the only person publishing several posts besides me), Milica (who some months ago was the first in the morning to write something here), Roberto-di-Torino (who reads in the background… but I know that is there).

So, we started long time ago with a wonderful song from “Jamie T“, that song was “If You Got The Money”, and today I want to close this chapter with another song from the same artist. This is “Sticks ‘N’ Stones”:

Thanks again and enjoy.

yours, Domenico

Today we have one of the poems I liked more when I was a student.

This is “The Tiger”, from William Blake. Hope you will enjoy.

- Domenico -

Tiger Tiger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat.
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile His work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger Tiger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

That was the best concert, ever, at least for the last two/three years I have been here in Vienna. Thanks to my friends to make that possible.

This song has been released a couple of days ago and it’s free to be downloaded on Radiohead’s website:
