Song of the Week: L'importante E' Finire

By -


The music is another song from Mina's catalogue that addresses passion and, in more ways than one, la petite mort.

Death, Passion and Sex have been intertwined in a dark, beautiful and revitalizing way since the invention of all three. Sometimes the combination is not so revitalizing in the short run, but it's quite a ride. To make the point, Brian Bloom and Chris Meloni from their time in OZ.

Adesso arriva lui
Apre piano la porta




Poi si butta sul letto e poi e poi

Ad un tratto io sento afferrarmi le mani
Le mie gambe tremare e poi e poi e poi e poi

Spegne adagio la luce, la sua bocca sul collo
Ha il respiro un po' caldo ho deciso lo mollo
Ma non so se poi farlo o lasciarlo soffrire

l'importante รจ finire

Adesso volta la faccia questa e' l'ultima volta
Che lo lascio morire e poi e poi

Ha talento da grande lui nel fare l'amore
Sa pigliare il mio cuore e poi e poi e poi e poi

Ha il volto sconvolto io gli dico ti amo
Ricomincia da capo e' violento il respiro
Io non so se restare o rifarlo morire

l'importante e' finire.

Sunday Songs: Abbey Lincoln

By -

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro...

Datalounge

There was a time when the Gossip Forum on Datalounge was a particularly entertaining cyberspace, much like a funny Joan Rivers routine. In the last two years it has become painful to read some of the posts there. There is, however, one rather entertaining thread that has been kept alive off and on since February, it is entitled: What gossip-related things do you actually know from first hand experience (here are some edited entries)… Dani el Travanti is still known as Miss Hoo-hoo by members of the Hill Street Blues crew. Kevin Bacon is totally straight, sweet, and has the thinnest body west of Biafra. Robert Blake is guilty. Paul Newman has had his share of men. His wife has had her share of women. … Keanu Reeves is great in bed--with anyone. …I dated Craig Sheffer once (now on One Tree Hill). He talked alot about how spiritually unenlightened Sam Champion was... Craig had some interesting beliefs about how DNA double helixes in humans were mutating in a way that would allow us to c...

The Wednesday Word: The Man Who Invented Lee Majors

By -

There's a Datalounge thread all abuzz about The University of Kentucky, Lee Majors and Rock Hudson. If true, oh to have been a fly on that wall[s]! Experiencing the young Mr. Majors in The Big Valley was magnificent fodder for adolescent hormonal terrain. In researching this legend, there was an interesting entry on a UK site dedicated to Lee Majors. See below and go here . And now appearing in the role of Henry Willson, Rock Hudson. The thread starts out with this: ... The Thin Thirty , by Shannon Ragland, chronicles Hudson's involvement in a 1962 sex scandal at the University of Kentucky involving the football team. Ragland writes that Jim Barnett, a wrestling promoter, engaged in prostitution with members of the team, and that Hudson was one of Barnett's customers. [source: Wikipedia] Lee Majors was a chaffeur for Jim Barnett, by the way. Two review blurbs from Amazon.com on The Thin Thirty If I hadn't lived through the University of Kentucky s shameful Thin Thirty ...
