About Me
- domx
- Utrecht, Netherlands
- Pieces of my life are in Italy, in Rome mainly; others in Utrecht, others all over Europe and around the Globe.. Due to new events and circumstances, Canada also entered in my personal-emotional-geographical cartography. Nevertheless I still feel very good!

rage against the machine: Killing in the name.
System of a Down: Toxicity.
thanks! i'll try.. do you have anything kinda more sharp in the lyrics?
What do you mean by sharp?
Rome is about to be a dangerous city:
Gianni Alemanno, a former neo-fascist and current ally of Silvio Berlusconi, has scored a victory to become Rome's first far-right mayor since the second world war after promising to tackle lawlessness and illegal immigration. (the guardian)
---Domx, don't panic! we have to come back!
Resistenza, ora e sempre!
All power to the people!
titz
yes Tiz!! indeed! that's why I need to take out somehow my rage otherwise i implode! uff...!
tiziola.. ce la faremo...!
ora e sempre resistenza!
fab:
dunno exactly how to explain but i know exactly what i mean.. something like they put into words exactly what you're thinking even before you knew that was what you were thinking? or that they cut right through the daily sickness of some things in society, kinda dissecting and exposing them so that you see clearly what makes you
angry?
anyway, from the tip of my head (?) songs that help me are in random order:
"out of control" (Rancid), "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (Bob Dylan), "Blitzkrieg Bop" (Ramones - not for the lyrics but for the song), "search and destroy" (Stooges - idem as above),
"london Calling" (Clash - predictable but it works),
"working class hero" (J. Lennon), "Don't need you" (Bikini Kill), "Rise Above" (Black Flag), "Gloria/Horses" (Patti Smith), "Shy" (Ani di Franco - not for the lyrics in this case), "Mistaken ID" (the Wipers - and thanks who made me 'discover' the band)
+ italian stuff like "l'avvelenata" (Guccini), "Nella mia ora di libertà" (De Andre')
[you can even find them on youtube if you're curious]
okay me again, since I can't help it and when I work I listen to music, I found another song by accident on a CD i hadn't been playing forever, but it's in german so I don't understand a thing:
Einsturzende Neubauten - Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T
The editor in chief of a leading left weekly newspaper in Germany (Die Zeit) wrote in an article that Europeans are shacking their heads in disbelief in the face of Italian politics these days. This attitude is, I think, just a way of distancing oneself from and pointing with a finger to political phenomena that are not particular to Italy at all. After all, French still refer to third and fourth generation (North) Africans living in France as "immigrants". In Austria, Jörg Haider - who takes pride in attending the yearly meetings of Second World War Veterans - is still elected head of a region in the South of Austria. A demonstration of 500 neo-Nazis in Magdeburg (former Eastern Germany) was faced by barely 200 anti-nazi-marchers. And the US senate/congress just passed a bill allowing methods of "enforced interrogations" that include a so called "water-bath".
Let me quote from the song I indicated to you yesterday:
"I see the people in the streets/
the dictatorship of the adapted/
...
men women old young/
in the north, the west, the east, the south/
the dictatorship of the adapted/
...
money vibrates/
and a free market dictates their lives/
the media help them to be stupid/
a strong state helps them to be silent"
at the gates - slaughter the soul
black flag - depression
babes in toyland - bruise violet
wipers - over the edge
and...
Soft Cell - Sex Dwarf (because it makes me feel better)
ah, thanks for reminding me of the babes in toyland!! i used to listen to them a lot (when i was young :P) and they were risking of getting erased from my musical memory, together with some of my other cds that are taking dust in rome...!
