Few days ago we said that only in 1986 it could happen that three fantastic groups released their albums on the same day, such as Rolling Stones, Pet Shop Boys (the wonderful “Please”, unreachable) and even Van Halen! Maybe this was their first world-class album, but they went far beyond,

Sure, because it’s the birthday of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour! Today, rather than 80s, we speak about 70s, not only because of Pink Floyd’s success in the 70s, but also because Gilmour turns 70 today! It’s a fact that Pink Floyd influenced so much the music of the 80s: they probably started the whole electro-pop trend of Kraftwerk,

The Blow Monkeys – Digging your scene
Maybe not like Duran Duran… but they became the Blow Monkeys nevertheless! Yet they were cool, and very peculiar.. maybe if they insisted a little bit more, and found some more lucky clovers in their way… who knows!!

Dear dinosaurs, in the latest days we heard about the death of a woman, aged 57, who was unbelievable in her life story, both funny and very tragic. She was Vanity, or Vanity 6, the first of the viragos fooled by Prince in his erotic-musical delirium. The genius of Minneapolis was really inspired by glamourous,

Dear Dinosaurs, today I feel like Bruce Willis in that movie where he knows a guy and finds out that the guy is he himself thirty years younger. We remembered Sanremo 1986, with Stadio ranking at last place, and we wake up today, after thirty years, with Stadio ranking as winners.
