acrobata (s. m.) è chi cammina tutto in punta (di piedi): (tale, almeno, è per l'etimo): poi procede, però, naturalmente, tutto in punta di dita, anche, di mani (e in punta di forchetta): e sopra la sua testa: (e sopra i chiodi, fachireggiando e funamboleggiando): (e sopra i fili tesi tra due case, per le strade e le piazze: dentro un trapezio, in un circo, in un cerchio, sopra un cielo): volteggia su due canne, flessibilmente, infilzate in due bicchieri, in due scarpe, in due guanti: (dentro il fumo, nell'aria): pneumatico e somatico, dentro il vuoto pneumatico: (dentro pneumatici plastici, dentro botti e bottiglie): e salta mortalmente: e mortalmente (e moralmente) ruota: (così mi ruoto e salto, io nel tuo cuore)

goodnight, travel well

the unknown distance to the great beyond
stares back at my grieving frame
to cast my shadow by the holy sun
my spirit moans with a sacred pain
and it's quiet now
the universe is standing still

there's nothing I can say
there's nothing we can do now
there's nothing I can say
there's nothing we can do now


and all that stands between the souls release(?)
this temporary flesh and bone
we know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam



every time you fall
and every time you try
every foolish dream
and every compromise
every word you spoke
and everything you said
everything you left me, rambles in my head

there's nothing I can say
there's nothing I can do now
there's nothing I can say
there's nothing I can do now

up above the world so high

and everything you loved
and every time you try
everybody's watching
everybody cry

stay, don't leave me
the stars can't for your sign
don't signal now

get closer.

Little Joy, Great Experience

My fall album


I literally adore this album.
Warmly Recommended.
Thanks to my friend Vincent for sharing.

Fabrizio Moretti interviewed by hollywoodinsider about this new project

EW: Little Joy is made up of you, your girlfriend, Binky, producer Noah Georgeson, and Los Hermanos guitarist Rodrigo Amarante. How did you guys hook up?
FABRIZIO MORETTI: My whole family lives in Brazil, and my brother kept sending me Rodrigo's music. One night, his band and mine were playing the same festival in Portugal and he came by to say hello. After the show, we stayed up the whole night by the side of the river in Lisbon, just chatting it up. Then Rodrigo came to work [in L.A.] with Devendra Banhart, and we started hooking up and making music. We met Binky around the same time, and we just started writing songs together. I had this bushel of songs I'd been saving for a long time, but they were just seeds. We developed them together and made them realistic ideas.

And you named this band after a bar?
[Laughs] Yeah, I used to live right up the street. It's the bar where we'd go to unwind. Binky was actually the one who said we should call the band Little Joy. I was like, "I don’t know," but then I came around to it.

Do you consider this a side project?
I don’t know. I have all my heart and love in it right now — this is my band. We’re hoping we’ll get the album out by November or some time in late fall.

What about the Strokes?
The plan is for us to start getting our ideas together in February. I can’t wait to see those guys and work on music with them, but right now all of my focus is on this. With me and [guitarist] Nick [Valensi] living in L.A., and everyone else in New York City, I feel a bit detached from the rest of the guys, but we keep in touch. It's weird, for ten years — since 1998 — we were together all the time.

There was a rumor a while back that the Strokes might work with producer Rick Rubin on the next record.
I'd love to work with Rick Rubin. He made some pretty seminal records. But it's like, before we have an idea, before there's a sketch done, we’re not going to choose the color.

baby im broke

baby im broke, originally uploaded by theo79.

Baby, I’m broke.
I don’t just mean money,
My batteries are dead and my engine’s stopped running.

Baby, I’m tired,
Past understanding,
How heartache and debt are my closest companions.

Baby, I’m broke,
Nothing to lose.
I want you to help me but baby, you’re cruel,
And talking to you,
I might as well throw my head back and howl at the moon,
Yeah, for all the good it’ll do.

Baby, I’m broke.
I feel so lonesome.
Love, money or time, I don’t mind, could I loan some?

But baby you’re strange,
Your heart’s all a flutter.
Your head’s in the sky but your mind’s in the gutter.

Baby, I’m broke.
The last train’s left town,
And I left my way in the lost and the found.
I’m thinking out loud.
I might as well throw my head back and shout at the clouds.
Yeah, for all the good it’ll do now.
For all the good it’ll do now.
For all the good it’ll do now.

Baby, I’m broke.
No use in crying.
I’ll stay sitting here, filling time ‘till I’m dying.

Baby, it’s hard.
Nothing I can do.
I’m just some poor fool who life dealt a bad hand to.

Baby I’m broke.
And one thing holds true.
There’s no gold for me, I was born to be blue.
For all of my money,
And all of my hopes,
Have gone up in smoke.
‘Cause baby I’m broke.

(lucky soul)

They want you to burn in hell
Because of your magic spell
It may seem hard but it's just fair enough
Cause Satan's your best friend
No need to run no more
The Inquisition's at your door
It may seem hard but it's just fair enough
You danced naked around the fire
The mob has brought you here
They want your soul

kill qoob, the ultimate contest

One of the bravest experiment ever is turning OFF.

Beside any comments, qoobers and creative of all world there's a dazed killing contest for you.

Contest Description

We're heathen, that you know already. And maybe a little exorcist, too. Or exorcising, who knows? Against all TV taboos, here we are launching the ultimate challenge in media history: Kill Qoob!

And most of all, here we are launching the first joint audio-video commissioning scheme of our history.

It's freely interpretable as also: how would you kill Qoob. Or what will you do if Qoob died. Or how is the Qoob that you'd want but that you've never had (that is a bit like killing the present one and giving birth to a new one). Or maybe Qoob must live on otherwise I'd die! Or maybe behold all you vile people that want to kill Qoob, for thou shalt die! Delirious huh? I mean, try and imagine a world without Qoob and speak your mind about that.

So, videomakers and audiomakers unite: collaborate and create the perfect goodbye to Qoob, in sound and images, then upload it on our website. You can run free with creative stories, be them live action or animation, set up a drama or a silly comedy. You can also just choose to stand in front of a very dyi webcam and shoot your 1,000 reasons why this website drives you nuts or simply sucks (and yet, you could tell us how much you love us!). Or maybe you could shoot the fake music video for the fakest band of all times that only sings about death and the likes...

Take this as the perfect epitaph for this media that you so much love and hate at the same time.

It's a one-of-a-lifetime chance to let loose of your rage against Qoob: be it because you believe that our video contests are fake, or because videoplayers don't work, or because comments and ratings are vile, or because pics are not prominent as they were...

Isn't this great? We truly believe it is.

After all, what day better than today, Halloween, to launch such a lethal commissioning scheme?

Go to the contest

Hold my ears against the wall,
Cannot hear a word at all.
What you do when catching rays,
Reaching for eternity.
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
I'm so jagged, I'm afraid.
In this place where nothing's safe.
Someone elucidates.
It's late. Too late!
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
Tell me when it's all divided,
Tell me where it's all decided.
Watching useless stand in line.
Everyone, there comes a time.
We're waiting.
Better set yourself in motion.
Running down this rocky road.
Everywhere is webs and tangles,
Everywhere is hidden angles.
We're waiting.
When? When? When? When?
Tell me where it's all decided.
Tell me when it's all divided,
We're waiting.
We're waiting.
We're waiting.
