Midnight in Paris
Un guardarsi indietro con affetto. Il gusto è pacato, le tematiche grandi ma accennate.
Ideale con cioccolata calda e mezza lacrimuccia.

Presents
christmas, almost
Funny, it's cold but it burns: mental sketches,
how things keep itching after and after
Hold on, to meanings
wrapped: the prices were left uncovered, inside
Lick open bleeds, lately,
tighten hurt as you spur it, looking down on me
I have no means to retort.

If the public gets to glimpse at state-of-the-art tech like this is, then my tendency to paranoia deduces that in the sancta sanctorum of labs, in military supersecret bunkers and stuff, they certainly have something better already. Or not?
All depends by the gap between assumed technology level, which is the one we are aware of having reached, and the actual technology that exists as industrial or military secret.
It depends also from the pace R&D;D divisions can keep. Like, Nintendo.
Nintendo has set benchmarks all the way long from marketing NES, which became the new standard, to Wii.
In the same time it took for Nintendo to come up with NES, Gameboy, Supernes, SEGA, its major competitor, insisted in a frantic production of new add-ons and consoles: Mastersystem, Megadrive/Genesis, Game Gear, Mega CD, Sega 32x, and SEGA Saturn. Then Playstation made its explosive entrance, the harbinger of times to come, and SEGA Saturn and Nintendo 64 followed.
Now: all over the Playstation Era, that I think will come to an end with the next generation of the Wii, Nintendo had to give in several portions of international markets, and basically focused on pampering the hard-core Nintendo fans, and more generally to a vast faithful public, attached to Nintendo characters, storylines and gameplay.
A great war of graphics and numbers has been going on between Sony and Microsoft.
In the meantime, aside but aware, Nintendo R&D presented their managers with Nintendo DS, a slightly odd double-screened portable console: when it was marketed in the US, it swarmed the whole country ceaselessly since the very first weeks on. What is striking about DS, is its creative approach to technology. Even though most games might disappoint hardcore gamers, or be markedly oriented towards kids and women, no one can help appreciating the idea behind it, the freshness of the conceptwork.
And then, at the big big Expo, all there betting on numbers and discussing anti-aliasing, all there toasting at the durable gradients of expansion of the industry, at its boom, all curious to see the presentation of Xbox 360, and Playstation 3.
And Wii?
Interesting, funny...but what a weird name. Shall people like it?
Undemanding graphics, uncomparable to the next-gen consoles.
Hmmm....
A few weeks go by, months pass, and people that I have never heard uttering a single word about videogames, come to me and ask me if I know that Nintendo console...
Wii?
How I see it, Nintendo is very conservative with resources, and invests so heavily and so appropriately in R&D, that its products set new standards every time.
The strategy behind it is open-minded too: whilst surely videogame market is expanding, there sure are far more possible users outside of that- globally speaking - niche.
because the growing market of which you read news, is simply formed by the generation that was twelve when PSX came out, plus the new one, and portions of old gamers. But it's all people that feel at ease using 5-button combos, it's star-trek like joypads.
Old people, the very young, and partially women are little inclined towards this type of learning, and get easily bored or frustrated.
Nintendo's all-in was based on realistic factors:
- However large the present market grows, it can never be larger than the cathegories of people that are presently left out of it.
- A very futuristic console which is easy and reliable will attract elements of this new potential market.
- Even hardcore, experienced gamers are soon going to be tired of consoles which are more and mroe powerful, but offer the same concept.
In addition, Wii is a landmark in history, but it shall go unacknowledged for another hundred years, because it is the first step into actual cyberculture. Like the radio or the TV, Wii is the first mass-appliance for cyberspace. It is not recognised yet as such, because of course, a few years need to pass by before goggles and gloves come to your house, but it's a matter of time.
So history-wise, Wii is a kind of one-in-a-lifetime "plus" on the managers' evaluation sheet
(like: "Success in making this company enter history" "YES")

Road Rage - Catatonia
Come round you can take a piece of mine
And if all you've got to do today is hesitate,
Come here, you can leave it late with me.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence,
Calm down, you're as guilty as can be,
If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday,
Yesterday's through, now do anything you please.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
You're losing your mind.
You, you've been racing through the best days
You, you've been racing through the best days.
Space age, road rage, fast lane,
And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come here, you can take a piece of mine.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page, you give me road rage,
Racing through the best days,
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
But you and I know,
We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage,
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over, you and I know
We all live in the space age, you give me road rage,
Racing to the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
Losing your mind

Buongiorno
Per stimolarla uso trucchi/ e basta un attimo per dimenticare dove volevo andare
Si ritrae se la maltratto, si distende se mi avvicino/ per questo non riesco a scrivere storie
Brucia troppo/ che non siano brevi, o folli.
E' l'età che ha, ancora, / esplode in gocce di visione superconcentrate
è una ghiandola/ dove c'è già tutto, da capo al fine, il vissuto, il perchè, tutto in un secondo/
è veleno,/ poi sparisce e non ne resta traccia, ma resto intossicato di bellezza/
Inizia sempre con parole a caso/

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
Nei miei occhi
Maldisposto
Camuffato
Senza che nessuno sappia
Si nasconde il viso
Si acquatta il serpente
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And Ill hear you
Scream again
Il sole
Nella mia disgrazia
Bollore
Tanfo d’estate
sotto il nero
Il cielo sembra morto
Chiama il mio nome
Attraverso la schiuma
Ti sentirò e
Urlerò ancora
Black hole sun
Wont you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Wont you come
Wont you come
Sole Buco Nero
Dimmi che verrai
E spazzerai via la pioggia
Sole Buco Nero
Dimmi che verrai
Dimmi che verrai
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
Balbettante,
Freddo e bagnato
Ruba il calore del vento,
Stanco amico
Non sono più tempi
Per gente onesta
E a volte
Già da troppo
Per serpenti
In my shoes
A walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore
Nelle scarpe
Un sonnambulo
E che la mia giovinezza
Non mi abbandoni
Il cielo scacci
L’inferno
Nessuno più
Canta
Come te
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear
Chinare il capo
Annegare la paura
Fino a quando
Non scomparite tutti.

Killafornia - Cypress Hill, B-Real
Listen to this spiked, muttered, neurotic and syncopated encounter
of beat and flow. It is understood that without the music reading this text will result in a most tragically dull experience.
[B-Real]
Living in the city of the Scandalous
Shisty motherfuckers, can't even trust my own brothers
So who can I choose to trust, me, that's who
Niggas want a piece of the pie, fuck off and die!
Jealous, envious fools want to rush this
Loco, trooping ass nigga with the cash, shit
Motherfuckers just get your own, and leave mine alone
Forty-five places to get done
Send out your invitation
To the party of your elimination
I got peeps that play for keeps, (Hardball)
Now I'm laying your ass down to sleep
But every hustler wants to be bawling
But I got the balls for the shot calling
I pull strings, the Don King, only in America
Then I hustle, and flex my muscle
[Hustlers]
--Yeah, man, I've been out here
running game for eight years
--I know I'm getting tired of standing
on this corner
--Nigga, I want a fat pad, and fly ass pool
Finest motherfucking bitches, jewels
and all that shit, if I got to take it
from a nigga
--Shit, let him run for me then
--I can work for myself, don't have to
work for nobody, I'll be my own hustler
[B-real]
Where can I roam to get my hustle on
Killafornia, stacking the chips, got the full clips
Loaded and cocked, I'm used to running with the Glock
Nina Millimeter, lighting up the fucking block
Now, who you gonna trust?, who can you trust?
I don't know, but if you coming on my corner
I think I'm gonna bust
You can't handle us, devious, dangerous
Criminal mentality, insanity
I move weight, from state to state
All the niggas moving weights, can you relate?
[Hustlers]
--Damn, what's up, I see you
pushing that big time weight
--I told you, I wasn't bullshitting
--You coming up, aight!
--When I seen you three or four
months ago I told you
--Got respect for a man now
--Handle your shit!
[B-Real]
Where can I choose to get my hustle on?
In the alleyway, lighting up all night long
Fuck working at McD's, I'm rolling with the O.Z's
In the QP's, puffing on trees
Who can I trust?, who can you trust?
Not that shady motherfucker in the city Los Scandalous
[Hustlers]
--Well, well, little man came up a little bit
--It feels good having money in the pocket
--Fuck that nine to five bullshit, right?
--Yeah, kick that shit to the curb
--But you got to look out for the scandalous motherfuckers
Cuz niggas is tricky than a motherfucker
--Yeah, but motherfuckers got to look out for us too
You know what I'm saying
I'm just as shisty as a nigga
--Shit, set me up and niggas are gonna die
--You get set up back, cuz we ain't having that bullshit
--I got your back, you got mine, that goes without saying
--Twenty-seven and mo' baby, twenty-seven and mo'
--Let's get the fuck out of here"
