Someday you can find me…

… in a champagne supernova. I know, the quality of the video is not the best you might get, but hey, that’s what you get from a normal digital camera. And yes, the shadow shouting down there is me

Thanks to Tytti for the footage!

The unforgettable fire

And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay this time, stay tonight in a lie.
Ever after is a long time
And if you save your love
Save it all

Come un colombo intorno a un pallone?

An a cappella performance by Mau and Dani (Lessandra is just teasing…)

London underground

Never been in London, but after this song, I might like to have an underground experience.

Download the .mp3, or buy their album. The money is raised for Macmillan Cancer Relief.

Air Guitar World Championship

Raffa — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 17:41:39 +0000

This year is the ~~tenth~~ eleventh anniversary of the Air Guitar World Championship, which is organised in Oulu and whose main rule is: performing as a guitarist without a guitar. Yes, just like that.

Now, during the years, national competitions have been organised and the winners are given the chance to compete in the Oulu world final.

This year is the first year that Italy will take part to the competition. Actually there is also the Air Guitar Italy website. Professionally created by South Tyroleans, and only in German. Someone willing to translate it into Italian? Mä en valitettavasti puhu saksaa, ooops, I mean, tyvärr kan jag inte tyska, well, entschuldigung, ich spreche kein Deutsch, something like that.

The final will be the 8th of Septemper, 2006. Congratulations to the Italian winner, Christian "der Prettauer" Steinhauser, we'll see you the next week!

Sorriso come voi media esso?

I love The Killers. I like when they say "Well somebody told me / you had a boyfriend / who looks like a girlfriend / that I had in February of last year" (Somebody told me), or when they say "Now they’re going to bed / and my stomach is sick / and it’s all in my head / but she’s touching his chest / now, he takes off her dress / now, let me go" (Mr. Brightside). Their debut album, Hot Fuss, is really great.

Then I heard that they are going to release their second album and I decided to go and have a look at their web site to see when it'll be released, and I found a nice flash presentation where, as if it were an old Italian film, you read:

"Island records presenta… The Killers, SORRISO COME VOI MEDIA ESSO".

Yes, that's right. Well, not really right. That is just the literal translation of the title of one of their hits, Smile like you mean it. For not Italian speaking people, here is what that sentence really means: sorriso (smile, noun, not verb), come (as/like, that was right), voi (you, personal pronoun, second plural person, subject form), media (mean, yes, but in the mathematical meaning of average), esso (it, personal pronoun, third singular person, subject form).

That is: the smile as you average it (literally translated back to English, otherwise it just means nothing).

Now, apart from the fact that I've shown that I know a bit of grammar, the point is: with all the money they have made, couldn't they hire an Italian translator for those few words (for example me )? They are not only famous in English speaking countries, are they?

Well, the new album will be soon released, and those words will be lost in space. And they're great, anyway

For those of you wondering what would be the right translation, here it is: "SORRIDI COME SE LO VOLESSI". Close match, in'it?
