  okay everyone, i try to write a bit today. last nite, i can tell you a bit about. there are 3 nites of free concerts in torino!!! and the first concert was last nite. there were three torinese groups, i don't know if you've ever heard of them, but they were Subsonica, Africa Unite, and then Persiana Jones! it was raining all day until we arrived at the concert and when the music started and the thousands of young folks who were in the audience started dancing, it seemed that the energy generated seemed to clear the sky! the stars were shining brightly! anyway, the concert was great because Subsonica played a few songs solo and then all of a sudden Africa Unite was singing and playing together with Subsonica. so cool! and then Persiana Jones overlapped with Africa Unite after they played solo a bit! and then they all collaborated at the end. Subsonica is a bit ska, a bit Sublimish. Africa Unite, who i like, are reggae. one time i saw the dredlock clad singer of this group in Piazza Castello in the center of torino sing reggae with a full orchestra instumenting! so cool!
very innovative--go torino! just when i really start to hate torino, something like this happens and creates a new place in my heart for this city! and so many young people go to this concert! there are also some good looking people in this city, too, which you can only see at events like these, i guess. haha. anyway, Persiana Jones is a more metal group (perhaps like limp bizkit-ish? i don't know--a big bad bass guitar sound and some angry lyrics). anyway, i have met a new girl from ireland (and i've accepted my fate that i am not so easily going to meet any cool or compatible italians--so i am meeting the coolest foreigners instead!
and happy for this!). she is also a babysitter and is very very funny! it's sometimes strange how you can click so well, so fast with some people. she is one like this! i laugh a lot with her! she told me about the censorship of the radio song "Fuck what i said, it don't mean shit now...etc" in ireland (and i imagine the same in the usa) where there is not censorship in italy...and to imagine how lacking in words this song is makes me laugh so much!
anyway Edelle (the irish girl), Michaela (the czech girl), Mauro, Michelle, Sabrina (the salsa champ), and a new guy Francesco (and Sabrina's cousin who disappeared, stefano) all went in two Panda's (the most popular box car from the 70's i think) to the concert. then...three of us went dancing afterwards! so good to dance. and listen to what music we (and other 20-somethings)were dancing to (or boogey-ing to, as mum would say) all night: well...what's your guess.....i'll give you a few more minutes to think about it: well, it was all music that i knew all the words to...yep, daddy's music, mum's music, gary's music, Baby's Diner music: oldies!
it was so much fun! and the italians were loving it! and i especially was loving it! and only can you find this at GianCarlo, at torino's famous Murazzi! ciao tutti! keep it real!xx
