Today is @tychi’s birthday

a special occasion like very few others to celebrate the anniversary of the appearance of a wonderful person on planet Earth

@GustavinoBevilacqua noooo era solo una cassa bluetooth

@GustavinoBevilacqua Ieri sera, ma non c’erano proprio loro eh

99 Posse a Vallebona

Just finished an incredible conversation with @andypiper.

I am so glad the Fediverse has people like Andy working for it, and it has been really wonderful to discuss about many many different topic but that can be boiled down to:

let’s defeat billionaries’ oppression thanks to the power of communities!

A huge public thank you for your work, Andy, and to the whole team at @Mastodon for making the Internet a better place (but in particular to @ClearlyClaire for maintaining Mastodon Glitch which is the most beautiful soft-fork ever made)

@GustavinoBevilacqua This is the curse part of it ahahah

Curiosity is the most special blessing and the most sneaky curse

@GustavinoBevilacqua Spero sia stata la prima di molte occasioni future, in cui spero potrai venire!

Fun story:

it is one of my greatest dreams to host the “Rassegna della Canzone d’Autore” one of the most renowned international prizes for songwriting, held at Ariston, the same theatre where the Festival di Sanremo (the Italian Eurovision) takes place. Antonio Silva, the current presenter who has been the only presenter Club Tenco has ever had since the first Rassegna in 1974, knows about my ambition, and he considers me his nemesis, but deep down we love each other.

Oh, this is not the story, actually It was just the premise. Here’s the story:

The first time he allowed me on stage with him, it was in a minor event of Club Tenco in la Pigna (where @scambi takes place), in 2018. I still remember vividly going on that stage under huge pressure, and introducing Enrico Nigiotti. While that was happening, the historical photographer of Club Tenco, my friend Mauro Vigorosi, shot the first picture you see in this post. It became my profile picture almost everywhere.

Last weekend, almost seven years after that picture, Mauro shot another one, the second one you see here.

Obviously, it totally has to become my new profile picture, now.

End of stori*es*.

Woah, last weekend I presented two evenings of almost non-stop music in the Temple of Italian songwriting, the Club Tenco headquarters. It was incredible to introduce on-stage talented and marvellous human beings who performed awesome music.

Club Tenco is one of those sacred institutions with an incredible history that, unfortunately, are dying because of the lack of young participants.

Since 2017, I am one of the only five under-50 members of the association, and it’s saddening, but also it makes our involvement so special! I am glad the @scambi team (fourth picture) is joining the resistance. If it’s happening, it’s thanks to my wonderful friend Francesco Maccario, a grumpy yet committed Club Tenco member who valued our participation since we were 17, and who now still fights for our voice as young members to be heard.

This is the stuff I love.

Not caring about huge stages nor big crowds, fucking the capitalistic and empty music industry, resisting by still listening to the words in a song, by getting together despite everything and listening to/making/playing music. A bit like what @radiofreefedi and @musicbrainz represent in the digital domain.

Please read the alt text for more context about the pictures.

(I am sorry there are mostly pictures of me, but these are the only ones they sent me. I am egocentric, yes, but not that much )

Che magia queste due serate al Tenco… Nel pubblico quattro gatti, ma è sempre speciale e potentissimo essere nel tempio della musica d’autore…

@j12t B, absolutely!

Che bello

Oggi è l’ultimo giorno per iscriversi a Bari Città Aperta, 10 giorni di hacking e avventure con La Scuola Open Source, a cui parteciperò anche io.

Una bomba.

Stasera!

This is unbelievably cool!

It’s insane what the @postmarketOS are managing to pull off!

È per questo motivo che mi tocca paccare il @Merge_IT e la Summer School della Fondazione Finanza Etica, belin…

Venerdì 20 e sabato 21 giugno presenterò due serate di musica ininterrotta (o meglio, interrotta solo dal mio blaterare) dalle 19 a mezzanotte, nella meravigliosa sede del Club Tenco di Sanremo.

L’industria musicale diventa sempre più un settore di squali ossessionati dal profitto, mentre il Club Tenco rimane baluardo della musica sincera, che ha qualcosa di sentito e potente da voler comunicare. Il cantautorato non è morto e non morirà finché ci saranno squinternatз come noi che credono ancora nella poesia e nelle parole delle canzoni.

Parole d’Autore è una mini-rassegna che abbiamo inventato e deciso di dedicare unicamente ad artistз emergenti nel panorama italiano, in occasione della Festa della Musica del 21 giugno.

Sto ascoltando alcunз di loro per la prima volta in questi giorni, mentre altri sono amici che sono stra felice di vedere finalmente dal vivo nel contesto del Tenco.

Se sarete nei paraggi o non vi sarà troppo scomodo raggiungerci, io e la gang di @scambi vi aspettiamo. Ne varrà la pena.
