in a few days time (february 1), the new disc by baustelle is to come out - only in italy. the rest of the world has to contend with listening to the preview clips on the italian label site or watch the video to the song "charlie fa surf" on youtube.

and burro, the nice guy from the indieitalia blog posted the unavailable first two albums by baustelle "la moda del lento" and "sussidiario illustrato della giovinezza".

nino ferrer, vol. 6 - les cornichons / sottilette kraft commercial

in this little known commercial from around the early seventies, you can see nino ferrer acting and hear an instrumental of his song "les cornichons / il baccalà".

the original song about a picnic gone awry is beautifully illustrated in this music video clip - preserving the original idea while not slavishly reproducing it literally.
