What Kind Of Paint To Use In A Microwave

Edgar Lee Masters: the lawyer poet Egon Schiele


American writer and poet Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950), a lawyer by profession, but better known for his poetry collection, Spoon River Anthology, exemplifies the difficulties in admirable fashion identification of work skills by writing: but it sees the vocation of the lawyer or the sensitivity of the poet?

The writer Fernanda Pivano, who translated the famous library, says: "I was a girl when I read for the first time Spoon River : Cesare Pavese had brought me one morning that I had asked what is the difference between the American and English literature '(1). It was a stroke of lightning: "I opened it right in half, and I found a poem that ended like this: Kissing her lips to the soul, the soul of a sudden I ran . I wonder why these verses the breath away: it is so difficult to explain the reactions of adolescents [1].

and scholars of male and female, here is a reflection of the poet on the chemistry of love.

of fluids or solids.

And who can say how men and women will

Game Over (Ita) - Heavy Damage

Band: Game Over
Title: Heavy Damage
Nationality: Italian
Year: 2009
Production : Self-produced

From Ferrara arrive Game Over , quartet of guys who grew up on bread and thrash (80, then the stark) and for them, as may be heard by 'EP Heavy Damage, time seems to stand still. Their music is in fact a concentrated nostalgic, without any concessions whatsoever to panther and the like. Since the group's moniker
you can guess the reference style, bursting with the eye of course to and Nuclear Assault Overkill the first, the rhythm, as the genre demands tend to be incessant, insistent drums and the voice singer-bassist is running enough, with basic word we're good.
let him now more specifically with regard to the pieces, 5 rush of pure power metal (plus a small piece of 28 / 2) which are fairly pleasant listen, even reaching the goal of entering into the head of the listener through a fairly catchy and a series of repetitions that "reinforce the concept, imagine that live within these four guys play their terrible figure. It starts with
Dawn of the Dead, clean and simple opener, Teutonic-style, impossible not to be reminded Exumer or SDI, as it is impossible not to hum after it heard. Innocent Victims continues to run as fast as a train, do not move an inch from the previous Heavy Damage part by slowing the pace, giving the opportunity to recover from two previous trips, the piece remains so more content, but without exploding tire and only in the final. After the brief interlude NFH switch to Addiction Science, weak piece of the lot, it can not involve much. The final Tupa Tupa or Die the contrary is without doubt the best episode of Ep, the most compelling and with a refrain of the chorus, which gives the right to face the charge again thrash boost ahead soon after. In conclusion, this
Heavy Damage is certainly a good product with which these Game Over starting to get noticed, there are limits, this is undeniable, and I refer particularly to the rigid structure of the songwriting and predictably, in Indeed at times the feeling of deja-vu is palpable, it lacks the spark of originality that would let them jump in quality, but it is also true that there is room for improvement. The solos are another potential improvements, we could do more.
That said, keep an eye on this band, all that remains is to wait a full channel in which a new maturity Music, this EP is a good promise, it is their responsibility to remain strong.
A final note to the cover, drawn by hand, and grezzissima damn old-style, and fit for purpose!

Tracklist:
01. Dawn of the Dead
02. Innocent Victims
03. Heavy Damage
04. NFH
05. Addiction Science

Wet To Dry Straightener

Warknife (Ita) - Dream of Desolation

Band Warknife
Title: Dream of Desolation
Country: Italian
Year: 2009
Production: Self-produced

is not easy for me to be reviewing the debut of Salento Warknife , because I am very attached to this band because of the great friendship with them But I will try to be as neutral as possible.
After we pass this necessary introduction to sketching a brief history of this group, active since 2006 with 2 founding Simone (rhythm guitar) and Caesar (drums). After a period of apprenticeship for a couple of years and numerous line-up finally come to a stable that sees beyond the two founders, Fabrizio on lead guitar, Mark Daniel on vocals and bass. The time is therefore ripe to conceive the first album, titled Dream of Desolation , which besides being one of the 8 tracks is the old name of the band, replaced by the moniker Warknife .
Dream of Desolation is the result of the merger of two souls Warknife , the first on the old line up, devoted to extolling the Bay Area Thrash and clear reminder Testament, while the second is the current mold Death in the middle between Monstrosity and Blood Red Throne .
intro of War introduces us to the first part of this album, Into the Infernal Confusion , violent punch in the stomach of the listener, decisive and direct as any good opening track, with a shock stun Thrash, interrupted only by intervals in part reminiscent of the syncopated Machine Head of Burn My Eyes . The next
When All Burn proceeds along the same lines of previous evidence here in Mark, with his voice that draws the structure of the piece, at times powerful and fast, and sometimes more melodic and far-reaching, with pleasing deadlifts , fits perfectly enhanced by the guitar solo parts is low. The title track
Dream of Desolation is one of the most representative pieces of the group: excellent job of riffing on a piece that in addition to being easily catchy features several tempo changes that make it a fairly comprehensive piece. The only flaw the fact that he was "speeded up" than the live version, a choice that penalizes disk at certain points in the song making it less clear and more confusing.
Vermin however, this song focuses on a systematic basis and heavy guitars, here lord it with determination, supported by the carpet of double kick drum, the piece is developed and powerful, with soft inserts that accentuate the contrast with the roughness of the structure. The beautiful
Opening riff (reminiscent of the Slayer South of Heaven ) introduces A Dead Memories, song after great initial part falls a bit 'in tone, could not maintain the same level, except when is taken over the above riff. The solo is mercilessly out of context. The next
New Crusade, introduced by a brief phrase Nixon (my dear Warknife but c'azzecca Nixon with a text like the part in question, about religious fanaticism ????) shows the hockey shores more typically Thrash. The piece is among the most violent of the album (along all'opener) attack dry, persistently high rate, which marks a continuous banging drums, song definitely passed with flying colors.
Damned Silence is the song most dated of this Dream of Desolation , runs off very well and fairly pleasant, to be reported here the bass part of Daniel that has a large showcase to demonstrate its role in value added to the group.
closes the album March of the Souls Sentenced , simple and catchy song, which just follows the rhythm of a march and that is easily in my head. In conclusion, this
Dream of Desolation is a debut album that will surely attract more than good if a substantial support, I can only wish the group ambitious goals, because the capacity and reliability to achieve them are all right.

Tracklist:
1. Entrance
2. Into the Infernal
Confusion 3. When all burns
4. Dream of Desolation
5. Vermin
6. Dead Memories
7. New Crusade
8. Damned
Silence 9. March of the souls Sentenced

Ciementificio (Ita) - Blood Red White Bone

Band Ciementificio
title: Rosso Sangue Bianco Ossa
Nationality: Italian
Year: 2007
Production: Self

Sometimes in the midst of such great mob of whiners Metal / Satanic / Gothic jumps out of nowhere a few bands that still uses music to have fun and entertain. The Abruzzo
Ciementificio certainly belong to this category: four cute demented fan who meet in their debut White Blood Red Bones 40 minutes of pure fun in Metal! Titles like Zom-B , Zopito Concrete Cows and Delfino studded welcome us Ciementificio in size, probably a world where Makes no sense but that's okay!
are seven tracks on this disc, we start with Zom-B , download a better Thrash the cry of "From China to Peru will be zombies too!" that ends with a death wish good to all. The next
Blood Red White Bone despite giving the title track is in my opinion, the piece less engaging, but even so you can listen nicely. The tankardiana The Valley of the Dead follows the motto dell'opener, giving us gems like "Red sky at night, hopefully cement" .... before exploding in the final detachment from the classic pogo .... Applause!
Under the Blue Light is the culmination of delirium Ciementificio, based on the continuous repetition of the phrase "WITH LIGHT BLUE IN" preceded each time by a different variation and totally non-sense, which grows in an escalation of absurdity worthy of Gialappa's!
Cows, Zopito, Cement and Delfino studded are two full-bodied episodes (by 9 and 8 minutes) but despite the length can not be boring, rather they are an added value because of the good variety of the proposal, if the first has the air of a cheerful rhyme folleggiante, the second bringing the sound hardens the group on most beaches Punk / Thrash. I close with the rece
Macedonia's Interior Bovine already on the first compilation of Thrash Universe, full of Death, blood and truculent, the perfect anti-vegetarian anthem!
Blood Red White Bone conclusion was a great album that abounds in originality and insane, and related progster can safely stay away, but for those who want to indulge in a pleasant listening to a band that does not take itself seriously, Abruzzi these four are ideal!
"Where there was grass there is now ... .... a cement! "

Tracklist:
1. Zom-B
2. Red blood white blood
3. The valley of the dead
4. The blue light under
5. Concrete cows Zopito
6. Salad and veal offal
7. Delfino studded
