one of the best moments in my (musician-)life - to play our bastardized german lyrics-LA GUERRE DES TUQUES version, on our very last show. in the wet april of the crucial 2005 year at the E-Cube, in a to be gentrified-neighboorhood in montréal.
. this song is part of a tape that my family listened to for years while on summer holidays, mostly while driving . only italian canzones, from the late fifties to the early eighties - my father spent three years of this childhood in Rome.
many years later, i rediscovered that tape while cleaning up the family house. the distinctive class of Caterina Caselli was instantly evident. together with Dave and all the other friends involved in La Guerre Des Tuques, we covered Perdono (with german lyrics performed by a lady who didn't know what she was singing) on our last show, in the early summer of 2005. probably our best performance ever.
just compare Caselli to any of the british or french singers of the sixites. see?
recently, i tried to start a little Caselli-hype by buying a bunch of 7inches via ebay.it and trying to resell them in the most repected record store in town. guess what? the one posted was sold for 25€! the other two are still for sale, though.
this is meant to be a commented and life-commenting archive of my 7inch collection, considered as a syncretic unity. part life-ersatz, part pharmacy, part simple fun. inspired by my friend dave. meant to inspire you to buy singles. and to listen to them. eventually serving to understand me, in case you don't. one song from each 7". no alphabetical order, just spontaneous grabs. in the end, you'll get them all.
