Music, Movies, and Books

Movies & Series
the IT Crowd, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Lajoie, early Family Guy, The Class,

Music
- contemporary music: almost everything about xx th century (Pierre Boulez, Charles Ives, Alexander Skrjabin, Sergej Rachmaninov, Steve Reich, and so on...)
I have to admit Skrjabin and Rachmaninoff are the most incredible piano composers I ve ever heard;
- guitar geniuses (Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane mainly, plus Daniele Gottardo)
I have a deep admiration for Shawn Lane because even though his career was not as long or as proliphic as some others famous guitar player he wrote the best guitar that was ever record (One note at a time for example) he was simply an incredible human being (gone too soon)
- indie music
Tiger Lou, Sufjan Steven, Bon Iver, Chris Careebba and Dashboard Confessional,
- heavy metal...tons but mainly Chuck Schuldiner...

books
Emanuele Severino (but from the book La Gloria I am not able to follow his philosophical Journey)

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn. I want to know and improve other languages (English, German, French, Swedish, Norwish, Spanish,Russian!). I want to know how people in other country live.
I can teach how to play a guitar and tune it. I can teach the history of my region. I can teach my jokes, but you are not allowed to use them in a public event/newspaper/Instagram posts.

I want to share many things! Except my toothbrush! You cant ask that!
