Giorgio Bettinelli e Pandemonium suonano “Barista” in RAI, nel 1977. Un Giorgio inedito, attore e cantante, in questa perla sconosciuta del tardo beat italiano. Giusto per ricordare, ancora una volta, questo poliedrico personaggio. Mi manchi, Mr. Vespa.
It’s good sometimes to discover that somewhere people are still doing good horror movies. And it’s not America!! This time is Thailand.
In a time when the Star Striped movie industry is dying on its last legs and “borrowing” (to say the least offensive) here and there, especially from the Asian markets, it’s quite inspiring to find that the source of if not original, at least brilliant thrills, is now centered in the East. (more…)
Non ho mai avuto grande fiducia o apprezzamento per le donne in viaggio: spesso lente, sperdute, aggrappate a una Lonely Planet, SEMPRE incapaci di mantenere i miei ritmi o anche solo di alzarsi dal letto e inforcare lo zaino sulle spalle in maniera efficente (intendo: in circa 15 minuti)… quasi tutte, compresa Kit Yeng 
Ovviamente non si puo’ generalizzare, e una tantum capita di incontrare donne di spessore e, soprattutto, con qualcosa da dire.
Ho incontrato Valeria, la “Signora Tripmaitrop”, a Kuala Lumpur con suo marito Paolo e quando ho deciso di cominciare a fare qualche intervista per approfondire gli argomenti di viaggio, ho pensato di prendere Valeria come esempio di “travellin’ woman” capace di imprese di tutto rispetto.
Ma non parleremo dei suoi viaggi, dei posti che ha visto o di altre banalita’ da “Manuale del Viaggiatore Zaino in Spalla” (ma chi e’ quel coglione all’EDT che permette di tradurre dall’Inglese in maniera cosi’ orrenda le guide Lonely Planet? E poi c’e’ gente come me che rimane senza lavoro…)… Valeria ha accettato da gran donna di rispondere alle domande di una Scimmia Maliziosa all’inverosimile… il risultato poteva diventare lo script di un mondo movie alla “Emmanuelle:perche’ violenza alle donne?” o di un porno storico alla “Messalina Orgasmo Imperiale” , invece ci siamo limitati a dare dei preziosi consigli di viaggio per le donne, ragazze e ragazzine che come Valeria hanno voglia di vedere il nostro meraviglioso mondo.
E in una nuova tradizione monkeyrockworldiana, inauguriamo la serie delle videointerviste di culto…. ciak! motore! AZIONE!!!
I am in Myanmar (Burma) at the moment and probably forced not to work on the site for the whole lenght of my stay.
A few people know about Myanmar and fewer people know about its problems. I am not the first one to talk about this and won’t be the last, and probably not even the most prolific or interesting teller of this country’s unique segregation from the World. But while I am there living my Myanmar experience and writing about it, I want to present some videos contributed by a new friend, and a man I strongly admire.
Antonio Graceffo, an Italian American adventure writer and martial arts enthusiast, left a Wall Street finance background to literally dive into Asian adventures and languages. One of his most recent projects is a documentary called “In Shanland” : defying the Burmese government’s ban on journalists, Antonio crossed the border under the protection of the Shan State Army, and began filming interviews with IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) within the war zone.
I am currently interviewing Antonio for Monkeyrockworld, and I thought this series of posts can be a good introduction to Myanmar, its people, and Antonio to my readers. You will definitely enjoy. (more…)
