Apple iTunes – who could live without it? I could certainly do without the “fucking Genius” at the top accessing the Apple iTunes store, before I can get ay playing something? How about it? Yes, I do purchase from the Apple store; but let me play what I have purchased first – please?

REM with We Are Scientists as the warm up band played at Palaolimpico in Torino (Turin) last night. Of course Tim happened to stumple across a gratis ticket, and went with a couple of the beautiful girlfriends friends. An excellent gig! Here’s some photos – sorry we were not nearer the stage but this really is a massive venue. Newly build for the 2006 Winter Olympics, and home to the ice hockey arena.

If know anything about Italian popular music living in Italy, then it is usually to forget your own, and listen to another countries. Every pub, bar and TV channel plays music from elsewhere and there is seemingly little music that isn’t imported in Italy.
It’s a shame as there is a lot of Italian musical talent. Maybe the government run Rai TV channels don’t do enough to publicize this, or maybe the Sky MTV type channels just pay the government too much?
But amongst this local talent is a band from Turin, called Subsonica:
This is the night I want with my beautiful girlfriend to see them for the second time this year. This by the way is a FREE party in the middle of the biggest square (piazza) in Turin, payed for entirely by the local municiple authority, and policed at no extra cost by guess who? Yes, the police (not an overcharging security company). Why doesn’t this happen in the UK Gordon Brown?
