Kastanienallee is everywhere
the Hauptbahnhof is the center of the world
the metro runs above my street
my blood is filled with Club Mate
drinking, driving through the rain
drinking, walking through the night
Berliner Weisse all the time
as I head on to Mauerpark, Mauerpark
from my flat in Gaudystrasse
Ja. Genau.
(Schönhauser Allee,
Prenzlauer Allee,
Landsberger Allee,
Frankfurter Allee,
Sonnenallee,
Treptower Park,
Innsbrucker Platz
und Bundesplatz.)

I change the rules,
I change the rules,
I change the rules of geography
I change the points,
I change the points,
I change the points of the compass.
Compass, compass, vivid support,
Visual support before I get lost
Parlo di frontiere, concezioni inesistenti,
geografie incerte, concetti improvvisati,
storture della scienza che cerco di capire
a volte affrontare, purché non per abdicare
a questo mondo assurdo che gira su se stesso
e prova ad andare avanti
in cerca di un qualche senso
però le coordinate sono solo indicative
le imposizioni termiche sono tutte arbitrarie
senza emozioni intrinseche...

Do you exist?
Do you exist?
Do you exist in the land of nowhere
surrounded by waters,
full of tourists from everywhere?
Elderly Germans talking achso,
horny Italians dressing tight,
drinking Brits kissing sangrias,
Balearic like nobody here
Because nobody, I mean nobody,
is Balearic here.

Marina,
go and have some fun,
a little cocaine, some kind of drug,
don’t give us panic
don’t make us sad
just have some fun
a cigarette,
keep your head up
and share a joke,
talk to the people
in front of you
and don’t be afraid
of being a girl,
that’s how we get
to make some friends
instead of killing ourselves.

Caprivi

È impossibile costruire muri intorno alle isole
la geografia è un incidente
il dito di Caprivi, le frontiere a tavolino,
gli atolli in mezzo al nulla, le isole della Frisia,
le dighe dei Delta Works,
la Barcellona incomprensibile,
i liquori blu di Curacao,
spruzzi d’Olanda nel Caribe,
spiazzi sparsi nei meandri dell’ignoto.
Mi trovo nel Café Desiatka a due passi dal fall-out,
Oppure Timisoara in mezzo alla Revoluția,
O anche a Caprivi nel dito namibiano,
O in una città persa in un isola che non c’è,
Come Nauru, Tristan da Cunha,
Le Falkland o chissà che,
In mezzo alla storia che fu e che ancor c’è
E non vuole andare via:
La condanna della geografia.
E poi la Corsica di Paoli, o Napoleone per i più,
Lampedusa, oppure Malta,
O scendendo ancor più giù
Paesi fatti e abbandonati
Come il Sudan del Sud,
La Somalia del ‘62
O qualunque altro posto
In cerca di una libertà
Però schiavo della realtà
Tragica e infinita più che mai.

Bald Chewbacca Barcelona, Spain
BALD CHEWBACCA is the electronic conversion of singer-songwriter Angelo Romano. A blend of groovy distorted bass lines, minimalist lyrics on vocoder and an eclectic mix of synthesisers, drone sounds and a FM radio from a Chinese convenience shop. A unlikely encounter between a Sicilian singer, a cheap electric bass and the world of keys, knobs and laptops. ... more
