COFFEE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE...

This is me making some espresso outside of the Kopi squat in Berlin. Coffee is a SERIOUS issue, I'm not jokin' here.

It's really hard for me to live a long day without some brown engine, and it OBVIOUSLY has to be some ITALO ESPRESSO, not that american blend of dirty water...When I'm at home, when i wake up in the morning I have to drink at least a couple of mokas, which means between 6 and 12 espresso at the same time. I love the smell, the taste, the way it pumps my heart and the way my mind starts to think to 10000 things at time. Sometimes i have to stop to drink it because forced by external factors (usually it's just when i got a flu), and i could never think to go on tour without a camping stove, a moka and some grinded (ahahahah!) espresso...

One day my heart will break in 2 pieces, I know, but basically...i just don't give a fuck.

Anyway, i want to leave here a special top-something list, with all the stuff it's gonna make me mad in this week.

As you will notice, I've discovered SAXON just a few months ago and they are making me sick with their mix of '80's NWOBHM and pure rock.

Fuckin' a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

On the other side, after a long period listening to a lot of d-beat, crustcore and blackened crust, i'm back to my old time love: fastcore and powerviolence.

I cannot finish this post with a perfect song fitting for this topic:

BLACK COFFEE

Who are you with, where have you been
Imagination turns thoughts, reason can't change
Staring at the walls, think I know what I see
Anger and coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, drinking
black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking
black coffee, staring at the...
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, yeaaaaaaaaa

My heart is pounding, as stare at the wall
Its my turn to be jealous, now I don't stand for it all
In fact I'm pretty stupid, I'm feeling small
Anger and coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking
black coffee, staring at the...
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind

Yeaaaaaaaa
Drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee,
drinking black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking
black coffee, staring at the...
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, yea

If the night goes on, paranoia adultery
Why should I be so stupid, when I can't really see
The other side of the wall, is eating away at me
Anger and Coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking
black coffee, staring at the...
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind
