«Carina/diventi tutti i giorni più carina», cantava Fred Buscaglione, ma cosa significa e sottintende questo vocabolo talmente abusato da diventare quasi vacuo? In un mondo iperconnesso dove la massima espressione del cute, del kawaii, sono le foto dei gattini sul Web, la forza assertiva di un bello o brutto lascia spazio alla effimera frivolezza di una parola che «si distingue per la rimozione di ogni contrasto, per la sua voglia di perdersi rispetto alle connotazioni e di smantellare ogni solido pilastro: quanto è carino elude le dicotomie, disprezza le opposizioni, non si cimenta nelle contese». Il filosofo Simon May (Carino! Il potere inquietante delle cose adorabili) ha elaborato una teoria che lega il termine al tempo presente, sviscerandone il lato più subdolo, simbolo dell'indeterminatezza attualmente imperante e di «un'estetica senza pretese di autenticità». Lo incontra la scrittrice e filosofa Lucrezia Ercoli.
L'autore parlerà in inglese, con interpretazione consecutiva in italiano.

This isn't the full one with that bridge section, not really a fan of that bit to be honest so I decided to do the omnibus cut that would be played on Sunday afternoons.
I've had this one in the vault for a while, pretty much did it the same time I did the 1994 one. I've now grown to like the 1985 theme, I used to think it was so eerie sounding in a way but the dynamics of the piano and the DX7 bells really sound nice.

The award winning podcast returns for another episode packed with cheap thrills and cheap laughs! This week, Paul and Eli are dipping their toes into the murky waters of “Silverman’s Platters” to review three strange musical charity shop discoveries. There is quite the variety ranging from cheesy Dutch Moog arrangements to soul sapping ballads sung by a soap opera loser! There is even time for a dash of post-punk novelty too. Which will be a “platter” and which will be a “splatter”? Only time will tell. There is also the opportunity to revisit an often neglected segment, “Tales From The Shop Floor” which promises the usual confounding stories with the usual dirty denouement. Whilst it’s the same economy comedy as usual, there is a lot of emotional manipulation at play. Eli is forced into making more than his fair share of apologies and Paul is in full on gaslighting b*stard mode, which can never end well.

CheapShow is a comedy podcast all about getting the very best out of the worst! Be it Poundlands, Charity Shops, Car Boot Sales or Bargain Bins, hosts Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman poke around in the corners of the high streets and internet to find treasure in the trash.

One week it could be a studio based show, the next, a live comedy event. It could even be a location report or a scripted adventure! A few things it is, however, is rude, crude, silly and drizzled in pop culture, nostalgia and plenty of verbal violence!

It has guests, videos, songs, reviews, games and dares.  We apologise in advance!

Una manifestazione all'insegna del divertimento culturale: cinque giorni di incontri con autori, reading, spettacoli, concerti. Dal 1997 a Mantova.

A young aspiring composer from the UK. I specialise mainly in creating music that would fit in the period of late 20th century television. I spent many years recreating the 'Thomas' soundtrack and gradually went on into my own works, creating music of many different genres.
