Un 2022 dolceamaro si appresta a chiudersi, tra il mondo là fuori che esplode e qualche soddisfazione come il ritorno al Primavera Sound e le attività radiofonica e da DJ Selecter.
Moltissimi gli album comprati, solo sentiti o a volte by-passati (chiedo scusa a Afghan Whigs, Trentemoller, Big Thief, Sharon Van Etten, Gently Tender, Neil Young) con un listone concerti finalmente nutrito (ma fanno male Supergrass e Reigning Sound andati alle ortiche). Nei dischi ho voluto premiare i Fontaines D.C. di “Skinty Fia”, band capace di smarcarsi dalle catalogazioni di genere con un talento degno di pietre miliari come “The Queen Is Dead” e “Urban Hymns”; poi troviamo le altre versioni del post-punk nel 2022, contaminato dalla dance per Special Interest, rumoroso ascoltando le giovanissime Horsegirl. Vecchie glorie in mostra: Destroyer, Suede e Lambchop e lavori finalmente da scolpire nella pietra per Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever e Viagra Boys. Non mancano i nomi in ambito power-pop e garage-rock; tra i live cuori per Beck, Idles e The Dream Syndicate. In calce una Top 100 riassuntiva all’antico, poichè giustamente non tutti scelgono di buttare la loro musica su Spotify. Lunga vita ai supporti fisici!
