[schizografia]

[…] la cultura, contrariamente a quanto si crede, è restrittiva, limitativa, oscurantista. Quello che manca alla cultura è il gusto della germinazione anonima, innumerevole […] non posso pensare al ministero della cultura se non come alla polizia della cultura […] I professori sono scolari attardati che, lasciate le aule, sono usciti dalla scuola da una porta per entrarvi dall'altra […] La cultura, come un dio simbolico, non chiede altro ai ministri del suo culto che delle cerimonie votive […] La cultura è essenzialmente selettiva e dunque impoverisce […] Le produzioni che avevano qualcosa di veramente sovversivo sono state sempre totalmente screditate e non hanno mai avuto il minimo posto nella cultura. La cultura opera un condizionamento continuo, a cominciare dal linguaggio che impone: Il vocabolario [...] è il nemico del pensiero […] un aspetto particolarmente importante della nostra cultura è quello di stabilire dappertutto delle misure che corrispondono a scale di valore […] l'idea di bello [...] porta con sé l'intenzione propriamente culturale di una priorità donata a un certo tipo di opere su tutte le altre [...] dietro c'è il magister con la sua ferula e dietro di lui il gendarme. Se è della bellezza che intendete produrre, siete dalla loro parte, favorite la diffusione della loro merce, alimentate la loro predica.

Jean Dubuffet, Asfissiante cultura

Mário Costa Quartet - Chromosome

In the very beginning of 2023, it is time for Mário Costa’s sophomore take on his more personal and authorial project. The new album is titled Chromossome, named after Costa’s rigorous and custom-made writing, considering the DNA of each one of the musicians that he carefully handpicked for the project. Listening to Chromossome it is easy to be enticed by that acute detail of compositions thought as a means to explore each performer’s qualities, enhancing the genius of these captivating and staggering nine tracks. If we keep in mind that Cuong Vu’s trumpet can be found in Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, David Bowie or Laurie Anderson’s projects, that Bruno Chevillon’s double bass is an habitué in bands lead by Louis Sclavis, Michel Portal or Daniel Humair, and that Benoît Delbecq’s piano has found its way into the music of such diverse protagonists as Evan Parker, Mark Turner or Mary Halvorson, we may get a pale idea of the musical gathering that is taking place here. But only a pale idea because the music that is born out of this four brilliant and very different personalities is greater than the sum of its parts. Each track that Mário Costa offers his accomplices feels like a red carpet for them to explore on, creating the ideal context for a miraculous musical response. And having said that, it is still so little a description. Only music can truly speak for the bewilderment and the creativity outburst that unfolds from Chromossome.

Heya Shade! Delightful of you to visit and thank you so much for sending something in 💜💜✨🥹 Also no prob, I get an excuse to yap about my guys, I will take this like a champ 🫡

#18 Marina Costa (aka Dan's older sister)

Marina is a wordsmith and a master manipulator. Most people write her off as just another pretty face, a gold digger that married up for money and status. And she takes advantage of it, lures people into a false sense of security, loosens their lips with a precise application of Rain Flames to make them relax so they tell her everything she needs to know.

#27 Mario Rossi (aka the local Varia ghost that's just always been hanging around in the castle)

Nobody knew Mario’s real name, not even the ghost himself. When questioned he would just scowl at you in offense, asking if “you would remember things after centuries have passed and your brain has already turned to dust.”

Which…  fair enough.

Fortunately, exorcising Mario had never been a priority because the old man was at worst an annoyance with outdated sensibilities. So, while threats of attack had been made when he kept overstepping boundaries and making passive aggressive comments on women’s martial status, people mostly left him alone because figuring out his origins simply wasn’t worth the effort.

It helped that when Mario wasn’t busy running his mouth, he would actually be willing to lend the living a hand. As long as you could stand him chatting your ear off, he’d share the latest gossip with you, maybe even give you a hint for the newest betting pool if you are lucky. Mario liked attention, the spotlight, the warm regard only the living could bring. So, he didn’t mind helping especially when he spotted someone in need. He led lost newcomers back to their rooms, distracted one to many members from a panic attack and even cleaned up some of the messes his fellow ghosts have caused.

And why wouldn’t he? After all Mario might have forgotten his name, his age and his family but he would always remember his status as the owner of the Castle and he’d never let something as trivial as death prevent him from being a good host.

Match Review: Porto 3-3 Manchester United

I swear to god, this team...

Okay, the positives. I'll try to be objective...

Erik Ten Hag changed his tactics slightly. He made better use of Casemiro and Eriksen and toned the high press down to avoid such an exposed midfield. It looked more comfortable.

Rashford scored again, putting him 5th in United's goalscorers in Europe of all-time. His goal came from hugging the left touchline and driving at the RB, before jinking in past him + RCB and squeezing a shot in at near post past the keeper. Classic Rashford, we love to see it.

Rasmus Hojlund also scored on his first start since injury, with a lovely run through the lines to squeeze in another shot/goal at the keeper's near post. So unlucky for Diogo Costa, who is a top goalie.

Amad Diallo is so creative. We lose so much when he's rotated out of the team.

Andre Onana continued to be a great shot-stopper and kept Porto from scoring many more than they did, despite their rapid pace and breaking on United repeatedly. Stoic.

Harry 'Slabhead' Maguire delivered some salvation in the form of a late equaliser to spare blushes. "Time running out on Manchester Unitedddddd... they've equalised!" Despite coming on as a late sub, despite formerly being the captain and now having Martinez, De Ligt and Yoro ahead of him, the big lad still shows up and gives effort. He's not an amazing player, but fair play he's shown proper resilience and professionalism in the last year or so.

Cool. Now for the shitshow...

Eriksen has to be used as a 10 and only a 10. He's fine tackling higher up the field, but defending his own box he's a liability, and at his age + with his heart issues... we need to be moderating how much exertion he's doing. Yes, I know he's a professional and has experts on hand to guide him, but the point still stands. His creativity and consistency in passing and decisions in the final third is SO good that it's a waste to have him as an 8 in a three across the middle.

De Ligt had a bad game. He wasn't able to jump and intercept the cross in the build up to Porto's first, he was beaten in the air by Samu Omorodion for Porto's equaliser, and he lost Samu again for goal number three. Hopefully just an off-day at the office, but it was a very bad day.

Martinez was at fault for Porto's first and third goals. For number one, Mazraoui and De Ligt were beaten in the air, which is disappointing of Matthijs but he was running and looking over his shoulder. Onana saves the header but the rebound falls to no11 - Pepe. Martinez was goal-side from him but ran to block a gap and never returned to his rightful position, and as soon as the deflected save happened it was a done thing. For number three, Martinez doesn't respect Pepe's pace and gets left a stride behind him. Cue pass, assist, goal.

Dalot. He's not a LB. He inverts to cover for the fact he can't overlap with any comfort, and that makes him a 2nd DM at times but that causes confusion both in midfield and at LB. I don't believe it's coincidence that Martinez looks a shadow of his former self with the confusion around positional responsibilities and duties when Dalot is floating around like a fart in the breeze. He also could have done more to put his head in the way of the assist for goal no2.

United were 2-0 up after 20 minutes and 2-2 just 14 minutes after that. Then 3-2 down minutes into the second half. HOW is any manager supposed to succeed with that level of focus ffs? That's player mentals at fault, because I've seen these players do better and be braver.

Ten Hag isn't innocent either though. A half-time substitution of the ELECTRIC Marcus Rashford, goal to his name, for Garnacho. Why? He had their RB on toast. He had many more minutes of terrorising João Mário. We suspected injury at the time, but then afterwards Erik said it was rotation/rest for Sunday vs Villa. PLAY THE FUCKING MATCH IN FRONT OF YOU. Christ almighty. I understand rest, but we're early in the season and confidence is everything. A winning team will play better vs Villa than a rested team. A confident Marcus Rashford will play better and be more feared after 2 or 3 goals vs Porto than a rested Rashford.

Stats tell the story. 14 shots, 7 on target for Porto. That's poor from United. In contrast, TWENTY NINE shots for United and only 8 on target. Jesus christ, lads. The fuck was that? Cut out the speculative efforts and actually work proper chances.

On this note, the Garnacho Greed. Alejandro had a chance off a Mazraoui shot in the 62nd minute. He shot at an awfully acute angle and did nothing, but he had the time and space to go back outwards and look to pass or cross and try again. Low percentage shots vs recycling possession is something he needs to learn more about, else his decision making will cost him that dream Real Madrid move in future.

Bruno fucking Fernandes. 2nd red card in two games. I don't see this one getting rescinded. I sympathise with the fact that he has the right to go for the ball, but it was chin/jaw height. You have to know the risks of a defender or keeper putting their head on that ball, and on a yellow card too... it's just very silly and poor intelligence. Hopefully a game or two out will sort Bruno out mentally because at the moment he's an issue.

Hojlund apologised after the game for a social media post making light of his goal - a touch insensitive after the draw and a frustrating performance, but he's a young lad and shit happens. So long as he keeps scoring, I'll not mind.

Next up then an away trip to the mighty Villa. I'm only half joking. Jhon Duran at it again midweek to secure a 1-0 win at home to Bayern. A draw on Sunday will be a good result for United, as depressing as that is, but maybe, just maybe, our shit form can lull them into a false sense of security? I doubt it.

Fun Italian fact! "Grazie," which English speakers tend to pronounce "GRAHT-see," is actually pronounced "GRAHTS-yeh." I only figured that out because I went to Italy for Spring Break in college, and when I boldly and apparently incorrectly thanked a convenience store cashier, she slowly repeated it back with the correct pronunciation.

I wonder if she still thinks about that sometimes: that American who somehow ended up in an area with absolutely zero English speakers, taking her hint and realizing they'd been saying it wrong and then thanking her one last time with the correct pronunciation. 'Cause God knows I think about it every time I come across that word. 😆
