After the lively live streaming with Luigi de’ Foschi aka Jack O’Malley aka pibinko aka… (see link) Mauro was summoned for a summit with his colleagues from Thursdays for Past. This is a bottom-up movement which was initiated top-down in order to go sideways. But this is another story. The fact is that in order to meet his buddies, Mauro took his first train since his arrival in Italy (March 27, 2020…see here his personal blog).

The format created by the Jug Band Colline Metallifere to support “hybrid aggregation” (partly in physical spaces and partly online) talking about culture, environment, open innovation, and music. After Elena Maggi on light pollution (see the Feb. 12 recording) and Marco Marongiu from Oslo, Norway, on open innovation (see the Feb. 19 recording), on Saturday, Feb. 26 we will give the floor to VEA.
The singer and songwriter from Turin, also known as “mother of songs” will be at home, under the ole Antonelliana and close to the Holy Shroud. To be on par with these landmarks, Jack O’Malley (hosting the Jugcasts under the name of Luigi de’Foschi -i.e. Louis Shady- and wearing a fake beard) and Mauro Tirannosauro, will be in Florence, Italy, under the Brunelleschi dome and not far from the locations that Pope Francis will be visiting the following day (in this context we should also recall the text mining made by pibinko in 2015 on the Laudato Si’ encyclic see article 1 and article 2).
“We met VEA at the Sanrito 2017 Festival, where she won the contest (see link), and we are really glad of seeing her again for this Jugcast“, commented Louis Shady during the press conference which took place in his mind this morning. Mauro Tirannosauro, being a fine observer of the music market in Euro since Jurasic times added: “I hadn’t heard such a talented vocalist since 580000 BC. VEA really does ri-bella music“.

[TO BE TRANSLATED]
Questo è un testo nato a metà dicembre 2021, da un’idea di novembre. E’ la sintesi di anni di soggiorni temporanei in case di campagna poco usate, e quindi tendenzialmente fredde d’inverno. Mentre i prezzi dell’energia salgono alle stelle e l’umano ingegno inizia a valutare modi (tendenzialmente già usati in passato) per approvvigionarsi di fonti di energia, invitiamo a riflettere sulla possibilità di adottare uno stile di vita meno energivoro, ad esempio abbassando il riscaldamento e mettendosi un maglione, o strati a sufficienza, in più. Come ai tempi dei nonni (miei). Nella foto di testa, il “set” da cui viene scritto questo articolo alle 8.26 del 21-2-22, con 15° e il 61% di umidità (a volte si arriva anche a 18° durante l’inverno). In parallelo, il testo si ispira alle gesta di alcuni investitori che cercano nei lidi italioti un “buen retiro”, dando priorità alle indicazioni disponibili nel metaverso, e magari ignorando (più o meno consapevolmente) quelle che possono arrivare, come servizio naturalmente, dal metàverso (cfr. video di qualche giorno fa)
Con la JBCM, in collaborazione con Luca Guerrieri dei Double Vision Studios abbiamo già registrato una sorta di “demo take” del pezzo, però ci vorrà ancora un po’ per avere la versione buona. Nel frattempo, dato si fa attività conceTTistica e non produzione musicale tradizionale, abbiamo voluto fare quello che in termini informatici è il rilascio di una parte del “codice sorgente” del pezzo. La cosa ci è sembrata opportuna considerato il clima di incertezza e incupimento legato alla gestione dei superbonus di varia natura, e l’incalzare di un Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza il cui svolgimento ricorda un incrocio fra Momenti di Gloria, Avatar e “La Capa Gira” (cfr. anche la serie di articoli di pibinko sul PNRR).
Ecco quindi a voi il “groove” e il testo, tradotto in inglese per gli amici non-italoleggenti. Il perché venga invocato a più riprese il cognome dell’esploratore inglese, eroe nazionale nel Regno Unito, verrà spiegato in occasione della prossima performance dal vivo della Jug Band Colline Metallifere (possiamo giusto anticipare che abbiamo studiato bene la storia di questo personaggio, grazie al materiale della Cosoteca della rete pibinko.org – vedi link).

| Ho comprato un podere giù in campagna | I bought a farm, down in the country |
| Scelto bene da un bel sito interne-e-t | Well chosen from a cool web site |
| Mi dicevo – lì sarà una gran cuccagna | I said: “This will be great fun” |
| Non pensavo che facesse così fredd(o) | I didn’t think it would be so cold |
| Qui d’estate ci venivo da vent’anni | Here I used to come since I was twenty |
| Spesso in barca a fare il giro delle sagre | Often on my boat, visiting all the village fairs |
| Con filippo, ada nino pia e a volte Gianni | With Filippo, Ada, Nio, Pia and -at times- Gianni |
| Non vedevo nel futuro vacche magre | I did not foresee any bad times |
| Chorus 1 | |
| Sha-a-a-ckleton (coro: non ce l’aveva) | Sha-a-a-ckleton (bv: did not have) |
| Sha-a-a-ckleton (coro: la stufa accesa) | Sha-a-a-ckleton (bv: a flaming stove) |
| Sha-a-a-ckleton (coro: ma raccontava) | Sha-a-a-ckleton (bv: but he used to tell) |
| Sha-a-a-ckleton (coro: le barzellette) | Sha-a-a-ckleton (bv: a lot of jokes) |
| E’ arrivato il momento dei cantieri | So the moment of the construction came |
| cominciare una ristrutturazione | To start a renovation |
| installare dei radiatori seri | To install some serious radiators |
| riscaldare un po’ la situazione | And warm up the situation |
| Quello che non avevo calcolato | What I had not considered |
| quando da berlino avevo comprato | When I bought from Berlin |
| sto podere tanto bello da guardare | This farm, so nice to look at |
| è che l’ecobonus non può funzionare | Is that the “eco-bonus” cannot work |
Chorus 2 | |
| Sha-a-a-ckleton (coro: lui stava al fresco) | Sha-a-a-ckleton (bv: he used to stay in chilly spots) |

| Sha-a-a-ckleton (coro: scelte a casaccio) | Sha-a-a-ckleton (bv: random choices) |
| Lo sapete com’è andata a finire | Do you know how the story went |
| Ve lo dico, vi vorrete divertire | Let me tell you, you will be amused |
| L’ecobonus me lo sono già scordato | I already forgot about my “eco-bonus” |
| colpa di un professionista sfortunato | Blame it on an unlucky consultant |
| In campagna il podere l’ho venduto | In the country, I sold my farm |
| era bello, ma mi aveva un po’ fottuto | It was nice, but it slightly screwed me up |
| Ora sto in un bilocale nel paese | Now I live in a two-room flat in the village |
| il tramonto è uguale e ho meno spese | The sunset is the same, and I have a lot less expenses |

This was broadcast from the community cente in Piloni (Southern Tuscany), between 12.15PM and 12.40PM on Feb. 19, 2022. For the first time, we had the honour of having Claudio “Bob” Spinosi as a co-host. Bob was in 2007 one of the pillars of the “Palla a 21 from Tuscany to Chicago Mission”, and since then he is our main guide and advisor on many aspects of the Southern Tuscan territory (in addition to being a musician and a music expert).
We decided to try this location in order to test the level of service of the mobile network in one of the hamlests which is running up in Tuscany for a large grant for “cultural, social, and economic regeneration of hamlet at risk of being abandoned, with less than 300 housing units” (this is something we have been doing anyway for the last fifteen years with the pibinko.org network. The next episode will be on Feb 26. We will be talking about music with VEA, and the show will be hosted from Florence. The actual location in Florence is to be defined..in any case not far from the city centre.

After the opening on Feb. 12, with Elena Maggi from the University of Pisa, who told us a bit about light pollution studies in coastal areas (you can find the recording here), the next meetup will be with Marco Marongiu. Marco is a Sardinian computer scientist currently based in Oslo, Norway. Marco will tell us about free/open information technology, starting from his experiences in the Nineties with the foundation of the Linux User Group in Cagliari.
In the two following episoded we will be dealing with music, with VEA, and finally with culture (and surprise guests).
Here is our trailer for the upcoming Jugcast dalle Colline Metallifere:
All things must end. Nice games do not last too long (an Italian saying). “You know how it is” etc…NOT.
In the night between February 13 and 14 2022 Wolfgang’s Ape Piaggio was stolen. Wolfgang is our one-string bass player, our printer, our archery trainer, our technical director for fruit pruning, our researcher in the field of ancient wheat, and our German-speaking mahatma (see link).
Wolfgang, with his Ape, is a known character in a fair slice of the metalliferous hills of the Grosseto area, since the Ape is his primary vehicle between Tatti, Ribolla, Roccatederighi, and Sassofortino. At times you might find him in Gabellino. The event was reported at the Carabinieri in Ribolla, close to Tatti. At the time of writing (3.22PM) an update is that the back section of the Ape was found in via Massetana (the main street crossing Ribolla).
At this point, things will be taken care of.
As far as we are concerned as the Jug Band Colline Metallifere collective…Wolfgang’s Ape is part of our logo. It has been the subject of one of our songs, and we have dedicated lots of energy to promote the sale of his Wolfgang’s hand-made prints. So the Ape as an object might have vanished, been torn to pieces, or been dumped the nearby Bruna river…but the symbol remains, even if during this day it is looking a bit hazy. We will be glad if Wolfgang’s Ape can be found.

This video comes from a double interpretation of the word “metaverso” in Italian. Depending on how it is pronounced, it can be recorded as “metà verso” (I am pouring half of something)… for more information and booking: micalosapevo@pibinko.org or whatsapp +393317539228
Abbiniamo a questo simpatico siparietto una canzoncina che girava a Gent, Belgio, nel 1993, invitandovi anche a seguire il primo jugast della JBCM, andato in onda sabato scorso, se non lo avete ancora fatto (vedi link)
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
I got a feeling right
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
This ain’t going right
Can’t see the wood for the trees
Can’t feel the wind for the breeze
Militant screaming on me leaning
To the left, to the right
In the middle lose the meaning
So many dons say they’re wise
So many bloods telling lies
Can’t see the wood for the trees
Can’t feel the wind for the breeze
Reaching for the right vibe
Learn about the vibe from the scribe
And then running firm with the tribe
The harder they come the harder they fall
The vibe myust conquer overall
Reachin’ to make sense of the time
Reasoning up the thoughts in rhyme
Can’t see the world for the trees
Can’t feel the wind for the breeze
Hey now
Reaching for the right vibe
If I had the chance to make one decision
I would let each man walk the earth
Under equal condition
If I had the chance to make one decision
I would try to floy through the isms and the schisms

This was broadcast from the Associazione Filarmonica Popolare di Torniella music hall in Southern Tuscany from 12.15PM to 12.32PM CET on February 12, 2022. We spoke about monitoring of light pollution and its impacts in coastal areas (in the context of the pibinko.org network we work on light pollution since 2008 with the BuioMetria Partecipativa project)
The next Jugcast will be on February 19. The topic will be open innovation and our guest will be Marco “Bronto” Marongiu (please see this article to review the presentation of the first jugcast series).
Most of the interview is in Italian (but you can practice your active listening skills), and the last five minutes or so are in English.

The Jug Band Colline Metallifere (JBCM), the international and inter-generational collective based in Southern Tuscany and with collaborations in four continents, proposing since 2018 conce[r|p]ts is proud to announce a new mini web series of four episodes.
Starting from February 12, for four Saturday, we will be proposing short interviews to some folks that we have met and who proved to have a good resonance with the four sectors in which we operate: culture, environment, open innovation, and music. To be honest, this breakdown is kind of artificial, since we believe that the boundaries between these “domaines” are not so strict. Anyway, what we have in store for you:
Each “jugcast” will be streamed live at 12.15 CET, with a duration of around 15 minutes. That’s roughly the time you would need to sip a coffee and read your newspaper, or to have your preferred drink.
The jugcasts will be mostly (not only) in Italian, so this will be an excellent opportunity to improve your skills if you are learning the language spoken in what is considered by many the most beautiful country in the world (with the show streamed physically from what is considered by many the most beautiful region in the most beautiful country in the world….now would you miss that even if you can just say “molto bello“?)
Following the pibinko.org network tradition of highliting non-dangerous relationships and curious correlations (without ships): you will hear it from a southern Tuscan (maremman) girl now living in Pisa, from a Sardinian in Norway, from an artist with origins in Lucania (Southern Italy), in Torino, and two surprise guests from two surprise locations. Accounting for these “space warps” our guests will be invited to communicate following different tones during the show…but we don’t want to give too many spoilers.
The Jugcasts will be streamed live via the pibinko.org Zoom “channel” (up to 100 participants). They will also be recorded and later made available from the JBCM web site.
To be on the live show, you will need to pre-register following the instructions provided online. The host will be physically located from wherever he feels. This will likely be from one of the spots visited by the JBCM members during the tours made since December (i.e. Milano and Florence, in addition to the south-western quadrant of Tuscany).
At the end of the first jugcast series, a certificate of attendance can be provided, if needed.
The Jugcasts dalle Colline Metallifere are produced by the Jug Band Colline Metallifere (Andrea Giacomelli, Dario Canal, Simone Sandrucci e Wolfgang Scheibe/Tattistampa) in collaboration with whoever will collaborate.

Very well.
Please just scan the News section of our site between November 2021 and January 2022 to get a feel for it.
In November 2021 we also initially created a specific tag for this tour, but we realize now that following it, you would not fully appreciate the story. In any case, if you really need for specific purposes to “isolate” the Dec. 2021 Geotour material from the rest, please click here: http://www.pibinko.org/jugbandcollinemetallifere/tag/methillsmilan2021/
If you have one hour of time, we strongly encourage you to read (in English) or listen to (in Italian) this performance+interview, which was the highlight of the tour: http://www.pibinko.org/jugbandcollinemetallifere/the-rosetta-stone-style-transcript-of-the-live-motel-show-dec-17-2021/
