The Mauro Tapes 1. Crickets, not at the Crossroads (Willin’ Cover)

Jack O’Malley, featuring Mauro Tirannosauro on ultrasonic backing vocals, in a back-facing cover of Willin’ by Little Feat, looking South.

Making sense of the reference to crickets implies either a deep knowledge of places around Tatti, Southern Tuscany, where this video was shot, o sending a mail to micalosapevo@pibinko.org to inquire.

I been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
I’m drunk and dirty, don’t you know
And I’m still… willin’

And I was out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn’t get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’… to be movin’

Well, I’ve been kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in
But I’m still on my feet
And I’m still… willin’

I smuggled some smokes
And folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun
Every time I go to Mexico
And I’m still…

And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn’t get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’… to be movin’

Save the date: May 16, 2020, for the Participatory Lithology “Làiv” Show

After wading through “phase 1” of the COVID-19 crisis in Italy with the launch of Participatory Lithology, we are glad to invite you for an online event we will be hosting on Saturday, May 16. There will a geoparty with the artists which have been animating in different ways our weeks since March 21, in their role as entertainers for our little resilience exercise started from Tatti, Southern Tuscany, and gradually engaging people from seven Italian regions.

  • Before the show, there will be a brief introduction to present the project: who are we? why did we start such a story in such a peculiar moment? what would we like to see happening in the near future? Is Elvis alive?
  • There will also be some updates on other historical initiatives by the pibinko.org network
  • The detailed schedule of the event, with times, guests, (nice) surprises, and more, will be provided by Monday, May 11.
  • To start getting into the groove, you may review the news section of the Jug Band C.M. and of the pibinko.org network, at least going back to March 14
  • If you are interested to sponsor this event: please visit this page.
  • The language of the event is TBD. It will reasonably be partly in Italian, but some form of English version will be considered, and we are evaluating also other languages in relation to our geographies of interest.

This event is organized by the Jug Band Colline Metallifere , in collaboration with various components of the pibinko.org, with Mauro Tirannosauro as Art Director.

Mauro Tirannosauro before and after the “Maremma rèlli

To watch a total-adrenaline video of the special “Maremma rèlli” between Tatti and Roccatederighi, that led Mauro T. to go head over fee, you can check out this article. Vin Diesel could not stand all of it, and left the theatre as he was too impressed. Jason Statham, with all his “transporter” experience, did a bit better, but still he closed his eyes on some of the turns.

A special “rèlli” trial in Southern Tuscany: Tatti-Roccatederighi, May 3, 2020

With an ambient audio from The Minutemen (and their Double Nickel on a Dime audio), this is just before phase “bue”, and various two- and four-legged characters along the way.

  • For geomusical information on Roccatederighi, please also see this video.
  • If you do not live in a rural area, we recommend also reading the “Bitter Maremma?” article from November 2016.
  • “rèlli” is the way an Italian would spell the world “rally” as pronounced by a lot of Italians (which is different than mother-tongue English speakers pronounce it). Explaining why we like using mis-spelled English words is out of the scope of this post, but we might come back later on this topic.

#IoCestoaCasa

TBT TBM. Yet another variation on the #iorestoacasa tag, turning “resto” (I stay) in “cesto” (basket).

Mauro Tirannosauro sta cercando di convergere nella sua interpretazione delle regole per la fase bue. Ha aperto una mailing list che si chiama celafarmo@siamonoi.gro. Però, in quanto sauro di origini newyorkesi, non capisce bene l’italiano. Inizialmente aveva inteso #IorestoaCosa, vicino all’Argentario, in Toscana. Poi ha rettificato in #IorestoaBosa, scendendo da Macomer, in Sardegna. Ha infine chiarito che si trattava di casa, e quindi è tornato a casa, a Tatti (GR), e ha cercato un cesto in cui stare. Sotto una foto di repertorio.

Sullo sfondo, parte dei set usati per i video in cui Mauro T. canta: I have some rocks feat. Simone Sandrucci per la Litologia Partecipativa e Vedere la Via Lattea di giorno feat Liliana Cafiero per la buiometria partecipativa.

Mauro T. attends his first European citizen science teleconference

Mauro Tirannosauro, in his capacity as member of the Jug Band Colline Metallifere, attended together with Andrea Giacomelli a teleconference of the “Empowerment, Inclusiveness, and Equity” working group of the European Citizen Science Association.

Mauro gave a productive input to the teleconference, and invited everybody to the Participatory Lithology prototype closing event, planned for mid-May.

Sciamannati

TBT – starts from a difficult-to-translate pun morphing an adjective in Naples dialect meaning “untidy, shabby, disgraced” and “sciamano” (shaman).

Dice Mauro Tirannosauro che Fèiscbu ti fa le pubblicità che ti spia dove clicchi e poi come a tressette risponde al seme. Anche Gubol, ma Feisvu di più, o forse di meno, o forse sono la stessa cosa.

Ora, capisco la pubblicità del collagene tridimensionale, perché col tempo che ci fanno passare fermi in questo periodo saranno da prevedere problemi articolari nella fase bue.

Ma…gradirei ipotesi sul come mi venga proposto un video corso di Sciamanesimo con la S maiuscola…sulla base di quali analisi della mia presenza online. Se avete qualche idea, scrivete a micalosapevo@pibinko.org. Nel frattempo, Luca Guerrieri ci intrattiene con i mix InDaHouse.
