Bryan McAllister: Very Stable Genius
by Paul Naser
In case you haven't been reminded within the last five minutes, Donald Trump is the president of the United States of America.

by Libero Farnè
Per quanto mi riguarda le novità più sorprendenti le ho ascoltate a Bolzano (Warped Dreamer e il trio In Love With con i fratelli Ceccaldi) e a Saalfelden (Eve Risser e Roberto Negro).
