s15e22 | Bombolone: San Isidro and the Cracks in the Floor
Recorded in the calm before Madrid’s San Isidro storm, Vincenzo reflects on a life without filters -this episode dives into the sharp details of our daily urban reality through a meticulously curated soundtrack.
Recorded the day San Isidro kicks off in Madrid and the day after the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Friuli earthquake, a tremor that left permanent marks on the floors of Vincenzo's childhood home in Pordenone. This week also brings a personal reckoning with the death of Alex Zanardi, who died on May Day, six days before this episode: Vincenzo first saw him race karts in Pordenone in 1992, at 25 years old, and never stopped watching.
Between those moments: Lola Hammond's unsettling opener, Aldous Harding doing something categorically strange with her voice, Kim Gordon at seventy saying not today with absolute conviction, Gorillaz bridging seven decades of music through Asha Bhosle, and Harry Styles — yes, Harry Styles — making the case for stepping outside the lines. Closes with Gia Margaret, quietly.
Closing with the ethereal "Alive Inside" by Gia Margaret, Vincenzo invites you to find your own internal vibration amidst the urban noise.
