Many thought that, with what happened to the Singer-songwriter and Public Image Limited's bandleader John Lydon back few years ago, with the British Punk/Rock icon losing his wife and his best friend and manager John Rambo in the space of few months, the British collective P.I.L. might have very unlikely be touring again, or even considering to write a new record.
Rather fortunately though, the proverbial resilience and emotional strength of Lydon managed to overcome those terrible personal losses, with the British artist embarking a long solo Spoken Word tour that started almost two years ago and brought Lydon throughout the whole of the UK, with more dates to follow, planned for this fall.

The Italian phrase "Conciati Per Le Feste", which literally means in English Dressed For The Holidays, in Italian has got two meanings. One, which is the exact interpretation of what an English person would assume by looking at a dictionary (Dressed For The Holidays), while the second meaning, for a native Italian, would refer to someone that is going through a rough patch.
Whoever has known the Italian singer/songwriter and pianist Vinicio Capossela artistically for a while, an artist that loves to marry Jazz with Ethnic Folklore as his signature style, knows by know and very well that Capossela enjoys a lot playing with words, as a principle, in his bodies of work, either in an ironic form or in a more profound one.
