Mr. Baffo & Gatto on GimmeMetal Radio with Laura Lokkie!

Originally aired on the 13/02/2021

As Italy goes into a soft lockdown and so do many other European states,  I am going to review and elaborate on the reasons why locking down is a  terrible idea, bringing little-to-no benefit in limiting the spread of  Covid19 while bringing a host of terrible side effects.  I will be commenting this article by Philippe Lemoine 

https://cspicenter.org/blog/waronscience/the-case-against-lockdowns/  

which makes a nice summary of the (scientific, data-backed) reasons why lockdowns fail to deliver what they promised.

This Friday's GattoCast episode will be dedicated to the expansion of the Universe. 

What is the Hubble constant? 

How do we know the expansion is real? 

What's going to happen in the future of the Universe?  

And - most important - who's going to explain all these things to Joey de Maio?

Did you know that Nanowar Of Steel's lyrics have been the subject of scholar research?  

As crazy as it may sound, a full article has been published on the subject: https://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/doi/10.1108/9781839099489

Taken from the abstract:  "The demenziale has also attracted a slew of bands that employ this humour within the heavy metal genre, most famous of which is the Roman band Nanowar of Steel. [...] Nanowar of Steel's unique position of having songs written in seven languages, primarily English and Italian, allows us to take a deeper look at how language and humour interfaces with the local and global metal scenes."  

This GattoCast's special guest is Karl Farrugia, the article's author, and we'll chat about humour and languages, but primarly about the "why on Earth would you write a serious article about Nanowar Of Steel".

En esta entrevista (que salio' el 20 de Diciembre 2020 para el podcast de PowerMetal.cl) hablo de Nanowar Of Steel, presente, pasado y futuro con Karim Saba y David Araneda del portal PowerMetal.cl

Second  part of the series "Explaining the Universe to Joey de Maio" where I  will continue the exploration of the world of astronomy and cosmology.

This time I will talk about distances in the Universe, how to measure  them; how far away are the most remote galaxies and what can we learn by  looking at them.

Tooth Fairy is a song by Nanowar Of Steel, which appeared on the 2018 album "Stairway to Valhalla". 

It's lyrics have an obvious parodic twist that is coating a deeper layer of economic concepts and jargon, which are going to be explained in this episode.

What is the MPC? Why is the Tooth Fairy the TARP of the Human Body?

Kitograd (literally, Cocktown) is a song by Nanowar Of Steel released in 2014 on the album "A Knight at the Opera", written in Serbian language.  In this new GattoCast Live episode Gatto will take you through the hidden meanings of this song while teaching some of the grammatical foundations of the Serbian language and the meaning of the word Kurac.

AND THEN I NOTICED THAT SHE WAS A GARGOYLE" e capire come una canzone che parla di Monumentofilia possa essere usata a scopi didattici.
