The Pope left Monday. The city exhaled. Bad Bunny is still at the Bernabéu. Soundset opens the Conde Duque courtyard for the first time in four seasons this Friday and Saturday. June is properly here.

Vincenzo just finished Ian Leslie's John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs — a book about two people who made something extraordinary by pushing hard against each other — and is still mid-Auster.

This episode follows that logic: Bladee (Swedish cloud rap) and Current 93 (David Tibet's English neofolk, 1982) meet on a track called Fox & Birch and it works precisely because of the distance between them. CCCP say they're fine, with their usual beautiful ambiguity. Lee Scratch Perry, dead since 2021, on a track called Scratch Is Alive. Phoenix in 2000. LCD Soundsystem not going anywhere. André Toussaint closing with a bolero from 1939 that by now belongs to everyone.

Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).
