Hello everyone.
My name is Michele, aka "The Italian Beatnik".
I'm from Turin, Piedmont, Italy.
My favorite music genres are garage rock, garage punk, beat and psychedelic rock.
I love collecting vinyl records, listen to the turntable and playing the drums (I learned to play drums on my own at the age of 15 in 2005).
I'm a follower of the Beat Generation, I'm a Beatnik and I follow also the Mods subculture.
I like reading and my favorite reads are "On The Road", "Hydrogen Jukebox" and "Howl". My favorite poets are Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. I consider Allen Ginsberg to be my prophet, shepherd and spiritual guide.
I like drawing and watch old movies.
"The world ain't round. It's square".

"The Beat Generation is a bunch of kids on the street corner talking about the end of the world".
(Jack Kerouac)
