Now what's this PUNCTUATION BUSINESS? Here is a preemptive TL/DR for
those who need a quick shot-Wear black and white, and perhaps some
PUNCTUATION MARKS ABOUT YOUR PERSON. Perhaps some exclamations,
quotations, and full stops-period.
Now-for the rest of you on the toilet...here's the pitch:
"Oh TREETOPS, what the HELL are you doing now?"
"PUNCTUATION." we state.
"PUNCTUATION?" you query
"PUNCTUATION!" we exclaim!
"..." you pause
"Exactly" TREETOPS AFFIRMS.
Wear something that punctuates. Are you an ampersand, you swiftly
curving sexy and then some beast? Are you hanging in the air, an
apostrophe pluralizing with proliferation? Do you quote in coy,
strange style? Perhaps you present nothing but a quandary to all
situations around you. OR DO YOU JUST KINDA MAKE EVERYTHING SUPER
EFFING LOUD?!?!?!?!
Ellipsis, stand up. Comma comma comma show us your best oxfords. Are
you truly parenthetical on the inside?
Hyphenated or Non-Hyphenated? My, my! Where the underscores at?
Underline? Oh god, the HASHTAGS are here! And they brought the
asterisks! Omit! Omit!
So, uh...yeah. Puntuation! no no PUNCTUATION!
pinterest board anyone?

Another lovely writeup of BALDELLI, this time by Andrew Leahy:
“A founding father of the Cosmic Disco sound, Italian DJ DANIELE
BALDELLI ROSE TO PROMINENCE WITH HIS MIXTURE OF EUROPEAN ELECTRONICA,
synth pop (often played at slower speeds), equalizer effects, and
ethnic folk music. BALDELLI'S USE OF AFRICAN AND BRAZILIAN MATERIAL
HELPED DISTINGUISH HIS STYLE FROM ITALO DISCO, which permeated the
clubs of Northern Italy during the 1970s. Taking up residence at the
Cosmic, a venue by Lake Garda, he introduced club goers to a worldly,
hypnotic sound during the late '70s and early '80s. Although the
Cosmic Disco movement slowed down as the '80s progressed, BALDELLI'S
REPUTATION ALLOWED HIM TO EXTEND HIS CAREER INTO THE FOLLOWING
DECADES.
Baldelli was born in 1952 in the tourist town of Cattolica, where he
made his DJ debut at the age of 17. After logging several years at the
Tabu Club, he was recruited to take his record-spinning expertise to
Baia, which in turn led to a multi-year residency at Cosmic. The
infamous club opened in April 1979 and was instrumental in developing
Baldelli's signature sound, which took influence from the club's drug
culture (namely heroin, which caused its users to dance slowly) and
the waning popularity of traditional dance music. Drug problems forced
many clubs to close during the 1980s, but Baldelli's influence
persevered into the 21st century, aided in part by such compilations
as Cosmic Sound and Baia Degli Angeli 1977-1978.”
