Soooo...J. Ax released a single with another band from Milano called "The Styles." The Styles sound awesome, but unfortunately all their songs are in English. This was rather confusing for me, since their website was sprinkled with both languages and I didn't know if this was because the Internet was messing with my mind or what.
Anyway, I like the song.
EDIT: This video is not the best quality. I had a better one, but by the time I get them up and translated, youtube has already deleted the video. Argh! I need to find another way to put songs on here without relying on youtube (it is possible) but I'm too lazy when it comes to technology.

cavalli c'ha i milioni, io niente da investire
I'm having problems with this one. First, I'm not too sure if "c'ha" is "ci ha" or something else (Italian pronouns still trip me up) and "cavalli" could mean "horses," "knights," or "crotches (as in pant crotches)." And is the "ha" referring to the "stilista" in the previous line or what? Also, "investire?" "I have nothing to" ...to what? I have nothing to invest? I have nothing to attack? I have nothing to run into?
cavalli fa i calzoni, il mio cavallo ha più stile
