He loves alternative and indie rock, yet he is nostalgic of old school 80s grunge. His favourite band is hands down Foo Fighters, together with Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Editors and Kasabian (and many more) playing a significant role in his life as a source of inspiration for his avocational career as a writer.

Ciao internauta, come stai? Io mi chiamo Giuseppe Naso, Spike per gli amici ai quali non concedo prestiti, se davvero stai leggendo la mia biografia grazie. Grazie perché il tuo non aver nulla di meglio da fare (che coincide con il tuo legger questa bio) sta indirettamente ingigantendo il mio ego.
Potrei raccontare moltissimo di me ma non trovo giusto tediarti con un curriculum palesemente falso o “filosofeggiando” con fare bohémien. Sappi solo che la carbonara con la pancetta è da eretici, le mamme rompono le palle ma sulle ragazze ci vedono lungo e il bassista é segretamente quello che scopa di più nelle band. Sei davvero arrivato fino a qui? Allora devo darti due notizie: la prima è brutta e dice che da me non avrai mai un centesimo ma la seconda è cattiva e ti autorizza a chiamarmi Spike, perché da adesso siamo amici!
…Ancora qui? Insomma vuoi andare a leggere le recensioni di Sick And Sound…sentirmi osservato mi agita, avanti…sciò, fuori dalla mia biografia!!!
