Yo I downloaded this beast at home and never got to hear it yet so on the soon tip I'll check it. But already you started the mix with my man and a song I used to hear as a kid. "Enquanto seu lobo nao vem" is from a children's song meaning "while Mr. wolf is not come". And Jorge Ben is in the house, illness!!! When you get a chance go to loronix.blogspot.com for lots of rare Brazilian records from ages past. And I just put a mp3 of a mix I made, only difference is my is undownloadable. I gotta redo that, peace, mate...

hey, that's great about the veloso song. it's actually a semi-rare one, from the tropicalia: bread and circuses comp with him, gil, costa, nara leao, etc. on it. that loronix site is fantastic. another good one-- more on the tropicalia tip i guess-- is brazilian nuggets:

sometimes i just DL stuff based on album artwork or people mentioned, since i can't read the text, hahaha.

gonna give yours a whirl later tonight!

Yeah I love Brazilian Nuggets too I just dl some Alcide Neves this morning from it. Loronix seems to post more more often and a little more diversified than nuggets. Both are nice. Speaking of Nara Leao, have you ever heard her "Nara '67"?

hey,
I've listened to it many times while working.. and once going to sleep.
I like it a lot. Perfect mood for the bizarre Spring-and-not-Spring we're having.
Only one song I'm not too fond of: The Bloodbells. The voice makes me think of a very
young, possibly suave CountChocula. Oh he was such a dark dandy in his crooning years!

current 93 is the deal-breaker of the mix danschank April 30 2008, 03:17:18 UTC
i was tempted not to include that one, but i figured that if you made it through all 7 and a half minutes of that OOIOO song, you've basically climbed aboard the weirdo train.

yeah, david tibet (singer/songwriter of current 93) totally sounds like he belongs in a renaissance fair sometimes. he's a super strange dude-- a gnostic christian mystic/former crowley-ian occultist weirdo that comes from that creepy early industrial scene (he got the name "tibet" fromg genesis p. orridge, and used to play with nurse with wound). the man is an aquired taste, to be sure. it took me a while to really click with his sound, since it's so ridiculous in a certain way. but now that's kinda what i like about it. sometimes i find things that are totally embarassing admirable.

you might need to download a conversion program. i searched free ones and found this, if it helps:

also, if you have pando (sort of the yousendit of email), i could send it to you through there too. i kinda love pando:

some of the pictures on that site aren't particularly "square," actually. hahaha.

my diet isn't particularly square, ultimately. in fact, i've been trying to be slightly stricter about abandoning meat lately, so i worry that some of the old comfort foods might not be right for me? it's interesting how much people seem to be thinking about food lately though. i like that trend.

i've been told that you can be a vegetarian and still eat bacon. which is a big load off my mind.
