  Also saw this at the theater. I read about the incident it was based on, but I never saw the film before. Apparently it has been screened only a handful of times in the US:
  
  
  
  
  

  
  a buddy of mine from Brazil just put out a reissue of the OST 7" for this film

  https://www.discogs.com/release/29899618-Remo-Usai-O-Assalto-Ao-Trem-Pagador

  
  

  The composer, Remo Usai, is a bit of a cult figure in Brazil. He didn't deliver the grooves like Waltel Branco and Osmar Milito were doing on their novela soundtracks, but he scored a ton of films.

• RIP Ahmet Ertegun

  ppadilha

  March 25
  I worked on this PBS doc about Ahmet Ertegun a long time ago:

  

  
  

  We were finishing it up right when Ahmet passed away, they held a screening about a month later and apparently before he died they had already ordered these cookies from those bakeries that do the photo on the frosting, so there was a smiling Ahmet on every cookie. It was kinda morbid, I took a bag home and never managed to eat one.
  

  
  

  Anyway, the doc has a lot of cool stories in it IIRC

  This one is pretty face-melty too:

  
  

  

  
  

  both come from this film made about them around the time they recorded Novos Baianos F.C.

  

  
  

  at the end they play a version of Alunte that goes pretty fucking hard
