  • Got sucked into a Jorge Ben rabbit hole for a bit, which happens from time to time, and stumbled onto this thread. The man's output is insane, and it's funny how I used to be all "I like his stuff up to A Banda do Zé Pretinho, then he got kinda lame…
  • Made the mistake of turning on the tv to watch the last 10 minutes of OT for Man Utd's game. Remembered why I had made it a point not to watch the Arsenal game live the previous day. THE GODS OF FOOTBALL DO NOT WANT ME TO EXPERIENCE JOY IN REAL TIME.
  • I recently learned that Howard Shore was the band leader for SNL in its early years
  • Frankensteamer sounds like something that would come out of my large intestine after eating a whole turducken
  • Yeah, the Persian v Iranian thing in the US is real. I knew a guy from Chicago who always said he was Persian, and he explained it with that exact reason - that people looked at you funny if you said you were Iranian. Also, re: Lambada. Just like …
  • I think I watched all of the animated features this year (daughter-related), I liked Wild Robot better than the others. I get why Flow won it, but to me it felt like I was watching an indie adventure quest video game from 15 years ago.
  • Jimster said: I knew it was coming and I didn't bake a cake. Dregful. @ppadilha I didn't pull you out of the Strut league, was that your call?  Sad face. I think you booted me out of the No Rags league on account of having a Rag, and m…
  • oh shit we're getting Turinged
  • alexdeeni said: Hi, I looked at african patterns recently and thought to myself that I want to listen to music that resembles those. So what I am searching for is traditional, vibrant, colourful, fast paced, extremely varied and complex music…
  • the funny thing is that I've always had an unspoken rule about never having Chelsea or Man Utd players on my team because I don't like the feeling of celebrating their success, even in avatar form. This is actually the first time I've broken that ru…
  • also noticing that as soon as I start to catch up to a certain J in the fatnasty league the rules start coming down...
  • oh man, did I get the banhammer for having a ManUtd dude in the team? I did it against my will, I swear. I also hate that I have a Chelsea player on there. Are you telling me there are rules, Donnie? Is there a line in the sand that you do not cross…
  • We're doing fine. Trying to clean up our place right now, and volunteered at the local YMCA for a bit yesterday lugging cases of water that were going up to people in Pasadena that don't have any drinking water right now.

  • We live in South Pasadena, Tuesday night got crazy and by Wednesday morning the smoke was really heavy and the evacuation zone was just a few miles north of us. I didn't want to sit around waiting to see if we'd get an evacuation order too, so we dr…

  • I'm probably around 1500 LPs right now, plus a few hundred Brazilian 7"s. At this point adding a lot more would require either adding a ton of shelves to the living room or moving to another place with an extra room. Money's been tight lately anyway…
  • Electrode said: Some Salvador finds. Debut from Ednardo. I thought his name was familiar and I just remembered that I have his and the Pessoal Do Ceará's follow up ("Meu Corpo..."). Never can go wrong with Egberto or Gal. I thought finding th…
  • My older brother convinced our dad to take us to see Akira in the theater when it came out. I was about 10 years old and it seared itself into my brain. My father slept through most of it.  The problem is that it set the standard for what I expected…
  • it looks like Jimster dips his chips in those awful English-style baked beans
  • Jimster said: ppadilha said: DjArcadian said: It's been so long since I've owned a pair of SL1200's. I guess they discontinued them. Man, Ebay says used ones are STILL selling for $500 a piece. What does everyone use now? I…
  • Electrode said: The Brasil vs. Costa Rica game which was held here in Los Angeles reminded me of the Arsenal vs Manchester friendly coming up. Worth the $100 ticket, even for seats in the nosebleeds? only if you really want to see eithe…
  • a few $1 finds from a yard sale just down the block from me a few weeks back
  • DjArcadian said: It's been so long since I've owned a pair of SL1200's. I guess they discontinued them. Man, Ebay says used ones are STILL selling for $500 a piece. What does everyone use now? I bought my 1200 for about $250 at an estate…
  • Electrode said: 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 …
  • ok but at least can we still laugh at Man Utd??
  • Just learned about this project, a one-man Sun Ra style jazz band from Sweden 
  • 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 th…
  • 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
  • Brazil has the crazy name game on lock though. My brother once met a woman there named Xisalêire - pronounced like "She's a Lady". Her parents were big Tom Jones fans.
  • Raj thinks Teh Strut is dead but clearly it will live on forever in the language models of random AI chatbots!!!
