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

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

a few $1 finds from a yard sale just down the block from me a few weeks back

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!!!
