Luiz Bonfá , est un guitariste mythique de la musique brésilienne et du jazz à qui l'on doit notamment le classique "Manhã de Carnaval" et moult collaborations avec Stan Getz, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto ou Caterina Valente. En 1967 Luiz sort Luiz Bonfa Plays Great Songs , alors au top de sa carrière musicale, laissant derrière lui les fameux Jazz Samba Encore! et annonçant les Sanctuary et Black Orpheus Impressions quelques années plus tard. Une carrière à l'image de son jeu de guitare, parfaite. Pas de fausse note et [...]
Comme malgré nous (personne n'aime ça être méchant, amer ou réactionnaire), nous passons notre temps à dire du mal. Ça ne m'échappe pas, même habillé en chef chocolatier qui n'a jamais fait de chocolat. Je me confectionne un sourire au visage comme un enfant à la maternelle se confectionne un noeud à ses souliers. C'est gauche mais ça tient. On dit qu'un sourire offert est tout ce qu'il faut pour en obtenir un en retour alors j'en attend, même si c'est con attendre les choses parce qu'elles ne viennent pas parce qu'on les [...]
As I write this, I am sitting in a coffee shop in downtown Guelph and feel highly culturalized. I would like to share some of this ambient culture with the rest blogging world. The group that has my ears burning on this particular day is Thievery Corporation , a Washington D.C. based DJ duo consisting of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, as well as supporting artists featured on their tracks. The Corporation takes on a wide range of musical styles from Brazilian bossa nova, reggae, jazz, Indian classical, dub and African to name but a few. The [...]

For quite a while now the floor in my room has been covered in little piles of old records I've accumulated in bulk over the last couple of years. I figured I might as well share some of the more noteworthy finds amongst seas of complete bollocks (I love that word.) It could be a bit of harmless fun or it could start violent riots... We'll see. A member of the genuine quality family is Brazilian muso Eumir Deodato who, until finding a couple of records in the stacks, I hadn't listened to very much. The [...]
Encore un peu de sable dans ses chaussures, un léger gout salé sur ses lèvres, un bronzage sur le déclin, une fraîcheur nocturne inhabituelle, c'est bien le mois de septembre... Entre mélodies nostalgiques et souvenirs exotiques: god help the girl -if you could speak- new science -guther- regina spektor -folding chair- blind blake & the royal victoria hotel calypsos -gin & coconut water- blind blake & the royal victoria hotel calypsos- never [...]
Meanwhile, Southern California is on fire / photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox On the off-chance you haven't seen it, there's a lively comments discussion brewing on yesterday's much-dugg post (hey there, dudes - stick around, will ya?). There's a lot of smart, passionate things being said, and it's worth a read - thanks to those of you who took the time to offer cogent arguments and not make snarky jokes about buying CDs if you want CD quality. But as is often the case on the Internet, the main idea I [...]
While not advancing much of the over-arching plot, a lot still happened on last night's episode of Mad Men , much of it focusing on the generational differences at Sterling Cooper - essentially the corporate white male of 1960. In the spotlight is Roger Sterling (played by John Slattery in a manner that screams for a 'best supporting actor' nod,) who represents "The Greatest Generation," and all his (and his generation's?) weaknesses are exposed in a vengeful ending. Parallel, though, to the exploration of these different generations is [...]
