Tom Zé - Defect 2: Curiosidade
Since January 1, The Orchard has added over 60,000 UPCs to its digital distribution catalog. These ten grabbed our crate-diggin' hearts faster than we could say "Nyan Cat Triple Bypass." The New Mastersounds: Breaks From the Border [Tallest Man] Seventh album of warm retro-leaning funk and soul-jazz from these long-grooving Brits, this is The ...
Tom Zé: Explaining Things So I Can Confuse You (by luakabopper ) In celebration of the iconoclastic master of song, politics, satire and human relations, Luaka Bop is releasing a vinyl-only box set, Studies of Tom Zé: Explaining Things So I Can Confuse You- which pulls together for the first time a trilogy of "studies" on Brazilian musical styles—Massive Hits, Estudando o Pagode, and Estudando a Bossa.

- by Sabato V. of Sabatobox.com : Some people have ventured to call me lazy. Natasha once responded to such an accusation by saying "I'm not lazy, I'm Brazilian." As a Brazilian, I understand the strategy of this response; I use it to defend my general friskiness. Friskiness, after all, is a biological necessity. These accusations of laziness, however, must be intellectualized. Instead of deconstructing "laziness", I want to use it as a launching pad for something completely different. The "I'm Brazilian" response works because [...]

Westerners tend to group Tamikrest into the "desert rock" movement, a vague and cinematically inclined term for music that would sound appropriate set under images of the Saharan desert, complete with tired camels and heat lines. The band hails from Mali, where about two-thirds of land is desert, so the grouping is at least geographically [...]

Beirut - "O Leaozinho" (Caetano Veloso cover) by znaki.fm Beirut, the music project headed by Zach Condon, is going on tour. Good news. He's going on tour with Arcade Fire, the National, and Twin Sister. Better news. He's also contributed a track to the Red Hot Organization's benefit album, Red Hot + Rio 2 : a cover of Caetano Veloso's classic Tropicalia ballad, "O Leãozinho." David Byrne was the one who brought this sweet, haunting love song to the American [...]

Ok, this is really the last of our 2010 reviews. Anchoring this column is Keith , who's listened to more reissues this year than Brian and me combined, putting us to great shame. Enjoy the list, and have an awesome year ahead! Antena – Camino del Sol (Numero) I suppose we could possibly populate this list with plenty of the other fascinating releases from the Numero label, and French trio Antena's 1982 debut album is one of our favorite things. The fleet and exquisite [...]

Filed under: The Hit List , Around the World A project 14 years in the making, an artist who gathered force at home for two decades before finally getting international exposure, eccentric sounds that sat since the '70s and were ripe for rediscovery and two icons whose visionary prowess is only enhanced by experience - these were among the most-arresting 2010 world music releases. Not that there weren't a lot of noteworthy new talents arriving this year. And anyway, in a realm where [...]
Due to the holidays (and subsequent lack of new mp3s), we skipped last week's mixtape. But we return the first Friday of December with a bang, offering you a rather plentiful selection of new singles and remixes, along with covers provided by partner site Cover Me. So please enjoy, especially since it's officially December and there's no real reason to go outside aside from buying Christmas gifts, and since you can now do that here , there's really no good reason to go outside. So listen: NEW Singles: "Swim [...]

Tom Ze - Tô Please celebrate with reserve. This means stock up on beer tonight. Here're some ideas from the originators . (On a side note, I can never remember the sources for my images, but if you can give credit for this epic piece of art then please do. Prolly found via Reddit)

Dzisiejszy bezobrazowy klip dnia na: pogodę pod psem, wypełnienie ciszy wyborczej, jako dodatek do przewodnika po Guinchu i zapowiedź lizbońskiej playlisty miejskiej, w której również będzie tropikalnie . Odsłuchy Strawberry Fields Forever jako jeden z kamieni węgielnych całego ruchu, eksperymentalne odjazdy i gry słowne "odkrytego" przez Davida Byrne'a Toma Zé, harmonie i kompozycyjna lekkość Os Mutantes, przebojowość Jorge Bena, seksowne i zwiewne wykony Gal Costy - wszystko to wspaniałe Beatlesowskie ślady tropikalizmu, ale jednym z najbardziej ruszających momentów jest chyba odśpiewany przez Caetano Veloso fragment Revolverowskiego For No One . Jako intro [...]
Os Mutantes are one of few artists that are truly inter-generational. Even apart from their long-standing tenure, the influential Brazilian psychedelic-rockers play music that is received amiably by audiences of all ages and backgrounds. When I saw them live this past Saturday at Webster Hall, the somewhat obnoxious crowd there for opener Ariel Pink began [...]

It's a bit of a grab bag for new releases this week, but I can't say I'm surprised that Drake singled out one of Olympia, WA's favorite daughters for a featured review. -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 10.05.10 September was a great month for releases, but the back-to-school rush slows down now, eventually turning into a trickle by mid-November.
