I know you said you're already listening to stuff from South America so this might be old news, but if it's from Brazil in the 70's it's tbh worth listening to!! Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Jorge Ben, the list is super super long and it's all GREAT! A record store by me had a big sale recently and I bought an OG copy of this only knowing and loving a couple of his other albums (Clube Da Esquina is an all timer) but man this thing blew my dang mind. Can't recommend it enough, big time Beatles/Beach Boys/Floyd worship and it's just so so incredible. Also Turkish psych rips!! And Krautrock obviously!! And French stuff from the late 60s/70s!! Africa has soooo much amazing stuff too!!!

There's a really cool intersection, a moment in time, in the early 2000's where mainstream Brazilian artists were producing songs with trip hop and drum & bass beats. I think it really hits the spot. It's been blissin my days out recently. Specifically, the Fernando Porto self titled album that came out in 2002! It has some bossa nova classics re-interpreted y2k style plus some originals. Other recs include Kaleidoscopio, DJ Patife and Fernada Abreu (1st & 2nd LP).

Whole album is very beautiful Brazilian rock! I've been learning Portuguese for a couple semesters so I've been trrying to listen to more Portuguese music (admittedly, only Brazilian music, I hate to be picky but European Portuguese does not at all match the beauty of BP). Found this album a while ago and it's one of my alltime favourites, and this is my favourite song on it!

Album closers can really go one of two ways. You've got your big and fast (I'm thinking specifically of The Moon & Antarctica and Daydream Nation) or your slow and sad, like this. The Mats also operate in those two modes. After the debauchery of the rest of the album a moment of true heartbreak. "Everybody wants to be someone here" mama mia, Paul! It just don't get better. (I was also thinking of picking I Am the Resurrection by the Stone Roses but someone else did it, or Murder Most Foul by Bob but I was like ugh I don't wanna get into that song rn).

Almost done watching it for the first time and I truly believe this show should be considered up there with the best of the best. So pure and wholesome in a way that could only be done pre-9/11 tbh. Not a drop of irony. Just beautiful slice of life stories with a lil magical realist twist packed with references to philosophy and film but never in a way that feels out of place. Like if no one ever died in Twin Peaks. Also executive produced by David Chase! It has it all! Tears are frequently shed from the pure beauty! Wow!
