My good night music



the greatest of all time



Rumor has it that the Femme Fatale Tour will make a stop in South America and even Central America. This will be the first time Britney has toured South America since her musical start in 1998.

One of my favorite songs! Uma de minhas músicas preferidas!

‘Uncontacted Indians in Brazil’

[…]”It’s about respecting their rights to live their lives as they want to, letting them get on with their lives,” [Watson] said. “In 20 years, they may decide they do want to come out of the forest, but that’s for them to decide. It’s about protecting the land and letting them live as they wish to.”

The photos were taken to prove to the Peruvian government that the Brazilian tribe exists because there have been challenges controlling illegal logging near the border and the logging might be pushing Peruvian tribes into Brazil and into conflict over resources with Brazilian tribes, Watson said.



incredibly talented



Memories from Brazil. This guy was so shocked I took his picture… I was the one on crutches in the middle of carnaval!

Ponta de Areia by Milton Nascimento

I own so many versions of this Brazilian classic sung by different artists.

But this is actually my favourite version, sung by Milton Nascimento, a prominent Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist.

The song is about an old train station “Ponta de Areia” that was given up by people.


English Translation (from http://www.maguinha.com/music-11.html)

Ponta de Areia, last stop of the Bahia-Minas.

Natural road that linked Minas to the harbor, to the sea.

An order was issued to pull out the railway tracks.

Old locomotive engineer with his cap remembers the cheerful people

with welcome greetings.

Smoky Mary? (the locomotive) no longer passes by girls,

flowers, windows and backyards.

In the empty square a cry, a moan…?Forgotten houses,

Widows at the front door.

A mudslide disaster in Brazil.

Foi-se o tempo em que os problemáticos usuários de droga eram ‘revoltados’ e cidadãos de classe baixa ou média-baixa… Tube bem que ainda hoje relacionam pessoas do undeground (skatistas, rappers, grafiteiros, punks) ao uso de drogas e bebidas, mas acontece que o jogo virou.

Pra perceber essa mudança, é só ligar a tv na hora do almoço, no canal cristão ‘Rede Record’ e ouvir as notícias ditadas pelo sabe-tudo Percival e sua companheira de dedução Adriana Reid, na maioria das vezes o grande foco das notícias são garotos bem-criados de classe média-alta ou classe alta que acabam por fazer grandes crimes por pura diversão, já que necessidade não pode ser uma causa aceitável. Dentre os crimes estão: roubo, assalto a mão armada, tráfico/posse de drogas e (muitos) outros crimes relacionados ao consumo exagerado do álcool.

Ah… O álcool, coisinha inofensiva, tá aí todo dia na casa de quase todos os brasileiros. Não é não Brasil? O jeito mais fácil do sistema te comprar, te alienar e fazer você se achar legal.
Mas voltando ao assunto principal: filhinhos de papai. Sim, são os garotos bem sucedidos que roubam a cena (e outros bens pessoais)  nos dias de hoje. Sempre freqüentando baladas regadas a bebidas, quando não um baseado, ou até uma cocaína pra dar uma liga, né?  Sempre sem noção, ‘pegando geral’, e por vezes arrumando briga e humilhando outros frequentadores do local.

Enquanto pessoas de baixa renda tentam ter uma vida decente, os gordinhos com tudo na mão se acham a coisa mais linda do mundo ao posar de malandros, usando até roupas largas e bonés aba-reta pra dar ênfase à fantasia de underground.
Desfilam nos seus carros e se enxergam no topo do mundo, e é esse mimo, essa sensação de poder somados à falta de bom-senso que acende o pavio do boyzinho baderneiro: “EU POSSO TUDO”. Aí o bicho pega.
Atropelar, tirar racha, provocar acidentes, espancar, até colocar fogo em moradores de rua, pq não? Afinal, fica impune quem tem dinheiro no Brasil, não sabia dessa?
Isso sem contar os que apresentam maldade elevada, traficando drogas entre seu circulo social, roubando bebidas, dinheiro, celulares… Hoje mesmo, vi uma notícia de três garotos de classe alta que foram barrados em uma balada, e voltaram (no seu super-carro) e atiraram contra os seguranças. Cadê o bom-senso? Eu realmente tenho nojo dessa gente que se acha o dono do mundo.
E o caso dos riquinhos maconheiros? Ah… Esse chega a ser engraçado, uma boa parte dos riquinhos usuários de maconha se acham O MARLEY, fazendo trocadilhos em redes sociais, citando frases de bandas de reggae, por vezes até colocando as cores do reggae ou o símbolo da paz em seus perfis, sem nem se quer saber o significado de ambos. Dizem curtir reggae e se aproximar de Jah (?) sendo que vão totalmente contra a ideologia: vestem sempre as melhores marcas, exaltam o dinheiro acima de tudo, bebem as melhores bebidas (com energético) e não vivem sem seus carros.

Sei que existem exceções, mas sério, vocês são a escória.
E você que diz não se preocupar com isso, saiba que estes serão os futuros médicos, e advogados do país.

The Awesome List: Triceracopter



Music

*My local radio station doesn't play enough Pirate Core. [Kevin Hendrickson]

Books

*The Best Dinosaur Books for Kids. [Dinosaur Tracking]

Comics

*Top Shelf has released their publishing schedule for 2011 including June's Pirate Penguin vs. Ninja Chicken, Book 1: Troublems with Frenemies and August's Dragon Puncher, Book 2: Island. [Top Shelf]

*A great, illustrated list of jungle girl characters. [Adventure!]

*Classic jungle girl Sheena will participate in Moonstone's big crossover this May alongside Captain Action, Honey West, Kolchak, Domino Lady, and The Spider. [First Comics News]

*Marvel's jungle heroes Ka-Zar and Shanna are going to get a challenge to their supremacy in the Savage Land by the Son of Hulk. Writer Rob Williams promises "giant dinosaurs, giant robots, and giant dinosaurs fighting giant robots." [Marvel]


*Related to that, Ben Morse speculates on what it is that's keeping Ka-Zar and Shanna from becoming A-list players in the Marvel Universe. I agree that it's got a lot to do with their close ties to the Savage Land, but disagree with the premise that Ka-Zar and Shanna should be headline characters in the greater Marvel U. My feeling is that they - like Aquaman - have plenty of great stories that can be told on their home turf (or surf) without constantly trying to cross over into their publishers' larger universes. It's the felt need for guest stars and crossovers, not the characters' settings that are holding back storytellers. [The Cool Kids Table]

*Dark Horse's solicits for April include the second issue of dinosaur-riding Axe Cop's new mini-series as well as Volume 9 of Tarzan: The Jesse Marsh Years. [Comic Book Resources]

Movies

*Johnny Depp's up for Pirates of the Caribbean 5, which already has a screenwriter. [/Film]

TV

*Eddie Izzard will be playing Long John Silver and Elijah Wood will be Ben Gunn in a version of Treasure Island for Sky TV. [/Film]

*Though it's produced by Shonda Rhimes, the folks in charge of ABC's new, jungle-hospital drama want you to know that Off the Map is no Grey's Anatomy. It's created by someone else and has a different group of writers. Rhimes and Off the Map's creator Jenna Bans spin that as a good thing, but I watched the premiere Wednesday night and it could've used some of what makes Grey's so good: intriguing, likable characters.

The only person I cared about was Doc Cole, but that's because he's played by Jason George, who's always awesome. And not liking any of the characters, I didn't care about any of the situations they were in either. I'm rooting for it - I want to like it - but the premiere tried too hard to be Dramatic without first giving me a reason to invest. I hope it improves, but right now the characters are all stereotypes.

Hopefully it'll get the chance to improve. Wednesday night's ratings weren't great, but a repeat on Thursday drew almost as many viewers as the premiere when you'd expect those numbers to drop drastically. Of course, the Thursday rerun had the advantage of a Grey's lead-in.

*Steven Spielberg's time-travel/dinosaur show Terra Nova will debut May 23 on Fox [Inside TV, who also has descriptions of a trailer for the show and answers about time paradoxes from producer Brannon Braga].  /Film has some more (still dinosaurless) pictures from the show, including a few cast photos.

Miscellaneous

*William Bendix Sings and Tells Famous Pirate Stories. [Golden Age Comic Book Stories]

*Aquaman vs. Mer-Man action figure two-pack. [The Aquaman Shrine]

*Jamaica opens Ian Fleming International Airport. [The Book Bond]

Top 10 Songs of 2010

I mentioned earlier that I wasn't planning to do any Best Of posting for the year. Well, never mind. Not only will I have my list of Top 10 Comics of 2010 up on Robot 6 later, but I've been listening to my favorite music from this year all day and it's got me in the mood to share.

10. "Don't Shoot (I'm a Man") by Devo
9. "The Sound of Sunshine" by Michael Franti & Spearhead
8. "Heart to Tell" by The Love Language
7. "The Hundred in the Hands" by Pigeons
6. "Fixed" by Stars
5. "Long Hard Times to Come (From Justified)" by Gangstagrass
4. "AM/FM" by !!!
3. "Pala Tute" by Gogol Bordello
2. "F**k You" by Cee Lo Green

And easily my #1 pick for its unfailing ability to make me crank it up, sing along, and boogie whenever it's on:


V V Brown - Shark in the Water

You know, it's kind of been a really excellent year for music.

Although...

You know what modern band does a great job of replicating the mania of the "Why Can't I Be You?" video and has a much cooler band name?



I don't like the music as much as any Cure song, but they're well on their way when it comes to performance.

My Favorite Music Video: Why Can't I Be You?
