BUT WHY SURF IN PACKS?

Here's some Brazil (Brasil to natives) related stuff. Some of you crazy leather wearing nuts might think it too laid back. Loosen the hell up. The rest of you, here's the skinny. Network Awesome's collection of Tropicalia related videos is what instigated all this. It does kind of skip around a bit, so if you want the story of the Brazilian Tropicalist movement, check out Brazil - The Tropicalist Revolution at YouTube. There's also a link to a post with a bunch of Gal Costa's stuff down there. She was a singer in the movement. Good stuff. Then there's another link too the top eleven bossa nova songs, put together by someone who knows a lot more than me on the subject. I'll take his word for it. There's another link to a compilation of bossa nova in spanish. Not that it matters here. Spanish, Portuguese, I don't care. This is a good mix, all light and airy n' shit. I can't figure out how to download all of the songs, so pipe in if you can, or you can just stream it. There's another ten song assortment of Brazilian stuff, all different types, at Aquarium Drunkard.
