The brilliant UK-based music obsessives at Noncollective are back with a new mix, "From Brazil With Love." I love Noncollective and I love everything related to Brazil and Portuguese, so this is my favorite thing of the week so far.
This article is still well worth a read, despite the fact that Kanyegate (and all of its attendant Internet memes and other jokes) is officially a dead-and-beaten horse:
And also, this:
"Keeping in touch with the things that help us feel alive – music, books, movies, even the theatre, if, mysteriously, you are that way inclined – becomes a battle, and one that many of us lose, as we get older; I don't think enough of our cultural pundits, people who write about that stuff for a living, fully understand this. It's one thing to have an opinion on Little Boots remixes if you earn your living hanging about in cyberspace; quite another if you're a full-time teacher with three kids."
I would read a Nick Hornby essay on how he selects jelly at the supermarket.
