I saw my grower friend yesterday for lunch and he clipped me off the sprig of marihuana seen in the header image so I'd have some weed for 4/20. Good dude.
Np: Chico Science & Nação Zumbi - Afrociberdelia
I got bogged down with my listening and have put it all aside to move on. RIGHT NOW these are the albums I have on blast:
The Nação Zumbi album above
Rita Lee & Tutti Frutti - Fruto Proibito (decent chick rock. Not bad, there are some earworms. I don't know what it is; I like female singers in other genres but in rock they're always a minus for me.)
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - that famous collaboration album from the mid '50s
Chopin - Nocturnes, Scherzi, Trois nouvelles études, Fantaisie-Impromptu (Artur Rubinstein)
Chopin - Nocturnes (Maria-João Pires)
Schubert - Favourite Schubert Songs (Robert White, Graham Johnson)
Mozart - Le nozze di Figaro (Herbert von Karajan, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, et al. from like 1955. Just think, a mere decade before, both of them were literal Nazis. This production cuts the recitatives and slashes the libretto down to under 2hr; it's a lot easier to sit through than a full-length recording.)
