ON LOSS: 2 years without my mother

"ONLY IN BRAZIL"

One of my favorite albums is Fernanda Abreu's Veneno da Lata. Finally there is a documentary that tells the crazy story that inspired the album: in 1987, shortly after the end of the dictatorship in Brazil, 22 TONS of marijuana vacuum packed in cans were dumped in Rio's coast. Months later, big part of the 15.000 cans started washing ashore Rio and Sao Paulo, bringing happiness to thousands of people that never tried that high quality product - plus, for FREE. A gift from Iemanjá! You can watch the full doku (unfortunately without subtitles) here:

YOU'RE ART NOUVEAU

You fashion words that fools lap up
And call yourself a poet
Tattooed pretense upon your skin
So everyone will know it

You, my sweet, are a fool
You, my sweet, are plain and weak
Go let the other girls
Indulge the crap that you excrete

Declare yourself an honest man
Who needs a chance to prove it
But traps were laid, the bed was made
So obvious you blew it
