Summer is Here

Clube Da Esquina - Lo Borges / Milton Nascimento (1972)

It isn't. Not in the slightest. There were 4 hours of sunshine today and I got all excited and cracked out the Brazilian records and switched the heating off for a bit. Short-lived, but any excuse to mention this record. Great as it's obviously very Beatles-influenced but full of oddball time signatures and the chord progressions always throw you a curve and miss the obvious. A few years after this record he broke massively, and the inevitable collaboration with professional World-sniffer Paul Simon occurred sometime later. You should be able to find this in OK condition for around a tenner.

Tudo Que VocĂȘ Podia Ser


I have this fantasy about dropping this next one mid-'set' sometime. Literally from a 130bpm pummelling to abrubtly stopping everything and putting this on. Maybe even standing atop the decks in a crucifixion pose and switching all the lights off as it plays. Actually, it's something only Erick Morillo is really able to pull off. No thanks. If anyone else manages it let us know.
