This Beat is Hot...

[dotinthesky]

Im in Sao Paulo, at my friend Henrique's place. We went to a bar full of rockers on Thursday night (when I arrived) and an anorexic model accused me of holding the curtains that led to the dance floor (later, she made out with Henrique in the toilets). An 18 year old Strokes fan grabbed my other friend, Bruno, on the dance floor. We drank a lot of beer and caipirinhas. She took photos of us and told us to look for them in her Fotolog (4 blind mice?) We came home at 5am.

Yesterday, we fucked around until 6pm. Then Henrique dropped me at a cafe while he went to his work (an advertisement agency) for half an hour. I drank a Moka and a Latte, and ate cheese bread and a slice of carrot cake. Then we shopped for some steaks, beer and wine, to take to our friend Garnize's home for dinner. Garnize cooked the best risotto of my life, we drank 3 bottles of wine and a lot of beer, they smoked a joint, we sat around with their girlfriends, Garnize's brother, lots of ashtrays, and lots of talks about movies, sex, Europe, and murders.

I fell asleep watching The Life of Brian. Woke up again at 6, tried hard to wake Henrique, and we finally drove home and crashed.

Now we are going to the Country Club for lunch.

Internet has been installed at the farm; when I returne, I'll be able to catch up with you: hope you are all well.

oh yeah, they have 4 great albums in the past couple of years... actually, all of their stuff is always pretty good.

yeah, once I saw the list I recognized This Is Hardcore, but I don't know much of them. I wasn't into that music when I had a source for it. isn't that always the way?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

it's true... music comes into our lives sometimes years after it was released... i'm into, right now, Echo and the Bunnymen, and I want to hear more of The Church...

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

ah yes, I read that. I don't think I've ever heard The Church. I have a bit of EATBM on my puter but not much.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

ive only heard one Church song... and I loved it. I hope the rest is good too.

Have you been to any good live shows recently?

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no. But I have an upcoming Toasters show. MONTHS ago I went to a Pietasters/Voodoo Glowskulls concert that fucking ruled. I surprised myself by throwing myself into the pit most of the night.

Can you play mp3 cds? as opposed to strictly audio? I want to make sure I can send you a good mix of stuff without doing more than your cd player can deal with.

Kevin has a Mac which has ITunes - it plays MP3s... but im not familiar with whether it would work MP3s from PC... im not very computer literate!

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

No, no, I mean if you were to play it in a cd player, like a walkman, does your walkman support mp3s. It'll work in PCs and Macs just fine. Just not necessarily if your walkman doesn't.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

oh... our stereo is very rudimentary... and we dont have walkmans.

:o/

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

Ok, well your puter will play it. But if you would rather play it on your stereo then I will make one that will work with it.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

anything that is easy for you.

:)

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

don't worry. It's all just technical crap about how much info I can fit on one disk. I'm just gonna send you stuff I know you'll be able to play.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

thanks!
