Gilberto Gil & Caetano Veloso - Maquina de ritmo (rehearsal) [yt]

Outros (Doces) Bárbaros [imdb]

Almost 30 years after the first reunion of “Doces Bárbaros” (a gathering of four of Brazil’s major pop music stars: Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa and Maria Bethânia), the artists involved decided to get together again for some shows in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, in December 2002. The film documents the group’s live performances, rehearsals and interviews.

Caetano, dancing. Gilberto, singing. Me, as a fly on a particular wall.

Richard Leo Johnson “Glidepath” - Rodeo Bar in NYC 2006 or 2007?

I first heard about this guy when I was about 14 years old and living he was in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Being only a couple hours away and having been 10 years an unofficial disciple of Leo Kottke and his music, particularly his early stuff with that muscular attack and those clangy old 12 strings, you can imagine how interested I was. Richard Leo Johnson, was a bit of a revelation. I think I had to write(real mail) him to get his first album. Nevertheless, I forgot about him until today. His newer music appears to be very interesting. There’s theremin on his album, The Poetry of Appliance. Oh, and in his other life he’s an architectural photographer.
