The sound of Rio, especially during carnaval. Sound system culture, off kilter beats, the boom cha cha boom cha that sticks in your head all day.

There's a really cool intersection, a moment in time, in the early 2000's where mainstream Brazilian artists were producing songs with trip hop and drum & bass beats. I think it really hits the spot. It's been blissin my days out recently. Specifically, the Fernando Porto self titled album that came out in 2002! It has some bossa nova classics re-interpreted y2k style plus some originals. Other recs include Kaleidoscopio, DJ Patife and Fernada Abreu (1st & 2nd LP).

Idk, the older I get, the more likely I am to put a bad book down. In my case, even if I'm reading 20 books a year, that's still only a few hundred books left in my lifetime. If a book is bad, cut your loses right away. There's too much great literature, and too little time.
as always, moderation is key — but you can learn a lot from a bad book. Pacing, structure, character, dialogue... Just make sure you have a chaser, even if it’s something you’ve read a million times.

seriously, read Olga Tokarczuk's speech on the "tender narrator." Beautiful and brilliant https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2018/tokarczuk/lecture/
