It was the first time I established a goal to listen to at least one full album a day, and be very attentive to it. I think I would like to do this "a week of a specific genre" again in the future.
And let's end with the icon of the icons, Elza Soares.
She really needs no introduction, and if you don't know her, start studying!
It was hard to choose an album but I had to go with Elza pede Passagem, I love the diverse musical influences she brings to the album, it has that flavor that only 70's Brazillian music has.
Highlights: Saltei da Banda and Rio Carnaval dos Carnavais

This one is a recent discovery for me, a happy surprise full of classical samba songs with a beautiful and strong interpretation.
Highlights: Madalena and Seleção da Mangueira

The first lp by Geovana incorporates traditional instruments, chorus singing and even speaking between a few of the song giving it a classic "Roda de samba" feeling for the album. Easy to image yourself drinking a "cold one" at night with everyone.
Highlights: Maitá

you people seem cool so i try to avoid too much nerd/code/tech talk but here we go anyway. 🤓
one of the most useful skills i have acquired as a coder is the ability to steal things from the internet. there is so much stuff on the web that you ostensibly are supposed to pay for, but with a little coding know-how you can scrape the relevant data, download it to your computer, keep it forever and never pay a dime for it. Or maybe pay for it once but be able to cancel your ongoing subscription to it.
I have used this skill to steal / borrow / archive:
- workout videos from a paid yoga app
- cocktail recipes
- food recipes
- music
- library books
- instructional materials
- graphical source material for making art
Depending on what you’re doing, this can require more or less technical skill, but likely less than you expect. this is also a thing that chatgpt is very good at walking you through, if you ask it for help. it feels especially rewarding to learn a new skill in service of saving yourself money, too.
Even if the content in question is free, it’s nice to know you’ll have it for eternity even if a provider goes out of business, and it enables you to search/organize/manage the content however you like (with no ads, paywalls, etc).
it’s a useful exercise in digital literacy that demystifies a little bit of the technical world that surrounds us, and it always gives me a thrilling little frisson of “civil disobedience” or at least naughtiness.
