🍍IT’S OUT!🍍

My book on Tropicália for @3313books.bsky.social is out now on @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, available pretty much everywhere (links in bio) though I’d encourage you to support your local bookstores whenever possible.

✨Gal e Rita, esse daí é pra vocês✨

Não sabia bem como ajudar assim à distância portanto fui aos meus arquivos buscar duas covers inéditas. Estão agora no Bandcamp com preço livre, e o dinheiro angariado vai para a Cruz Vermelha Portuguesa para apoiar as populações afectadas pela Kristin:

There’s a very well-known photo taken by Mick Rock during David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust tour that I keep going back to. I’m sure you know…

Every year (or almost) I record, mix, and share a new cover on New Year's Day. This year's the Velvet Underground's What Goes On. Enjoy ✨

RIP MTV music channels. 15 years ago I had just started working at MTV Portugal, and despite the golden days being long gone by then the NY HQ always used to say we were the regional channel that had the most music programming slots. Here's one with the Lisbon team from 2013✨

Reupping this because I just finished watching the new Raul Seixas docuseries* and I feel I need more Maluco Beleza in my life.

*Sociedade Kavernista gets a brief mention as does Sérgio Sampaio's absolute bop Eu Quero É Botar Meu Bloco na Rua
Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista Apresenta Sessão das 10

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/06/12/s...

Recorded in June 1971 and released the following month, Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista can be seen as the Frank Zappa’s Freak Out! to Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis’s Sgt Pepper.

For my Aquarium Drunkard debut, a look at the great, the magnificent, the damned Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista Apresenta Sessão das 10.

Also just realized Raul Seixas would have turned 80 this month.
