For @aquariumdrunkard.com, I wrote about Raul Seixas's 1974 masterpiece Gita, which is getting a repress in red vinyl this month.

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.

45 years ago today, my hometown out-partied Lou Reed. I wrote about what happened for Spin:

The Night Porto Out-Partied Lou Reed (and the Infamous 1980 Concert That Never Happened)
Saint John's Eve is a big deal in my hometown of Porto, in Portugal. The night of June 23rd into the 24th marks the peak of midsummer festivities and coincides

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.

Replace "novel" with "book" and "reading comics" with "watching telenovelas" and that's me.
Part of me wants to write another novel. Part of me wants to never write again. Part of me wants to spend a year in bed reading comics and eating biscuits.

Sounds like a good opportunity to buy Tropicália 😌 www.bloomsbury.com/uk/tropic%C3...

"Global Histories of the Portuguese Revolution," @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, eds. Luís Trindade, Rita Lucas Narra, Ricardo Noronha, @pramospinto.bsky.social. An awesome book! Have a chapter in there that writes the "retornados" aka decolonization, Cold War, and refugeeness back into the picture.
