[302] e o bruxo do luxo baixado o capucho chorando num nicho capacho do lixo

Another good day! My days off definitely feel so much fuller and more satisfying when I pack them full of a variety of different things and just keep moving, instead of picking a thing and sticking with it. It's a lot more work, constantly jumping around, but I think it's ultimately a lot better for me than just losing hours and hours at a stretch, even if it's to something I love. As it is, I still watched a couple of movies and some TV and some wrestling and listened to some music and some podcasts and read a bit and spent some time with my mom and did some yoga and went for a run and took a bath and finally changed my bedsheets for the first time in almost two months and started some laundry and did the dishes and took out the trash and then I was going to go to bed, but then I decided to put on this week's Best of TNA show instead (since Impact is still spinning its wheels ahead of the rebrand on my birthday) so I'll finally get to see that damn AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels/Samoa Joe three-way that I've heard so much about and that's a pretty good day I think! A pretty good Thurs day!

Getting colder out, but the days are getting longer, which feels like a fairer trade than we usually get. Up to seven full hours of daylight! Woo!

The managers at work put out a little video shouting out all of the people who hit tenure milestones last year, of which I was one, so that's cute, even if they spelled my name wrong as usual. The fact that my manager said something far more specific about me than he did my counterpart on the other shift makes up for it somewhat.



Wikipedia Sez: Os Mutantes (Brazilian Portuguese: [uz muˈtɐ̃tʃis], "the mutants") is the debut album by the Brazilian tropicalia band Os Mutantes. It was originally released in 1968 by Polydor and blends traditional Brazilian music styles with American and British psychedelia. The album includes a cover of The Mamas & The Papas' "Once Was a Time I Thought", translated into "Tempo no Tempo", and a cover of "Le premier bonheur du jour", previously recorded by Françoise Hardy. It was reissued in 1999 on Omplatten Records and again in 2006 by Omplatten's (and Polydor's) parent company, Universal Records.

Genre: Latin, International, Pop/Rock

Styles: Brazilian Pop, MPB, Obscuro, Tropicalia, Brazilian Traditions

Release Date: June 1968

Prior Familiarity: None whatsoever.

What I Did While Listening: Started making noodles, but then I loved the first track so much I stopped it and saved the rest of the album for my run later.

Verdict: Absolutely loved this. A completely indescribable mashup of styles and bonkers instrumentations. All over the map in some real fun ways. Wild! Just wild! Some of the most actively unpleasant noises ended up genuinely living in my head in brilliant ways, and the worst thing I can say about it is that some of the fake-out fade-out endings were a bit much.

Favourite Song: Le premier bonheur du jour, in all its beautiful acapella weirdness. And was that a recorder solo???

Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

4AM UPDATE: okay yes that three-way was as amazing as its reputation, total nonstop action indeed, goddamn boys
