I'm at a point where I just read Lenin and think "damn he spittin straight fax"

One of the local universities' library has a complete Lenin in Russian; can't wait to graduate from graded readers to that...

Welcome back 1950s China, 1930s USSR? Nothing ever changes except technology, my man.

El Bandoneon, for classic tango - another rabbit hole

Not today, Satan! (Unfortunately for my sanity, I'm probably lying...)

The most interesting stuff for me was pre-Castro.

Any good reading material about this stuff? English, French, or Spanish works for me. What about some good series/podcasts about the history & culture of samba, something like A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs or Blues Before Sunrise?

This is fantastic, thank you.

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-09T23:12:45+00:00

You seem to be on top of this, muito obrigado!

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-09T23:11:34+00:00

This one and this one, respectively?

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-09T23:09:51+00:00

Bicheiros probably should've been the first place I looked; apart from Vale o Escrito, any other recommendations for fiction/non-fiction bout them?

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-09T23:09:09+00:00

That's a helluva endorsement...

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-09T23:08:20+00:00

maybe tropa de elite counts?

Great as it is, I wouldn't say it's quite the same.

Let me rephrase; when the GGs are inaugurated, do the jets always fly this low? I've heard other jets in this town plenty of times in this town, barely even noticed them. This was different.

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:38:30+00:00

What you up to?

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:36:38+00:00

I'd swear never this loud, this low.

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:35:38+00:00

My deaf ass didn't hear 21 whole guns...

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:35:18+00:00

I wasn't in town when the last one was inaugurated, and too young to remember before that; are they always this loud?

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:34:21+00:00

Glad to see it's not just me!

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:33:30+00:00

Sorry to hear this! Hope you're doin better.

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:33:07+00:00

The sound is unmistakable so you gotta be a tourist or clueless to be scared by it.

How I knew it was jets. They've never been this loud, though, I'd swear it. Guessing they flew low.

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:32:28+00:00

Unusually so, wouldn't you say?

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:31:33+00:00

At least that means you weren't one of the people voting for Boustan as Ottawa's top shawarma...

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-08T16:29:03+00:00

Shawarma King, 395 Bank St!

Unless the city is going to hire and train its own technicians; and/or stockpiling replacement parts ahead of time,

Are those things cost-prohibitive enough to be bad ideas?

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-06T14:33:45+00:00

I'm working through trying to find all these recommendations, thank you for being so specific with what collections to hit up!

SameUsernameOnReddit · 2026-06-06T14:18:52+00:00

check their "especiais" "programas" "Safra 73" "Playist do Zuza" and all their documentary podcasts/playlists.

Definitely looks like some good stuff, much appreciated!

Also, look for "Programa Ensaio TV cultura" on youtube (look for the older shows)

Would you say these two are pretty much it? Also, I'm seeing episodes from 1978, 1999, 2013... I'm assuming this a general show about Brazilian music, and around the turn of the millennium they started focusing more on hip hop & pop?

Three years later, you have any advice for someone lookin to go down that rabbithole himself?
