No one in the viewing party at my house cared for the outcome this year, but it was overall a fun show. My top picks were Finland and Austria, but Ukraine and Norway got a lot of love here as well. Serbia had a really interesting performance with a giant mecha in the background.

Fifty years ago, in the middle of the military dictatorship, a music festival brought together the best Brazilian artists, some of whom were already the target of military censorship.According to texts cited by Wikipedia, the festival would have been documented in a movie, just like the American music festival Woodstock. However, problems with the payment of rights prevented the release of the film, which spent more than 30 years in storage, which damaged the negatives of the documentary. Today there are just over 30 minutes of footage left.

Not sure whether to file this under “Da Musicz” or “Odd Stuff”. Bobby Fingers is involved so you know it’ll be weird.
There’s a Dune sample in there.

One can ‘rewind’ back to the beginning if one perhaps had it cued up but then forgot to click ‘play’ at noon.
Just a general head’s-up, no particular reason why I would mention this.

Duppy = ghost
Ackee = Blighia sapida
A tree native to W Africa, whose fruits are toxic until ripe, as seen above. It was brought to Jamaica in the 1770s, and became the national fruit, while ackee and saltfish is Jamaica’s national dish. Mom and I disliked the saltfish part. Ackee fried up in butter has the same taste and consistency as scrambled eggs, and we loved it with some bacon crumbled in.
