Nice article about her:
It was… I just posted that in the music thread!
RIP, Mimi!
It’s been a bad few days here
From September:
‘Takeoff’ from Migos was shot and killed:
This is one of my all time favorite songs.
It was only in July that Manny Charlton died - Nazareth guitarist.
(Link is to his obit, upthread)
If there’s a rock and roll heaven you know they have a hell of a band.
They’re having a big ass public memorial for him over at State Farm arena on Friday…
RIP, Takeoff!
Also… here is Migos Tiny Desk Concert from pretty recently…
Gal Costa, brazilian singer.
Mr. Rolando Boldrin, singer, actor, tv host died today.
I love her earlier more psyche (Tropicalia) stuff. Listening to live in London ‘71 where they were avoiding the dictatorship.
They seem to be dropping today.
Nerds of a certain age will remember Carlos Pacheco from his spectacular debut at Marvel in the 90’s.
The Guardian seems to be lagging behind a bit…
Also: hell yes, assembler.
Sometimes they are lagging, and sometimes they lag deliberately - obits in the actual paper can be very late as they seem to use them as ‘filler’
(‘skip it if there aint enough space in the paper today / we need some filler in the paper today, get me an obit from the last month or so that we didn’t publish on the day’)
Thanks for the tip. Although I am not a fan of Mrs. Costa, i enjyoed this album. Her early stuff was great.
Trivia:
Mr. Caetano Veloso and Mr. Gilberto Gil were arrested in 1968 and had to flee our country, just like many other people.
