i'm really sorry knox, i just haven't met anyone wearing more than five brasil things at once who wasn't really funny

you do not know much about football, do you?

sorry?

i haven't met anyone doing that ever, so i'm sure i'd find it funny.
perhaps more disturbing than funny.
but still.

ola mi amigos y amiga.

¿qué pasa?

que pasa es que estoy
bebiendo una budweiser
como un gringo

my wife, she dance the cu-duro dance for me.

¡aí aí aí, que bueno!

you know i'm talking about canada right?


nobody knows much about football when it's not the world cup

and brazil is just not one of the two bandwagon teams.

most canadian people i meet go for england or italy, the italy ones are usually the worst.

but if it's not the world cup, it's not very fashionable to wear colourful "soccer" stuff on a daily basis.

just italy bandwagon jumpers and immigrants keep that shit up year round.

football is simply not very popular the rest of the time (and during the world cup, telling people that you don't care about it, is probably more popular than the event)


although i'm sure the brasil bandwagon here during the next world cup will be overwhelming

but most frquently the canadian guy who spent an entire pay cheque on "soccer" gear a week before the world cup, likes england or italy, and if he likes england he'll only wear it a few times.

you simply don't get any fashion points here for that, people don't like "soccer" here most of the time, and the only good hockey player who was born in brasil was actually just the son of some canucks spreading the word of jesus


i think i'm rambling, but showing that you care about international football is generally "uncool" in this area

i was sadly in canada, when this greatest act of footballing occurred, and surrounded by italians too so i couldn't express my overwhelming emotionalness and stuff


down with materazzi

let us just clarify two things:

- nobody cares about hockey.
- when it comes to football, only one country has won the world cup five times (and probably never again) and has been in every world cup ever. Italy I can kind of understand, but if they're wearing England shirts they're kind of doing it wrong.

these things are not unclear

nobody in coldland really cares about that world cup from the 50s. i think even 1994 has probably faded from memory now.

interest in football is not built to withstand temperatures of thirty degrees below zero.


brasil is on earth. my region is getting ready to take off for the ice planet hoth within the next month

in space, nobody cares about "soccer" unless it's the only thing on tv

what do you mean from the 50s?
1994? 2002?
pffft.
go skate on ice.

i mean the one from the fifties duh.

with football so many innocent poor people get hurt

in hockey we usually keep the violence limited to the athletes, they can afford new teeth every week

that just makes a classier pass time

the beautiful game

this thread has mutated

i can't skate so that's just mean!

at what point did "Kanada" sound like "a good idea"? do they spit on you?

they do really mutate

No, I´m from Finland.

William G Sumner might not agree with that definition. But all he did was invent the word, so who cares?

Anyway, I don't internet argue. You're smart and sharp and I've got no beef.

BTW: if you're from Brazil, or are Portuguese, and I have offended you in some way- I apologize.

I'm both and you can't offend me.

i'm neither and i cried

That's good- I don't want to.

You are correct that aside from my friend, and what she has told me, I am ignorant about Brazil, almost completely. I'm not an ignorant person, though. Also, I hate internet fighting more than anything (mostly because it's, like, the dumbest activity a human being can engage in). So, all's well I suppose.

I don't fight, I discuss.
People are often too defensive and take everything personally, but that's not my problem.

I didn´t say Ethiopiques-compilations is like Os Mutantes, just said the creative period was also in Ethiopia that time.

But in the other hand, to me Os mutantes really don´t sound like the Beatles. I´m not Mutentes-expert, but I think in their music has a lot latino-influences. Also sixties-seventies Ethiopian music is a unique mixture of soul-jazz and traditional Ethiopian music influences. And the greatest instrumental music maker Mulatu Astatke also studied in USA and got there latino-influences to his music as you can hear it here (this song is in the Jim Jarmusch-movie Broken Flowers):

And I think this is also not so far from psychedelia (by the way there is Finnish musician playing flute-solo, he just happend to be in Addis Abeba that time):

Here´s also few Finnish pearls from that time:

If you DeadDisco want to hear those Ethiopiques-compilations, I think you can start from Ethiopiques 13 and 4. 1 and 3 are also very good.

Nuggets II 4cd-box is also a great proof to that creative period happened all over the world. Although many bands there are from Europe, there is also bands from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Peru and from Brazil (suprise,suprise) Os Mutantes! I think the reason why there isn´t more interesting band outside Europe is that the makers of that compilation have wanted put there only english-singing bands (Os Mutantes is only exception and their song is Bat Macumba where is no other words than Bat Macumba).

Agreed.

I hate it when I say "I hate (insert name of book, band, movie here)" and someone else says "I hate you".

It's absurd.
