BOSSA NOVA BONGHEAD

Devendra Banhart must be the most overrated hippie of all time, some noodling on your guitar and singing 'weird' lyrics like a retard without ever finishing a song doesn't make you a genius. I do that shit everytime I got a guitar in my hands and people beg me to stop everytime and I am a genius! I just can't afford the same promopeople he and his label can. Anyway, that was before I heard his new album. Still not my favourite music in the world but he finally managed to finish some of his songs and he sings some songs in a language I don't understand, which as you might know, I am a sucker for. It also reminds me of a hell of a lot of Tropicalia (brasilian boys and girls who took a whole lot of drugs and tried to play Bossa Nova like the Beatles would) like Os Mutantes and Caetano Veloso, which I am an even bigger sucker for! What the hell! I like some Devendra Banhart! A goddamn hippie! I am going to listen to some Venom now to wash that hippieshit out of my brain.

Listen to one of the songs I am talking about here: Devendra Banhart - Pensando enti
