BOSSA NOVA AT THE SUPERMARKET
for some reason being at a grocery store is very relaxing to me. i’m not quite sure why that is, there’s probably some kind of architectural or design element to explain that phenomenon, but i won’t pull the curtain back on the illusion. the only thing that could delight me more on my shopping excursion would be some equally delightful music, and what’s better than some soft bossa nova wafting over the bright green veggies being misted like the rains over the amazon? i carefully crafted this playlist with the hammond organ maestro walter wanderley in mind. for whatever reason the hammond organ just hits so good at a supermercado. maybe there’s some kind of explanation to that phenomenon too, but i’m not too worried about figuring that out either. 🛒🥦🍎🧀🥖

In the first week of my year living in the united states, i had the experience of getting lost when looking for the local market. It was summer, and the weather was so hot, i was frustrated because i wasn't being able to make myself clear, and tired from walking around, but when i finally found the market it was playing a soft piece by caetano veloso that almost made me cry of relief, and homesickness as well. A good bossa nova song at the right place can make someones day.

The astrud gilberto album
Bossa nova and samba music are just obvious and impeccable summer vibes. Listening makes me feel simultaneously like lying on a towel on a beach in a different corner of the world, and in a linen suit at a glamorous resort restaurant at sunset. A fav album of the genre for your listening pleasure.

giving yourself a present every day
“everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. just let it happen. it could be a new shirt at the men’s store. a catnap in your office chair. or two cups of good, hot black coffee.” in heaven everything is fine rest in peace david lynch..

adding to the tapestry of this community
i know for a fact that i’m guilty of wanting that dopamine hit of having people see my posts and like them, but i’m trying to change my mentality around that here. i’m finding myself more at peace just posting my recommendations and taking solace that someone might find them in the future and enjoy what i suggest, rather than needing an instant gratification of a like. i feel as though i’m adding a brick to the communal building that is this cool userbase of interesting people.
