Comment:
Many songs chosen to elicit memories of places traveled with the recipient (Dublin, Brighton Beach, London, etc.) All others chosen for their having the name of another city or country in the title or featured prominently in the lyrics.*edit* Definitely listed as Joao, not Bebel even on the mp3. Looks like I mistagged it elsewhere. Thanks for pointing that out!
Feedback:
Ah, very nice journey. I think the last one is Astrud Gilberto and Joao Gilberto with Stan Getz, from the legendary Getz/Gilberto concert. Since Bebel is Joao's daughter and her recordings of the Garota de Ipanema are with Vinicius Cantußria (Next Stop , Wonderland) and with hmm... Kenny G (Classics in the key of G). Anyway, forgive my long-ass reply.
great theme, great execution. i especially like the NMH, beatles, clash, arcade fire & kanye west picks.
