"Tropicalia" and "Irene" are two incredible albums by Brazilian psychedelic artist Caetano Veloso.  On vinyl they're rare and hard to come by.  Last night when I trekked all the way to downtown Houston to see Johnny Gunhand and the Ramblin' Reverends, I found the two vinyls in the record store next door.  This brings me to right now:

Sitting in my father's chair, blogging with my novel of choice next to me, while Tropicalia is humming in my right ear softly.  I hear it's raining in Austin.  It's only just dark here.

(as I typed that the sun came out)
