I’ll take the new Caetano Veloso record over the new Bob Dylan any day. Maybe it’s because I have no idea what he’s saying. For all I know, this could be a concept album about McDonald’s cutting down the rain forest. Or the Brazilian Relapse. Kevin Elliot speaks Portugese and he likes it. I trust him. He says it’s a “Sunday afternoon, slight buzz, with all the windows open,” type record. I trust that. It’s a Wednesday night and my windows are sealed shut. The buzz is more than slight. This a very good album.
If I were a doctor, I would prescribe this to Nene Hilario as consolation for the loss. Even though as we speak, Birdman is making him a Game 6 “pump-up mixtape” consisting of only Lil Wayne and Birdman’s Like Father, Like Son and Staind.
