The Adventures of Marv Continued (being a very very very occasional update on my iPod music) I changed the settings on Marv so he wouldn't automatically sync with all of the music on my computer. I'm actually running out of memory on my Mac, so this way I can just drop mp3s onto the iPod without ripping them onto the computer first. (BTW - thanks to Filchyboy for hepping me to the lingo.) My latest additions to the collection: Miles Davis - In a Silent Way, Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain John Coltrane - Bahia, My Favorite Things (I don't yet own A Love Supreme) Nortec Collective - The Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 1 Suba - São Paolo Confessions Suba was a brilliant and well-respected Brazilian producer who died in a fire in 1999, shortly after releasing this amazing solo album. After producing some of the modern classics of Brazilian music, including Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto, he went to work on his first and only solo work. Confessions combines traditional Brazilian rhythms with electronic beats and atmospheres to replicate the rainforest/ultramodern feel of São Paolo itself. If you're into world music or Brazilian music at all, check out this album. 7:50:42 PM    Speak up!  []
