I feel like I've mentioned this song so many times, but what can I say, I love it and so many of my favorite artists have covered it. I was (very) pleasantly surprised to find a version of the Chaplin song "Smile" performed by the Brazilian bloco afro Olodum, complete with tight beats and cheesy synth strings! Check it:

I've really been hyping the Brazilian stuff lately. It's just so fun to play, and listen to. And I love when two of my favorite things are combined. :)
A couple of other things:
-
One of the many upcoming things that I cannot wait for: a George Harrison documentary produced by Martin Scorsese? Win.
-
I just found out that Dennis Hopper has passed away. :( So long to one of the 60s' greatest icons...
