I love music.

I am especially obsessed right now with Brazilian music, especially MPB of the 1960s, especially Nara Leão, Sidney Miller, Chico Buarque de Hollanda, Edu Lobo, and Quarteto em Cy. My desert island discs (can this desert island please be in Brazil and have electricity and a record player?) are Nara’s Pede Passagem (1966), Manhã de Liberdade (1966), Vento de Maio (1967), and Coisas do Mundo (1968); Sidney Miller’s Brasil, Do Guarani Ao Guaraná (1968); Chico Buarque de Hollanda’s self-titled debut (1966); Quarteto Em Cy’s De Marré de Cy (1967); and Edu Lobo and Maria Bethânia’s Edu e Bethania (1966).

I also love Tommy, Paul McCartney solo albums, Neil Young, Charles Mingus, Andrew Hill, Prince Lasha's The Cry!, Clifford Jordan in the World, Japanese jazz, Aldous Harding, Bill Callahan, Serge Gainsbourg, Low, Yo La Tengo, and the Phantom of the Paradise soundtrack.

I release my own music as Single Pigeon. My latest album is called KISSING WITH AN ALIEN. It's on Bandcamp and on Spotify and Apple Music etc. Also, for better or worse, I have put out A MUSIC VIDEO for the title track. My previous record is called On Two Sides. I also have some singles on Bandcamp and on streaming, notably my first, Sillys Place.
