This band released its first album in 1984, and I turned 21 that year, but I only recently heard of them. I first heard "Big In Japan" a year or two ago on an Internet radio station, but it passed to the back of my mind, until I stumbled across it on YouTube, and it led me to other songs of theirs. I downloaded their first two albums from BearShare, and I liked them well enough to order them from Amazon. They should arrive in a week or so.

Brazilian stuff right now:
"Made In Japan," "Imperfeito" and other giddy stuff from Pato Fu.
(BTW, if there's a Portuguese-speaker in the house who knows even a cursory translation for a song called "Nome De Guerra" by singer-guitar goddess Joyce Silveira Palhano de Jesus and Paulo Cesar Pinheiro, let me know. I'll be your friend forever. Searched the net high and low and found nothing.)

DB, yeah, I figured out the title. [grin] There's a nice little snippet of the song here. Joyce and Pinheiro are both hugely prolific artists, but even on several directories of lyrics in the original tongue, I couldn't find transcription.
Hard Bossa is a wonderful disc.

Every once in a while, I'll encounter music that I've somehow gone my whole life without hearing, then - the first time I do - I realize I've been incomplete without it. It happened a couple years ago with Nina Simone, again last year with Leadbelly.
Last night, I heard for the very first time, the album, "Astral Weeks" by Van Morrison.
OH... MY... GOD!!!
If, like pitiful Exnihil of yesterday, you have never listened to this album, stop whatever you are doing and find it. It is, very possibly, the most beautiful album I've ever heard.

"Illusion Suite," from Jane Bunnett's Spirituals and Dedications.
Dean Bowman (not to be confused with the pro football player of the same name) is the greatest vocalist that nobody's ever heard of (because he's always a sideman on others' discs).
