Best Oldfield song is this.

Especially considering 3 of them were Tool and 2 Maudlin of The Well I've listened to quite a few today, as well. My record is 10+, I believe. During summer.   I listened to 8 today and am still about halfway through a (long) Mike Oldfield album. If theres a few more bright days this month i hope to beat it  I listened to two Lillian Axe albums this morning and 7 Rush albums during the day. A week before you see the band? I tend to avoid listening to much of a band at all when a few days from seeing them live.

I have to brush up on my air guitar and air drums.

ewwut

Caio, I've read a long time ago a book telling the exploration done by some dudes back in the 60s in the Matto Grosso. Basically there was amazing jungle, then miners, then amazing jungle again, them amazing tribes, then amazing jungle again, piranhas, etc. I was kinda hoping that got preserved. Well, it is being preserved. But I guess they went to so many different places because untill the late 70's the state was this big. It was absolutyelly enourmous and contained mostly untouched ecosystems. At that time, the state had jungles to the north (where it border the northern states and is part of the Legal Amazon), forests to the south-east (part of the Atlantic Forrest, today completelly destroyed), prairies/savannas in most of its territory and Pantanal (an ecosystem that only exists in South America, mostly located in BR territory). Today, the state that has the name Mato Grosso only has savannas and jungles (part of the Amazônia Legal), but it is still f**king massive, which is the biggest problem concerning preservation. But the fight against deforrestation is pretty srsbsns nowadays. If account the size of land the police has to cover with the amount of menpower they have, they are doing a pretty awesome job. There is still, however, a lot of room for improvement. You just need to remind that the hinterland of BR is mostly very empovirished and, msot of times, deforestation is the only mean of survival people have. However, nowadays the ones who have the bigger responsability for deforestation are the powerful and rich land owners, people who, most of times, law can't reach.

Good to know you guys still care. I loved reading about ecuatorial and tropical SA when I was a kid. Doyle's Lost World and Verne's The Might Orinocco were my early favourites. The anthropological part of that Matto Grosso expedition story was awesome too. Speaking of anthropology, I never got to read Strauss' Tropiques Tristes, though, somehow.
BTW I went yesterday to the greenhouses of the botanical garden, I almost lost my breath in the ecuatorial one because of the heat and humidity. Compared to that, the tropical ones were almost cool.

I made a few Velvet Rooms.  I pissed off Rico.

I'm not doing another one.

Let Siam have it.

Whoever starts the new Shred has to login at least daily to entertain our title change requests. I'm f**king  with Morse. 

Be back l8r.

BTW, who currently has the most posts on PA?
