What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two).RSS feed

Canta Roberto Carlos / Tamara
Canta Roberto Carlos Tamara Canta Roberto Carlos is a tribute to a composer I don't know by a performer I'd never heard before in a language I don't speak. And to make matters even more confusing, the iTMS seems to have a little identity problem, confusing the Tamara who sings Roberto Carlos with another Tamara who recorded an album called My Life, as well as an R&B singer named TaMara. Fortunately for me, all I had to do was consult Google; if I could read the page, this wasn't the droid I was looking for. (Sorry, I seem to be channeling Obi-Wan.)

Good thing I have Google to translate from Spanish to something resembling but not quite English. From which I learned that Tamara is the twenty year old granddaughter of a famous flamenco singer who became a Spanish pop sensation at age fifteen, that Carlos is a great Brazilian romantic composer and that my hovercraft is full of eels. (Oops, sorry; now I'm doing Python.)

Anyway, none of that has anything to do with the fact that Tamara has a wonderful voice and that the songs she performs here take full advantage. And not understanding a word hardly seems to matter.
