Cool Hunting
Three Na Massa is a Brazilian group heavily steeped in the music of the last four decades. The debut LP borrows from styles as diverse as Bossa Nova to trip-hop. Consisting of São Paulo-residents Rica Amabis, Pupillo and Sucinto Silva, the group sought a different female vocalist to voice each song on their self-titled record. The result is a diverse disc with 13 different chantreuses interpreting music that pays homage to both João Gilberto and Serge Gainsbourg.
The dynamic between the all-male band and the harem of female singers is palpable. Even their name — which translates to "three in the dough," a Portuguese phrase for something that makes one's mouth water — is a not-so-subtle reference to the sensual themes that permeate their music and lyrics.
You can pick up their album from Nublu or Amazon, and follow upcoming performances on their Myspace page. Also, check out their video above for the song "Tatui," voiced by Brazilian soap opera star Karine Carvalho.

In an interview with him conducted over iChat, he explains how...
Baltimore artrock heroes Ponytail have been blowing up basements from MICA to Pratt for a while now. We included them on our Memorial Day Muxtape (R.I.P.) back in May, but we wanted more. In this video, we spend a sweaty summer weekend with Ponytail at shows in Baltimore and Brooklyn and talk shop over homemade omelets at their house and practice space. We’re hoping...

Flavorpill's One Step Beyond Party is taking over the American Museum of Natural History once again this upcoming Friday, 14 September 2007, this time with Bonde Do Role, Plastic Little and King Britt.

Episode 86 follows grunge-pop superstar YACHT (aka Jona Bechtolt) to a show on an actual yacht, around his Portland, OR apartment and on tour. He shows off his spastic cheerleader-meets-Ian Curtis dance moves, talks tech and introduces his cat and best friend Whiskers. This video is only a glimpse into the life of one of the most promising young, rising laptop rockers out there,...
Remastered for its 25th anniversary, the enhanced edition of Laurie Anderson's Big Science was released earlier this summer. Her music, aural soundscape testaments to the rising tide of insecurities, make a fitting contemporary soundtrack. While we're fans of the groundbreaking album as is for its soothing sound and clever lyrics, Dan the Automator's version of her sit single is a rare case of a remix...
