I was reading earlier today about how, in Scandinavian folklore, the nomenclature that's usually rendered as "ring" in modern English can variously refer to bracelets, armlets, or torcs as well as to finger rings. It's usually clear from context which is intended, though there are some legendary "rings" whose form is not specified in surviving accounts.

This ambiguity is, of course, not present in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings; though the work and its titular object are inspired by these sagas, the One Ring is clearly described as a finger ring. However, my brain has seized upon the finger-ring-or-bracelet ambiguity and spontaneously produced an anachronistic 1990s teen movie version of The Lord of the Rings in which the One "Ring" is a cursed slap bracelet.

No problem!! As I said, I absolutely love talking about brazilian music

Also, there’s this radio station called GFM (90.1) that has a special called “Toque Brasileiro”, that only plays brazilian music. It starts at 12pm by Brasília timezone (11pm by Washington timezone)

You can also check other infos on their website!

Some of my favourites:

Viradouro’s 2024 samba enredo: Arroboboi, Dangbé [X]

(not exactly a heart aching song but it’s great anyways)

Amor de Índio by Beto Guedes [X]

(please notice that we don’t use the word “Índio” anymore, but the song is kinda old, so the name stayed that way)

Eu não valho nada by Lagum [X]

Amor e preconceito by Lulu Santos [X]

Meu nome é Gal by Gal Costa [X]

(Rip to our Queen Gal Costa 😔 in this song, she competes with a guitar and there’s a point where you can’t say what are you hearing: her voice or the guitar)

Carcará sung by Maria Bethânia [X]

Carta de Amor sung by Maria Bethânia [X]

Realce by Gilberto Gil [X]
