I successfully avoided Valentines Day

I stumbled across this album recently, and rediscovered how excellent it truly is. I'm not going to ramble much about it right now, hopefully I'll get more enthusiastic about it tomorrow and write a little more. For now I'll just post it and listen to it and enjoy it. I recommend anyone else doing the same.

I can see someone sitting around with his or her significant other, each with a glass of wine, a warm fire burning in the hearth, and dreams of impending sexual debauchery dancing in their heads.

The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions featuring Seu Jorge is an album by Brazilian musician Seu Jorge. It is a collection of David Bowie songs (plus one original, "Team Zissou") Jorge recorded in Portuguese for the soundtrack to the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Five of the covers were featured on the original soundtrack of the film (but were rerecorded for this album), while seven are being released on this album for the first time. The translation to Portuguese is not exact; Seu Jorge maintains the melodies and styles, but often varies the lyrics.

Seu Jorge has gained exposure through his work as an actor and soundtrack composer. He appeared in the critically acclaimed film City of God as Mané Galinha, and then played Pelé Dos Santos in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, for which he provided much of the soundtrack in the form of Portuguese language cover versions of David Bowie classics.
