Sean's School of Seduction
The Forever Fiancee and I are going on 14 years together this year. The lady knows all my wooing tricks: the Dance of the Seven Buttons, the Cowboy, the Whirly (send a self-addressed stamped envelope and $9.99 and I'll provide full instructions for each. Assless chaps not included).
Anyway, when you hit the 14-year-itch, and you can't get by on your rock-hard abs anymore, you have to mix things up. And when I say "things," I mean great quantities of booze. The FF and I are all about mojitos these days. And nothing goes better with those randy spirits than a little bossa nova. So next time you're in the mood for a little nook-nook, pull out the sugar cane, pull on the chaps and play this new album by the devastatingly sexy Bebel Gilberto. You can thank me during that post-romp smoke.
Bebel Gilberto
Album: Momento (Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees)
In stores: Tuesday
Why we care: Just call her the Bossa Nova Baby. Brazilian beauty Bebel is the daughter of Joao Gilberto, a founding papi of the bossa nova movement. With her pillow-soft vocal and a flirty ear for seductive lyrics, the 40-year-old star is sexy chip off the old block.
Why we like it: A burbling backdrop of electronica gives this, her third album, a mellow modern lushness. Gilberto and special guest Sabina Sciubba (from indie faves Brazilian Girls) make for the most intoxicating pairing since Tanqueray and tonic.
Reminds us of: Another girl from Ipanema
Download these: Bring Back the Love and Cacada
Grade: B+

Hmm ... guess the "Wolf Mask" technique no longer works.

The Wolf Mask was retired in 1988 -- although I might dust it off for the 20th anniversary.

I love Bebel Gilberto. It should be a major event when this lady releases a new CD, but I actually had to do a bit of hunting to find her last one during the week it was released. I've already seen a few mentions of the new album on some other blogs, so hopefully this one will have a larger profile.

Sean,
I followed your advice and picked up the Prosser CD. Most Excellent!
This also sounds very interesting and right up my alley, so I'll give it a try.
