Os Mutantes Has Altered My DNA

Since Wednesday I've been walking around with a stupid afterglow grin that must make my colleagues think there's some kind of funny business going on behind the closed door of my office.

"What's up?" they ask.

"I just saw a sweet concert," I say, grinning stupidly.

"Oh yeah? Who'd you see?"

"Os Mutantes."

The blank look is almost always the same. "Oh. Great," they say. The polite ones ask for more information, which I now provide to the world (or at least the subset that reads my blog) in the form of video.

Here's the trailer for a new documentary about the band. It provides the historical framework and gives you a taste of their music and peerless, unrelenting originality.

Then, once you are ready, delve deeper.

Then.

Now.

Now the only thing left to do is to buy the CD. This one, assembled by David Byrne of Talking Heads fame, is the best introduction to the band, but this one is also pretty essential.
