About Me
- Name: Ladrón de Basura (a.k.a. Junk Thief)
- Location: San Francisco, California, United States
JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

Never heard of her, but then again I don't listen to music sung in Portuguese much.
WAT - Well, I mainly know Brazilian Portuguese music, but I'd recommend Amalia too. She was sort of the Ellis Regina of Lisbon.
"Numa casa portugesa fica bem... pão e vinho sobre a mesa...."
I'm such a drama queen inside that o fado speaks to me perfectly. You must check out Mariza if you haven't -- especially her first album, Fado em Mim. I've seen her about three times live.
"Mein Freund, dort ist immer Brot und Wein auf meiner Tabelle."
Now are you suggesting that there might be a fado drama queen lurking inside of me? Okay, likely so. I've heard a couple of ditties by Mariza on KCRW but have yet to have the pleasure of seeing her live.
