By Eric Wendt Don’t get your hopes too high just yet, everyone. This story comes from Brazil, land of picturesque beaches and seemingly endless models. So, y’know, it’s not like you’re going to be able to go to town on yourself during your shift at Burger King. Anyway, a 36-year-old Brazilian woman named Ana Catarina Bezerra Silvares [...]
Eli Paperboy Reed and the True Loves As good as Brazil’s make-upped hard rock band Oxe were, it would be a bit overly ambitious to be spending the entire Wednesday night out. At 12:30 I started to make my way back up the hill to Full Service’s house. Try riding up the hill south on [...]
There are a few writers here at Synthesis who swear by Omaha noisy indie-rockers Cursive. Personally, I’m on the fence about them, having seen some hit-or-miss shows. But they’re at least worthy of a listen, and with their new album dropping this April, I plan on letting them have another shot at winning my heart. [...]

I’m not exactly sure what Donkey Style is, but I’ve got a few guesses. Maybe the Brazilian kids in Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS) can help clue me in. The follow up to their 2006 self-titled release will be called Donkey and is set to hit stores July 21st.
In an attempt to break a world record for most hours flying using party balloons, a Brazilian Roman catholic Priest, suspended by 1,000 helium balloons, is now missing. His aim was to raise money to build a rest-stop church for truckers. Even on my best day I couldn’t make this shit up. Wacky news story [...]
It’s a good thing Brazil exists. I know it has its problems–it’s running out of rain forests and it struggles with crime and poverty–but without it the world would be without lingerie models, and aging power metal bands would have nowhere to go where they’re still revered as GODS. For proof of the latter, check [...]
While I’m really tempted to lambaste the hippies with world music, this is actually true world music, not your typical mid-40s find yourself world music. You gotta admit, the part with the water flute is super legitimate. Music of the heavens, man, music of the heavens… Hermeto Pascoal
