To listen to while pedaling
The perfect sound for those who enjoy biking and bike paths.
This is a playlist of music videos to enjoy while cycling on bike paths and lanes. It features bands and artists who are less well-known to the general public, but they're all on my iPod. Some have even toured Brazil. Meanwhile, I'm riding around listening to these fantastic musicians. Let's go for a ride, Robinho?
1- The Bees "Winter Rose" - I have 3 albums by this band: "Free the Bees," "Octopus," and "Sunshine Hit Me." They're all very good. Sometimes I go for a bike ride and The Bees make a fantastic soundtrack!

2- Wilco "I Must Be High" - This song is from the album "am.pm.", one of my favorite Wilco albums. It has other incredible songs like "Casino Queen", "Box Full of Letters", and "It's Just That Simple". Listen to the whole album today, please! For now, here's the video.

3- The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi battles the pink robots" - I was at their show in São Paulo. These guys are delightfully creative. I love their songs and music videos.

4- The Magic Numbers "Love is just a game" - This video is from a live performance in a bar. They are chubby and cute. And this song makes anyone cry, even if they're secretly crying. Go to a corner and enjoy this.

5- The Shins "Kissing the Lipless". This band is from Albuquerque, New Mexico. A guaranteed trip. I have 4 of their albums, all great. If they were playing tomorrow at some dive bar on Augusta Street, I'd be there to sing along to their songs!

6- Devendra Banhart "Rats" - Song from the album "What will we be". This guy has incredible work. A good friend of Rodrigo Amarante, he often invites him for ginseng tea whenever possible. This video, made with Super 8 footage, is spectacular. Great musician, he just needs to take a shower. A real hippie!

7- Morning Teleportation "Expanding anyway" - Those Americans and their Timothy Leary-esque ideas! Shall we travel?
