This Halloween I'll be drinking McNuggetinis
Two words: Ham Daquiri
It's that lovely time of year in San Francisco when the sky is blue and clear, the sun is warm but the air still crispy, the game developers are in town and a young man's fancy starts turning back towards Zeitgeist. And love. But mostly Zeitgeist.
I have to admit that, despite their Trip Hop vibe, I'd always assumed that Smoke City were Brazillian since it seemed unlikely that anyone British could produce something with the lazy, smokey coolness that brings to mind bikinis and caipirinhas.
That said, lead singer Nina Miranda is half English, half Brazillian, born in Brazil and sang the song in English but with a French accent, occasionally breaking into Brazilian Portuguese so I don't feel too bad about the mistake.
I'd also completely forgotten it featured in one of Michel Gondry's Levi's adverts which just goes to show that despite a sometimes freakish memory for the most minutest of details from over a decade ago there are also just huge chunks of my memory that seem to have been quietly erased.
Now, I wonder if there's a company out there that will let me hire a couple of nubile young girls to fan me with palm fronds ....
