To wit: After Brazil's horrendous defeat in the World Cup semi-final I tried to listen to some nicely recorded Brazilian jazz, just to reassure myself that there are things Brazilians can do with grace and dignity, but alas the stunning World Cup defeat seems to have adversely affected the sound of all the Brazilian jazz in my music library. Instead of singing all I hear now is sobbing. I've checked, rechecked, doubled checked and doubled rechecked all the setting but still the sobbing continues. Yes it is true: everything matters.
