Aquele que cancelou a participação nas Fronteiras do Pensamento e Joshua Klein, da Pitchfork, defendem que uma banda brasileira precisa soar brasileira - e tomam como contra-exemplo a banda de pós-rock de Curitiba ruído/mm, dos amigos André Ramiro e Ricardo.

Pitchfork: A few minutes before you called, a Brazilian friend of mine messaged me to say he had just heard the best Brazilian record of the year. I gave it a listen - it was kind of this spaghetti-western space rock music - but noted that since it was instrumental and in a rock idiom, it really could have come from anywhere. Brazil, Brooklyn, Chicago...

David Byrne: So what is it?

Pitchfork: It's a band called Ruido/MM.

DB: Huh. Never heard of them!

Pitchfork: People generalize so much - American music, Brazilian music, whatever. But if I were Brazilian, my conception of Brazilian music would likely be completely different from that of someone who wasn't Brazilian.

DB: Yeah. And a lot of times people, as your friend did, pick music that you'll listen to and go, "This doesn't sound Brazilian at all to me. Why should I listen to this group that sounds like they could be from Seattle, or anywhere?" Yeah, we tend to want our Brazilian groups, or our French groups or whatever to have some kind of sound that we associate with that country.
