If you like Forro music, get some Luis Gonzaga CDS. He was big name for many many years.

"I am a sick man. ... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I
believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my
disease, and do not know for certain what ails me." This first line from Notes From the Underground and the rest of the first paragraph, grabs me by the throat. It's one of the most powerful openers in all of fiction--up there with the first page of The Great Gatsby.

But you get the joke, yes?

Hee... yes I do... sometimes it scares me that I get so many of your jokes.

I believe a more accurate translation of the title of "notes from the underground" is something like "notes from a mousehole" which is more appropriate , but not as sexy.

Well, all i gots to say is that those salami-carrying cartoon cats listen to some fine music...

I dont' know how many of you are Tom and Jerry fans, but there are some cartoons made in the 60s with some really good jazz music in the background. And of course who can forget Top Cat, who was from the BeBop era...

What's not sexy about a mousehole?

Well, "underground" implies something political, perhaps, a "movement" whereas "mousehole" although sexy in it's own right, seems to imply, a lone cowering resident, crouching, timidly watching. I don't know why, because especially if you've seen such nature shows as "Tom and Jerry" you know that those mouses are havin' a wild little time.

Or.... the dinosaur family that lived in the mousehole in PeeWee's Playhouse. Seriously though, mousehole would have fit the context of the book better, but that's the first I've ever thought about it.
