Arnold in Rio
I can totally understand why Brazil is devoted to my favorite body part, the ass.
Thx Half.

Otto Mühl
Otto Mühl (born 1925) is an Austrian artist, who is best known as one of the co-founders as well as a main participant of Viennese Actionism. In 1972 he founded the Friedrichshof Commune, which has been viewed by some as an authoritarian sect. In 1991, Muehl was convicted of sexual crimes involving adolescents, and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment. The commune fell apart but Otto set up another in Portugal where he still continues to work.

Greece
What does Greek music bring to mind? Nana Mouskouri, Giorgos Alkaios (Opa!) and plate breaking probably. Despite not known as the hub of alternative music, I've recently come across a few respectable tunes. (I had to dig pretty deep to be honest!)
[edit: Unfortunately I had to remove download links but you can always ask me to send you them privately if you wish to hear more.]
The following (Stelios Kazatzidis - Ena sidero anameno) is a scene from the Wire, the best written TV series ever. More of the traditional ethnic folk music category, of which 99% tends to be shit, but I love this one.
Something more modern, "Greek Mogwai":

Me and Orson Welles (2008) ★★
The bone-deep understanding that your life is so utterly without meaning that simply to survive you have to reinvent yourself. Because if people can’t find you, they can’t dislike you.

ceo - White Magic
Spoiler alert. Quite a finish for an album.
Second to last track:
and the last: SUVI-, VITUN, VIRSI! (17th century church song from Sweden which is sung at schools on the final day of the school year to mark the beginning of summer).
Torrent for ceo - White Magic album.

Eesti kunsti
I left London to move in with my parents, in the heart of the rudest part of Finland one will ever visit.
Working for a factory that produces steel and having not much to do, I've developed a numbness I've never felt before.
A welcome change to this monotonous summer, came when my parents decided to take a family trip to Tallinn.
A brief visit to KUMU, (Eesti Kunstimuuseum, Estonian art museum), to see the exhibition on Estonian art, worked like a big bucket of cold water being thrown on me, waking me up from a month-long coma.
Having seen this, it makes the visit to most art museums seem like a walk through a busy motorway with trash thrown to the sides from cars passing by.

Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray (2009) ★★
One of my favourite novels raped, again.
Duncan Roy's 2007 modern adaptation version was even worse.
