    Ernest's Interests
General Banda Dom - Deus é Dez
Music would be the biggest thing in my life now, even though no longer perform professionally. Most of my work is behind the scenes writing about music - mostly jazz and world these days with the occasional alternative band. But I have branched out a bit, writing on food and drink for The New York Press and Foreign News; I also have a strong literary and movie side. And here is a clip of Marisa Monte, one of Brazil's best current singers Paul McCartney, "Dance Tonight"
MusicOh God --- So much - i'd rather say what I don't really listen to - metal and Gangsta rap... Here's a clip of one of my favorite Brazilian artists, Rita Lee...
MoviesBeen watching so many movies, I can quote them all the time; am not a fan of blockbusters, though, as I get them later on DVD... but do love the classics.
One favorite is this 80s gem:
TelevisionNot much of a TV person, really... Though this is a guilty pleasure of mine
BooksI read a lot, but mysteries are my thing

HeroesHeroes? Nah...

   Ernest's Blurbs
About me:
I am a bilingual English/Portuguese freelance writer whose main focus has been on the music business, although I occasionally publish pieces on subjects that move me for a reason or another, like the recently published rant on the situation of Praia de Iracema in Fortaleza, Brazil, which got printed (as of this writing) in two different alternative publications. There have also been some business and travel-oriented pieces; in addition, I have published some foodie articles as well.
Most of my articles have been featured on alt-weeklies around the country. Currently you can see my byline in Kansas, New York, Florida, Cleveland, Texas, New Jersey, San Francisco and Arizona (most of these papers published by VVM around the country). I am always open to new assignments, and I am working towards being hired by a larger publication so that I can quit my day job and concentrate on my writing full-time. I am progressively reducing my ESL teaching hours at a Midtown language center; hopefully, I will be dedicating myself solely to writing by the summer of 2008.
Editors who are willing to send me gigs or translations in the two languages I master please email me directly at mailto:ebarteldes@yahoo.com
Who I'd like to meet:
ahref="http://www.headcount.org/push.asp?ptbid=1365">Register To VotePeople who can help take me to the next level in my writing, such as musicians, editors, fellow writers, etc.Of course that is a two-way street and can give a few tips to newcomers. I have few friends in the writing side of the business; a lot of people might know my name from reading my work, but I am yet to see their faces...
But I guess that's how the business itself works, right?
