Bonobo - Not just a horny primate

Ninja Tune DJ Bonobo's latest album is a solid trip-hop effort. Two of the tracks are absolutely fantastic: All In Forms and Animals. Even if you don't think this is your type of music, give the songs a listen at least once all the way through. Bonobo builds a mood and uses dynamic beat changes and instrumentation to pack an emotional punch. In particular, these songs remind me of Cinematic Orchestra.

Check 'em out. If you like these two, his best all-time track is Between the Lines (featuring Bajka). Freakin' jazz flute man. Always a plus.

As always, if you like the songs, pay the man, Shirley.

Well OK then.

Welcome to my music blog. For a few years now, I've been blabbing on to this or that friend or relative about music that I like. Much of the time, they actually like what I've played for them. Sometimes, the tech savvy among them have said I should start a music blog. So here goes.

I also made a resolution (that just happens to coincide with the Jewish new year) that I should cook for myself more often (well that is to say, at all since more often implies that I was cooking previously which I was not). Again, maybe it was just one instance too many of a friend or relative mocking my steady diet of Trader Joe's prepared meals. So once in a while, more for me than for you, dear and infrequent reader, I'll also post about my adventures in unskilled cooking.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and helps me cook. Thanks also to anyone who reads and recommends some music to me in return. I also love to hear feedback if you like something I've recommended.
