Panush's Picks and Pans: Feeling blue? Girl pop will make you feel better.

Feeling blue? Girl pop will make you feel better.

For the next few days, I'm going to post about my favorite female artists from the recent months. Today I'll start with Annie and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Annie's music is pure pop. If she were in the States, she'd be Britney Spears, but since she's Norwegian, I can listen to her and still be moderately cool. I'd recommend My Love Is Better, The Breakfast Song and Loco.

Charlotte Gainsbourg has more of an indie sound. Her vocal style would be at home among the late 90s power pop of Liz Phair or Juliana Hatfield, but the songs are sparely arranged, with current folk rock elements (as might be expected from an album produced and largely written by Beck). I'd recommend Me and Jane Doe and Voyage.

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.
