Javelin - Musical Omnivores

Javelin is a breath of fresh air in the music landscape. They are a pair of cousins from Providence (now based in Brooklyn, of course) well steeped in the mashed up musical styles of the best of modern music. On one track, they'll sound like Thievery Corporation, on another Daft Punk or The Go! Team, and then they'll just sound like a couple of guys with some Casios, a drum machine, and a Coke bottle. It's pretty damn awesome.

My favorites are On It On It, Intervales Theme, and Off My Mind.

The best thing about Javelin is that you can listen to the whole album here.

I thought their home page was cool - loved the quilt in the background and the virtual drumkit and beat machine you can play.

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.
