A friend of mine organized a Christmas gift swap last month, and the gift I received was so cool I have to post some pictures of it here. It’s a sleeping cat made out of marzipan, on top of a base of solid chocolate. It came in a lovely presentation box, too! I’ve eaten a little bit of it since I took the pictures – yummy!
I’ve just finished up my Fall mix for 2008, and it’s an eclectic blend of chillout classics from the mid-90’s to early 2000’s. It opens up with a tune by Yoko Kanno, a Japanese composer known for her work on many famous anime including Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. Titled “Pulse,” it is the theme from 1994’s Macross Plus, and I’ve wanted to include it in a mix for a long time. Other notables include Cigani Rusza & Angelo’s gypsy-inflected tune “Demovast,” John Medeski’s rollicking “Swamp Road,” and Nightmares on Wax’s bouncey ode to ‘back in the day’ “70’s & 80’s.”
