blame it on the bossa nova

lisa's ono bossa hula nova has helped keep my sanity in check as i fiddle (and fiddle then fiddle some more) with the website. the music is very cool & mellow which is perfect when illustrator is determined to make you go mad.

her music seems to have flown under the rader here in the states but she's quite popular in her native brazil and, of course, in japan where they always seem to be one step ahead. lisa ono gives many hawaiian standards like aloha oe & blue hawaii a bossa nova makeover so if you're looking for something different give it a spin.

local boy jack johnson created the music for the recently released curious george soundtrack so if you love jack's songs be sure to pick up a copy of sing-a-longs & lullabies. our cd conveniently stayed in the car after it was purchased and is surely being savored by my other half during his commute. i'll probably have to plan a covert mission à la jack bauer to break it out and sneak the cd back into the house.
