something different

While I sit here wallowing in misery, having trod on a nail in the garden then later in the afternoon I had a tooth extracted (aching at both ends), I thought I might share a new discovery (new for me anyway).
Jelonek by Michal Jelonek is a strange mix of violin driven rock from Poland, it’s very difficult to find out more about this chap as all the articles on the internet seem to be in polish.
I put the album to the three tests, the cycling test, the cooking test and the bathing test.
The cycling test- here I thought the changing pace of the album would be a problem, starting fast and then dropping off, but after five miles I was quite glad of the slowdown, just long enough to get it together before the pace picked up, only complaint was that it did not last long enough to get my home again (though I was out for two hours) – overall a good cycling album 9/10
The cooking test- I like to listen to music when I cook, its one of the few occasions I can listen to music and ignore the moans of other family members, when I cook I am god, anyone who comes into the kitchen had better tread carefully. Jelonek is not the best cooking album going, its ok but its not great, you can do a Sunday roast to it but breakfast and lunch just don’t work. So cooking gets 5/10
The bathing test- this involves nothing more than lying in a hot bath with a glass of something and listening to the music on an mp3 player, I think this is what did for my last two mp3 players. Again this is an ok album for chilling in the bath too, not great but not bad but it gets a bit boring after a while just doing nothing and listening to it so for bathing it gets 5/10

Overall 6.3/10
