### Updates

A disrupted week, the light cold I thought I had last weekend turned into a bit more of a issue than I thought, and I had to take rare day off work. 

Spending the weekend with some friends in Cork, so a shorter weeknote than usual. 

**Reading**: Confessions of an Irish Rebel by Brendan Behan. 

### Recommended Music

My musical recommendation this week is INSOMNIA, not by Faithless but by Japanese composer Takahiro Kido. Kido is a member of Japanese soundtrack artists Anoice and this collection doesn't stray too far. 

 INSOMNIA tries to put the feeling of being awake into music, with neo-classical and ambient sounds. It's a beautiful album that deserves a listen on some great headphones. 

Highly recommended. 

### Listened Stuff

Here's ten artists I have listened to this week. 

- Takahiro Kido
- Siavash Amini
- Richard Hornsby
- Will de Burca
- Erland Cooper
- Mogwai
- Harmonia
- Dirty Three
- The Prongs
- Goldffrapp
