Willy Porter + a little estrogen = wonderful new CD
Willy Porter's seventh release officially hits today. It, like many of Porter's discs and songs, captures life. From the funny marriage melody, "I Didn't Bring it Up" (co-written with Paul Cebar), to the self portrait, "Too Big to Sell," it's a disc full of styles, forms and probably -- most importantly -- a little estrogen.

It's getting colder outside and our thoughts -- at least according to this edition of OMC Recommends -- have turned to food. Soup, bread, salmon burgers... Dig in!
