| 12:00pm | Japanator Radio 96 | | | | I'm glad to see that we all survived another week. As a reward for our perseverance, I reward us all with this new episode of Japanator Radio! This week, new music from The Telephones, Mouse on the Keys and Perfume, as well as a look at the solo music from Buck-Tick's super sex-tastic lead singer Atsushi... |
| 1:34am | Videos of the Week - 7/19/09 | | | | Better late than never, right? Right?! With that in mind, let's jump right to the videosThe Telephones "Monkey Discooooooo"New music from The Telephones. This video reminds be a little of the Vola and the Oriental Machine clip I posted last week. This one isn't quite as awesome as the Vola vid, but it's... |
| 12:00pm | Japanator Radio 95 | | | | Welcome the Best Japanese Albums of 2009, Japanator Radio edition! Just in case you missed, we recently took a look back at the last six (or so) months of Japanese releases, compiling them into two separate lists. The list on Japanator was a little bit pop, the one on here on my blog was a little bit... |
| 1:00pm | Videos of the Week - 7/12/09 | | | | Well, looks like this is quickly turning into little more than a video blog! I assure you, I'm doing all I can to get be to some sort of normal schedule. But until then, hey! More videos!Perfume - "I Still Love U"[UPDATE: Shoot, looks like it was already taken down. Well, just imagine one shot on a white... |
| 2:00pm | The Best Japanese Albums of 2009 - Part 1 | | | | We have hit the half-way mark on 2009 (well OK, we've gone well past it, but still) so that can only mean one thing. Time to take the first look back at the best Japanese albums of the first half of 2009!This year, I'm trying something a little different than the past two. Instead of posting one giant... |
| 12:00pm | Japanator Radio 94 | | | | I must admit, some weeks I just let the random shuffle machine put together the show. Oh sure, I'll shift things around a bit to make it a little more listener friendly, but let me tell you, when in doubt, shuffle is an awesome thing to have around. I guess what I'm saying is that this isn't always... | | |
| 6:00pm | Videos of the Week 7-6-09 - Supplemental | | | | OK, I had just set the previous Videos of the Week post to go live when Jonathan Coulton (who is featured in that post) tweeted this:@jonathancoulton Amazing video, 64 fans on webcams: http://bit.ly/o9Rcp (via waxy.org)It all seemed too coincidental, so I just had to post it here as well. Oh, and it... |
| 3:33pm | Videos of the Week 7-5-09 | | | | First off, sorry for the marked lack of updates this week. A combination of work ramping up at, er, work, and some very nice summer days have made it tough to want to sit around inside. I know it goes against the blogger code or something to want to actually spend time in the sun,. but I think I make... |
| 12:00pm | Japanator Radio 93 | | | | Back again with lucky show number 93! I'm glad we all survived through that harrowing, evil number 92 to find ourselves here enjoying the blissful calm of 93. This week, so much new music. New Gackt, new Versailles, new Perfume and some Lillies and Remains in the Artist Spotlight. And so much... |
| 3:30pm | Videos of the Week 6-28-09 | | | | If you've spent any time on this blog, you know that I'm not a huge fan of pop music. But I must admit that I have a pretty big soft spot for Perfume. I really liked them right from the start, and have been following them ever since. Most of their music sounds very "same-y" lately, but their newest "Night... |
| 1:00pm | Mouse on the Keys | | | | Little is known about the mysterious trio that goes by the name of Mouse on the Keys. Even their official website is just a simple re-direct to their sparsely populated MySpace page. We know their names, Akira Kawasaki (drums, keyboards, piano and of Nine Days Wonder) Atsushi Kiyota (keyboard, piano)... |
| 2:18pm | Mirco-Review: Polysics - Young OH! OH! | | | | Just got the new Polysics single Young OH! OH! today. I managed to get the DVD version, and I am damn glad I did! The DVD is 11 live songs from a show at Club Quattro from April of 2009. The chosen songs are mostly from their older catalog, stuff like "Bye Bye Red Sneaker" and "Which!," but that also... |
| 2:15pm | Ogre You Asshole | | | | Don't let the outrageous name fool you. If you could distill unassuming, twee feelings into sonic form, you might have something closely resembling Ogre You Asshole.Formed around 2004, the gentle indie rock foursome has released a slew of equally modest singles, mini-albums and just-barely-full-length... |
