The Merry Swankster recently had a sit-down with Jason Drake of Cassettes Won’t Listen. He’s booked on the headlining slot this coming Tuesday at the Delancey for the next installment of the insta-hit, NYC Beg Yr Pardon* party. You would never know from listening to the idiosyncratic blend of indie rock and electronica, but Cassettes Won’t Listen as a band is actually a one man project helmed by Jason Drake. * For you geeks that like to match a face to your blogger, MS.com’s own Jeff Klingman will [...]

Most Pitchfork fans have a sort of love-hate relationship with the organization. People resent the across the board filtering of all music, and resent it even more when they find out about most of their favorite music from them. Everyone wants to find the good stuff on their own so they can claim it as such. Then theres the jargon filled and totally pretentious writing style. Its the whole "who do they think they are acting like they know everything?" Well the thing is, its one of the best services I've ever used in my [...]
Asobi Seksu is preparing to hit the road for what will be the most extensive tour the band has undertaken thus far - including, for the first time, Canadian as well as American dates. The band will be playing songs from both of their albums, as well as a number of excellent new songs. More dates will be announced shortly, but in the meantime here's the itinerary as it now stands: Thu. Sept. 14: Boston, MA Tufts University Fri. Sept. 15: Ithaca, NY Cornell University Sat. Sept. 16: Buffalo, NY Soundlab Sun. Sept. 17: Ottawa, [...]
Wow. Where to start. I saw so many good bands in NYC this Sunday, I guess I'll just go from first to last. Asobi Seksu @ McCarren Pool. First of all, I want to say that I have never been to Williamsburg, BK before. I didn't know there was any reason for me to go. Combined with all the bullsh*t I hear about "the fukcin hipsters" over there, I decided I didn't ever need to take the L train over. My [...]

The problem with keeping up with all of the good music blogs out there is that it produces way too much music to be absorbed, or even tried (is this my theme for the week--too much music?). Some things that the blogosphere adores I never try, like Asobi Seksu's new CD "Citrus," which everyone I read loves , or only try a month later, like Ladyhawk . Always makes me wonder what the actual elements are that get me to listen to something. I still don't know what [...]
This week I'm leaving for Chicago, but that doesn't mean that my friends here in New York will be without some great tunes all week long. It's actually a really good week in New York for live music so each of these picks has been made while opting over some other great performer. Make sure you check out the other places you check for live music this week so you don't miss out. Anyway, here's my picks for the week!!! Monday: I'm torn, on one hand you can see the African sensation that is Konono No. 1 at [...]
Beautiful People III: papier aquarelle 25x25cm by Gabriele A little more than a month ago I asked for your comments to help me make a list of favorite songs and albums from the first half of this gigantic year (I know a year can't be gigantic, they're all the same length, I know, get over it). This whole thing has gotten me thinking about the difference [...]
Ok, this post is wayyy overdue. When Asobi Seksu (Japanese for “Playful Sexâ€) came out with their new album, Citrus, I told myself I would have to put up my favorite J-pop-ish-dream- rockish-shoegazer-ish song, “I’m Happy But You Don’t Like Me.†So it’s been well over a month since the album release, and here I am, late and not up on my game putting up songs a lot of people
This week appears like it will be a little bit lighter than the past couple of weeks and the next couple of weeks in the New York music scene. There's fewer top releases this week, fewer shows, and I think that's fairly good news for me. Last week was crazy, next week promises to be crazy, and I just need a little break in between the craziness of it all. That said, there are still some shows every day that you should know about. Here's what they are. Monday: I was never a massive Get Up Kids fan, [...]
Playful sex, you say? How about Asobi Seksu , which is the Japanese translation for one of society’s favorite pastimes. I’ve been listening to this NYC outfit’s second album, Citrus , all week and have yet to grow tired of it. Fusing waves of feedback a’la the Jesus & Mary Chain with synth-driven pop melodies, Asobi Seksu show no signs of the “sophmore slump†as they release an album that not only contains the sound they successfully created on their debut but expands on it as well. Here are Ditching Boy’s favorites [...]
We would like to introduce you to Asobi Seksu . When we kicked back, threw on the headphones, and listened to this artist we thought "I got nothin' besides these 5 tracks to keep me going." What did you think? Use a tag or comment to share your thoughts with everyone. Enjoy. Genre: Rock-Pop-Folk Label: Friendly Fire Recordings Source: Hype Machine [...]

Asobi Seksu (which is colloquial Japanese for playful sex ) is beginning to build some serious momentum thanks to the magic of the blogosphere. I am totally flipping out over the band right now, and I hope I can help a few more people to do the same. If you like the idea of kicking it like it was 1991 shoegazer style, with some great female vocals (in both English and Japanese) I highly encourage you to take a listen and buy a copy of Citrus download New Years [...]
Shoegazing In '06 Asobi Seksu means playful sex in Japanese. It is also the name of a hipster band from NYC. They are fronted by Japanese singer Yuki, who sings in both English and Japanese as well as playing keyboards. The music they whip up is pure shoegazer rock. Yes, you can draw comparisons to the classic bands of the genre - the raging squall of My Bloody Valentine, the poppier side of Lush
