I was delightfully surprised to hear Spank Rock was playing Bushwick's Bodega yesterday along with Brooklyn's Japanther and Ninjasonik , especially since it's so closeby my apartment. It was the typical crowd of sweaty, shirtless guys, girls with messy hair and a cloud of smoke floating right above. All sets were pretty short, but high on the energy scale. I found myself in the middle of the crowd moshing out, getting my drinks spilled all over whilst trying to protect my poor Olympus. Was a fun Wednesday night I'd say! Check out Spank [...]
Holy shit! Once again the Bodega comes through with the party of the night. The lineup is crazy, the venue is awesome, and the beer is free. There's other shit happening tonight but I'm not sure why you would go anywhere else. Japanther, Ninjasonik, Spank Rock, & Totally Michael@ Bodega8PM$6
Japanther - Radical Businessman (mp3) You're locked out, I'm shut in, lashing out and cashing in. ______________________________ ____________ * Bonfire in Jerusalem by Reuters Pictures (2008) * Riot in Rosengård, Sweden (2008) * Radical Businessman by Japanther (2008)
death Ok, so life is amazing. You Move out, get poor, starve, break up with girl friend, develop multiple addictions 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 , get a fixed gear bike, make very good friends with street rats, join a bike gang, loose internet and then die. I havent posted for 2 month but who cares. I kind of feel like i'm being fucked over at the moment and not in the loop of things music wise because of the lack of net. However, i haven't had to listen to a "new cutcopy [...]

Love More (<3) Yo! Majesty - Kryptonite Pussy Wow. This fine lady has ... well she hasn't exactly turned the tables, but she certainly came out of no where (as far as I'm considered). Remarkably she's a bit of a misogynist. See, Yo! likes the ladies, so her songs are kind of like the songs by male hip-hopper counterparts, except with a woman saying those things. It's a little off putting, and I don't really know what to think about it, but I'm [...]

Music, beer and bud(s) does the body good, so tonight we're celebrating individuality in Downtown LA with our best bros Ninjasonik and extending the invites to our good pals Japanther , Lucky Dragons , Blackblack , and Funeral Party . Japanther and Ninjasonik have never been done in this setting before and it gives me the greatest pleasure to throw some sweet locals into the mix, namely Lucky Dragons whom I have the highest affection. For their Whitney Biennial bio and a review of Dream Island Laughing Language by yours truly, head [...]
A collection of excellent bands are playing THE FMLY blog's party tonight at Enjoy Human (downtown). Every party they put together is generally well-thought out and interesting and worth the trip. alt=rss
One last thing before I get back to homework: GO GET JAPANTHER 'S NEW ALBUM !!!! It's ... so freaking awesome. You'll hear hella bunches about it in my wrap up at the end of the year (creeping up on me here), but I need you to know that it rocks my boat's t-shirt. It's so jam packed with wickedness that your CRASS grandmother will hate you for it. (did you see what I did there? if not, after you hear the album you'll know what I was talking about)
I've got some tickets to give away for the Japanther / Ninjasonik / Lucky Dragons / BlackBlack / Funeral Party show this Saturday at Enjoy Human [ Map ]. To win these tickets, email me [dukeufo at gmail] with your first and last name. The first two responses will win. Please put "Japanther" in the subject line.
Skuffed Up My Huffy , Japanther 's 2007 album, is probably one of my favorite albums ever. Like the movie 300 or the Adult Swim cartoon Spaceghost Coast to Coast , Skuffed Up My Huffy was awesome simply because it was awesome. Its lo-fi production perfectly suited the drums-bass-synth-vocals get-up of Japanther and the campy little sound clips throughout made the album a beautiful pop-culture pastiche encompassing everything awesome about indie rock, lo-fi cassette culture (it lives on!...sorta…) and Brooklyn. Tut Tut Now Shake Ya Butt [...]
just thought i'd show you that not all the songs are about ill-fitting pants. some are just about art school girls. staybad motherfucker. 12/5 temporary spaces. ninjasonik/japanther
STAYBAD. And STAY Tuned for more info! But see ya'll there! Ninjasonik "Tights Pants" and "Negative Thinking About Tight Pants"
Here's a three-fer, because I'm on a roll, and because the last two Japanther tracks I put up disappeared. And because I'm on a garage rock kick thanks to the Ooga Boogas, and because The Muslims and Yussuf Jerusalem are answering that call right now. And because people need new things to listen to. And because I enjoy answering that call. The Muslims originate from San Diego. It's a beautiful place. These dudes will probably be huge before long, because this stuff is dope. Get your copy now , otherwise it will be sold [...]
Armm n' Hammer, together forever (taken today at a local cemetery) How come it seems like every time I sit down to watch a movie lately, the plot revolves around some kind of torture. A few weeks ago it was The Devil's Rejects , and tonight it was Hard Candy . I come away from these movies feeling like a deranged lunatic for having sat through an hour or two of complete-fucking-torture. Jack and Ken stopped by tonight, as the Philadelphia Phillies -- the losingest franchise in sports history -- finally stopped sucking long [...]
