sex on legs, Tokyo 2008 (right across from Asahi HQ) They vary in quality, but I think they are worth hearing. I'm gonna see tame impala tonight around the corner from my house. an american guy with a big white beard in his 40s described them to me at work the other day as "mystical", i like that. the last artists that were described to me as "mystical" were Prince and Bowie Missy Elliot - The Rain (Douster Tropical Remix) [...]
I should take an entry or two to address how absolutely thick the music scene is here in the Northwest. Whether it's an annual festival like, Sasquatch , Bumbershoot , or even the Capitol Hill Block Party , the centrality of the city alone continues to make Seattle a stop on countless tours... and while the web of venues within these hills seems to attract musicians from across the globe, we've got a plethora of local artists who truly give our city character. Which brings me to the subject of, Grand Hallway , an [...]

Gordon, of course, has coverage of the Razorlight split . And there's only one way to sum up the split of a British band shortly before a gig in Cheshire: Trouble in America... In order to stack up the headline, the made-up, sorry, unnamed source places the argument that "brought things to a head" between Borrell and Burrows as happening "during a recent trip to America". Although if that was true, you might wonder why Burrows didn't quit there and then. Elsewhere, Kylie Minogue is getting a stupid sum of money [...]
A few more days on the Pacific rim..... Rock shows in Nagoya and Tokyo were pretty solid. The crowds tended to be deafeningly silent. Everyone is just so damn polite. Even the coffee cups are pleasant, and rarely have a [...]
I'd forgotten about this until friend Jon was looking for it. I sent it to him, then I forgot again. Now I remembered again. [from Wiki] The Mops were formed in 1966 by a group of high schoolers: Mikiharu Suzuki (drums), Taro Miyuki (guitar), Masaru Hoshi (guitar), & Kaoru Murakami (bass). They began as an instrumental rock group similar to The Ventures, but soon after forming, Mikiharu Suzuki's brother Hiromitsu joined on lead vocals. The group began to play psychedelic rock at the suggestion [...]
This coming weekend (you know we have off on Monday, right?), spend the nights with some of the most amazing live acts and DJs we could think of ever putting together. We didn't do any of the work, so make sure you recognize the abilities of those kids at Mean Red for putting these together. Saturday night is a LOVE takeover with Pink Skull , who we said were "fucking amazing" , along with Romanthony and Hugmode. And Sunday, well, get ready for this one guys, because the crew of Throne Of Blood [...]
Asobi Seksu Breathe Into Glass (from the Me & Mary 7" single) (Polyvinyl) I've dated six Japanese girls before, and each of them was exactly like my six favourite things about Japanese food. The first girl, Hiroko, was exactly like raw salmon. She was orange all over and liked to wear pinstripes. The second girl, Minami, was a lot more like soba noodles. She was long and cold and smelled like soya sauce. After that, I dated [...]
Tonight y'all, the venerable Boy 8 Bit, king of kings when it comes to amazing remixes these days (our opinion, of course) is going to help the kids from Mean Red Productions , who are doing yet another Korrupt party. Dude'll be there alongside Nick Hook and Jubilee, so it should make for a banging night. We'll be there dancing our way until tomorrow, shooting (we think) a mugshot-style photo booth. DJs: Boy 8 Bit (Mad Decent) Nick Hook (Sports, Cubic Zirconia) [...]
It's been a while since I've been the youngest person at a rock show, so this gig was rather special for me. Paying $9 for an Asahi was a sure sign that I'm a real old person now - fortunately I was prevented from any further financial stupidity by the massing hordes of Reels fans refusing to let me get back to the bar. I was never into the Reels when they were big - I was too young (I had my

We go nice and early because it's supposed to have a 10pm curfew but this turns out to be incorrect information. So we're in plenty of time to catch all three bands. They are a three piece called The Sugars. To me, they look and sound like a harder version of the Raveonettes. They also have quite an American sound, although they are actually from Leeds. As their set runs out of time they enquire as to whether they've got time for one more. In the end they cheekily slot in two back to back. Not bad. [...]
