Dead Vagina - Ex-Girlfriends CDR

2012-02-09T00:46:00.001-05:00

Back in 2005 I found this sold at an online record store. Of course I didn't know about Dead Vagina at all though, its name was attractive enough for me to click the button to buy.

Since then I haven't gotten any new information about this band but they are a duo. You can find some footages of their shows on YouTube.

Wives / Kit - Split

2012-02-05T20:27:00.000-05:00

This is one of the releases you have to listen.

Many people now know No Age, but not many know what they used to do. Two of No Age, Dean and Randy, were in an LA based hardcore band Wives and they released some seven inches, including this split, and an LP titled Erect The Youth Problem. Most were from their own label Post Present Medium.

Kit should be known by more people who call themselves big fans of indie music, but unfortunately a lot of people don't know about this amazing band. The guitarist, George, runs Zum, a label has put out many great releases including the reissue of !!!/Out Hud split, and this split seven inch vinyl was co-released with Post Present Medium in 2003.

La Drugs - Self Titled

2012-02-05T09:57:00.003-05:00

I found this LP in the shelf placed in the middle of Kim's Video And Music in East Village, NY in 2004. I loved this instantly but I couldn't get any information about this band La Drugs at that point. One of my favorites Les Georges Leningrad, crazy trash electro punk trio from Montreal, and La Drugs have similarities each other I think. What do you think?

Io - Something Out There

2012-02-05T09:43:00.003-05:00

When I was searching some bands that I would like to release its Japanese edition here in Japan, I found this page by accident and fell in love instantly. Such short crunchy-sound kinda-sixties-flavored pop songs by You Me & Us from California blew my mind. Every single word Carlee Hendrix sings reminds me of something sentimental like I was in high school. Just impressive.

Second one is my friend's part time band Die Shit Q. They joined the band by accident because there was a spot left to play with Comanechi in Hamamatsu. That was really the reason.

Their debut full length had been long awaited since Harsh Realm, Widowspeak's first physical appearance, was out from Captured Tracks in early 2011. Of course it was impossible for me to have any chances to see them playing in Japan, but you can watch it on YouTube wherever you are.

Harsh Realm sounds simple but incredibly dramatic. Now their self titled LP is on my turntable sounding amazing. Every song on it seems to tell me how beautiful and wonderful life is. My life is slightly boring but Widowspeak might prevent me from such stupid thoughts.

This was happened about six weeks ago. When I heard that Vivian Girls would come here again in March or April, I couldn't really believe it. Who knew?

While the last tour in 2009, you know, I organized a show and played with them in Nagoya, then came to two other shows in Tokyo, having good times. The tour seemed to be done well, but it was not enough for them to be invited again I thought.

Two years later, Vivian Girls put out a brilliant full length titled Shared The Joy and it may have helped them get lots of attentions from people who hadn't heard of Vivian Girls before.

I just came to one show in Nagoya this time. It was really humid and hot down stairs. There were over 100 fans packed seeing Vivian Girls and Black Lips playing.

This is the entire show in Nagoya. I almost cried and laughed when Katy was like, "This song is dedicated to Joe." right after they finished Can't Get Over You.

And some pictures I took while Black Lips were playing below.

I've been so much waiting for this since the first time I met them in 2008. The Guest Bedroom was the band I saw the most when I was in Toronto. So stoked.

Last Sunday I went to Tokyo with Sika Sika, actually I followed them a day later though. I met a woman who promoted Vivian Girls tour and released Japanese edition of their second album Everything Goes Wrong. We talked about some things that we concerned about. Then she took me to Warszawa Records to introduce a guy who also worked for the tour to me. Yeah, the record store is one of the best in Japan I think because there are always tons of great noise vinyl that I try to get them from overseas by myself and many unknown bands too. I bought four records there and all of them is good. I'll write about Sisters, one of four I bought.

Sisters - Self Titled

This band sounds really like Sonic Youth, Archers Of Loaf and Dinosaur Jr. Yeah you think what makes me think they are nice, don't you? One of the reasons is they are from Olympia, WA, where Gun Outfit also is from. There are some similarities between them and it must be the things I like. 90s alternative music was really impressive for me when I was in high school and it's kept been brilliant yet. Hmm I don't know what I want to write, so I will say shortly. Sisters are just good even it sounds really like Sonic Youth. That's it.

Hey, so sorry for my laziness and a long absence here. I'd been much busy for weeks and too tired of thinking about too much things getting me exhausted. Anyways, now I can feel kind of free because, yeah, I finished planning Vivian Girls show in Nagoya. The date and place had to be changed by some reasons, I don't want to say about it here though, and it took almost one month! I was going to throw away and break everything that got me annoyed. How many times did I do? No! I couldn't! Everything finally got fixed again. Here you go.

Eat Skull is back with a great shit. Their latest LP Sick To Death was awesome and so was their show with Little Claw at Sneaky Dee's last September. People (or media?) call their sound Shit-Gaze, means Lo-Fi/Low Quality Shoegaze? Either way it's not really important for you when you are going to get their LPs at the record store. Don't hesitate to go straight to the cashier.

There were so much noise on the songs of Sick To Death, which actually made me feel good though, but more pop songs on Wild And Inside, the newest one, instead of the distorted noise. It could make their songs look better, I think. What do you think?

This is one of my best albums in my life, called Klang led by Donna, ex Elastica. They released a 7" and LP/CD, then, I don't know how they've been. But, this album named No Sound Is Heard was really impressive at that time because the sound was totally different from Elastica. Hmm, I can't explain exactly what I think, so you should check out their website, still alive, below.

After a long voyage, the split LP of Teen Anger and Charlie & The Moonhearts came here in my room. It's too long that the time to wait for this LP coming, but it's awesome, needless to say.

Songs of both bands are great, especially Teen Anger, for me. I don't usually listen to bands that play Garage Rock, but there are lots of good ones in Toronto and you can see them everywhere you go. Teen Anger was just the one in the very first time. That was the show with Vivian Girls last August, which was not actually so impressive for me. Then I saw them playing at some shows and liked the sound they sounded. I don't know what made me so though. Before I left Toronto I tried to get their CDR or something like that but all sold out already, so I was going to give up to getting them. But, I saw Telephone Explosion, run by two members of Teen Anger, would release the split LP with Charlie & The Moonhearts. Of course, it was too late to buy one in Toronto. So I asked Jon, who is running the label and the guitarist of Teen Anger, to send the LP to Japan. And now, I have it. Thanks a lot, Jon!

Last night I was in Osaka to see No Age and Telepathe. It's not a good time to go there because most people wear a mask prevent themselves from swine flu, which means you might get sick by horrible flu. But I don't care, so didn't wear any masks.

This is the second Japan tour for No Age, the first was two years ago instead of Hella and Marnie Stern's cancelled shows. There were not many people but they could know who No Age was. Then No Age has become more popular around the world excluding Japan. They might have been worried whether lots of people came, but, actually there were more than the last time. It was an amazing show last night and it might be the last time for me to see them for a while. It's too bad.

Anyways, after the show Dean and Melissa and Busy, both from Telepathe, went to karaoke, of course, I followed them. We sang some songs together, Prince, Ramones, Culture Club, Nirvana, Weezer, Bay City Rollers, etc. It was really fun and I wish the time stopped forever.

Tonight No Age and Telepathe are going to play in Tokyo with Nisennenmondai, one of my favorites in Japan, should be exciting. If you have no plan tonight, you HAVE TO go there seeing them.

A band called Gramme, already broken up before they released their must-have-been great debut album from a label, also great, Output Recordings, was one of the bands I played most when I did dj things. They've been living in and moving my heart. The bass line is totally amazing.

In 1996 a band called Los Cincos released an album full of psychedelic garage songs. Actually, I didn't know them at that time though.

I found the LP in a box where there were tons of cheap vinyl, three for ￥500 (about 5 USD) five years later. The cover was clearly designed to make you think it was a psychedelic band from the past, but it was not really. It sounded really funny for me because I was not familiar with genre like that so much and photos of the members on the back cover made me think so. Their faces on it were weird.

Now that I don't think they are funny and sound really psychedelic, just good. But the third song on the LP called A National Sensation is really cool. It sounds like The Hives plays The Who with The White Stripes, I know this is not a good comparison, Los Cincos is better than the current Stripes.

Anyways, I reconsidered Los Cincos was not supposed to be in a "garbage" box.

Finally I started a band called Vivid Black with Omo,singer of SIKA SIKA from Japan,played with Mika Miko,Death Sentence: PANDA! last year. Now we don't have any songs at all, but will make some up soon then play with a band from US,we really like them,this coming September.

Actually,I was born too late to live when Talulah Gosh played and released constantly.But it's not a big deal.

Since I started my career as a DJ I've often played one of their songs called Steaming Train even it was not the time.I don't remember anyone asked me what song it was when I played,but you should know about them right now if you like Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Dum Dum Girls, etc.

I finally finished editing movies I took last Saturday and burnt it onto DVD-R.There is only a few disks now and then.It's just a private thing for AIDS Wolf and U.S. Girls.But you can obviously watch some parts of it on YouTube,actually I put the very first part up an hour ago.Here you go.

From Olympia,Washington,much known as the place where K Records is located at,new young trio Gun Outfit has come out and purely play their own Lo-Fi sound that would remind you of Dinosaur Jr and Meat Puppets and/or any other bands in 90s.

A few weeks back their debut full length Dim Light was released on PPM,which Dean,No Age,runs constantly.I got it as soon as it was stocked at a record store,unfortunately,I couldn't listen to yet because I have no turntable here in Toronto.So downloading six demo songs on their website,they don't have MySpace,and one song,which will be one of the best songs this year for sure,at SXSW webpage is the only way for me to listen to their songs right now.Those seven songs are perfectly impressive enough to tempt me to the purchase of LP even it's impossible to listen to it here.

Gun Outfit is going to play some shows at SXSW so I must get crazy.

I think there are tons of things to write here before this post,but I can't help myself but do this.

Last night was the second time to see AIDS Wolf in my entire life,it's not long though.

I knew they came to play in Toronto in January after it finished.

Can you guess how mush I regretted???

Anyway,there were 4 bands playing last night and no one played bass!

It might make you think it weird or something wrong there,but you know it must be cool,especially for me.

First band called Heavens played,in my opinion,shoegaze sound added more noise.

The combination of the girl and boy singers were really nice.

Second was Thrashed Genes,I saw them once before,which was a show of The Chinese Stars and An Albatross last October.

I like their sounds,however,nothing special for me,unfortunately.

U.S. Girls was the third,but "I never get ready." she said to me before she got READY.

The show was a beautiful 20-minutes blast.

"I'm going to try to play 15 minutes tonight." she said when I told her that I had heard her show was only 8 minutes,and she did.

The last was,of course,AIDS Wolf.

I can't say anything but amazing.

Audience were moshing violently during the show,it was really fun though.

I just,yes,just enjoyed it and filmed all songs except the third song and took some pictures of the great show.

After the show I talked to Chloe,vocalist of AIDS Wolf,about SXSW,blog things and C.Y.M..

She recognized that I was a person who left a comment on their blog a few weeks back,which made me so glad.

They are going to play 9 shows at SXSW so I'm going to see them at one or more of them for sure.

I'm so excited!!!

Recently I've been making some noise by using GarageBand.

I'd never used it since I got first PowerBook 5 or 6 years ago.

Three members from two Canada based bands I like the most,AIDS Wolf and The Sick Lipstick (R.I.P.),started a new project called C.Y.M.

This news totally blew out my mind this morning.

Chloe (AIDS Wolf) plays guitar and sings/screams,Yannick (AIDS Wolf) hits his lovely partners hard and Mark (The Sick Lipstick) swings the bottom line.

A few years back,breaking-up of The Sick Lipstick made me so sad,of course I've never seen their shows.

Then one other band,Les Georges Leningrad,from Montreal,broke up suddenly,which also made me feel bad.

I think there are tons of great bands/artists in Canada,but information about them don't come overseas oftentimes and neither do bands/artists.

I really wanted to see the shows of Les Georges Leningrad and The Sick Lipstick when I was in Japan.

I should have come here earlier.

This must be true.

But now,AIDS Wolf is still making brilliant pulses of what music and art are between noise and cities.

This can be a hope for the future.

Anyways,C.Y.M. will get their children released out of the dirty crammed room very soon.

They are really different from both AIDS Wolf and The Sick Lipstick but splendid for everyone who hates MTV things.

I know that most of you guys reading this kinda beautiful shit never heard of a band called Shobu.

They probably get more people seeing their live performance by the latest EP,Bodybuilder.

Shobu mainly practice and play somewhere in Tokyo,but the sound is not really Japanese.

Some people might categorize them as Hardcore,on the other hands there must be a lot of Hardcore lovers who criticize them.

Actually,I don't know what Shobu play like.

Monika,playing bass-guitar and singing,talked to me she really liked AIDS Wolf,Night Wounds (R.I.P.),Daughters and The Locust etc. before and she is a friend of Mika Miko,they played together last June as a part of Mika Miko's Japan tour,so they might have affected her creativity.

When you google or just visit Shobu's MySpace,you would think of something you have ever seen and heard,but they are not it.

Veronica,from Finally Punk and The Carrots,might be now one of the enthusiastically hardworking players in the world of the indie music scene.

Mutating Meltdown consists of her and Erin,also from Finally Punk,and Chad,from Zom Zoms,and sounds bit of goth-chic cheap post punk,reminding me of Numbers and Erase Errata and Meho Plaza,all of which are from California,though.

Their debut 7" will be out in January, 2009 from M'lady's Records,releasing Finally Punk already and waiting to come Jenny Hoyston's out of the space.

They hit Toronto twice or more.

Shoegazing,not really,experimental pop duo,No Age,came here again.

It's passed only four months since last time they played at Horseshoe.

It was a terribly humid night and more inside the tiny room for them to play in the historical bar.

There was a crowd of more than 400 people,I guessed,and half of them might have been young kids,under 19.

One young kid talked to me when I was in line to wait for the room opening.

He was like,"Your tee is nice.I like HEALTH,too."

Hey,if I had been in Japan,could I have heard the words like his saying?

Absolutely,NO.

I hope young kids in Japan will change their own style and attitude to everything about music and art and etc.

Anyways,at this time,however,there was no teenager in Lee's Palace.

Why not?

Do you know why No Age called themselves No Age?

Sucks.

I will never go to the place they played on November 21 unless something special to me is planned.

Before No Age played,Silk Flowers,from New York City,and Soft Circle,from Brooklyn,as solo project by Hisham,who used to be in Pixeltan and Black Dice,played as openers of the show.

Silk Flowers' psychedelically freak out synth sound took me to the heaven.

No sooner had I returned to the ground safely than Soft Circle took me higher than the heaven by the layers of the hyper experimental dance music.

I've never seen any shows of Black Dice and Pixeltan and it would be impossible forever,so I was really happy to see him playing.

Staying at the higher place,I saw No Age playing on the stage.

I took many pictures and movies,some of which had already put up to Flickr and YouTube,and danced during the very last three or four songs.

They played some new songs and they were so nice.

If you go to their show,please listen to and see carefully.

After the show,we moved to another place where a guy organized an event as a secret show for No Age to have a chance to play in front of young kids.

It was located on Bathurst street between King street and Richmond street and like a deserted warehouse,actually it reminded me of Death By Audio,Brooklyn,where PWRFL POWER,one of my Japanese friends,played in the end of June.

There was full of people who got drunk and were young except some hicks in the colorless building.

We managed to put some equipments inside,waiting for a band from Toronto started.

They sounded just like Hardcore.

It was fun and their performance was filled with much violent energy,but there was a lack of something special.

After the twenty-minute storm of violence,No Age was going to start playing.

In fact,they played two songs right through.

But the soundsystem there was not good or something happened at the moment,which could throw No Age into trouble.

They tried to recover their own sound,but it seemed so tough,then Dean,singer and drummer,quit singing and Randy,guitarist,played some cover songs.

It could have grabbed hearts of people there shortly.

After all,they couldn't play their own songs,but it was so exciting and they could have had fun,I don't know.

I left there after chatting with Dean and Hisham for a while.

How was your Halloween?

After those crazy parties in the cities in the North America,Finally Punk released their great new seven inch called Hypertension from M'Lady's Records.

I've really been looking forward to it coming out since the song,Hypertension,appeared on their MySpace.

It's so short and might get you hypertension.

Actually,they have never changed their style at all,but the EP is pretty brilliant.

Now they are being ready to go touring around US and UK.

Elizabeth,one of singers in Finally Punk,told me they will be playing at SXSW too.

Yes,it's time to dance all day long!

This is a story about Erase Errata,one of my favorite bands,when I asked Kim from Death Sentence: PANDA! what they had been doing recently.

What she said was just bad although I had expected it.

Although it was unofficially announcement,they might not work any more.

Now Jenny Hoyston,singer and guitarist of Erase Errata,is living in Portland,said Kim.

The rest members of Erase Errata,Bianca and Ellie,are still living in San Francisco,so it is a bit hard for them to take enough time to make new songs and practice them.

Jenny told me that they hadn't had time to meet each other to practice their wonderful songs as the band before touring around Japan when they came there last year.

Before it,she released an incredible album as her own solo project,not Paradice Island,and it could have predict the unfortunate ending.

But their show in Kyoto last December was amazing and the audience got excited apparently.

This YouTube with a terrible sound was taken by me on that day.

The camera was a normal digital one so there was no way at all.

Pass The Crimson is one of my favorite songs Erase Errata played.

This was released as B side of 7" named The Alphabet Single Series U from Tomlab.

Jenny is one of my precious friends,and I will love Erase Errata forever.

I've been to Japan for two weeks and toured between Nagoya and Kobe with Death Sentence: PANDA! for four days.

After seeing them off at Kyoto station,I went back home.

They played at a karaoke studio in Nagoya as an event by Sika Sika,which was my favorite band in Nagoya.

Paul,Clarinet player of Death Sentence: PANDA!,said their sound was like Le Shok after their show.

I told it to Kazutomo,vocalist of Sika Sika,and it made him so surprised and happy because his favorite band was Le Shok.

Please check them out because they might go to the US to play with Death Sentence: PANDA!.

There are two 7 inches which were delivered to my home in Japan a few weeks ago.

Two of them are by The Carrots,from Austin,Texas.

Very 60's poppy sound they play will comfort you and you can't help but dance,even if you are alone.

You can listen to The Carrots' excellent choice of the cover of Breakaway that Tracy Ullman sang.

Now they released two 7 inches,both of which were a little limited and from Elefant Records,located in Spain,and a smash hit.

I think it is a good thing for them,but I'm worried about one thing.

It is about Finally Punk,also from Austin.

If you have a good sense of guessing,you can understand what "also from Austin" means.

Yes,three of The Carrots are Finally Punk.

I love Finally Punk,so if The Carrots went to a long tour around the world,they would not work well.

According to the announce on MySpace,they will tour around UK next summer.

Of course,I won't be able to go there but I'm looking forward to it.

Who knows which will get more famous until then?

OMG.

My favorite avant-toy-pop trio based on San Francisco, Death Sentence: PANDA! is going to hit Japan soon.

Their sound is obviously strange if you never see or listen to them.

Death Sentence: PANDA! doesn't consist of three instruments which are a guitar, a bass guitar and drums, but of course, they have a drummer who hits the drums.

The singer, Kim West, plays flute, saxophone and glockenspiel between the time she doesn't sing.

The drummer, Chris, bangs his drum kit lightly but heavily like a thunder.

There is one more guy, Paul, who plays a pitchshifted clarinet with manipulating a sampler, making the sound like a spell that is a part of a witchcraft.

Can you imagine their magical sound?

You couldn't understand what I mean unless you see or listen to Death Sentence: PANDA! at shows or on YouTube or MySpace, etc.

If you live in Japan,you should be ready to go to their Japan tour.

This must be great.

D E T A I L

This YouTube was recorded at SXSW in March this year, but I didn't see this show because I was in another place to see a brilliant pretty punk quartet, Finally Punk at that time.

The place Death Sentence: PANDA! played was so miserable and poor, but I liked it.

I will be there next March.

An extreme limited debut album of Vivian Girls is finally reissued by In The Red.

I really regretted that I didn't see their show at SXSW in March.

It must have been nice.

I don't know why I didn't go to theirs.

Anyway,this reissue can be one of the happiest things in this year 2008.

Actually I don't listen to many bands after I came to Toronto,but Vivian Girls is one of the most important bands recently.

I guess that you wonder why I recommend them such enthusiastically,but,even I don't know why.

Their kind of shoegazing sound basically doesn't fit me,which is proven by my preference that I don't like most of the bands had played and are playing now.

What is their attraction to me?

Their appearance?

No.

Their personalities?

Yes,but it is not enough to get a perfect approval.

It is just because Vivian Girls play that kind of sound in this moment.

Their style is so similar to No Age and Liars,both of which are also playing a kind of shoegazing.

So I'd really love Vivian Girls to go touring with them.

It'll be delightful and filled with expectations for the next level.

Vancouver's alternative country five-piece Mother Mother finally released their hopeful second album a few weeks ago.

The sound got moderately changed and it became a fantastic result.

Their charms of country style goes back a little,and from 90s to 00s alternative sound,one of my favorite styles because I used to be in the center of the new storm after grunge,could get forward somewhat.

Means there's nothing left to deny their newest one called O My ♡.

Mother Mother is going to kick off their great tour in two or three days.

After playing around some cities in Ontario and Quebec,they come to Toronto,but I won't be here.

To be honest,the fact that Mother Mother exist and make good songs in Canada is one of the reasons I decided to come here.

This is a tragedy.

Anyway,you can enjoy Mother Mother's delightful performance unless you have a wry view.

There was already an announce of the cancellation on some free papers in Toronto,but I didn't know it.

The details about the cancellation was written by Lizzi,singing and playing guitar in the band,on their blog of MySpace.

I hope that she gets better soon.

High Places' first full length called "High Places" is out now.

I have seen their show three times before.

I think their performance is getting better,so is their sounds.

The first show I saw was as a showcase performance for Upset The Rhythm at SXSW 2008,and it was not bad,but less impressive.

High Places came to Toronto with No Age and Abe Vigoda and their performance at that time was awesome.

Audience were all dancing while they were playing,of course I was.

Some of the performances at that night are available on my YouTube channel.

Then,in the beginning of September when I was in New York,they played at East Village Radio Festival.It was outside,in fact their sound fit in it more than inside.

After the show,my friend who had never listened to High Places told me that he really enjoyed it and he will buy their CD.

Yes,High Places has the power which could move people's heart.

So,I would really like many people to listen to their brilliant debut album as soon as possible.
