L U L L A B Y

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.

Anyways,I found it was possible to make kind of a DJ thing by GarageBand and some applications.
Yeah,I made a sort of mixtape,not a real one though,for a DJ party called Lullaby that my friend organized and I will dj there on April 5.
Songs in it are listed below.

Handsome Furs - I'm Confused
Blank Dogs - Blaring Speeches
Crocodiles - Soft Skull (In My Room)
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Young Adult Friction

The Besties - The Bone Valley Deposit
The Carrots - Break Away
Crystal Stilts - The Sinking
The Splinters - Ch-Ch-Ch-Cha
Finally Punk - Hypertension

Mutating Meltdown - Raised By A Pack Of TVs
Gun Outfit - Your Will

A I D S W O L F + T H E S I C K L I P S T I C K

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.
