AUTHENTIC JAMS

So I've had a really crazy year. yet again. More to come and more to explain. Sometime in the summer, I will be back to recording this amateur podcast thing.

Enjoy this song titled "It Evaporates" by TV Girl and check out their free album download on bandcamp: http://tvgirl.bandcamp.com/

As noted by breadhanded via tumblr music reviews:

"The late 1950’s into the early 1960’s were a very interesting time in music, because while there were certainly artists looking to express themselves, music was first and foremost a product, something to be constructed and then sold to the public. While it is easy to look at such construction as soulless, this period gave us some of the best hooks and melodies ever known. Perhaps when someone removes opinions from music and just focuses on construction, great music is to be had.

I think this is why I like TV Girl so much; their combination of doo wop-era samples and a modern perspective make for an irresistible listen. They keep putting out gold, and if you liked “Misery”, head over to their Bandcamp for their recently released mixtape, The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle. As always, enjoy."

Been super busy without internet until now... but now I am back online and getting really in the swing of things. Still recovering from nasal congestion and this head cold from last week, but should get an episode up here soon. I know ya'll don't like these empty promises of more things to come. But I'm always running around so it takes me a little more to stop for a sec.

This SSS no. 24 (SSS stands for short song segment): Lou Reed's "Perfect Day"

Enjoy + disclaimer about sampling purposes only, please support artists online through iTunes, Amazon, etc.

so hey um my mix is delayed. sorry guys, but here's a nice classic.

THIS SSS: Alone Again ~by Biz Markie
- a cover of Gilbert Sullivan's Alone Again, hip hop style.

*sampling purposes only, please support the artists at Itunes, Amazon, etc.

so i've been listening to some great music. i just need to make a great mix for NYE! for your rocking parties or w/e you plan to do that evening.

THIS SSS: Every Glance by Jack Peñate
i've been listening to beats across the pond. they are pretty fresh. enjoy this one, as a teaser of sorts from my New Year's Eve Mix.

Music vid for Tonight's Today:

enjoy the winter break. please support the artists through Amazon, Itunes, etc. *sampling purposes only*

so Strength is getting really big.... or I predict this to be so. I highly recommend you check this disco rock band out right NOW.

THIS SSS: Metal ~by Strength

http://www.communitydisco.com/

So sorry for not making an update, let alone an episode. I had time this weekend to do so, but chose to sleep and drink some cider instead. :C

I assure you that my playlist is flamin' hot right now with jams. Here's a taste...
THIS SSS: Pivotal ~by Rai Knight
sooo this girl is from the D, sounds like an R&B return to Gwen Stefani style pop. I'm usually not a pop listening person, but this is catchy.

no, i'm not dead. i just decided to chill out in the summer.
I will post an episode celebrating the end of summer soon, and keep you posted on stuff as the school year goes on... hopefully. 18 credits is hella crazy.

THIS SSS no. 19: Kiara ~by Bonobo
------> on my main biking soundtrack.

finally i update this again...

i have been enjoying the summer and making mixcds for people i love. i think i might upload one of the playlists... seriously good jams!

THIS SSS: Where is the problem ~by Dunian
-----> summer is close to ending but this song is sooo great for the party, "where is the problem?" enjoy it while it lasts.

Dunian is super recent, and you can get the EP here: http://www.notnkansas.com/2010/07/dunian-ep.html

apparently this is my 100th post! too bad I run 3 types of episodes on here sporadically and don't care about numbers, just content. I think that this is a good thing.

anyway, this is just a heads up that I'll fill you what's going on in the next couple weeks, and you will see a revamp of the last full episode "ALT MUSIC no. 18" along with an "ALT no. 19". get ready for some great stuff and a summer mix cd (this is for you, Sebastian).

THIS SSS: if you want ~by Tom Vek

i need to watch some old kungfu movies again. and more Jackie Chan (he sings too!). here is a stunts clip with Jackie's Japanese cover song:

so i just realized that i somehow managed to buy a ticket for Ok Go for tomorrow night. if you're in the Midtown Detroit area and would like an affordable music show, they are playing this April 22, Thursday @ 9:00pm for $15 at the Magic Stick.

besides that, i just listen to a lot of electro stuff. and i turned 19! i can now go drink in Canada if i wanted to do so.

THIS SSS: At A Glance ~by Body Language(Toro y Moi Remix)
-----> i was too busy earlier in the month to see Washed Out and Small Black, but i will get pretty good report at the next venue. this summer calls for more music shows and some good eats.

if you are interested in this, I have an artblog now to chart my projects at CCS. see some stuff @ http://magicdanish.blogspot.com/

so i realize that the last episode had some audio sync issues in the beginning voiceover, namely, you couldn't hear anything i was saying. D: i am fixing this pronto.

in the meantime, here's some news (music-wise via musicforants.com and stereogum):
http://musicforants.com/blog/?p=4529 (Mates of State's Crushes cover album)
http://stereogum.com/enjoyed/ (stereogum's tribute to Bjork's Post)
http://stereogum.com/329771/broken-social-scene-tease-forgiveness-on-youtube/house300/?utm_source=ha&utm_medium=300 (Broken Social Scene's youtube teasers for Forgiveness Rock Record)

interesting take on She & Him (and the mainstream indie market):
http://altreport.hipsterrunoff.com/2010/04/she-him-continue-awkward-snoozefest-late-night-tour-on-jimmy-kimmel.html
she does look really crazy (stare off in the distance) in a couple moments. i think her "old people" music is fine, but i would say that the "old people" did it right the first time. MO-TOWN all the way.

THIS SSS: Second Lives ~by Vitalic from the album Flashmob. I also enjoy the Lifelike Remix version.

the weather is mighty fine so I am making an upbeat episode to start this month off right!
i apologize if i sound a bit congested... it's 'cause i am. :c sinus infection or allergies or w/e is just evil as the weather gets warmer.

THIS EPISODE: Century Ball and etc
-----> Just filling in on my escapades since spring break ended.

here is a song for great weather and great parties...
THIS SSS: Hot Lips ~by pacific!

stay tuned this weekend for a new episode feat. Phantogram and The xx !

so this is kind of random. but the song is very good and so is horchata!!!!! i want this as a smoothie flavor.

THIS SSS: Horchata ~by Vampire Weekend
------> a new song from Vampire Weekend that is available for download on their website! http://www.vampireweekend.com/horchata/
actually its been around for awhile... i just felt like posting it up. i've been listening to more old stuff like Fleet Foxes and Stevie Wonder. a little Billie Holiday as well.

The new She & Him album is dropping on March 23rd! Check out NPR for "Volume Two" album listen before it comes out! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124615798&ft=1&f=1039

THIS SSS: This Is Not A Test ~by She & Him
------> a great song. and the weather today was great as well.

trying to be more consistent with updating at least twice a month. These Short Snack Songs are limited time only downloads, so expect fresh stuff at least once every 2 weeks.

THIS SSS: killin time before my art history paper is going to kill me. :C
------> so apparently my current music rotation fits into what is coming up as "Chillwave".... well i've been into www.discoworkout.com since last year soo i guess i'm right on track? hahaha Been listening to some Tears For Fears as well.

THE SONG: My Touch ~by Toro y Moi
yes, Chaz is cute.

I will probably be at Washed Out or Ok Go's show since I am low on $$. :C
But I highly recommend any of these events (especially Devotchka, Craig Ferguson, She & Him)!

so its been 10 months since my last episode. my bad... D: schoolwork at CCS happened.
currently, I am on "spring break" and decided to stay in the D (yeah!) to work on stuff for my classes. yes. that is wonderful. My cell phone is also missing (been 3 days now *cries*). wonderful, i know.
Onward with the show!

THIS EPISODE: I talk about my Wednesday night and etc since break started.
------> as seen in my last update, I went to a concert @ the Magic Stick. Oh the convenience of living 15-20 mins away from The Majestic Theatre in the D. Evidence in the photo on right! Totally there. Srsly. okay, enough preteen chat-speak for me.

THIS SSS: Come Together ~by PNAU
-----> i wish i could see PNAU in concert. Such great party music. Art is also coming along, slowly. i am sooo busy all the time!

THIS SSS: In Addition ~by Tenderlions

had a great time in china and etc, but also packing and chilling with peeps in town before i leave.

THIS SSS: Rich Doors ~by New Villager
---------> so catchy. and a great song to return with. I will probably get a new episode out sometime next week, so bear with me until then with this SSS.

since i'm off to china for a month visiting relatives, thought i'd leave you with a nice song that fits the mood...at least the title does, anyway. :/

THIS SSS: Summertime Flight ~by Fonda
-------> a month long hiatus SSS for my fans, if such exist outside my mind. probably not. I plan to get a mic soon, I get back in August. don't miss me too much...

had a great 4th of july and this video made me chuckle.

another SSS while you wait, brought to you with the notification of iLike app on facebook (seriously that thing keeps me on top of my game when it comes to album releases, similar artists, unsigned, etc)

again, i'm waiting to get a new mic, so here's another SSS. I am so excited for dorm furnishing time.

THIS SSS: Airplanes ~by Adron
------> a pretty mellow song, perfect for the beach. reminds me of pan-am bags back in the day and the Brazilian coasts. Adron is a 20 year old singer/songwriter from Georgia and currently resides in New York. catch more info on The Hype Machine and etc.

again, I have some microphone troubles, so an offical episode is put on hold until further notice.

THIS SSS: Sunlight ~by The Harlem Shakes
------> I forgot to mention that The Harlem Shakes were also on tour with Passion Pit, mainly because I'm not a huge THS listener. But I do have a few songs by them, and they are ace.

also, due to not caring, I didn't realized that Calvin Harris has had a new single out for over 2 months. my bad. I was supposed to be on top of that. here is the music video:

so since I lost count of the Short Snack Songs I've posted, I'll just start numbering off from w/e.

THIS SSS: Timebomb ~by Beck
enjoy, it's pretty catchy coming from a scientologist (seriously, why?).

I just got back from a Passion Pit concert; it was epic, will fill ya'll in tomorrow along with a new episode of ALT MUSIC (no. 17) that features Passion Pit (they are on tour right now!). sooo tired and sweaty- it's like 2:07 am, peace out! for anyone who still checks this thing, prepare for awesomeness on sunday....[ I sorta slept/passed out on sunday so new episode MOVED TO MONDAY!- CORRECTION, episode delayed until mic is fixed. :C ]

and just so you get a taste of what I went through on saturday:

I dunno how many of these Short Snack Songs I've done, honestly. I got back from a concert and I'm still hard-wired from Java Monster- a tasty faux frappacino with some intense "wakeywakey" stuff that will probably make me have a heart attack if I chug them.

so to appease caffeinated-me to do something tonight before I topple over, here's a song from the upcoming Grizzly Bear album...more on that later (sunday discussion time):
THIS SONG: Two Weeks ~by Grizzly Bear
------> this is a strong indication that I will have to give their whole album a listen when it legitimately comes out.

UPDATE: i have found info on Citadels; they are from the UK and are considered powerpop.

sorry for the 3 month hiatus, when you listen to this episode, you will understand why i was busy. and a bit depressing in my tone. i apologize for another mellow episode, the next one will be upbeat. also, i realize i sound very strained- my voice was hoarse. D:

THIS PODCAST: getting back on track
--------> so my life was turned upside and there was dice in the mirror. do the Carlton!* this is a warmup episode for me to get into the groove of muzaks.
* Fresh Prince of Belair, anyone? i love that show.
THE LINEUP:
Animals ~by Citadels
Mind Idea ~by Jeremy Enigk
Australia ~by The Shins
Melody Day ~by Caribou

soooo i'm sorta back. not really, but sorta here.
expect another episode soon.

THIS PODCAST: some more chill music for colder days.

much awaited, i hope?

i told you this was going to be a sweet episode. sorry that it took this long to update. again. ;_; i wish i had a radio job. one that paid.

THIS PODCAST: some mixed up playlist of mine
------> unlike some teens that i know in school who try to diversify their musical tastes, i am not going to see "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". i saw "Juno" and that is good enough for me. and i will probably go see "Blindness" instead or "Choke". beat that beeches.
THE LINEUP:
Good Life ft. T-Pain ~by Kanye West
Fa-Fa-Fa ~by Datarock
Let It All Go ~by Jay Reatard
DVNO ~by Justice

(sorry that the lineup i quoted was mixed up, and that my last bit was cut off- i was just saying that i am willing to advertise if you have a soundbite that is within 30 seconds, email or comment if you're interested)

hey! this is a shoutout to the cool rep at smfa (School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). you reminded me of Band of Horses. but i don't know your name so please email me or leave a comment or something.
[EDIT]:
Thank you for the postcard, SMFA Rep Todd White! It has been graciously received and I look forward to communicating with SMFA soon!

and here's an album to check out this fall:

Shiny Toy Guns has a new album available for pre-order.
Season of Poison
Release Date: November 04, 2008

i know. i was pretty excited.

the next episode is probably a hodgepodge of atmospheric music....... i also take some requests!
[EDIT]:
the next episode is a bit more upbeat. just 'cause i feel REALLY BAD ABOUT NOT UPDATING THIS PODCAST. being academically strong senior is hard. and marching band makes it harder. :S

i was supposed to have this updated on monday, but Firefox and Podomatic were not getting along. so it's here on wednesday, and i hope you enjoy it.

THIS PODCAST: i discuss late summer releases!
------> Sigur Rós had a album out in july and i enjoyed it immensely. it might not be your cup o' tea since they sing mostly in Icelandic and have an atmospheric vibe, but they are talented (check out "Heima" on youtube if its still there). The other band i've listened to is PAS/CAL from Detroit Michigan, who had a debut album recently so its very fresh and catchy. with 7 people, you sorta have to be (Broken Social Scene has more peeps, but they have a solo artist as well).
THE LINEUP:
Oh Honey We're Ridiculous ~by PAS/CAL
You Were Too Old For Me ~by PAS/CAL
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur (Within me a lunatic sings)~by Sigur Rós
Gobbledigook ~by Sigur Rós

another episode, posted early this time since i'm going to be out this weekend. i get a little weird at the end of this one...

THIS PODCAST: mates of state/ nada surf
-------> i think i will love the Pixies forever. even if they are no longer. and the many cover bands/tribute songs that result...even Weezer has done a cover of them. anyway, nada surf is awesome. and mates of state is a great companion sing-along.
THE LINEUP:
For The Actor
Goods
See These Bones
What Is Your Secret?

my apologies for posting one of the songs again, but i really liked it... so there! and this episode is 31 mins...i should put a time limit on these since this episode took way too long to upload.
hope you guys have a great spring break!!!! i'll be jiving as much as i can without losing my mind. :S

THIS PODCAST: ghettoblasting tunes...
--------->as most of you listeners know, i haven't posted an episode in over a month and i'm terribly sorry for that. but i have been working on my life, getting ready to be a senior...XD i don't even have prom stuff ready, i'm so busy with schoolstuff/winterguard. in fact, this weekend, i have an overnight competition in Indianapolis. and i've been watching Mission Hill, Clone High, etc on youtube.

this was longer than a usual request because i had to get a new program for files.

THIS PODCAST: female VK and jrock artists

THIS PODCAST: Jigoku Shoujo and the soundtrack of goodness

THIS PODCAST: Lovely Complex
--------->also known as ラブ★コン(Rabu Kon), this is a great comedy shojo series. seriously, i really like it. is it 'cause it deals with people who

THIS PODCAST:
---------> Apparat is another electronica artist that i like long with MIA and IAMX. i'm generally open to all sorts of music, as long as they are not ridiculously crass. and for this episode, it is all pretty mild in terms of language. it is rich in tones- so have a cup of joe and settle in. my voice isn't too annoying, right? :B

so i'm back from band camp! sorry for being late in posting this episode, but i was away for a week in 100 degree weather, marching outside. and i have homework. :S

THIS PODCAST: FLCL and the pillows
--------> i've listened to the pillows since i watched FLCL, which was about 2-3 years ago. and they are awesome. so for people who still haven't seen this anime, i highly recommend it for crazy fun times. the manga is just really eye candy, with even more confusing plot, so reading it is optional (to me, anyway).

so here's an anime insert that i promised to make. and another one will come after this. ^_^

THIS PODCAST: Romeo x Juliet vs. Darker than Black
---------> Darker than Black pwns Romeo x Juliet. just for its music alone. XD but seriously, they are both very action-packed animes that ya'll should check out. and my voice is better today. yesterday, my allergies were annoying the heck outta me.
THE LINEUP:

hey everybody, i'm back with some updates. things are going slow and very tedious for me (0_0) but i will be making more episodes. i'm off to away band camp this week. XD

THIS PODCAST: るう"いえ (Luvie) songs
--------> i listen to them sometimes and they are gaining more popularity, though when i first discovered them, there was little known about them. now, they are pretty successful and i hope you'll enjoy them too.

some more music i have for you guys. i'm trying to be more orderly. really. XD

THIS PODCAST: recent albums and stuff.
----------->i surf lots of music blogs and stuff to find some interesting music to listen to. and that carries onto this podcast when i like to post some of it. so if you would like suggest something or comment on something, don't hesitate. i will try to get back to you. Blonde Redhead's 23 album is kinda old, but still good. and Spoon has always been enjoyable, but the title for the new album is weird.

sexy and daring. light and emotional. slow and dancing.

THIS PODCAST: IAMX
------------>IAMX is known as the project of Chris Corner, the singer of Sneaker Pimps. he started off when he was 15 in the music industry with SP and IAMX is, to his explanation, something separate from himself. maybe an alter ego? a deep secret? some smexy fetish? i don't know and i don't care- the music is fantastic. i will admit, it reminds me of Patrick Wolf, but their tones are almost completely different.
THE LINEUP:
You're the Conversation, I'm the Game [acoustic]
Mercy [acoustic] - this makes me shiver...
The Alternative
Spit It Out - a song this year that is great!
BackgrdMsc: Nightlife

check the 'Spit It Out' vid @ youtube:
and check out "the alternative" and "nightlife" here:

p.s. he has much more 'sexual' songs like "Kiss & Swallow" and "Skin Vision" and etc... i just decided to keep it clean. check out some amazing live recordings @ IAMX PODCAST! (on my friends list)

**disclaimer: please support the artists by purchase @ eBay, Amazon, etc. sampling purposes only.**

so this is late. i think i have a habit of being somewhat lazy of updating on here. XS my voice is VERY nasal today. i have allergies. dammm.

THIS PODCAST: Fake and Rie Fu
----------> a bizarre combo, i know, but the music is from anime, so it fits into my episodes. i loved watching the only episode they made for Fake. it was awesum~!
THE LINEUP:
Everybody Shake It Buddy ~by The Kix [OP of Fake]

**disclaimer: please support the artists by purchase @ CDjapan, Yesasia, etc. sampling purposes only.**

so this is sorta late as well. i'm posting 2 more episodes this week so don't fret. i am pretty bizzay. but i will make plenty of episodes for the rest of the summer.

THIS PODCAST: some indie/ alternative stuff for ya ears @_@
---------->Kings of Convenience sounds like a more hip version of Simon and Garfunkel. and when i listen to 1990s, it reminds me of teen rock n' roll. either way, i hope you enjoy the songs i have on this episode, i will be doing more of these alt music episodes soon.
THE LINEUP:

i labeled this one 'explicit' 'cause i say mofo' in reference to Samuel L. Jackson. XD

another anime insert! i have some music from the amazing movie, Paprika! and i'll explain my absence last week. and my recent obsessions. XD

THIS PODCAST: Paprika, Emma, and etc
-------->still practicing rifle and trying to do a good job of that. i must get on top of my summer coursework. and yes, i don't really like how busy i am, but i have to. it'll pay off.

**disclaimer: please support the artists by purchase @ CDjapan, Yesasia, etc. sampling purposes only.**

also, have fun taking this quiz!

sooo i'm posting a bit late, since i was done with this episode on sat, but posted on sun. this is partially 'cause i am trying to practice rifle a lot to make the rifle line, but i kinda have bad time management when the summer comes (at least for anything outside of guard and marching band).

THIS PODCAST: uh, someone sign this band already!
---------> seriously, i can see this band as one with more talent than a lot of the new VK/jrock bands that are coming out now with just a pretty face and little musical 'wow'. SUICIDE ALI's music is great for anyone who likes VK (especially the electronic stuff), jrock (Diru) and a ton of the acid punk/metal/industrial english language bands (i.e. Mindless Self Indulgence, Slipknot, CombiChrist, etc).

C. ALT MUSIC

THIS PODCAST: it's time to return to one of my great loves...
------------>so this band disbanded in 2006 and their last gig was in Tokyo. i had mentioned that event in deep sadness. as for a lot of jrock bands i like, most of them are disbanded. ;__; but here's teh sound of deadman's first maxi album!

some more music and another episode coming up this weekend- all anime. i highly recommend listening to it, as i have really liked the music in the animes featured. and you can find most of the animes in ytube. but this is another alternative music round. pretty catchy stuff.

THIS PODCAST:
------>not much to say except that i hope this uploads right. i tried at least 6 times to post on my LJ on youtube PVs i found for BUCK-TICK, but i couldn't every time i tried. Robots In Disguise is great, and i really like Andrei's stuff. Check out Billy Reid @ verytasteful.com and then mellow out with some Emma Burgess to start your summer (i really don't know if she has new music or not, but her debut album is great)!

podomatic is messing with me. i have had some technical difficulties with uploading (such as last week and right now). i hope this one works for you guys. I have finally got around to making a anime epiy, so i'm not THAT lazy ,eh? XD

THIS PODCAST: D. Gray-man stuff!
---------->reading the manga right now, starting to watch the anime, i decided to make an epiy on the music in the anime. pretty cool stuff, though a bit misleading to the actual show's plot, theme, and mood. I used to hate TMR, but abingdon boys school is slightly better- still kinda poppy (my personal opinion). read the manga before watching the anime- the story is different.

okay, this is late again. but it's a quickie for me this time, and i will get to work on more episodes. *ultraman pose* HG man! FOOOOO!

THIS PODCAST: more indie stuff for mellow times.
-------->my recent jrock epiy was a bit too metal for a bunch of people...or at i feel like it was. so let's mellow out. i love OZMA, but the song i choose in this epiy is not the best. i recommend checking them out on myspace. Annuals is just indietastic.

THIS PODCAST: MIRROR album
------> some songs from the new MIRROR album [2007.04.11] that came this month. i've always sorta liked +D'espairsRay+; especially after hearing Marry of Blood (8:45). and this was an opportune time to post an epiy. did ya miss meh?

another belated episode, feat. alternative music. ya. (i know the image says "Rock Favs" but I changed my mind). so enjoy

THIS PODCAST: some indie/pop/dance/rock/folky stuff
------> for people who want to listen to something different. and it's pretty good stuff, even though it's a bit mellow and almost Keane-ish in emotional overtones. if it's not something you like, i understand. I love Beastie Boys and Run DMC too. Ch-Check It Out!

i also have a email mailing list on podOmatic so just send an email or comment on here with ya email.

please don't spam my account on myspace. it's a separate account from my personal one.

so this is really belated for an update but i've finally got here. Podomatic has given me application trial errors and i spent forever trying to fix it. i also have had a busy time at home, although it's spring break for me. i have guard and my comic and other needs to tend to. this is a good episode [even if i have a nasally loud voice right now.]

THIS EPISODE: SID Jpop
---------->formed in 2003, SID went from VK to jpop and hasn't looked back, but i have grown to like them still. Mao is still adorable. and shinji is 2nd. they are kinda jazzy in their sound an
d it's one of the reasons why they have such a wide fanbase. covering for Miyavi's absence at a con in 2004, they became known in the US.

THIS PODCAST: jpop
------------> so i'm not a big fan of Ayumi, but i like groups like WaT (only a little, they're cute!) and B'z. girl groups are ok, but BoA and Do As Infinity have gotten less interesting. just my opinion though. i'm a big fan of jazzy groups, though.

THIS PODCAST: upcoming band [lynch.] it's all cool!
----------> another slightly new (cerca. 2004) band but filled with indie bandies: Hazuki (ex deathgaze), guitarist Reo (ex Gullet) and drummer asanao (ex Sicstar); Yukino left in 2006. their sound is VK with some darker sound (like D meets luvie/kyo from Diru+D'espairs Ray and/or BLOOD).

and finally, something adorable from TheFiyaah @ youtube:

Sorry this is 2 days late. i was swamped in the jungles of paperwork. XS really want winter break sooo bad, but i had a day off of guard today so that's a good thing.

THIS PODCAST: some Digimon and randoms!
-----------> i was in a rush to make this so i don't have much to say except that Diru's new maggots song PV is too Korny and american. whateva happened to the vk stuff, songs like Obscure and etc? anyways, the song is the ending of this episode, so i hope you guys like it. a weird mix of stuff today. :s

THIS PODCAST: New stuff from MUCC singles, though not the album
-----------> since those weird singles came out, i had questioned the return of MUCC as the same band. but even though they'e changed a bit, their music is sooo new on this album! i'll post more songs when i can, but getting this music 2 DAYS after release in japan is amazing!

SERIOUSLY.

THIS PODCAST: stuff i listen to that you should hear.

THIS PODCAST: just some fun music and requests!
-----------> for some reason, a bunch of people wanted more Shulla music. so i have some, along with a fun song from Family Force 5, a rock group that's unique, yet funny. they released their 1st album this year, look very cool, though i don't like how they dress sometimes.

大キライな　ぼく　19才! (this me i hate, 19 years old. *rough translation*) so anyway, i've been listening to this song and other singles while watchin' xxxHOLiC as it aired all 24 episodes via Japan. I hope for a 2nd season, but i like how unique the show is alone. and the songs choosen are great, but questionable. enjoy the songs and COMMENT!

THIS PODCAST:
---------->For any japanese listeners or PV watchers, the 19sai PV was kinky, to say the least. The aired version blurred "offensives", as there is a sex scene, along w/ bunny* scene with the girl in it. Most don't see anything strange in the lyrics, but it's sorta a love song, and not much to do with xxxHOLiC. Kagerou (BUCK TICK) is the 2nd ED song, and i applaud anything that gets jrock out there, but ED animation is not up to par. It's not like Dir en grey's music in the horrendous 'Baki the Grappler', though.

soo i'm posting another NIGHT MIXER for yas. the next one will be a anime epiy, with some video game music. apparently, i'm gaining/losing some fans because i've been playing more jrock vs. jpop & anime ost stuff. whadda ya think? i think it's more on the requesting thing. so if you wanna hear something, just comment/request it! happy to oblige~
like the revamp? i changed the layout. Gackto des!

THIS PODCAST: some BUCK TICK, Gazette, alice nine
----------> i've never been a super fan of alice nine or Gazette (they changed their name to NIL!), but they're pretty catchy. so there. and like i crappily demostrated of Ai no Wakusei, Sakurai's voice is very sultery.

hey, it's a bit early for this one, but i've got a busy weekend starting school... =A= so here's the 2nd ANIME INSERT, no. 11, past the big 1-0!!! i'll try to post more frequently, and the requests from the last NIGHT MIXER will get some jrock. my mic is a bit OFF on this one, gomen.

THIS PODCAST: anime classic and interesting
-------->"some live, some die, in the name of the samurai" i've always liked Samurai Champloo, which is why i have a shirt. and it's also made by the same creator as Cowboy Bebop. it's a unique series, slightly old. as for Azumanga Daioh, after getting my DVD in Newtype, i was hooked. it's just a bit short and oddball like. so OBVIOUSLY, i liked it. Osaka des!

woah, it's another jrock round. i must be biased...... < >.> yup, don't tell anyone!!! next 2 episodes will be jpop/anime, i swear. for now, enjoy a band that i first avoided listening to, 'cause they sounded too american. but after trying them out, it's cool. i can't really explain their sound, it's like a punk rock mix. *my indie heart! XS*

THIS PODCAST: a english japanese band that sounds not VK?
---------> his full name is Kentaro James Shibuya Lloyd, born in London. 1/2 british. fantastic ENGLISH singing. his japanese is a bit weird for me though. FAKE?- since '02 , is still around. Ken is ex- Oblivion Dust, and INORAN was their guitarist, ex- LUNA SEA and currently Tourbillion. the support members are now official.

Konnichiwa, minnasan! i'm back from Ikasucon (actually last weekend, -_-; ) and i've got more jrock!!! i've done way too much jrock vs. anime epiys but w/e. i saw some great and not-so-great cosplay. like Narutos vould be Choujis. XS but then there was a jrock group & YAOI LOVE CIRCLE!!! 'Twas awesome. and i got buttsmex from a Kyo (DIR) cosplayer.

THIS PODCAST: Shulla & favs
-------> i'm a VK and eroguro jrock fan. i listen to dark stuff. but there are some bands that just pop to me. Like Psycho Le Cemu. they are disbanded, not hiatus. and Shulla ended '05. deadman ended '06 MAY 23, last LIVE in Tokyo. ;___;
