Muddy’s

Here we are at last night’s extravaganza. Pu took the photo when drunk so that’s why…

Thanks to all who came and hope to see you at the next one.

Muddies gig

To all Yokohama/Tokyo readers.

Playing at a bar called Muddies this Saturday. Meeting at Okurayama station (Toyoko line) at 7:45.

Hope at least a few of you can make it!

Scott Walker’s latest

Its hard going but sure it will be rewarding in the long run. He was certainly prophetic when he sang the sun ain’t gonna shine anymore! With songs on ‘The Drift’ about Clara Petacci, charging Cossacks and Elvis’ still-born twin brother Jesse, you know you won’t be sipping G & Ts by the pool.

Johnny’s last

Yes I know its been out for a while but have finally got round to getting American V: a hundred highways. The man had actually passed on two years before it was finally completed and was dying while most of it was being recorded,

“Some days his voice was weak and he sounded like he was panting, trying to get enough air. Other days his voice boomed with power and gravity.”(Rick Rubin)

Have only listened to it once but am happy to say that it seems a fitting testament in its sadness and finality (unless more lost recordings from the sessions are unearthed…)

Live photo

OK its a bit late in coming but here’s a photo from one of Bu’s recent live extragavanzas. Playing in Yokohama on October 7th

after work

It’s been a while really to be back here. Last night we went to see an Australian band called “dirty three” in Shibuya after work. Managed to get tickets by pu after Bu’s disappointment missing the same band’s live day before yesterday. I barely knew about them through Bu that one of them is a part member of The bad seeds known as Nick Cave’s back band. Bu downloaded one song of them to my ipod ages ago and I remembered i liked that. Here they were after boring and sleepy starter bands they really waked me up! Very aggressive and extremely loud. Warren Ellis was a very funny and crazy guy and we enjoyed their performance. Pu
