Midori's new album is awesome as expected.

Indeed. It's at the very least on par with their second album. It might even be better.

Also the Karen album is very good. A surprise for me because I think Art-School is terribly boring.

The album is quite good I would say, though I only went through it once.

I totally missed the Sokabe Keiichi BAND album that came out last month. It's good though, some positive tunes. They just need to do a studio Telephone Love.

ART-SCHOOL, or just Kinoshita?

I like the album, even though it's basically ART-SCHOOL with Achiko.

I've only ever listened to the one Art-School album (Love/Hate) so I can't really say for sure. Isn't Karen like half Downy, half Art-School? Or did I imagine that?

Dammit, now you're making want to re-listen to art-school to see if I like them again.

Ayabie · « **Reply #205 on:** May 17, 2008, 10:37:02 PM »

Well, guess it's no use convincing you if you don't like LOVE/HATE.

And yeah, KAREN = downy/ART-SCHOOL + Achiko.

cool thanks, they were on my "to look for list" I made a couple years ago, but never actually looked for anything.

Ayabie · « **Reply #209 on:** May 22, 2008, 09:10:26 PM »

Speaking of looking...

Please, someone tell me they've found Phantasia.

I know there's a rip somewhere, but I can't find it...

boykun · « **Reply #210 on:** May 22, 2008, 10:46:47 PM »

I guess it's just that one song. Got fooled by the demo.

Quick as always. Thanks.

Perfect Piano Lesson - Terra Incognita

http://www.mediafire.com/?wnntef2j92m

The opening track "Morning Spider" is fairly powerful in the vein of 241 Mondays, but for the most part the new album is a touch softer compared to Modernize. "Electric City" is pretty dope. Reminds me of The Telephones (another fave indie band of mine. can upload their albums too if people are interested), Anyways Terra Incognita is pretty solid all throughout, download and enjoy, biatches.

PV (streaming) for "Springstorm"

Summer = season of a thousand ginormous rock festivals
I could care less about RIJ, Sweet Shower, Setstock etc
What I want to know is when the hell Zankyo Matsuri #4 is going to be? So far no info on the Zankyo website.
I went to the festival last year (though I missed a few bands b/c I went over to O-west to watch pinpan. hahaha. Like I'm gonna pass up a chance to chill with Chopper and Nana)

Also hoping for a Firefox festival '08.
http://www.firefoxfestival.com/top_en.html
They should use a bigger venue than Shibuya Boxx if they hold one this year. That place is tiny, prob 300 ppl max or so.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #218 on:** June 06, 2008, 01:20:10 AM »

^ you missed a few of those bands to hang out with Chopper and Nana? Unless you were all drunk or you were trying to hit it, not worth it.

Looks like a kick ass festival.
Not complaining, but since when has masudore been with zankyo? They should sign them and maybe they'll actually get a chance to release a real album.

I'm hoping for another firefox festival too, cause I could actually watch it

thanks for the album btw
