Greetings from Osaka

[paper warrior]

Never been to Japan so I don't know anything about Japanese releases but 2 of my fave albums are American releases of Japanese artists- Brand New Knife by Shonen Knife And Talking Dirty In Hawaiian By Petty Booka.
Also have you heard Orquesta de la Luz the Japanese salsa band!?? They're great.
Also I had to check Pizzacato 5 when I read they sound like the Beatles on amazon though to me sounds more like Burt Bacharach.

You're in Osaka, Japan, Stoney?!?

WTH? Did I miss something? The rest of us sadsacks report everytime we go to the corner store for a six-pack, and you just happen to post from Japan?

Cool... are you there on business or pleasure, or a little of both?

You didn't miss anything. I've been on the road almost all of December (all US destinations until now). It's all business, and I'm here less than 48 hours, most of which is work time. That's why I hit the Tower across the street and haven't been able to track down any cool little indie shops. I head back for the airport in a few hours.

It doesn't leave much time for a social life, and for once in my life I could actually have one right now, if ya catch my drift...

Have a nice Christmas.

Is everyone that blase? No one even blinked when you said you were posting from Osaka, so I thought I'd missed a whole thread! That's pretty cool in my books!

Just out of prison, Stoney??? Heheheh...

Kidding!!! Have a great Christmas, buddy. Heard any music by DoMakeSayThink?

Hey Davey, on that world music VHS comp I sent you about, oh, 11 years ago. there was this GREAT Japanese group on there. The video involved a transformer and the song, to me, was outrageously good, lots of quirky changes that worked. Can you remember their name? I won't say its been driving me crazy trying to remember the group, but I have spent a few minutes here or there wundrin who the heck that was.
