long time no see internet.
various things are in the works.
fitness has a show in pomona at the da gallery on the 28th. see more info at our real website. it should be good.
i have a show in osaka on april 5th. you can likewise see more info at our real website. that should also hopefully be good.
will look something like this:
but only if you are suspended sideways or something. i guess you should consider drinking heavily if you want it to look at all similar. dxm or something crazy.

anyways, that show is with a whole lot of people and artists i like. namely Lemon's Chair. see video here:

in other news, magical mistakes/death by panda has a nine song album done spanning forty minutes. i am sitting on it before release, and am considering various available options regarding the medium it could potentially be distributed in. and i also have another 20-35 minute psychedelia/drum set put together for live performance. it's too different things though, and the sound/song writing is quite a bit different. the finished album is more pop/psych/electronic and the performance set is more steve reich meets anticon with more drums.

stuff that's been inspiring me lately: lemon's chair, watchman (ex-melt banana, also drummer of lemon's chair), various hip hop things introduced to me by my DJ friend Kawakami, beach boys, weird time signatures, drinking occasionally, getting nostalgic for the few things i miss about my life in southern california (they are few but important), the new animal collective release.
by the way that album is perfect beyond belief. i was kinda pissed it's so good since i was trying to make a nice sounding album in the midst of my hearing merriweather post pavillion for the first time. my non-verbal response was something along the lines of 'fucking christ why did they develop such a perfect aesthetic? now i have to try doing something else.'

in other news; here's an artist i am doing some work with. http://www.myspace.com/monsieurmatthew wolveskin would be the track. you'll hear music contributions from me. Matthew put some vocals and added some effects here and there. let me know what you think of the aesthetic. i'm putting more tracks together for this project in my spare time, and your input could affect where i take the aesthetic.

...made sweet love to my soul last night. SWR is the free jazz version of Acid Mothers. If you aren't aware of some of their performance lineups, you can read up on them here. But basically Acid Mothers revolves around Kawabata Makoto, the guitarist with frizzy hair. And Pikachu was fantastic, as expected.

Saxophonist Umezu Kazutoki was a guest musician.

Drummer is from very influential band called Ruins.

Kawabata Makoto is a genuine baddass.


This is Pikachu. One half of Afurirampo. They are all involved in so many projects. I've seen both of them in various side-projects, but never seen them together. It's a shame. They were actually playing another show last night with Bogulta and Oshiri Penpenz. Also, Pikachu's MOM came to the show, which made me really really happy.

I bought a tape recorder to start documenting Japan and Japanese music in particular. I'm going to use a lot of the recordings for research or my senior thesis. I ended up interviewing Kawabata Makoto, which really surprised me. He talks about music, politics, drugs, Osaka, etc.
You can listen to it here: Kawabata Makoto Interview
Here's short part 2, about Namba Bears (the venue) founder Yamamoto Seichi (of Boredoms fame).

I should apologize if I sound like a tool. I started speaking in Japanese and forgot to go back to English. That happens to me all the time in this country.

Here are some recordings of the show:

With ENVY
http://www.temporaryresidence.com/mp3s/envy_gomadandmark.mp3
I tried to see this band three years ago when they played at Fuck Yah Fest in LA but things got complicated.
now that wait is over.
thank GOD.
I wonder what attracts me to Envy's brand of hardcore over all the other stuff I scoff at. I think it's that underneath the screaming high school angst are some unbelievably beautiful guitar parts. Unbelievable beauty :)

Event is at Shangra-Li in Osaka-Umeda on January 29th.

I'm not gonna have a good introductory narrative to tell this story. I'm just going to put it out there. When I saw Nagisa ni Te yesterday night, it was only the guy (Shibayama) and his bassist friend. His girlfriend/drummer/vocalist wasn't playing. I have no idea why. He didn't offer any explanation either. So from the start I was already a bit devastated. I watched the show in a bittersweet drunken stupor. But I'll continue with my story: Shibayama, the male vocalist guitar god in Nagisa ni Te, is just that--he's fucking incredible. You can catch hints of the raging psychedellia couped up within this man on their records, but the live setting really showcases the great range of guitar delay/distortion/noise freakouts juxtaposed with delicate vocal arrangements.
I should also note that Shibayama does a great job at playing the tortured artist, but in a particularly Japanese way. He's this aging musician, probably in his mid-40s but he's got this perfect look on his face, like an older guy reflecting on how bittersweet and lonely his life has been. It felt like this emotion carried him away so much that he had trouble playing the songs at times. Like he definitely just fucked one song up and stopped playing, panting and out of breath and said "gomennasai" like five times while staring at the ground with this timeless eye-glimmer half-smile half-suicidal break down. It was absolutely beautiful.



...
So Nagisa ni Te is playing at Namba Bears (a live house run by ex-boredoms) on November 7. I'm going to go to that. Maybe girlfriend/drummer Takeda will be there. God I hope so.






Other music I saw last night... let's see:
三輪二郎といまから山のぼり/ぱぱぼっくす/
前野健太とDAVIDBOWIEたち/OA~さんましめそば

ぱぱぼっくす: Girl and guy
前野健太とDAVIDBOWIEたち: This guy sang a great song about "anata ga koibito ni naritai" (i want you to be my lover) but it had enough soul to it so i got him to give me a free CD sampler with that song on it.

This is Yagi. Yagi is an artist and also the boyfriend of my friend Satsuki. She didn't tell me any of this though so I slowly discover that Yagi travels around Europe doing art shows with his instructor, who is this Japanese guy who apparently (if I can understand Japanese correctly) was influential to Jackson Pollock. Or he's like the Japanese Jackson Pollock. Something to do with Jackson Pollock basically. More info on this later. He got back from the Ukraine last week doing a show there. Crazy performance/visual art installations where the art is in the act of making the art. Stuff like that. And lots of stuff made with yarn that looks like canvas. I'll follow up soon with some tangible info that you can read and see and digest and enjoy and LOVE.
I've really got to get some more details about all of this but it's quite interesting the people I've been running into around Osaka/Kobe/Kansai area.

Had a strange and wonderful day yesterday. Met a friend in Kobe, got some ramen, and ended up meeting this really cool Japanese artist/music guy in a hat shop. He took us around different record shops for a while. Seo is his name (see pic on left).

From Kobe I left on the express train to Osaka, to a little place called Ogimachi park. Right across the street is this super small bar/livehouse called MUSICAJAPONICA. I got my name on the list for Nagisa Ni Te in two weeks and decided to stay and get drunk/listen to some music. I ended up hanging out with some Japanese guys, who I subsequently discovered were playing in this band from Kobe called Valva. They were gonna play later on in the night. Valva is basically like a throwback to some 60s/70s psychedellia with some strange peculiarities. The vocalist, MATSUO, is this super flamboyant dude, with a voice that is somewhere between a girl and a child. He might have been hitting on me, but I dunno. Either way he was chill. The guitarist (on the left in the videos) is SHIBUYA. We were talking about music for a while. Noise and stuff.

Other bands I saw: this band ジョズエ。and インコフェイス.
That would be Jozue and Inkoface. Inko means like fucked up. So fucked up face. They were really good too. Jozue isn't too different from Nagisa ni Te. Lots of 4ths and stuff. Nice and sad. Inkofacccee is a bit different. Got some video of them too. But it's shitty cell phone footage so apologies


VALVA
