It has been an interesting time recently.

RG and I went to a Karaoke bar slash restaurant.

It had a great atmosphere, but a la carte is my worst enemy.

nice and arty

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.

HEALTH/Foals Chez Glass House

Health and Foals played at the Glass House in Pomona tonight, and let me tell you. Yes, I will tell you. It was great. Health's sound was so good this time (comparatively, for instance, when they played Sunset Junction and the sound guy was a jerk). Although the turn out was disappointing, the show was awesome. As always, if you have the opportunity to see them, do. Plus they got me into the show for free, as I interviewed them earlier for KSPC (expect the full, non-radio edit soon). In summary, Health is super cool and super nice. You will love each other.

For not being a Foals fan, I have to say their performance was pretty good. I especially love thier love of the disco beat. Fairly post-punk/post-rock but pretty dancey. They did not do an encore (according to Rachel, its not a British thing), but we all know encores aren't hip anymore anyways.
Expect full Health interview soon, courtesy of KSPC (kspc.org).

Fuck Yeah!


Fuck Yeah Fest 2008: An (Selected) Overview
Mika Miko: Better at the Smell.
Japanther: Cute, would probably sound better at the Smell.
Fucked Up: Fuck this band and everything they do. The lead singer got naked, I got punched in the face.
High Places: Looked cool, sounded awful. Setting levels correctly before performing is best for optimizing audience interest. Apparently, their recordings are good.
Glass Candy:



Best show I've seen all summer. It was worth getting punched in the face to see this. A fan gave Ida a book titled "Man, Creature, and Myth" which she opened up and started singing the text with Mr. Jewel synthing it up. Talked to the band post performance and they were super nice, informed me about their record label (Italians Do It Better), the status of their vinyl (will be ready in a month, but will come with a free 7"), their recent tour with the Chromatics, and general chatting. If you have the ability, go see them.
Matt and Kim: Too chatty. Matt is officially an asshole for his terrible stage antics. Kim only smiles. The music is unoriginal, boring, and to put it bluntly, shitty.
No Age: Sounds better at the Smell. Of course, they don't really sound that good in the first place. The hype for No Age is misplaced. They sound like every other Smell band plus some post punk. BORING.
Fuck Yeah Fest (2008) was fun, I will admit. Hopefully next year the lineup will be less Smelly, or at least a better Smell.
We will see.
