Mike Rogers's avatar View Mike Rogers's profile Favoriting

Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

Pachabel's "Canon" is a famous classical music piece with an oft-used chord progression. That song did hint at Pachabel-goes-punk. ("Punkabel"?)

I don't know if it's the same in the US, but chances are if you are ordering a certain type of fish in one of those 'sushi' places here, it's probably going to be some other kind of fish... that's why I avoid it and ... ! Outrage ! stick to 'vegan' ersatz sushi.

The missus and I finished that BBC Sue Perkins in Japan but I found it really corny and condescending. It could've been made in the 80s. A bit about the Salaryman phenomenon, one about Sumo wrestlers and their fans. It sort of came off like a Mondo film. "Those wacky foreigners!"
Sue Perkins is funny and all, but it just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I wouldn't bother. It's sort of groan-inducing in its unoriginality or going over old cliché topics. It's also very Euro-centric in a condescending way. But it's the BBC.

Iasked a bunch of Japanese garage bands to allow me to release a CD compilation, Only Guitar Wolf said "OK" (really!) I was so surprised. So, I just dropped the idea at that time (like a year ago) Maybe I should try that again. It seems they don't really do comps in Japan like they do in the west.

Off the subject, but the average Japanese is happy Japan lost the war against the USA. No kidding. The old imperial government was kind of crazy (think North Korea) they outlawed studing English, Had thought police, etc.... Average Japanese is very happy Japan lost to the USA....

@MrFab NumeroUno has two great albums with lots of funk I bought recently... one is called An Alternative History of Pop Music... and the other was called SOUL MESSAGES FROM DIMONA
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:55pm
MHLee:

The latter is the Black Hebrew Israelites that have a community in Israel which is an interesting thing in itself

Mr Fab:

I bought a comp of international hip-hop in the early 90s probably, that featured a Japanese band with the amusing name "Microphone Pager."

Thx MHLee, will check those out. Just when I think I've heard all the funk there is...

You see, the problem is (especially in Japan) is people think, "So and so is a Punk Dj, or a Garage DJ, blah, blah blah." Even the Hip Hop people here look at me with suspicion.
