Doesn't Kero Mean Frog?
So, been working on finding myself some new music when I found myself surfing internet radio stations at Mach 1. Decided, "Hey, what about Japan?" I figured that Polysics and Cibo Matto are both from Japan, and I remembered the name "Boredoms" so I said, alright, let's try this.

I doubt you have any idea how difficult it is to sort the Jpop and Jrock from the stuff that's actually good enough to be listend to by non anime-fansub-hunting super-nerds. Let me elaborate: I've been scouring the net since midnight, have about 40 names to look through and I think I might have two names of bands worth keeping.

1. eX-Girl: It's this weird like, pop-oompa-prog band THING that (after struggling through an Engrish site for 10 minutes) turns out to be on Alternative Tentacles! I think the most recent album is about this girl three piece being frogs from spaec, but, you know, I don't even speak Japanese. 4 stars.

2. Howling Guitar: Like a sort of Rockabillyish, skaish, upbeat thing with this japanese guy whose vocal range from sounding like he's fucking Rod Stewart (proper fucking) to actually really, really good. 4 stars.

Anyway, I'll probably end up with a tumor in my brain if I hear another Puffy AmiYumi song (they were actually sued by Puffy P. Diddy Daddy Dibba Dabba Do-right over property of the name "Puffy" in the USA. These are like, two 16 year old girls, btw), because they're really, really....really poppy. Oog.

Well, back to the grind I guess.

	HOLY shit. This band, "Watusi Zombie," is like the coolest thing ever created, and I can't find a place that sells a CD anywhere on the internet. However, I did find that "watusi Zombie" is also the name of a terrible song. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
