Hey Mr DJ play that song
Spent a fun afternoon today down at the unbeatable KFJC radio station, playing cassettes and singles (and a few CDs and CDRs) from my collection of Japanese underground music. Thanks to Dan for allowing me to take over for a few hours, attempting to play almost entirely bands that nobody has ever heard of. But I did have to start with "Amerika" by YBO2 from the Alienation album, as that one holds a special place for me as an early wake-up call that there was some seriously amazing music to be found in Japan, a couple of years before I made it over there. (I'll remind folks here that I am working to keep my Japanese music blog active, now at http://ongakublog.wordpress.com)
And after the radio show we went and got some fantastic Indian food. Now that I think about it I'm not sure why we didn't go get Japanese food for dinner, but since it was delicious we must have made the right choice.
