Blowin’ In: I Saw You Yesterday’s Malibu EP
Serving as a nice continuation of that Cairo post from yesterday, here comes Ano(t)raks latest release from Tokyo’s I Saw You Yesterday, the four-song Malibu EP. It’s a zippy set of feedback-tinged indie-pop, featuring half-submerged vocals and some nice moments of release to counteract the melancholy hanging over some of these songs (see “Daisy,” a…
One For The Weekend: Yoshino Yoshikawa Featuring LASTorder’s “Tokyo”
One final song for the weekend, and one more Tokyo-themed track from a Maltine artist performing at Monday’s Maltine “Tokyo” live event.

2010 Trend That May One Day Lead To More Japanese Music Being Popular In America (But Probably Not): Tolerating Auto-Tune
Note: We take a break from our songs list to give out some more awards that might make you pissed. Pity Auto-Tune. The pitch-correcting software became pop music’s boogeyman sometime late in the 2000s, joining “they don’t play instruments” and “all they do is rap about guns and women” as easy ways to avoid talking…
