Korea ha-ha duo DOZ have a single coming out on Avex of all places, and it’s a comedy track with a very simple premise. The dudes repeat the phrase “arigatou gojyaimasu” (also the title of the song) along with a few “sumimasens” thrown in for good measure and say said words in funny ways. Simple, not remotely complex but still funny in an admittedly stupid kinda way. They even bring Auto-Tune into the picture and manage to turn what has become an extremely dull punchline…does anyone even care about T-Pain anymore?…and make it work. So yeah…cheap laughs above courtesy of Neaux.

  • Transitory Splendor: Submerse’s “Algorithms And Ghosts”

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    It is a soundtrack made for commuting between different places in large urban spaces, filled by swarms of people shoaling and funneling across intersections, subway stations and central hubs like corpuscles pulsating in the cities veins, conducted by invisible algorithms in the symbiotic superorganism that is a metropole. とは、Submerseによる自身がリリース予定の新EP、Algorithms And Ghostsの解説。人の多い忙しい街を行き来する時に聴いてほしいとの事。 初めて東京に訪れた人は誰でもきっとわくわくするはず。ネオンは四六時中光り輝き、人々は止まる事なく地下鉄を乗り換えて行きます。入り組んだ街並みからは、きっと路地裏やビルの陰に色々な物が隠されているに違いない、と思いますよね。でもそんな感情も長く住むにつれ薄れていく気がします。アパートを借りたとたんに、どこにでもある街へと突如変貌する恐れも。 Submerseというアーティストはイギリス出身で、今は日本に住みつつ、日本の首都”東京”から影響を受けたという新EP、Algorithms And Ghostsを準備しています。タイトル・トラックによると、彼はまだこの街からインスパイアされ続けてるみたいです！Burialがこの街を寂しい孤独な場所として表現しているのとは正反対で、Submerseの“Algorithms…

  • THE DIM

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    THE DIM play garage rock covered with bloghouse signifiers – their songs revolve mostly around guitar and drums, but the four-piece pushes in dashes of synths worthy of Hipster Runoff. Not much info about this band exists and they only have three songs streaming over at their MySpace, but the trio of tunes are pretty…
