New Birds Melt Sky: “Oneday, Someday”
ByPatrick St. Michel June 11, 2012June 17, 2012

Haven’t heard much from Birds Melt Sky in a long time…2010, to be exact…which explains why I completely forgot what they sounded like. I originally wrote a post about “Oneday, Someday,” noting how it marked a change in style for the group because the beat was more prominent, making the song more physical, more danceable…

STAR GUITAR: “FUTURE”
ByPatrick St. Michel November 16, 2010

[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE-rGZhKrJE”] Right off the bat – yes, the outfit named themselves STAR GUITAR. They make dance music. The video for “FUTURE” (above) revolves around a train.

ByPatrick St. Michel December 20, 2016

Half of this entry should be relatively self-explanatory — these are albums that, for various reasons, just missed our final cut. All of them are worth your listening time, and them falling just outside of the top 30 really shows just how much good music came out of Japan. The other, though, is a bit…

Bright Headspace: Jesse Ruins’ Split Cassette With THE BEAUTY
ByPatrick St. Michel March 2, 2011

Outside of their big three (AAPS, NITES and Faron Square), the CUZ ME PAIN stable features a handful of bedroom-enclosed artists who have at various times stumbled onto good ideas but have a long way to go until they forge out a unique sound. Jesse Ruins didn’t even get a pity blog post here over…
