New Kindan No Tasuketsu: “Crazy”
Here’s a slow burner from Kindan No Tasuketsu, “Crazy.” It unfolds like a nursery rhyme (that chorus), and features a wild keyboard solo amidst all the longing.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Snh-9CM50″] The premise for Comeback My Daughters’ video for new single “Why” isn’t terribly complex – the band is in New York City, let’s film them running around pretending to play their instruments while a few baffled locals cast strange glances at the camera every once in awhile. Easy, but entertaining. Especially when they end…

SparkPlugged and Neaux (side tangent: that pairings the J-music blog equivalent of Nash-To-Stoudemire, totally dope) correctly pegged the sound…
Here’s a new one from Molice, called “Fatima.” It’s some solid follow-the-bouncing-ball rock, improved drastically by the lead vocals, which remind me of (oddly enough) the matter-of-fact delivery of Vanilla Beans.

He has shared “Nice Dream” which is another pulverizing, suffo…wait, what, this is actually really soft and sweet?! After a small collection of chaotic songs, “Nice Dream” scales things back a bit and opts for a dreamier…
Tokyo-based DJ Baroque’s first single “Down/Midnight Muscle” drops Oct. 30. The two tracks are available now on his MySpace page, though. “Down” skitters all around, while “Midnight Muscle” sticks to a rather, ahem, muscular beat during its run time.

Well here’s a complete curveball – 80kidz’s latest remix, of Fight Like Apes I-will-beat-the-shit-out-of-you “Lend Me Your Face,” forgoes the trio’s usual dancefloor-approved production for…a John Waters-worthy emotional rocker. The track eventually builds up to a club dance beat, but for most of it’s four-minute-plus duration sticks to a slower moving guitar-centric sound reminiscent of…
