New Heavenstamp: “Decadence”
ByPatrick St. Michel February 7, 2012

The real hook with Heavenstamp’s “Decadence” has very little to do with the original song itself. The band, now down a bassist after last week, sound fine on this track from their forthcoming March release. “Decadence” doesn’t sniff last year’s excellent “Morning Glow,” the warmth of that song shuffled out in favor of something sorta…

ByPatrick St. Michel December 19, 2016December 19, 2016

Another year draws to a close, and that means its time for the annual rush of year-end blog posts looking back on the year that was. And, again, I try to write an intro to this collection trying to say something original, about putting together lists and what it all means. But at this point,…

ByPatrick St. Michel October 31, 2009

This Monday, Sunset Rubdown comes to Osaka to perform at Sunsui. Being a big Sunset Rubdown fan, I plan on doing everything in my power to get to this show. I also became curious about the other band on the bill, OGRE YOU ASSHOLE (bet you I know what the first question they get asked…

New Shiggy Jr.: “Listen To The Music”
ByPatrick St. Michel June 2, 2014

Let’s first face a tough reality – the idea of there being a “song of the summer” in 2014 Japan that isn’t “Happy,” “Let It Go” or the they-are-trying-to-make-it-happen-so-bad “Problem” is insane. Two of those are being pushed by the powers-that-be, while the other is a Disney song from the most successful Disney movie in…

Cubs More Like Flubs: immi – “Sign Of Love”
ByPatrick St. Michel May 31, 2010

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQFTOYcPgUM&hl=en_US&fs=1&] A quick Google search for “immi” reveals a couple articles and message board threads comparing the trancey singer’s musical production to Daft Punk. Since this is my first exposure to the all lower-caps immi, I can’t really verify if that’s true. If we assume it’s true…the best journalism here folks…then on latest single “Sign…

Monday Morning Round-Up: Tofubeats Remixes Trippy Turtle, New i-fls, BlackglassG
ByPatrick St. Michel June 16, 2014

A handful of gems to start this week. Let’s hit ’em quick. – I don’t know much about Trippy Turtle, though I think that’s the point. It is a mysterious project (maybe from Norway), and whoever this is mostly remixes R ‘n’ B songs. The original “Trippy’s Theme” sounds a lot like Seiho, but Tofubeats’…
