Yellow Magic Orchestra - Rydeen

I found out about this band via fauxpas(recent album Noiseworks has been nominated for a Independent Music Award) iamfauxpas.com/2010/09/rydeens/. Yellow Magic Orchestra is a three piece Japanese electro group formed back in 1978 (wiki). If you like Daft Punk this will float your boat. Also this is a great video.

Die Antwoord

The answer to whatever. Die Antwoord (means 'The Answer') straight outa South Africa. They are Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek.



This is the type of band they would play in a movie depicting the music while a time traveler would be bombarded by these crazy futuristic band.

check out the awesome doco on this band vimeo.com/15196261

This is also a wicked track

Northcote (So Hungover) - The Bedroom Philosopher

From the Album 'Songs from the 86 Tram'

I'm not a fan of The Bedroom Philosopher, but I find this funny as I could imagine someone talking like this on the tram around the Fitzroy area.

At the moment I'm going through my pile of CD's that have built up over the last few months, will probably use them for the next Barrel of Monkeys on PBSfm this Tuesday 2-6am.

Some acts I might play

The Magic Box # 2

Late again at PBSfm doing my radio show, looking through the magic box for some gold.

The Magic Box # 1

This was taken late one night at PBSfm while doing a radio show you may listen to called Barrel of Monkeys (probably on the 18th August). We've nickname the Box at the front entrance of PBSfm as 'The Magic Box' as you never know what musical magic you can find, a gold coin donation and it's yours.

Still diggin Mylo's 'Destroy Rock & Roll'

I first heard this album in the second half of 2004 while living in Japan, thanks to an English ALT friend I made by the name of Neil (who now I've lost contact with). For me this album still hold up, some great work conceived via laptops, but what ever happened to Mylo? I was going to see him person with a full piece band at the prince but this was canceled due to him breaking an appendage.

Gigs in Tokyo

A friend of mine wanted to know if I remembered any websites that listed gigs in Japan, as I once lived there back 2004-05, I couldn’t remember, I found a few links from another website. This is what I found.
