90年代はすごかったですか：「ワナダイズ」と「ロミオとジュリエット」とスウェデンのポップ

音楽についてぼくは日本語の先生とよく話してきました。今週、ぼくは日本語でブログを書いてみていますよ。行きましょう！

ワナダイズ

音楽の年について、たいてい80年代はいちばんの年だと思っています。しかし、90年代について考えていました。90年代、流行の音楽あまり好きじゃなかったですが、「The Wannadies ～ ワナダイズ」というバンドが好きでした。ワナダイズはちょっと「パワーポップ」なのに、このバンドのおかげで、ぼくはパンクロックのことを学びました。ワナダイズに興味があるから、「Exploding Hearts」と「The Boys」と「Dead Kennedys」のようなバンドに興味を持つようになっていました。ワナダイズの曲は楽しくて、とてもアイロンニカルな詞がありましたから。

Woodie Taylor at NYCPOPFEST

Hey wanna go to NYCPOPFEST? Woodie's* going to be there, on the drums with Comet Gain! All the way from the UK!

You should especially go if you like indie pop & live in Brooklyn. Maybe you have tickets already and this is all old news to you. I don't know. I'm just blogging. Whatever. Here are some links. [show details & tickets] [NYCPOPFEST]

*Woodie from Milou Studios who has excellent ears & mixes our songs!

KAP BAMBINO // DEVOTION

I'm at my favorite coffee shop, trying to study...but since their manager seems determined to force feed me the beige production and uninspired melodies of the new Madonna record, it seems like it's the perfect time to talk about some decent music.  Namely Kap Bambino's new record, "Devotion".

ATTACK.WAV on the interweb with MikeyPod

So last week the super awesome (that's his official title btw) Michael Harren did a mini interview with me and put a couple songs of ours on his latest podcast.  I was really nervous about interview...if you saw / heard the radio show I think you understand... talking to people, especially about myself, is not my forte.  However, I kind of shocked myself---didn't think I did too bad. 

BEST OF 2K11

I know it's already March but here are my favorites of 2K11.  I was hoping you hadn't already heard too many of these but then maybe it'd be cool if you had and everyone was super into all this stuff.    My nature was already predisposed towards wierdo pop of a Japanese origin, and attempting to learn the language certainly hasn't helped me diversify... Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this stuff!!
