The sound quality is pretty awful, but this video is rather amazing.

Slightly more on topic, thesixtyone member puntspeedchunk has seen fit to create a fan podcast for the website, and seeing as that he happens to live in Tokyo and we happen to play in Tokyo every so often, we, your humble hosts, have been featured on the inaugural episode as interviewees. He tracked us down at Yaneura in Shibuya this weekend and squeezed some nonsense out of myself and Daisuke. He also brought along a photographer friend, so there will be photos later. Photos!

Here is the feed url for the podcast: http://feeds.feedburner.com/libsyn/aSnO You can hear our discombobulated jibber-jabbering at around the thirty minute mark. Open it in iTunes or your RSS reader of choice and bask in our collective shame.

Anyway, thanks for the love, Bryan.

Here are some songs by our friends Gringo, with whom we will be playing in Shibuya this Sunday:

Gringo - Boku Wa Sou Na Yo Ni
Gringo - Pecha Pai

They are awesome.

The other bands who will be appearing don’t appear to be half bad either:

Mamimi Folksong
BB Mojaco
Boogie the Mach Motors
Kyatats Joe

Usually when we get to Tokyo we’re stuck playing with a bunch of shitty, generic J-Rock bands, so I am rather looking forward to this one.

In other news, it looks like Epson (of Joshibu fame), who has been assisting us by standing behind flat surfaces and vending compact discs and other merchandise, as well as acting as our official photographer, will be taking on a more managerial role. What exactly this means, nobody is quite sure. Presumably we will be more active in booking our own shows from here on out, as opposed to passively waiting for the invitations to trickle in, for one. She has also started designing business cards, which is exciting if you are dead inside.

Congratulations, Epson. Now you get to talk to the stupid people at record companies and the like so we don’t have to.
