J-Rock Fridays Vol. 36
January 7, 2011Happy new year!
Shugo Tokumaru- “Linne”
Let’s start the new year off right with Shugo’s new shadow-play video for “Linne.” It’s from his excellent 2010 album Port Entropy, which is *gasp* coming out in America next month!
HNC- “I Dream I Dead”
Yuppa took a break from party music and made this strange little diddy. I guess a lot of people died while she was making this Witches Party EP.
BACK-ON- “Tell Me”
Sometimes I forget BACK-ON still exists, even though I was pretty big on them when I made this blog. Their new single “Tell Me” collects footage from their Texas performance at some anime convention.
SpecialThanks- “HELLO COLORFUL”
Fish shaped hot air balloons and surf boards! Colorful indeed.
Head Speaker- “Binzume Sugar Plum”
If you have a fetish for neon meet your new girlfriend.
winnie- “this storyends”
winnie’s fetish for polka dots is strong. On a side note Hub TV is airing reruns of The Wonder Years. Just watched the episode where Winnie moves four miles away and Kevin gives her a ring for “insurance.” So sweet!
Fox Loco Phantom- “Kitchen Monster”
FLP continues to rock hard, whether on foot or back.
ONE WAY TRIBE- 繋ぐ未来に種蒔きを
Another hard rocking band. They’re putting out their first album this month!
VIBEDRED- “DtheWALL”
Not a whole lot of wall f*cking going on here, just some loud rock.
STRAIGHTENER- “Vanish”
STRAIGHTENER hired the telephones to shoot their music video while the band played Sukiyaki Western Django.
The Mirraz- “Oh”
Try to keep up with The Mirraz and a thousand street signs.
The Unique Star- “+Distortion”
The Unique Star gets a little creepy and gory in this one.
