Tokyo Damage Report

COMING SOON:

coming up in the next few weeks:

 

insanely long Interview with a visual kei record executive

Fall ‘09 design festa – links and pix of  over 20 new artists!

CONQUEST FOR DEATH!

PISSCHRIST!

ZENI GEVA!

AVSKUM!

Review of the first English-language Love Hotel guidebook!

 

New Ura Hello Work translations: pot farmer AND professional forger!

List of things to do if you have Bill Gates money.

What makes a wack emcee – flowchart? Perhaps!

Japan’s Punk Scene: a bit of anthropology! Is it political? Is it "real" or fashion?

And. . . . .

if that is not enough . ..

a COMPLETE REHAUL of the "kanjidamage"  website. It will be a PROGRAM! and not just a single 3gigabyte-long .html page. I have been secretly working on this for 5 months now and it’s almost . . .well, not done. . . but almost ready for you guys to beta-test it.

 

 

Also, I came up with the best Metal band name ever

 

Are you ready?

 

 

(SEEKING FEMALE KEYBOARDIST!)

 

That’s it! Parenthesis, seeking female keyboardist,  exclamation point, end-parenthesis.

That way, every flyer for your show, you’d make whatever band was above you on the flyer seem like total posers.:

Imagine the following on a telephone pole near you:

**************************

12/06 at The Pound, all ages:

BIOHAZARD

(SEEKING FEMALE KEYBOARDIST!)

DISCONFORMITY

************************

 

or:

***********************

12/19 at CBGBs:

 

SLAYER

(SEEKING FEMALE KEYBOARDIST!)

NILE

DEATHCOOCH DEBACLE

SOCIOPATHIC REMRANT

***********************

 

Anyway, someone needs to start that band.

    I saw CFD last October and got to meet Craigums after seeing Your Mother back in 1999. A great band – both of them.

    While I’m commenting here, you don’t have any ideas on where I could find a copy of Stalin Claus Superstar?

    If I had time to play in a band, I’d definitely use (SEEKING FEMALE KEYBOARDIST!) as the name.

    @sephim: Jesus, you are hitting 100% on every west coast in-joke EVER. It’s like you are the Muhammmad Ali of ’90s punk. Who are you anyway?

    Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to the “kanjidamage” rehaul. So far, it’s been helpful, man.

    I’m just a guy who loves music with a hefty sense of humour. 34 years old, married, one child. People say I hate everything, but that’s not entirely true – I just don’t “get” a lot about what it is people DO like e.g. HDTV, Blu Ray, Dexter, Guitar Hero, Sam Worthington…

    You’re wrong; DEATHCOOCH DEBACLE is without a doubt the best possible english language band name.
    Holy fuck.
