I've got Alice in Videoland on repeat right now as I'm slugging through some compositing (green screen editing).
really catchy stuff!

Carpenters CD at the mo which I found in a shop today. Their songs worked to improve my English pronounciation.

Do you listen to any J-songs and do they work to improve your Japanese?

I think listening to songs and following them by singing together works really good because you are to sing same songs over and over which you usually do in some language school.

recently ive been listening to the presets and cut copy.

both australian i believe

Magic Numbers
Arcade Fire

Still listening to Cog, Queens of the Stone Age not much more. I am in a musical rut.

John Butler Trio
Xavier Rudd
and always Grinspoon.

Just saw all these 3 acts at the pyramid rock fest over new years and JBT & Rudd were new to me besides some of their songs played on the J's and totally blew me away ( and the rest 13-15,000 people there!)

Grinspoon, Like a good red, just keep getting better with age!

Tokyo & Kansai crew, JBT playing in March 8 & 9 i think.... go see it! spewing I can't get there..

They DO keep getting better? That song of theirs "Dead Cat" was enough to turn me off them years ago. John Butler Trio - Awesome!

Thanks for the heads up Indosnm - bushpig gave me a copy of JBT and they are awesome! Really love their stuff!!

Dead cat! Ha, funnily enough they didn't play the song! we were all screaming for it though!
Have you heard new detention or thrills, kills & sunday pills albums?

CB, I got a heap of JBT stuff, still trying to get to te osaka gig, but looking like a no go...

Kaiser Chiefs - my god it is boring. The sound belongs to the 80's.

Back to Bedlum by James Blunt is not bad but I bought a CD to be entertained, not to feel like at a funeral all the time.

Indo, Im gonna check for tickets taday or at least pick up a K.T.O. and see the exact dates of the show. Lemme know if you can make it eh? Some beers before hand will be a must!

Nightmares on Wax - "Mind Elevation".
This album is from a couple of years back but it is one of my favourites. I think they have a new album due out this year.

JTB in Osaka?? Keep me posted CB. I might even venture out of my hole in Hiroshima for that!

No Indosnm, I haven't heard any new stuff of theirs? Still a similar sound?

"Mind Elevation", I really liked that too, I'll have to dig it out again. Thanks for reminding me.

Mate, you know youd head straight to Kyoto so dont even give me any of that BS!!! :p

Nah mate! For JTB I would wait till AFTER the show for that! Might even be able to get an extra bum on a seat with us?? Never know...

alright, Ill inquire after 3 or 4 tickets then.

give me a heads up on date, price etc.

I saw 5800 yen on smash japan and it was marh 7th or 8th.
If you guys go and I can't... YOU SUCK!
bad point about living in Nags... bands usually skip us coz the crowds suck

You got plenty of time to change your schedule mate - you can even crash at mine if ya need.

Whats smash japan?
