"this noise is meaningless, but if a word were given to it...people suddenly give some sentiment or value to the noise"

Blues Du Jour is an absolute masterpiece! Tori Kudo is a genius!

"Speed to the spoils, Hasten to the prey" is what Maher Shalal Hash Baz means. It was the name of one of Isaiah's sons.

As complex as a Persian carpet and as rough as a hemp sack. Song as frangible as a cobweb, told in mayfly seconds. The timing’s off, the timing’s on. The tuning’s theirs. Harmonics held in check, then folded forward, broken open in teetering arrangements of trumpet, saxophone, euphonium, organ haze, stalking bass, ecstatic guitar, crumbs or crescendos of piano, the ticks of a trap set - in marches and miniatures, ballads and blow outs, primitive folk filigree and pretty pop patterns. An affecting, affectless voice in Tori Kudo, plain, direct; a bare, barely-there whisper in Reiko Kudo, high, unattached. I have examined them live many times, close-up in tiny spaces, and their distance and mystery prevail like a Jōmon pot behind museum glass. In this world but not entirely of it.

He seems so friendly!

It's nice to hear a bit of Bill Wells playing with MHSB. Their CD Gok is well worth a listen although it is only about 35 minutes long. However, the track Banned Announcements is currently being used on a Sharwoods advert on UK television. Tori seems an interesting and likeable chap, thanks for posting.

This is when I could still consider watching MTV.

[@benedictmarco6242]

I know it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?

[@samuelclemens8361]

This was on MTV?!? I don't remember MTV ever being cool enough to show something like this. Not since the early 90's anyway.

[@Beetoe]

@@samuelclemens8361 Yes, this was an MTV show, from the Nordics

[@Beetoe]

@@samuelclemens8361 I'm pretty sure there was a Tenniscoats episode too

あるインタビューで灰野敬二は、ピーター・ペレットはリチャード・ヘルやトム・ヴァーレインと違ってわざとらしい声を作らず地声で歌っているから好きだ、と述べていたが、マヘルの工藤の歌を聞いてなるほど、と納得した。

[@negrosaurus]
