_: live/UFO/kawaguchi

- On the 18th of July we managed to alleviate the pain of being by embarking to a live house and witnessing some rock. (The 18th of July is a half year for Malale if we want to take these things into consideration. One thinks of a prism, or a perfect point of rupture.)

- Kawaguchi Masami's New Rock Syndicate were playing at the UFO Club in Koeniji. Kawaguchi was the bassist on the Aihiyou albums (haino keiji's cover band) and seems to have graduated from haino-proximity to become a confident leader in the current avant-psych-rock-scene.

- The UFO club is a great basement spot with blue glowing bar, pretty tiny, nice strong cocktails, red curtains (liverpool beings can recall the magnet in happier times, reduce to a quarter of its size, and you would be within acceptable limits)

- New Rock Syndicate started playing with the curtains still drawn; unveiled the trio (slightly pictured above) in fetching spasm garage rhythms. Kawaguchi plays guitar with a fetching serene smile. A tiny-ish girl plays drums and a groovy-trousered man plays bass. An apprenticeship with haino keiji is evident when angular introductory solos are started, worried over, and extended; when the song breaks up and is carried on; when the end of the set comes and it is carried past ('alluvials' Kerouac called it) - the desperate approach to failure of haino does not happen, the risks are mild - but it is an approach to a New Rock with an ever expansive future. The smile and the freedom of things, as a benevolent sort of disharmony.

notes
- there is stuff on youtube that can be gazed at. I am not here to encourage laziness

- The recent death of jutok kaneko, elder of 70s sourced undergound guitar, may have something to do with the benevolent feeling of the inheritors, like the dark branches being cropped (see wikipedia for more)

- Sorry for the lack of exciting posts. In the second week of august at least 3 lives will be gone to and studied

who is me who me is

. . writes almost only only novella-ish lengthish fictions, and these fictions are almost only "science-fictional", or we can say "SFnal", this allows us to drop the science, and the fiction is not really obligatory also. But there is still something of a zone in which these fictions can be said to be placed, and "~nal . . . A 1979 birth. Lives somewhere in tokyo, that is in japan. How this all happened, I can't remember.

Sounds good. I like the sound of the club/bar.
You should do more of these. How is the music scene out there? Is stuff like this still for the 'outside' people? I know they love their J-pop. Are there still separate charts for the various musics?

Did you remove the Spicer post due to picture failings?
Alexis27 July 2007 at 19:25
Sorry. That was a lot of question marks in one comment. But I was interested. The muic scene over here, unless you really scrape around amidst the fag buts and crushed cans on sticky floor, mainly consists of skinny androgenous teen boys playing jerky inconsequential 'indie' (a term that has lost all meaning since the heady days of the chart show when it had its own separate section and actually 'was' independent) music, that has largely crossed over into the land of lads and ladettes.

the vanished post is being refurbished. i think i figured out what's what.
- No that music is not popular. there were about 10 people including other band members etc. They are more popular when they go abroad but not by that much. Most people want their music packaged nicely with celebrity endorsements and so on.
- I don't like these indie chaps right now, they make me a bit angry. It makes guitars seem redundant and makes me embarassed to say things about good guitar bands.
