APW's Ipod

Pubes recommended this album. Yuya Uchida started the band when he returned to Japan after visiting his friend John Lennon. They started off as a cover band and this is their first original album.
Get the album Satori.

Polysics

When I was in Japan I would spend hours in the music store listening to everything that was on the free listeners. I found a lot of crazy music. Some of it crazy/good and some of it crazy/bad. I didn't end up buying anything however. When I came home I looked all of the bands up on the interweb. Since I was in Japan most of those band have come here and played shows or I've at least read about them in a magazine or something. The one band that never came to the US was the Polysics. They also were/are one of my favorite Japanese bands. They're basically the Japanese Devo. And, they're more than happy to acknowledge that.

This is one of there videos from 2005.

If you like what you hear click here to get their album, Karate House.

APW's iPod

As usual my iPod doesn't contain the hippest, coolest, newest most groundbreaking music. This band, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, has been around since 1997. They play folky country music with punk rock roots. Their stickers have caused at least a few "problems" when spotted on their fans bicycles. Check out their album, Front Seat Solidarity, here

APW's Ipod

I said I was going to do this regularly but fuck you I've been busy. Here's the newest album by The Artist who can not be named on the internet. As with most of his more recent work some of the songs are amazing and some of them are total crap. The mellow more loungy songs are the one's I like. Some of the more upbeat songs sound like they should be in a car commercial or a cheesy movie.
