Here are song songs that I have been listening to today. The list will be updated as the day goes on.
Polysics
Here’s a song called Modern. Fuck I love the Polysics! They sound like Devo on overdosing on crack cocaine. They are fast, loud, hard, and feature lots of keyboard. Plus the louder you play them the better they sound. About as polar opposite as you can get from Tommy February6.

Halcali
Halcali are a two-piece hip hop group out of Tokyo. The best way I can describe them is being the hip-hop equivalent of PuffyAmiYumi. While some Japanese hip-hop invariably sounds whack, these two 15-year-olds (yes, 15) have skills on the mic. Hear how they play off each other at speeds rivaling Busta Rhymes in the song Osutukare summer.

Communication
The song Communication originally appeared on Yuki’s incredible album Commune which came out early last year. It is probably my favourite song off the album even though it was never even a single. So it’s interesting to hear a cover of it no less than a year later off Suneohair’s album Fuyo No Tsubasa. While most of his album is pretty boring pop/rock the cover of Communication is a standout. Most likely because he didn’t write the damn thing. I still prefer the Yuki version though. Here’s Yuki’s version. Here’s Suneohair’s version. Also worth listening to is the song Sentimental Journey off Yuki’s Commune.
