I have very few copies left of The Heat fanzine.
$2 + $3 postage worldwide.
Mail me 5 bones to ebay AT crucialxtimes DOT com
I will take this post down once I run out of zines.
Cheers!
About 20 min from my house. Could not not go. I was really curious about the JUDGE karaoke band. I haven’t heard many good things about them so far so I was eager to check it out by myself.
I got to the venue at around 7:30 after work. Hooked up with the Swedenians. I was actually quite pissed off that I missed their shows yesterday and the day before. Abhinanda was one of my favourite bands from mid 90s. Jose is an ill geezer as are the rest of those chaps.
Abhinanda in a Cafe ~
After a nice chat, back to the venue.
My bros from FC FIVE ~ I enjoyed their set a lot more than I did BOLD for some reason. Weird.
After that BRINGIN’ IT DOWN.
John is not Mike so it didn’t sound anything remotely close to JUDGE but I had such low expectations of this experiment (from reading LWB reviews mostly where, aside from 2 or 3 Euros, no one really said anything positive about it) that I actually enjoyed it. John looked like he was into it and having a good time. The rest of the guys, too. Nevermind the gig, the best part for me was to listen to John and Gavin telling me a whole bunch of awesome stories like Gavin auditioning for The Misfits (dude dyed his hair black just for that), Smalley wanting to fight Porcell at the St. Mark’s, lots and lots of record collecting talk etc…
BOLD
It’s a shame Capone couldn’t make it. With just Matt, watching Bold was almost like watching BID. Kind of like another cover band. Nevertheless, it was a fun show except that I couldn’t stop thinking that Matt now looks so much like Tommy Lee Jones. Seriously.
To end this, the lad who was doing the BOLD/BID merch table, I think his name was Brian(?) (what up Brian!). I talked to him for a brief moment, very nice chap. Awesome Where The Wild Things Are tats.
A while back I got daikichi at a temple. Rare shit. Good luck. You don’t get those very often.
Also, saw this in Shibuya:
Other than that just the regular relaxation time with the cats… They don’t have to wear collars anymore and the stitches have been taken out so they are going back to being normal…
After some 2 year break we rolled in to Kaori’s for dinner. Hiroko did all the cooking, just like the last time and it was SUPER DELICIOUS!!!
THANK YOU!!! ★★★
I went there before work. I was meaning to go there all these time in the past 3 years and never really made it until now. It was amazing. I don’t really care for any weapons made after the battle of Sekigahara but anything that predates 1600 excites me a lot. Especially late Muromachi/Azuchi Momoyama times. That’s when swords were used as an actual tool not just an accesory like it was in Edo. Anyway, there was plenty for me to look at. Photos where not allowed but I sneaked one.
Both of them went to the hospital to get the chop.
I felt so bad for them.. This is just so fucking wrong to do that to an animal.
Then again, one day they would wanna fuck and make more of their own kind.
Either way, sometimes, life and making difficult choices in general sucks.
Mafe went though this a while back as well. Poor little sod.
Come to think of it, all of my cats are virgins. If the catholicism actually turns out to be working for all the mammals, not just humans, I guess I should still be worried about the miraculous virgin births though… I suppose the medicine will never have all the answers to all of our worries.
Slightly Stoned.
I found this in Shinjuku but at $100 it was slightly out of my affordable range. Insufficient funds, as the London cash points used to tell me all the time.
I would want to own this one day though. Cool record..
★ We go way back. You don’t wanna mess with us :)
We took Naoko’s grandma out for lunch. Uncle Jiro came as well. After that we rolled around the city, did some more record shopping and got back home in the evening. Grandma’s house is like 5 min walk away from the beach so I went out in the evening and took few photos of the ocean. It was pitch black so they are all 60-90sec exposures. You can’t really tell but the shit was violent. It was awesome how the big, 2-3m waves were crashing into those concrete cones. Brutal. Due to the long exposure it all came out kind of foamy and quiet but it wasn’t anything like that.
Japanese celebration of the fake NY. Year of The Tiger. Except that not yet.
Also, I discovered that Naoko really needs to catch up with the latest movie releases.
