Parisian CheeseMuzak - from Japan
I found a CD by Kunitaka Watanabe recently and thought I'd share his music with the group. Rather than the Cheese-tastic Parisiana of 'L'escargot Aventure' I've chosen to get this ABBA cover stuck in your heads, mainly because I have that same boxed set that's sitting behind him on the piano in this video >: )
Japanophile Music Geekery Uber Alles
I'm still not sure if Kid 606 is actually from Caracas, but he is most certainly geekier than me. Check out the covers to some if his releases at Discogs.
P.S. I LOL very hard at "Songs About Fucking Steve Albini" :D
It's Millerite Time!
Judgement Day is apparently scheduled for May 21. Full details in my latest blog post.

TokyoPop's Bubble Bursts
TokyoPOP has thrown in the towel.
TokyoPOP shuts down it U.S. operations on May 1st. Who's next?
Bonus round:
Can anybody name any artist who broke through with a TokyoPOP book? Or for that matter a TokyoPOP book that broke through? Because I'm drawing a blank. The books published by Dark Horse had more cultural relevance in my opinion.
