I understand that j-rock bands are generally obsessed with youth, but few of them I feel capture the ambivalent sweatiness of adolescence quite like Number Girl.

Very energetic song with a vocalist who sounds like he's singing from a phone receiver placed on the opposite side of the room from the rest of the band.

Something about this just really turns me off, gives me the ick. Weirdly dystopian

This really was how Asian Kung-Fu generation burst into the scene. Unmatched raw energy on display here, the likes of which couldn't possibly be replicated by Gotoh-san on account of him singing like this for years, and also cigarettes probably. Early to mid 2000s Ajikan really was the shit.

Some Nick Drake warmth for the winter nights (winter isn't a thing here, but I still feel a metaphorical chill as the end of the year approaches)

The guy in the room next to mine takes phone calls in the middle of the night despite the paper-thin walls between us. To get back at him, I will now blast emo music at full volume. Bro thinks he can sleep-in on the weekends. Nuh-uh

What happens when you live in harmony with shrimp

Shrimp are the only civilized creatures in the ocean, surrounded on all sides by enemies who want to destroy us

I'm against the death penalty as it is simply because I don't believe the government should be able to decide who is and isn't worthy of life





Therefore, the business of executions should be delegated to for-profit corporations

Is it weird that this is one of my favorites off of Blue? It's just so wistful, it's like I'm really there, I'm really Jonas, and I'm carrying the wheel, even.

I feel like the rule enforcement here has gotten a lot more lax lately, yet at the same time, you don't see as many absolutely deranged posts

Rewatched Night is Short, Walk On Girl. Only felt right after finishing The Tatami Galaxy, though I first saw the former way before I did the latter.

Incredible movie. Like Yes Theory by way of Durarara, in an ocean of booze. Unmatched lively atmosphere, lived in by an endlessly endearing cast of characters and one hell of a protagonist. It's also good knowing who all the cameos are this time.

Light to decent 9.

Tired of Mariah Carey? If so, krill yourself.

But also, ho ho how about some obscure indie rock for Christmas? Whether you're already in the nice list, naughty list, or the list, this one will put you firmly in Shrimp's cool kids list.

In a way, discovering niche artists is like childhood Christmas.
