Um... wow. Japan.
by Taylor McLaren 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

So I went to see Limited Express (Has Gone) in Kyoto last night... They were on a bill with the brilliantly-named Bathtub Shitter (who sadly turned out to be purveyors of lame cookie-monster metal) and four other acts: not bad for the relatively modest 2500-yen cover charge. (Only in Japan could I possibly consider a thirty-dollar cover "modest".) Anyway, Limited Express were peppy as all hell. That huge toothy grin (or is it a grimace?) on Yukari's face on the back cover of the Tzadik album isn't an exaggeration, either... she's one of the most obscenely smiley people I've ever seen, and looked positively thrilled to be up on stage in front of a crowd of 50 or so, flailing and yelping away the whole time. Iida did a whole lot of bellowing, too... the show was a whole lot more conducive to hopping around and having fun that the CD is. The really odd moment of the night, though, was when... actually, I'm not even sure what they were called, but their name has something to do with shrimp... this group of people in white shirts, black ties, and gimp masks came out and started dragging their gear up on stage. At first, just based on the masks and the pointlessly loud metal band that had preceded them, I was expecting something Haters-ish... and then they brought out their wooden keyboards (what are those huge xylophone things called, anyway?) and a Chapman stick. And then they disappeared, only to reappear with elaborate shrimp masks (glowing orange eyes and all) on their heads and a bunch of whirring, buzzing hand percussion toys, marching through the crowd making a noise like a swarm of cicadas between them. The overall effect of their set was somewhere between the Residents (for sheer deliberate weirdness), Crash Worship (clattering, ritualistic percussion and dancing), and Primus (the slapped and bowed bass was pretty damned cool). This description doesn't really do them justice, but there's a brief video sample up at their web site at http://www.digipark.co.jp/D-Shrimp/ (check out the fifth link, for their promotional movie). I can't wait to see them again... they're playing a bit closer to home next month, and I'll definitely be there. This is such a weird country. -me PS: Efren, drop me a line... I can't find your address anywhere.

re:Radio Weirdness

i dont know why it happened, but its been happening to me for years. >>>>>>>>>My friend was changing his guitar the other day when we discovered something interesting. When he touched the metal on the guitar we heard radio coming from the amp. We got the AM station 1430 coming out of the guitar amp! We figured that it was some how related to the Boss distortion pedal (the orange one), since we were using ourselves as the antenna without the guitar and the level knob was changing the radio frequency. Any one know why this happened? Zach

Re: terry gross and gene simmons/curtis wright

I was talking with a friend of mine last night about the curtis wright book and the conversations about terry gross on this list, and he told me that at one time gene simmons gave a completely outrageous interview on fresh air in which he insulted terry gross numerous times, stating that she would probably look sexier if she wore a skirt, and that perhaps if she did so it would be easier to tolerate her boorish questions. Is anyone else familiar with this anecdote?

Best guitarist
by mod bohemian 02 Aug '03

02 Aug '03

My money goes to the Grammy-nominated Gary Lucas. Not only can he tackle about any genre, but he does so exceedingly well. His fingers must contain bullets to move as fast as they do across the frets. Has anyone here ever seen him in concert? _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

2nd person and guitarists
by ahorton 02 Aug '03

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Jsdfjk Bwsefhjkler in guitarists! (you pretentious fucks! :) ) But seriously, one of my favorite guitarists is Marc Ribot because of just how understated his playing is. He never wanks all over songs, instead choosing to put choice, often simple patterns into songs. He could just get up there and do 19-finger, two-testicle tapping on 128-th note runs, but instead he just plays those nice little understated junkyard riffs that so perfectly compliment Tom Waits, etc. 2nd Person Books: My favorite series of second-person books is the "Choose your own adventure" series. "You wake up in a small, damp cave. Outside, you hear rushing water. There's a lightbulb hanging on a string and a rotary hatch on a door." "If you open the hatch, turn to page 27. If you investigate the light bulb, turn to page 23." :) andrew
