Sally is back from Japan holiday. I under estimated Skyrim taking up my time, so unfortunately, I barely had time to put this show together. This is only part one – which is basically shows we’re seeing this week and it’s mostly about Japan. If I’m not too busy next week, I will put up the rest of the recording, which will be mostly about Sydney Festival – that is taking place in 2012, so I have a whole month and a half to get to it!

Here’s what went down:

Sally’s new toy is an Otomachine

Dance boy and girl bands are what’s popular in Japan

Getting around in Japan/friendly and polite Japanese/mystery of the free tissues

Sally saw some local Japanese bands, including The Lavless

11/12/11: Sally will at The Lansdowne Hotel, featuring Peabody, Betty Airs, Go/No Go, New Brutalists. Sally’s theory of Go/No Go’s secret origin of their name. Vu will be doing a double-show that day. Played a bit of the band Guards.

11/13/11: Not attending Harvest Festival or Lykke Li.

Song of the show is Arctic Monkeys’ “Piledriver Waltz”, from their new album, Suck it and See. Previously reviewed here.
