I spent a lot of the day in traffic

i was trying to figure out what the fuck virus buster serge was and i found a youtube clip of Japanese TV commercials and it started with a commercial for a song by Dragon Ash (I was like, hey! like, battle royale?) that has the lyrics, “rainy day and day yeah YEEAAAH you don’t FACKING go awaaay”, which entertained me.

(i can’t be sure, but it sounds like it starts with “rainy day and day yeah WHY DON’T YOU CRY MOTHER FUCKER!”)

Oh man Dragon Ash, right before I made the Battle Royale connection (what was the name of the ending song
My Friends?) I happened to buy a couple cds from a con man’s (as in convention dealer) recommendation: “oh you dig J and want some raps? U like this!”

Picked up that ^ album, the one with their name written in DRAGON QUEST font and Viva La Revolution. Still love 'em even though I realized at least for a while, they were straight up aping Smashing Pumpkins sound + thunder chugg rap rock.

Hell yeah I’d have to dig back for what I really liked but looking around yt now there’s some stuff I remember:

Love that stretch-looped sample

Hard to find the exact details on this one now but it has members of Dragon Ash Rip Slyme and I think 1-2 other groups:

There’s already super Pumpkins sounding guitar and production work in their 90s stuff, when I heard this sample Today was like
aight no shame

Honestly I’d occasionally find them bit too blatantly cornball ripping from western styles but so is the way of things overall, I kinda feel an obligation to upload some discs (even if they might get struck down)

You’ve reminded me again of music for, not exactly existing Giallo

And shiiiiit! in rare form I let this release slip by. Tetragrammaton it’s good.

Bass God Tal Wilkenfeld came out with a new album where she writes and sings and doesn’t always play bass. Pretty nice little grunge vibe, here:

*Nah, let’s listen to H.E.R.
