September 3rd, 2008 a list of things i like right now


1. zazen ecstasy - shiina ringo


very excited about this right now, so it gets number one spot, regardless of whether the rest of the items are actually ranked in numerical importance. the concert was originally broadcast on the internet in 2000, but thankfully released as a dvd this year as part of the shiina ringo 10th anniversary celebrations. because damn, streaming video was absolute crap back then. and this concert is everything i admire about her persona at the turn of the century - fierce, axe wielding, and never spare with emotions. please view the trailer for more proof.


2. what does this read like to you?


EPROZE
ZYGORD
ZICUE
STLESS
ARMTH
FOOCA
DEDUE
CUEVE
HYBAA
CIGNQ
LIGHCA


my thought was “a random collection of vowels and consonants”, but actually they’re men’s clothing brands at zozotown.



3. rain vs mustache


i can’t stop listening and watching the pvs for both olivia’s rain and kimura kaela’s mustache. olivia’s pv is psychedelic down to the 70s eye paint and kaleidoscopes. oh man do i love kaleidoscopes - the ones you shake in the tube, and the ones that are computer generated… what program did they use to create the ones projected in the pv? as for kaela, i wonder how she is popular as she has quirky ugly haircuts, and doesn’t mind wearing a strapless dress by the inner ribbons underneath her bust. even if she is only playing one note lines on her guitar, she has some pretty good songwriters working for her…



4. mintia mints


well, maybe you could substitute some fruity kind of chewing gum, or tic tacs for them, since i get into this bad habit of constantly chewing. but i became kind of addicted to these mints while i was in japan, since they come in flavours like aqua spark (sort of soda-y) and mango. even if they don’t have a name full of innuendo like frisk mint, i can’t give up these candy flavours. i’m on my last box too. boo hoo!
