I heard this song again on the radio (yes, that box in the car music comes out of) and I thought I’d post it. Yes, I had this on vinyl. When that was the only way albums came out. Well, except for cassette.
Let My Love Open the Door, Pete Townshend

SMELL, Atsushi Sakurai/Yasuyuki Okamura

Okay, so this song. Space Dandy was playing on Funimation, and it had a pretty interesting OP song, Viva Namida, by Yasuyuki Okamura. But on the album, this was one of the included songs. I heard it pop up during a drive to work and I thought, man, that song sounds kinda dirty. Not the version I linked to is by Atsushi Sakurai, who apparently wrote the lyrics and Yasuyuki Okamura did the music. Which means he did a cover on his later album. Sadly, I cannot find the version from the Space Dandy album on YouTube or Soundcloud, but here’s a link on Spotify: SMELL.
I looked at the lyrics.
Yeah. It’s kind of dirty, but good-naturedly so, and the music will just get in your head and live there. Like, forever. You’ve been warned.
And Space Dandy? I only watched a few episodes. Not because it wasn’t funny or or anything. I just really don’t like Funimation’s iPad app. If you want to watch anime on your iPad, get a subscription to Crunchyroll. Their app is top-tier as far as UI and user experience and they have a decent selection of new and old anime.

You know when you’re driving down the road and you hear a song that just sandblasts the years off you? Instead of feeling old, you feel like you did when you first heard that song?
Yeah.
Ballroom Blitz, Sweet

Durarara!!x2 Shou is well underway, and I have to say, I really like the opening song. It’s hard to compare this to the first opening from the first series by Theatre Brook. But this is pretty damn good.
Headhunt, Okomoto’s

I’ve been obsessed with the Talking Heads for the last week. So here’s a song.
Stay Up All Night, Talking Heads

Been a while since I’ve added a song. Here’s one from Durarara!, an anime that I’m currently binge-watching.
First the short one, the one you see when the show starts.
Uragiri No Yuuyake, Theatre Brook
And now the full song:

Here’s the opening song to one of my favorite anime from last season, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. It’s upbeat and bouncy, and I may as well start the new year with with a positive attitude.
Kimi Ja Nakya Dame Mitai, Masayoshi Oishi

Whenever I hear Pomplamoose do a cover of a pop song, I’m always amazed at the musical dexterity. But when I see the music video–well, this one totally floors me.
Pharrell Mashup, Pomplamoose

One of my favorite groups to come out of Japan is JUDY AND MARY. This song in particular, is amazing. If you don’t speak Japanese (and I understand maybe every 10th word), the songs seems pretty upbeat. But look at the lyrics. And then feel yourself break into a hundred sharp little pieces.
Also, the lead singer, Yuki? かわいいですね
This first versions is kind of sort of live.
This one a more traditional music video.
Song 20141123
This is not my song.
Though it is a song I am familiar with,
One that I associate with my dad and his era.
He lived through World War II.
Though,
As I understand it,
He served in the Merchant Marines
And never saw combat.
He didn’t talk about it much.
You Always Hurt the One You Love
Not sure why I thought of this song tonight, or about my dad.
