oh! it was pretty good, but not great. jon was very disappointed! tonight we'll see pantha du prince. i feel like dancing!

Hey Haraco!! sorry about the late reply, I haven't logged in for a while but I'll start checking this again from time to time. Thanks for getting in touch, I hope yr well!! I really like that video with Jim O'Rourke, its ace!!! I have been going to quite a few shows recently, I actually caught Nissenenimondai's London show a few weeks ago. I also saw Ruins collaborate with Acid Mothers Temple last week. You should check out 'Gum takes Tooth'.....they're one of my favorite London bands at the moment, listen to 'young mustard' on they're myspace. http://www.myspace.com/gumtakestooth What Japanese bands can you recommend? Anything new from Tokyo?

hello haraco :)...listen your library again & again & again :::::: i feel that i know you from before ::: haha reflect our music ::::::::::::::::::::

hey hey, hi there far! mini diana is marvelous :b i'm gonna get one too!

Harco! So thanks! You are awesome!! Well, I'm half japanese and half american, but i grow up in Japan. Kamakura. I was Tama art university student but now, i'm in Helsinki to study new sounds in media art. What about you? Of course i love Nam Jun. But I'm not really know about him. I made new piece work on web. Hope you like this. http://www.open2key-sym.com/

Thanks! Haraco< I'm so happy you like my works. So much thanks. But how you got my web? Do we know each other? I'm curious about u.

Taico! Actually it's my favourite party, but I missed it again this year...did you go to the one in kawasaki last year? That was good too!

Thanks haraco! Love your library. And yeah, Luke Abbott's new album is great!

sorry it took me sooooo long to reply. yes! love now. have seen them a few times, they are friends of mine. have you seen them yet?

hey Haraco sorry about the late reply, thanks for recommending those authors, I do really love Japanese literature so anything new is very exciting, I'm going book shopping this week so I'll be sure to pick up some of their stuff _ I'll let you know how I get along. If I was to recommend a western writer I'd say Phillip Roth, I'm really into his stuff at the moment. When I was in Japan I really went all over the place, I spent a week in tokyo then took the train all the way up to Hokkaido, from there I headed back south to Aomori and then further down to Kyoto, Osaka and Kyushu. I made loads of other stops as well, one of my favorite places was Kamikochi where I done a lot of hiking. From Kyushu I traveled all the way back up to Tokyo where I spent another week. Last weekend I was at the 10th Anniversary of ATP, its a festival we have here in the UK and NY. I saw Afrirampo who were brilliant, they were my favorite act with Lightning Bolt, they both completely stole the show.

it was cool! a nice pair of evenings. the makino/o'rourke film we showed was 'elements of nothing' great stuff.

Sachiko M I know, I listen it) Toru Takemitsu Did not hear. It will be necessary to listen,)

:)

Tim Hecker dude!) Yes, I did not long ago went to the concert Ben Frost and Lawrence English,. It was very cool)

thanks harako - for accepting and listening x

Hi:) I recommend Andrey Kiritchenko, Zavoloka, Gultskra Artikler and Denis Zabavsky,)

hey that looks like an interesting exhibition, I was listening to 'Dreams' from his new Jazz ensemble, I like it a lot! A few years ago I was in Japan, I stayed for two months and I loved it, I found so many interesting creative outlets. I reckon I'll try and make a return visit soon, maybe even try and live there for a while! Oh the Soundtrack that Otomo Yoshihide composed for kitchen was brilliant but the actual film was a disappointment, its based on a novel by Banana Yoshimoto, it's a beautiful story _ if you haven't read it you should give it a go. I reckon my one of my favorite bands in London at the moment has to be 'Shit and Shine', they consist of four to six drummers and two guitarists _ a bombardment of static noise, drone and drums, possibly one of the best live acts I've seen! They've just released a new album 'Girls against Shit' which is by far their best material so far, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8qImvmYkN0

hey I don't actually know much about otomo yoshihide apart from that he composed the Kitchen soundtrack, I have heard loads of good things though so if you could recommend somewhere to start that would be ace! Have you listened to Olaibi? it's one of Yoshime P's side projects, they're all about the drum which I love _ unlike OOIOO they've taken much more of an early ethnic influence on board.

was very good! He made some interesting melodies and rhythmically is very specialist.

hey hi from London _ yeah Ive seen nisseninmondai play a few times, I love them so much especially the drummer. Never seen OOIOO, they played at one of the ATP's a while back but unfortunately I was away. I am seeing Afrirampo play this December which I'm excited about! wow we have super in common, if you have any recommendations then please pass them on....
