Nisennenmondai – Destination Tokyo

Nisennenmondai – Destination Tokyo

I was planning to send something else, but I’ve just returned from a gig of a really cool band and I wanted to share the experience.

The performance was by the Japanese band Nisennenmondai.

Explanation in their own words:

we are 3piace girls band from tokyo japan since 1999.
nisennenmondai mean “computer bug problem”.
“bijin record” since 2006 are self rabel.
“bijin” mean butiful man and women.

Guitar-takada　Bass-zaikawa　Drums-himeno

The girls are playing instrumental electronic stuff while using the “normal” rock instruments, with some help of the sampler-pedals under the feet of Takada.

Great music. Great performance.

Enjoy!

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer Cover

José González -- Veneer

After a week break for some good times and some sun in Israel, another Monday is upon us.

Today’s main feature is José González, a Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter of Argentine descent.

The song ‘Heartbeats’, from his first album, Veneer, is a cover of a song by fellow Swede duo The Knife.

The special for today is Readiohead’s latest video clip, ‘House of Cards’ [from the album In Rainbows], which was done without lights or cameras, but with the use of a 3d scanner. Released last week, this is a unique collaboration between programmers and musicians, and with Google Code as the Host.

Enjoy!
