Yuri Miyauchi (宮内優里) - coef

[deadgrandma]

For those interested, I been listening to the new Mariko Goto single over and over. You can watch the PV for "あたしの衝動" here

I quite like this new side to her, it's not far from the Midori sound but it is infinitely sweeter. Some may be put off by it being a bit too "kawaii" but I mean that's how she described the album anyway :-p

The Cure - Fascination Street

[thefro]

The Early Evening - The People

A couple of my good friends from high school. Not even close to their best tune, but it's the one they decided to make a video of for some reason.

Soutaiseiriron - 地獄先生

[Superficial Fan]

Baroness - Green and Yellow

Not particularly enjoying this, but I haven't liked them before either. Still, I was kind of hoping I would like it more since it moves away from metal so much (not that they weren't already half in/half out, with regard to metal). Some of the guitar sounds are nice, but not enough to keep my attention.

I'll give this a shot, I'll let you know what a Baroness fan thinks of it...

Though I'm still being crushed by Sa Dingding's latest... every listen just brings out more and more awesomeness... so much detail/layering... reminds me of when I started listening to KZK, Vespertine, Feedbacker or Kid A... fantastic.

EDIT: Listened to the new Baroness... first disc was alright- though pretty bland, second disc started off promising but then the boring hammer fell on its head. Pity really.

They released another song recently, but this one isn't downloadable like the rest. I suppose commercial releases may be afoot for the project soon.

Atashi no Shoudou sounds like "prismic-commune era YUKI". I ate that up too though- I listened to commune a lot when I got my hands on it in 2010. I digress, really like the song. I feel the rest of the album will still manage to come as a surprise to me.

I don't know how to translate it this properly but-
