And the fourth one already. This time again a female singer, and again something I haven’t posted before. I discovered つるうちはな (Tsuruu Chihana) a few months ago when a friend told me about her and showed me a live performance of her on some outdoor festival, and I was immediatly hooked.

As promised earlier, a second SotD today. Today a new song by one of my favourite bands. テルコハイメン (Terucohaimen) has been very quiet lately, but earlier this year, all of a sudden a new live-clip of a brand-new song of them appeared online, and boy, I’m back in love with them again.

First of is by a female fronted band called S.H.E., which stands for Struggle-Head,Emergence. This band is already a personal favorite fo mine, and I guess I’m [...]

Do something completely different? Making it more personal or just do [...]

The Japanese post-rock band toe has made public that their van, which was stuffed with equipment, was stolen last night. They’ve loaded the silver Toyota at 8 PM local time yesterday, and when they went back this morning, they’ve noticed that everything was gone. The total value of the missing equipment, including a Mac Pro [...]
