Both La! Neu? and Dingerland have been inactive since 2001. Klaus Dinger's next planned project is a re-recording of La Düsseldorf's most successful album, Viva, using Japanese musicians.

i will never stop being amazed at their (in)ability to appropriate american culture.

also tommy lee jones and cameron diaz are prostituting themselves in some ads.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean that's not a failed attempt but what's up with calling a clothes shop "rocker and hooker" and selling bland clothes?

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

tomorrow i'm going to try buying the ps3. (trying as in tokyo it takes fucking forever to leave your flat and getting somewhere.)

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

no, its a meiji era invention. ask jack cole or erin carruthers about maneki neko.

nath, where do your folx live?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Nakameguro. It's such a GREAT neighbourhood! They used to live in Shirokanedai, but that was just so fucking boring. No Japanese restaurants and just... well nothing. Whereas Nakameguro is ACE. I can understand they never want to return to belgium.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

nice, there are some killer clothes and record shops in nakameguro.

i think there's an APC outlet around there too.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I saw one recordshop. Didn't really check it out that well, maybe next time. I'll probably be back in six months time. You staying in Japna at the moment?

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 8 February 2007 10:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Not even bro, I am in California, dude!

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

ah crap. or maybe not. did you like it in japan?

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Tokyo's nice, but I like Kansai prefecture much better. Better food, music, art, shopping, fashion, record stores, etc. People are a lot more laid back and friendly too.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

At the sushi restaurant the cook came up to talk to me. He was from Kansai. Fucking hard to understand what he was saying. I mean, shit, my Japanese is pretty basic, but I can usually getthe gist of what a Japanese person is saying. But I know what you mean, Kansai people are much friendlier.

Hakone was amazing however.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 8 February 2007 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

That's great. Next time you meet a person from Kansai at a restaurant (esp. a chef!) say "kuidaore!"

Book Description
The Ganzfeld returns with a special issue devoted mostly to Canadian and Japanese artists. From Japan, legendary animator and designer Keiichi Tanaami contributes a 20 page section of new work. Cartoonists King Terry, Shigeru Sugiura, Yuichi Yokoyama, and Tanioka all are represented with substantial amounts of their work printed in English for the very first time. This nearly 80- page section will be a manga-lover's delight. Also featured in the Japan section is EYE (from the Boredoms). From Canada, Marc Bell, Julie Doucet, Scott Evans, Marc Connery and Destroyer's Dan Bejar will all be featured. From beyond Japanada, artist Jim Shaw contributes a section of his visionary dream drawings, British illustrator Will Sweeney is featured with a brand new comic story, and the issue is filled out by articles on record cover designer Barney Bubbles (The Damned, Elvis Costello), mushrooms, and Steve Gerber (the creator of Howard the Duck).
