Marxy on New Beikoku Ongaku CD

vol23.gifThe new issue of Japan's premier indie music magazine Beikoku Ongaku is finally out on stands, and the compilation CD included with the issue features the Marxy track "Neoplasticism vs. de Stijl," along with songs from Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, Quantic, From Bubblegum to Sky, New Buffalo, and many others. Traditionally, Darla distributes the magazine outside of Japan, so hopefully it will be available to the West shortly.

What is your conclusion on Japan's fate, based on this information? Doom postponed by a year or two?

I love how as soon as you start using Japanese you slip into crazy Japanese ad speak - "The new BeikokuOngaku, number 23 is on sale!" - exclamations and all. It's interesting how languages can alter personal nuances.

Ha ha. Maybe so. Although I don't have to explain what Beikoku is in Japanese nor talk about Darla.

Well, I think it shows how compatible critique of marketing is with marketing, the same way communism is often surprisingly compatible with capitalism (see Shanghai).

I thought "Momus" was a greek god and not a usenetian troll.

We obviously have different definitions of "troll".
