Fujiwara rocks too, in my opinion.

hahaha - fujiwara rocks

just got back from fujirock country - might have passed u along the way.

2 things related to this here crossed my mind while away - coz you know , you're always on my mind.

one was, i'd hate to be thinking what you'd be doing , saying, becoming if by some twist of fate you had to live in say eskimo-land or aboriginal land in northern territory or something.

the other, after a too brief stop at takaragawa onsen, was that these things are enough to justify shinto's right to existence against any criticism, also that if this was the only thing japan had to offer, or not even actually offer just keep going with it, to the world it would still be more than enough - this i guess is a sort of extreme reduction of things ryuichi sakamoto's been saying not so long ago .

If I was assigned to cover a rock festival, I'd refuse the assignment. Even if I liked some of the artists performing there.

I mean, a rock fest is just... not human. And it also rarely rocks.

rock fest

abolutely, though i'd have to say (never been nor plan to go to fuji rock) that the there was some nice, very chilled folk in all the michi no eki on the way there. nothing rockist whatsoever; maybe marxy can fathom exactly how the outdoors equipament giants (backed by the yakuza?) are pulling all or at least half the strings here.

i'm not sure if refusing to go to fujirock when asked by your job is a 100% smart idea. (though it is dzima typing)
and there are good things like mogwai, broken social scene, buffalo daughter, guitar wolf, gnarls barkley, & ooioo.
there is a large quantity of "crap". but who is to say what is, and isn't crap? (or what is and isn't good?)

(though it is dzima typing)

Hello Trevor, nice way to introduce yourself with this snide comment!

I was basically saying I very much dislike large outdoor rock festivals and would never go to one again. Standing up in grass/mud for hours or days while being surrounded by thousands of (possibly drunk) people listening to loud and muffled music is not exactly my idea of entertainment, even if acts I like are playing.

But I'm sure Marxy is a very good boy and always does what he's told to do.

>But I'm sure Marxy is a very good boy and always does what >he's told to do.

i didn't know i had to introduce myself. i post from time to time. though normally don't get involved. but i host this damn thing.
work on killing the insane ammount of spam that comes around these parts.

and your just sorta a jack ass. (ok, not sorta. you are) but we a long time ago agree to not ban people. so we're stuck putting up with it. i've wanted to ban you so bad. you never have anything to add to the conversation other then jerk ass remarks.
granted i don't know you. so i can't hear you when i read you like i can with marxy. so, i may be getting it all wrong. but, based on what i've read. i don't like you (dizma.) and it doesn't help that you don't leave info like, a website or something. might as well just post as "anonymous". i would love to know more though. so maybe it would give some background to your bitchy morally superior style comments.

Trevor, I think if you ever gave in to your odd temptation to ban dissenting voices from someone else's blog, you'd be something of a jackass yourself. Not only would the traffic fall off dramatically, but all that would be left would be an unpleasant right wing cabal re-enacting, on a theoretical level, the plot of "Lost In Translation". With Marxy as Bill Murray, and everybody else as Scarlett Johansson.

good things like mogwai, broken social scene, buffalo daughter, guitar wolf, gnarls barkley, & ooioo.

sounds like 1998 indeed. (which further justifies marxy's acceptance) have a strong feeling that for most the festival is just a pretext for (shinto) outdoors activities.

trevor, are you a computer ?

Since this is a 'post-blog', I think that my comments are 'post-comments'. Sticking to the point here is basically pointless, we all know what the underlying discourse is.

Actually, I'd love to read about Marxy discovering not new evidence to support his old theories but how he got to the conclusions that base them. Why Japan, why 1998, why Shibuya-kei, why Nigo, etc, something more like Marxy Deconscruting NeoMarxisme.

It's funny that you and Marxy don't get me because Alin, r. and Sparkligbeatnic seem to get me pretty well. What happened over time was basically a snowball of "I don't get your sense of humour" game from both sides and now you two seem to have a pretty low opinion of me. I'm not sure whether I can change that now.

Having said that, I do think that NeoMarxisme is quite educational (when it's not too geeky) otherwise I wouldn't come back. So keep up the good work and Danica McKellar Forever!

ps: my website(s) is very googleable! But I don't think you'll like its content anyway.

Man, I wish *I* could break it down to Junior Senior live.

dizma> congrat's on being googlable. this is what i found.
http://www.dizma.net/
yeah, thats not so much my kind of site.

momus> way to jump to conclusions & assume. ace work. i mostly like the right wing style treat you threw in. cause ya, this blog needs all the traffic so it can make all the money it makes from all the ads that are on it.

alin> sometimes i feel like one. maybe i am?
and interesting that somehow my taste in music supports marxy's acceptence (of something). acceptence of what? doing his job?

trevor> nice piece of detective work on dizma... whoever the hell that is.

opps. typo tastic of me. its my one true foe.

Jeez, people.

shhh sensei will be back soon so we can continue with the pornographic culture readings.

Salute your shorts.
