Contact with that stuff often causes an uncomfortable rash in unreachable places. On the nights after prolonged exposure I find myself waking from somnambulistic excursions in the garden trying to scratch the after images off of my eardrums with a broken twigs. I missed an opportunity last night to catch a rather ripe specimen of the SmapXSmap sound from their weekly television show. My girlfriend was watching it and, even though she is a Japanese woman, and therefore has the incredibly high bullshit threshold that is an indigenous trait, even she couldn't stand yesterday's episode and had to switch it off because it causing her pubic hairs to go straight. So it may take a week or so but I should soon be able to share the torment of the SmapXSmap with all of you lucky people. Next monday night will find me at the ready with my video tape in the VCR. Have faith soon you too will suffer. Retch and roll forever. >Your descriptions really sounded hilarious, and we don't have any >japanese music at all over here. Well actually you do. There are also absolutely wonderful Japanese artists and some that are not exactly Japanese but make Japan Their base. My good friends eX-girl have just embarked on their 2002 European tour. Although they look and speak remarkably like three Japanese girls (and that is always a good thing) eX-Girl are not actually from Japan but are from the planet Kero-Kero where there is music but there are no musical instruments. They have been on earth for about for years and within three months of arriving here and picking up musical instruments for the first time they were out doing the club circuit. Their albums are available in Japan Europe and the US. They are more fun than a barrel full of rubber crutches and are truly a must see. There may be more details about their exact whereabouts on their website http://0505.net/ex-girl/. If you are interested you'd better check it out fast though because their tour has already begun.
