Jui Juis – จอมโจรขโมยใจ (Chom Chon Khamoi Jai)
One of my favorite Thai Indy bands, even though I only have one… Juijui took the iku iku iku / itai itai itai jokes of the pre K-pop peak to the next level; homeboy was basically a genius who could be very cringe, as my kids would say. This one is pretty amazing for a guy who doesn’t seem to have studied Japanese very much.

Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media – Funky Stuff (1975)
ファンキー・スタッフ稲垣次郎とソウル・メディア You may think you are cool… But you will be much cooler after you pour this in your ear and let it seep from your pores and permeate throughout your personal space. I mean, until you hear homie singing and humming along to the bass line, you really haven’t lived. This is what he looks like: Our storage room with all my Case Logic gear was flooded in October. So I’ve been going through the absolute mess made of my perfectly organized collection and listening to CDs for the first time in 20 years. There’s some real gems in there.

Lizter! Mashup

New Wave Pumpkins
How this video has so few views (11,802 as of writing this) is puzzling. The songs all kind of sound similar, but not overall, it’s too interesting to pass up: The same editor also has this gem up on their channel: One of the best bands of my university years in Japan!

Dr. Dre on the Lute
I played this in the background while grinding Chivalry II and it was glorious!
