So it’s been 3 or 4 days I have an half-assed cold and feel shitty…

So to keep in theme… a Japanese (who else) skinning a banana with his ass.

I know. It’s very classy.

Impressive snapshops of urban Japanese landscapes using high dynamic range.

They really look as if they were computer generated… They also have that Japanese anime look, don’t you find?

Click on the picture to admire them.

I don’t know what they put in the Big Mac sauce in Japan…

They’re creating quite a buzz. In October, they were featured in the Belle et Bum show and this morning, Patrick Lagacé shed some more light on them.

Singing in Japanese, on a rockabilly riff, when your family name is Hamel or St-Jean is rather unusual.

It’s nevertheless what is now launching the carreer of the Doux Cactus, a Montreal based band who sang in Japanese one evening, for fun, and ended up making a 8 song album in Japanese.

Having had a relative success with the nipponophone (did I just invent the word?) community, they even made a scouting trip to Japan where they did a couple of gigs and filmed a video.

Listen and watch their “Christmas” song. Play the video.

Of course, I’m partial from the start since there’s a horn section. On top of that, you know how I like Japanese junk.
