Thanks man, I'm finally finding time and energy to attempt at a few sifts every now and then. Just got a kitten, so that's got me a little busy and entertained, but work isn't as busy (double-edged sword, that), so I have a bit of free time once again, lol. How have you been doing?

1. Journey - Good Morning Girl

2. The Cure - Disintegration
Stopped to listen to this one all the way through, even though I usually just write down the track name and skip on with these things.

3. Talking Heads - Girls Want to Be with the Girls
Haha, had to listen to this one too.

4. the pillows - Beehive
Live version ripped from the bonus DVD of their latest live concert release, Blue Song With Blue Poppies. They actually stopped in the middle of the song because Sawao forgot the lyrics, then started fresh and rocked it really hard. Wish I could have seen this show.

5. ELLEGARDEN - Surfrider Association
Opening track from BRING YOUR OWN BOARD!! Love these guys. They sound like typical pop punk at a quick listen sometimes, but if you actually give a whole album a chance, you realize that they're fantastic musicians and a huge cut above the drudge that fills up their genre.

6. Pavement - Elevate Me Later
I actually haven't ever paid attention to this track before, but I really love the intro.

7. Ling Tosite Sigure - 鮮やかな殺人 (The Vivid Murderer)
Self-produced demo take, hell fucking yes. Raging, screeching Telecaster guitar solo, rumbling bass lines, and a huge range of dynamics.

8. ART-SCHOOL - LOST IN THE AIR (Tony Doogan mix)
Fan-fucking-tastic song. This mix has more presence to the bass guitar than the original, which creates for a much more atmospheric song. I like very much.

9. GING NANG BOYZ - 駆け抜けて性春 (The Youth Running Past)
God I love this song. Crazy but catchy Japanese punk rock. They record all of their instruments at one go in the studio rather than layering it instrument by instrument, giving a raw, live sound to all their recordings. I wish all rock musicians did this.

10. People in the Box - Paper Trip
Great song, off my favorite album by them.

You've come a long way, dude. For those about to sift, we salute you!

I was just taking a walk down memory lane by watching your Ging Nang Boyz video again, and I noticed in the comments section that ant requested a translation of the lyrics. You politely supplied them, and then ant politely downvoted it. There's a lesson to be learned here: All future translation requests from ant should read something like "Ants are the best / Fuck all the rest..." or "Ooh LadyBug, my LadyBug / I need you, oh how I need you..."
You get the idea.

I still downvote stuff that I don't like.

Ah well. You could have just not voted if it's just because you don't like the music style and sexuality, but whatever, lol.

In reply to this comment by ant:
I didn't like the music video: 1) Punk and 2) Too much sexual in it.


In reply to this comment by JAPR:
also, why did you vote against it? D:
