The most recent live band I’ve seen was Franz Ferdinand, last November at Tokyo Koksai Forum. They were great, very punky/energetic. I pogoed (very) mildly. I would have liked to see Lady GaGa when she’s in Japan but her current dates are sold out-maybe next time! On the CD front, have really been enjoying The Bravery ‘Stir the Blood’, Soundtrack of Our Lives ‘Communion’ and Mutemath ‘Armistice’. And looking forward to new ones from Supergrass, Interpol and The Strokes. The Julian Casablancas (Strokes lead singer) solo album is fantastic too. I was also really pleased to pick up the latest New York Dolls album for 300 Yen at the weekend, a new import copy-was lucky to spot a CD sale when out shopping . Bargain! As always-too much music, too little time!
