No but I know lots of Japan. One of my school friends lives in shibuya. It's allways toyland (the six floor toy shop), tokyu hands for silly presents and selectadisc for records. + the all night darts is great near the naughty district. |

I get most CDs from Cisco. Darts? I never played. Where do you live? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cisco is ok but you should check selectadic next time. |
||||||||
|

OK, thanks. Do you like Boards of Canada? |

so pig face is really terrible?? i think here it would be fairly comic....at least amongst mates. i think spanish is the filthiest language bar none espeically in south america. for example standard greeting amongst friends may even oiiii wassup motherfucking son of a bitch puff/fag , calling someone a gay/fag amongst friends is a positive believe it or not , which belies the homophobic-ness of most young uns there....well under 21s anyways.........further examples the verb used for stuff it - is a play on fisting..harh./// maybe its jus because i was chilling in the ghettos. you should play darts just to be in league with this man. http://www.chessbase.com/news/2005/kosteniuk07.jpg champion of the world! i just wrote andy fordham acid. on a real 303/909/808 joint bitches. |

What's wrong with Canada? It's american but not idiotic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and if you like Boards of canada so much you should check out Skam records , in particular; bola , gescom [for the low slung dirty beats] , qunioline yellow , the mask series... just never buy a record by tycho , ever , EVER. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ee? The band. Not "Canada" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks. I will try. |
||||||||

LOL @ Tycho comments. :D |

you seem competent to answer this; what's/where's the importance of the skampler? (this is a serious question). |

hey, check, i found an old pic of boc fellows; |

do you mean when taken as a standalone CD or as in the impact of its contents at large ? in anycase for me it defines the early SKAM sound - crunchy beats with a heavy hip hop foundation in terms of riddim - see the gescom tracks..... the playful melodies juxtaposed with elektro 808 style beats ( lego feet ) bola being bola and of course fucking everything you do is a balloon and so forth which brings us back do our friends Boards of Canada!! i really love it , it seems like a real statement of intent , but its not really "up to date" as it lacks doyobi , qunny , A&E , 76ix , meam and so forth....... but yeah there is such a purity and authenticity to the sound - you know they do it cuz they love it - and the skampler kinda sums up the earlier days of the label , mood and all... but obviously its all offa various 12"s so really its records like the early gescom , hi scores , bola , MASK etc which define skam for me.... it was originally intended to be a usa only thing [1998], so perhaps for some USA denziens it might mean a whole lot more... i can only imagine hearing it with no previous reference points! all said its a fucking top compliation , ideal to sit back with a joint and just ...you know ,rinsin' it. |

well, i was thinking both really. those are some nice views/thoughts there, thanks! (i have to write an essay on it, about 4, 5 pages..) |
||||||||

amazing!dude all i got was godamn shakespeare and hitler for essays...... what are you studying/doing it for ?? would gladly help out with anything more , as i'm on a "gap year" or rather making music and taking drugs year , so im free as a a metaphorical bird. i reckon a bit of a sticky point though is deffo the fact that its pretty much all stuff that was on 12"s so from a music history point of view its not really anything new , just a summary of skam doing what they do...i reckon the artwork is something to look at - all matt black with just a sort of indented skampler logo and the brail - classic// espicially as this is the antithesis of what a compliation should do...no hello we are skam and we do blah blahl balhal .... plus the insert feautres a really mundane sort of ... piss hole of a room - i think something skam like is using the mundane - like quinoline yellows cd smelling of a portable toilet.... turning motor engines into crazy odd images , meam mashing up some bloke sitting in a chair with fit inducing strobe visuals.... i really sense the same sort of purity that a band like the fall have in classic skam stuff...i know the sound is nothing alike ...id have to think about it a bit more but just think mark e smith would chat shit about anyold crap and equally gescom will use / create a sample which is basically a crappy sound like a dirty eeeeeeeeek or squeeel or some shit and revolve an entire track around it! same sort of ethos i reckon...... big up manc! |

thanks again. it's for a radio show - a show where various compilation albums are presented.. |
||||||||

|
|
Konichiwa, Emiko-san, I'm thinking of going to live in Tokyo. Can you recommend any good clubs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sure, most big shows are at Akasaka Blitz, but I like smaller club like Bullets and Yellow in Nishiazabu. There are lots of little clubs in Shibuya and Shinjuku, also. When will you go? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to go in January, but I haven't lined up any jobs. I guess I'll start off English teaching until I can find something I like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I know many English teachers. I am in English school. My favourite teacher is Ozzy. He loves Japan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its the biggest English conversation school. Maybe I should secret. It is Osaka's company but also in Tokyo. Do you want advices on teaching? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

"Do you want advices on teaching?" sure! And hi! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Emiko, I looked at your teacher's web site. He seems a little strange. Are you sure he's ok? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why ok? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw that link to the Ascension Project. It looks kind of like a cult or something. Did he write that "Pillow Book" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. It's ok. They are friends. They like Boards of Canada too. Yes he wrote pillow book. It has chapter on Boards of Canada on chapter 14. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read that chapter. It really has stuff about BoC. Weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you know "Magic Window"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My teacher says Magic Window is in Boards of Canada music. He has been in it. Sometimes he was in it for a whole week. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your teacher sounds really weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I recommend to you read pillow book. It will explain magic window and invisible world. My teacher says: Just open your eyes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, ok... I'll read pillow book... |
||||||||
