[BLMP] #01 Songs for the night… or songs with the word night in them… or songs.

I recorded a podcast! I did it from 4am-5am! It might suck but I can’t remember. I didn’t shout to anyone because everyone was asleep when I did this but I love you you all… you know who you are.
I did this podcast entirely in GarageBand and with the built-in iSight mic on my MacBook! [...]

[boylikesSurvey] Mental Imagery

I notice I use some pretty odd comparisons and adjectives in some of my reviews - the one that sticks out in my head the most is the arpy “spherical” synths in MEG’s SEARCHLIGHT. To all you music bloggers out there, do certain instruments sound like shapes to you? Or for a more general approach, [...]

BLM Song of the Summer 2008

Last year, on my old Vox blog, I crowned FREE FREE as song of the summer 2007. This year’s winner hasn’t been released yet but the PV is out and the song is one that I see great things for. The funnier thing is that this year’s winner reminds me of a happier and fresher [...]

Back after her BEAM album, STEP brings all the TechnoPop goodness you come to expect of MEG and Nakata-san. On the blm cuteness scale, she’s a few notches under Perfume. Her voice still delivers that “I-don’t-know-what-it-is” factor and is suited perfectly with [...]

[blm Revisits...] Otsuka Ai

blm Revisits is a series of posts which attempts to rediscover artists I’ve lost touch with over the years. The goal is to rekindle the interest that was once there and hopefully pull others in along for the ride.

Being one of the most diverse vocalists in Japan, 大塚 愛 (Otsuka Ai) is one of my [...]

[remix] Justice vs. Perfume - Chocolate Disco D.A.N.C.E

Gee, I wonder what two songs I mashed up for this remix. Just have to mention that the version of D.A.N.C.E I used is the Live Version from the 2CD † album.
I just recently got around to acquiring most of Justice’s discography. I totally love their Electro style. It’s a bit slower than Nakata’s edgy [...]
