It has been a while since the last time I shared a show from the DNA Lounge, a nightclub located in San Francisco, CA. They were actually shut down and remodeling for a while. I was happy to see Sunday night that not only are they back open but Japanese action comic punks from space Peelander-Z were playing a show there!

Peelander-Z


A big thanks to the DNA Lounge for continuing to share their live shows via a webcast on their website as well as keeping an audio recording from each night uploaded for two weeks just in case anybody misses it. This is a very cool thing for a venue to do. Check out their flyer archive too. You can listen to the entire show featuring Graffiti Monsters, Crashfaster, Kool Skull, and the DJ Doctor Popular on their page. The Peelander-Z portion has been split into individual tracks and shared after the break.

Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you, always. Now check out this new Voltaire song for the occasion.

Docking Bay 94


Voltaire, as usual, has a lot of stuff going on right now. That man stays busy. With a new instrumental and karaoke release of his latest album Riding a Black Unicorn Down the Side of an Erupting Volcano While Drinking from a Chalice Filled with the Laughter of Small Children (ok, let’s just call it Riding a Black Unicorn) last month he has entered a new market with his music. It is a digital download exclusive release and you can find it on CD Baby. A similar release of Voltaire’s country album Hate Lives in a Small Town is in the pipeline for release soon.

It is finally May. May is a month that I have considered a sort of Star Wars month for a while. This is not only because it hosts Star Wars Day on May the 4th (be with you), but because all six of the feature films have been released in May.

Jar Jar Binks


If you happen to be around Rock Hill, SC on Star Wars Day this year swing by the Gutter Ball 2 at The Money. I’ll be there hanging out. The Body Bags will be in attendance. It is only five bucks!

May the Force be with you, always.

It was one hundred years ago tonight the ill-fated RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Good thing they didn’t make it to the States or all of these movies and spinoffs would never have been made, eh?

Thumbtanic


The picture above is from one of my favorite Steve Oedekerk flicks, Thumbtanic. You can actually watch that on Google Video. Of course it is a parody of the blockbuster James Cameron film Titanic which just saw its 3D re-release in honor of the anniversary. Well I know you are familiar with the Celine Dion song from the film, “My Heart Will Go On”. How about I share with you an epic cover of the song. Bella Morte released a studio version of the track on their recent Undertow single although they have been performing it live for many years now. A clip of them performing the… touching… track at Dragon*Con last year is after the break.

I had the chance to see the Charlotte, NC based ThoughtCriminals while I was at the VS Tour with Random and Willie Evans Jr. These guys definitely impressed.

ThoughtCriminals


Mikal kHill and Sulfur are the core of the hip hop group with other live band members performing along at select shows. The ThoughtCriminals have been taken in by the nerdcore community with open arms. I have heard that they will even be touring with Adam WarRock soon. Check out the video for their first single from their latest album Cold Winter, it is titled “I Remember Now”. I also threw in a bonus mp3 for you to process with your ears.

Some yearly traditions should not be broken. Luckily hip hopper mc chris agrees. For the fifth year in a row he has supplied the masses with a new free song on April Fools Day. He is also gearing up for a Big Easter Sale!

mc chris


Starting at midnight swing by the mc chris store for twenty dollar hoodies, ten dollar shirts, five dollar CDs, and more. Until then, however, why not listen to the new song? It is titled “discord” and deals with the subject matter of, well, My Little Pony. Yes. Lyrics are available on the mc chris boards, the chorus pushes a stand-up-for-yourself anthem with lines like “you can’t tell me what toys I can play with, you can’t tell me not to grow my crops, you can’t tell me which sex I can marry, it’s so scary the weird way that you watch”. Check it out below, after Derpy.

We have reached a new month, April. A month loved by pranksters and bunny rabbits. Did you get any good April Fools Day pranks in?

Problem?


I was caught up watching WWE Wrestlemania for the second half of the day. Woo woo woo. You know it. This March included a new interview from Willie Evans Jr. and Random as well as some great Japanese tracks. Check back for a new month of tracks shortly!

One year ago one of the coolest places on the planet was struck by a devastating earthquake and an even worse tsunami. In the months since then the country of Japan has been pulling itself back together and looking toward the future. I posted about the tragedy with a Gackt mp3 after it happened, including a breathtaking photo of the tsunami breaching a wall on the coast of Miyako City. This is the same location today.

Miyako City a year later


This anniversary seems as good of a time as any to bring back the popular “Six Songs” post on You Sound Like A Robot. I like to make these posts special, themed at times. This time I am featuring an all Japanese selection of music. Lately I have been watching a couple of great music shows known as J Melo and Alterna JPN on a Japanese channel that is broadcast across the internet known as NHK World. This has been amazing for discovering new musicians from the Land of the Rising Sun.

INTERVIEW: Random and Willie Evans Jr.

When The VS Tour swung through Charlotte this weekend I had the chance to have a talk with Random, aka Mega Ran, and Willie Evans Jr. Listen to that below.

Random and Willie Evans Jr.


The show was fantastic. With the crowd squeezing into the cozy Crown Station venue fans played Street Fighter and Tekken while they waited for the show to begin. The first three acts were all great. RoQ’y-TyRaiD opened the night followed by The Thought Criminals and Mr. Invisible. All of the sets were full of energy and great fun. By the time Willie Evans Jr and Random took the stage as the last two acts some of the crowd had thinned out. This wasn’t a big deal though, they both did great with the crowds that they had. We didn’t get out of the bar until after 2am.

Well February went out with a bang, it’s time to move on to March. Not much happens in March. Something about leprechauns?

Jake. He is part time leprechaun.


Make sure you check out my interview with Bella Morte. An interview that good only comes once a leap year. Look forward to more interviews coming up soon!
