Saw this truck stopped at the lights outside our place and thought it was worth a quick snap. We see these trucks quite often, driving around advertising Japanese pop music stars. They play samples of the music for the masses to enjoy. I wonder how much it actually helps their sales.

Still the music is slightly better than that played by the Japanese nationalists / fascists in their sound trucks.

MANDALAVANDALZ KING OF THE BAD TRIPS

Finish psychedelic legends Mandalvandalv new album King of the Bad Trips will be released August 29. Really looking forward to picking up a copy:)

The 6 Dimension Soundz website had this to say about their 11th release:

6 Dimension Soundz are proud to announce the release of “King of the Bad Trips” by stable favourites MANDALAVANDALZ. A major breakthrough in the art of sheer madness, “King of the Bad Trips” is MANDALAVANDALZ 5th release with 6 Dimension Soundz and the labels 11th release.

Since their first album with 6D-Soundz “POISON MACHINE” was released 3 years ago these giants of psychedelic mayhem have won the hearts and spangled the minds of the forest loving kichigai community. 5 albums is a lot of music to have put together and this album keeps on racking
up and cracking fans expectations.

With leaps of bass and bounds of drums, MANDALAVANDALZ have kept on making their byzantinelly unique and spaced out original tracks. None of their fans are going to want to miss out on King of the Bad Trips!

You can listen to sample mp3′s of each track for free by clicking here: MANDALAVANDALZ KING OF THE BAD TRIPS – New Release.

The CD should be available soon from Saiko Sounds.

Bom!

Yoshi’s accent is close to the Akita one, so listening to him was good for my studying.

Here is a video of one of his songs remixed. A classic:

He has quite a sense of humour which makes his music more interesting than most Japanese enka singers, kind of like the Japanese Johnny Cash. I have a Yoshi Ikuzo t-shirt which I was wearing when we arrived in Finland. It says Ikuzo with a big star around it and looks like a heavy metal t-shirt, so this video is very apt. The place we stayed at in Helsinki was over-run by heavy metal fans who were going to a big metal festival. The Ikuzo t-shirt was a great way to make friends…

Thanks to D.Y.E.chan for posting this on mixi!

a freakdance records t-shirt

They only have a 100 of these, so get in quick.

Here is what they have to say about all this it glows in the dark goodness:

NEW FREAKDANCE RECORDS SKULL CRACKER T-SHIRTS ARE HERE!

The good-ole Freakdance skull logo has been revamped, reborn and brutally sodomized by label hustler Jere Häkkinen (Luomuhappo) – he has handpainted & re-sketched our company logo by hand and transformed it into a brand new level of fartistical approach!

These brand new Freakdance Records (TM)(C)(R) skull-cracker t-shirts are now internationally available from our webshop in colours such as … well, as Glenn Danzig would put it: “Black, black, The black is back, I am the blackest of the black of time!” – But don’t you worry, in the midst of all this blackness, the beautiful white print on these babies does not only glow in UV light alone, but THESE SHIRTS GLOW IN THE DARK AS WELL! Now how cool is that, you can spook out your acidhead friends in dark rave caves?? HUH ??

Take a look at the shirt here: http://www.freakdancerecords.net/images/fdpaita2_large.jpg

The price is 15 euros a piece and the total print has been limited to 100 copies, so get yours before they disappear from the face of the earth. The shirts are only available for men for the time being, but we will get some models for the ladies very soon! Be patient, o’ titted ones! <3

For our Finnish customers / HUOMIO SUOMALAASET PEOPLE!!!: order two CD’s, get the shirt for 10 euros. It doesn’t get any cheaper than that, and if any of you hippie bums still have the nerve to complain about the prices, we’ll hit you in the face with a hammer. Offer valid inside Finland only, sorry.

Our international web shop is at http://www.freakdancerecords.net -> mailorder

If you don’t want one, you can always order one for me for my birthday. It is only 6 months away you know!

Just finished an update of the 6 Dimension Soundz website. Included in the update are mp3′s you can download for the upcoming New Years release of No Possible Soundz Vol. 3. A cracking collection of the finest Finland has to offer, this album rocks the socks off crocks of jocks!

Also Mandalvandalz popular Poison Machine has been re-released, so if you missed out, now you can grab a copy.

Also up are mp3s from Sci Forest’s classic Fetish Box, as well as crunchy Finland psyke ninjas Puoskari from the Open the Forest release.

Enjoy!

If you have booked and are going – here is how to get to the camp site from the Otsuki Interchange:

It is about 35 kilometers (60 minutes if the road isn’t too busy) from the Otsuki Interchange. At the Otsuki Interchange you want to turn onto Route 20 in the direction of Hachioji. You will travel past Otsuki Railway Station and then come turn left onto Route 139 heading towards Lake Okutama. When you get to Kosuge-mura Village you should see signs for the Camping Ground (玉川キャンプ場). You will then turn right and you will be at the camp ground. If you get to Lake Okutama you have gone too far.

And here is a google map link showing the Tamagawa Camp Ground.
