Favoriting The Mike Rogers Show: Playlist from August 5, 2023 Favoriting

Mike Rogers's avatar View Mike Rogers's profile Favoriting

Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

A toast of the lemonade (wish it was Suntory) to 100 shows. It's 115 here in the Southwest USA.

Hey, isn't it almost drinking time where you are?
Avatar 8:46pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @8:41
Yes, it's past 5 pm here. Trying to get some housework done like that Pretenders' song "Watching the Clothes."
Avatar 8:50pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @8:46
Does your wife get mad at you if you drink? I think Taiwanese women won't say anything (like a Japanese, they won't say anything, but they might be pissed off).
Avatar 8:55pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @8:50
No, she knows I keep it limited to one bīru in summer or one red wine in winter.
Avatar 9:00pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @8:55
You must be a great husband. I used to get fucking plastered, even then my wife wouldn't say a word... She'd later tell me it was pointless to say anything because I was so sloshed, I wouldn't remember it the next day (which is true!)
Avatar 9:02pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @8:55
I Limited my intake too. My wife wouldn't give me anymore money after three bottles of Sho Chu!
Avatar 9:07pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:00
No, I just try to do what I can to hopefully make life better for others.
Avatar 9:08pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:07
Yeah. That's good. I didn't figure that out until i turned 65!

Fotgot to ask you-Did you ever cross paths with Paul Reubens while you were in L.A. and on the edges of their comedy scene?
Avatar 9:14pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:12
Actually, in 1980, I worked in his office (mailroom) for three months in summer. No kidding. I worked with a guy Named Jeff Hughart....
Avatar 9:15pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:14
It was an incredibly boring job.... But better than getting stones all the time... We got stoned at that office and worked and got paid.
Avatar 9:21pm
Ted:

His passing, at 70, seemed like it hit home harder (here in the U.S.) than the many others.
Avatar 9:22pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:21
He was a super-star, I envy the guy!

Mr Fab:

Happy century, Mike!
Avatar 9:24pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:22
I thought it was pretty radical at the time for CBS to give him a Saturday morning kids show. At that time, CBS was the most boring and staid of the Big Three.

Hi Mr. Fab san!

I knew Mailman Mike pretty well. I had some photos but can't seem to find them anymore.

The King of Cartoons was my favorite.
Avatar 9:34pm
Ted:

Yeah, the Ramones! Did you ever hear the Romanes?www.discogs.com...
Avatar 9:35pm
Ted:

The Shonen Knife Ramones cover album is also top-notch.
Avatar 9:36pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:34
There are SO MANY Ramones bands in Japan, I can't keep track of them!
Avatar 9:37pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:36
You gotta write them down!
Avatar 9:38pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:35
Shonen Knife used to call themselves the Osaka Ramones (or something like that)
Avatar 9:39pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:38
That's also the name of their 2011 album.
Avatar 9:39pm
Mike Rogers:

There are even bands that do their best to look just like them too. No kidding. They tell me they will send me their songs.... BUT! None of them will do originals! No kidding!
Avatar 9:40pm
Mike Rogers:

I don't know if I want to play THAT many Ramones covers!
Avatar 9:41pm
Mike Rogers:

I tell these bands that if they don't do an original song and only do covers, they will never get paid even one cent for radio airplay.... But they don't seem to care!
Avatar 9:43pm
Ted:

and remember the Ramones didn't want to do covers in their early stages because they were too hard to figure out.
Avatar 9:45pm
Mike Rogers:

I told one band that, "Chinese Rock" and a few other songs were covers... They didn't know that!
Avatar 9:45pm
Mike Rogers:

Shonen Knife told me the same thing... At first they didn't want to play covers because they were too difficult.
Avatar 9:47pm
Mike Rogers:

Did you guys know that the biggest Ramones Fanclub in the world still exists here in Tokyo? I gave them a drum head that Richie Ramone signed for me.
Avatar 9:50pm
Ted:

↳ Mike Rogers @9:45
Yes, I went to her impressive website. I have always liked the photos of the Ramones in Japan and especially Joey ordering an ice cream cone.
Avatar 9:50pm
Mike Rogers:

They claim more than 600+ members!
Avatar 9:51pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:50
Oh, you met Yuki Kuoyanagi? She is so nice!
Avatar 9:51pm
Mike Rogers:

Yuki Kuroyanagi
Avatar 9:52pm

↳ Mike Rogers @9:51
Have not met her. Hopefully when I return!
Avatar 9:56pm
Mike Rogers:

↳ Ted @9:52
Maybe she will go to lunch with us. She is pretty busy!
Avatar 9:59pm
Mike Rogers:

She also takes photos for the Yakult Swallows pro baseball team! (I think it's Yakult!)

See you guys later! Stay tuned for Ken Nishikawa's "Post Whatever!"

Wow, that's fitting as some of the Ramones were baseball (Yankees) fans.

Hoppy Setto was my weakness for a while.
Avatar 10:14pm
Ken Nishikawa:

Hoppy Setto is still my weakness!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17pm
WR:

I had to stop. After the Hoppy bottle was empty I would keep topping the glass with shochu until the shochu bottle was empty and then I could barely walk.

Ken Nishikawa:

Everything in moderation, including moderation, I suppose...

That was the time I woke up in my hotel room and it was a day later than when I was supposed to leave Osaka.
Avatar 10:20pm
Ken Nishikawa:

Oh, no....

Not a disaster. Just ended up costing me money since I still had to pay for my ryokan that I had reserved in Tokyo.

Luckily, I've never missed a plane or train due to hang over, but have taken them with a massive one more than once. What an ordeal....

Is think this is trivia... But I think the drummer from Bim Bam Boom is named "Miyoko Yamaguchi" (Ok, I know it is a very common name...)
