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!

@Feldy yeah... something like that happens in African music... I'm a huge fan of the 1970s in Afro-Rock but waves of imports from other African countries often killed the local scenes... I guess a similar thing happens in the Caribbean as a different island's music suddenly overtakes the other

@Scott, I noticed there is a California Gully nearby. What's up with that?!
Avatar 6:33pm
Mike Rogers:

No college radio here. The government runs a radio station, and amazingly, it is one of the better stations, NHK. The reason there are no internet (I mean workldwide broadcast) and no college stations are two (I figure) 1) Parents figure they don't want to pay a ton of money for their kids to go to university and then get what is called "Water Work" (like prostitution, etc). Working at a radio station may not be too cool for older folks. 2) JASRAC (Japan association of recording artists) is really strict and to this day, they still charge small stations exhorbitant amounts to broadcast music. So we have podcasts with talk only.

That song's brilliant, Mike! I remember hearing it on a tape of a Rodney at the ROQ show a friend gave me in the mid-ish 80s! Had no idea that was The Rotters!

Mike Rogers:

OK. Stevie Nichts san, I am intrigued! Ron Fast? Thomas Chartier? Who?
I'd be so surprised to have someone from my past listen to this show. Really, an honor.

Carmichael, Cal Gully is a stone's throw away from me. It's from the Gold Rush Days, miners from California stakin a claim.

I love the Google Streetview of my are. If you pan it to the back & up of the camera car, someone has drawn a dick & balls on the perspex dome.

I haven't figured out how that Google Street veiw works.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm
ultradamno:

Yeah, it's a little confusing because the CD and vinyl version have different covers too. The tracklistings might be different, like Back From The Graves are as well, I'm not entirely sure.

This band? I only know that the members are from famous bands... But they are keeping their identities a secret for some reason.

5,6,7,8's have something to do with this.
