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!

Becky, my dad's first two albums were Kasenetz Katz Singing Orchestral Circus and SGT Peppers... it was one the first things he showed me when he put a record player in my room... in serious distress but still playable... By all rights that record should have split in half by now... but yeah

he’s accused of doing a lot worse than saying offensive things. Id never heard of him before 5 minutes ago. At least his remorse seems genuine. As for speaking up/shutting up... I don’t know. Depends on the situation... I guess just try to figure out if you’d regret speaking up or NOT speaking up. Sometimes I regret getting involved in these discussions, especially online other times I regret not saying anything.

But, I tried so hard to like that record cause my mom & dad bought it for me. I can see it now, "Mom: (To 22 year old store clerk) "Our 9 year old son is sick in bed. We want to buy him a new record!"
Clerk: What does he usually listen to?
Mom: The Monkees.
Clerk: Oh he will just love this Vanilla Fudge! (snickers!)

Wow, sound effects! I hate hearing that, Wenzo. He is a gentle little man. I imagine bullying in Japan has different connotations than here. We are so individualist and competitive and from what I understand, Japanese culture is about equality.

OK, my final comment on K&K on Carnegie Hall: It was supposed to be recorded for a CBS TV special. But it never aired. I don’t think the crew came out. Why? Because Bobby Kennedy had the nerve to get shot and die the night before.

not really sure what my first concert was. mom took us the Hollywood Bowl to hear the LA Symphony play music from "Star Wars" and William Shatner was there! He read...something. i don't remember.

My dad took me to see Monty Python at the Bowl. Then there were christian rock bands (I'm a Catholic school veteran).
Probably didn't see anything actually pop or rock til I saw the likes of Devo or Wall of Voodoo at all-ages shows.
