Show's great fun tonight; that song "Save Some For Thee" was a real beauty (as is that whole LP Fearless). Going to see the Japanese Klezmer band Jinta-La-Mvta at an Irish bar in Somerville MA this Tuesday! Thanks for the endless inspiration you provide, Rob!

Hi, Rob & Katie. Been listening while moving around the house. Thanks for the tunes and conversation tonight. See you in a couple weeks.

go to bed ken

9:48pm Zarathustra76:

What was the name of the "political" japanese band/song euppisedly about the 2011 earthquakes?

12:03am Zarathustra76:

Soul Flower Union: Takashi Gujo
if anyone can find any links to videos or live versions of this i'd be grateful for the help :)

7:00pm Rob Weisberg:

Zarathustra76: If you see this response: This is the title in Japanese characters: キセキの渚 - if you search for that you'll find the album and at least one video.

7:05pm Rob W:

Also (Zarathrustra76): If you noticed, I kinda hedged on saying exactly how that album responded to the earthquake - whether proceeds from album sales went toward earthquake relief, whether band members volunteered or helped recruit volunteers, helped raise funds in other ways etc. But Soul Flower Union and their associated “chindon” (street) band Soul Flower Mononoke Summit are known for their (generally left-leaning) socio-political engagement. I can also follow up with you further if you want to email me via the contact link on this page. Thanks for listening!
