ttgapers.com store - Music - powered by Amazon It comes as little surprise that Mark Schilling's contribution, about the Tora-san character in the Otoko wa Tsurai yo (It's Tough Being a Man) film series, is the most interesting - not necessarily because of the topic, but because Schilling is the only contributor who is a writer of any repute. The essays dwell on four major areas of contemporary J-Pop Culture: music, manga and animation, TV and film and the popularity of J-Pop Culture outside of the country. Schilling's Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture (Weatherhill) remains the definitive starting point for those seeking a good, accessible introduction to the subject; Japan Pop! www.ttgapers.com /ttStore-index2-asin-0765605619.html

Sub Pop Art Show in Hawaii - Honolulu Weekly Feature Story After the Yo-Yo's told the label they didn't care about the artwork for their Sub Pop Single's Club single, comic legend Charles Burns came up with an illustration of a little monster man cradled in a dripping hand.

MWB Band page for The yo-yo Contingency The yo-yo Contingency could be best described as alternative pop: dork-rock substance added to folk-rock essence and pop-rock naiveté. A closer listen provides subtle insight into the band’s influences — the melodic simplicity of The Eels; the dramatic ingenuity of They Might Be Giants; the lush textures of The Flaming Lips; and the earnest sincerity of Fountains of Wayne. The infiltration of these elements are indirectly apparent, lending to a sound that is at once familiar and distinct. www.midwestbands.com /bandpage.php3?id=986   (536 words)

Yo La Tengo interviewSpook Or at least they display tendencies of a pop band, I don't know, um, Sonic Youth, Minor Threat, The Shaggs, Dead C, are just a few I could think of right away that might qualify. Yes, I think we are but then again i think all bands are pop bands, even if they aren't. Guitarist/singer Ira Kaplan sent me lyrics to my favorite Yo La Tengo song ("From A Motel 6") and we played phone-tag and mail-tag for a while. www.furious.com /perfect/ylt.html   (536 words)

MTV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia MTV's combination of music videos, youthful video jockeys, irreverent commentary, promotion of special rock concerts, and news and documentaries about bands and performers established the network's popularity with youthful viewers, and it became a leading promoter of new rock music and rock musicians. MTV UK has also been attacked for over-use of on-screen graphics, such as logos, programme promotion and countdown timers, and its electronica-themed genre channel MTV Dance is often derided for playing a lack of dance music during the day, preferring a mix of pop-dance, pop, and RandB. MTV was created in 1977, when Warner-Amex Cable (a joint venture between Warner Communications and American Express) launched the first two-way interactive cable TV system, Qube, in Columbus, Ohio. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/MTV   (3844 words)

washingtonpost.com: Alejandro Sanz Tops Latin Grammys LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1 -- Latin Grammy favorite Alejandro Sanz won four awards and Brazilian jazz songstress Maria Rita collected two Wednesday at a ceremony aimed at uniting Spanish- and Portuguese-language music with the flash and sizzle of American pop. Sanz won the male pop vocal album award and album of the year for "No Es Lo Mismo" and song and record of the year trophies for writing and performing the album's title track. He then uttered some of the language in a phrase that, politely translated, means: "Don't lie to me." In English, Lopez joked that it meant "Good luck in your future endeavors." CBS bleeped the joke. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A55107-2004Sep2?language=printer   (3844 words)

The Aquabats - Charge! sputnikmusic is certainly a breath of fresh air in the pop-punk scene, with fewer bands pulling out fun tunes every year. It may have taken 5 years to release, but The Aquabat's transition to a new-wave/pop-punk band has been a successful one. The vocals stand out by far, with an echoing feel to them in places. www.musicianforums.com /sputnik/album.php?reviewid=3420&genreid=24&styleid=18   (3844 words)

Noise pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Most noise pop bands owe a heavy debt to the influence of the Velvet Underground, but the style truly began in the 1980s underground scene: chief purveyors include The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, and Dinosaur Jr. Noise pop is a term used to loosely describe a number of alternative rock bands that fuse punk rock's attitude and anger with the atonal noise, feedback, and free song structures of noise music, presented in a decidedly pop context. Noise pop bands are considered inspirations for the shoegazing scene of the late 80's and early 90's; in fact, many shoegaze band could be considered noise pop. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Noise_pop   (203 words)

man_merch_frame.html Mandarin’s innate pop sensibility recalls vintage Pixies, which smoothens the complexity of their arrangements to coalesce their songs into progressive, singular, contemporary pop music. Exuding a sometimes woozy, often quietly sinister vibe a la Pseudosix or Red Red Meat, Mandarin’s songs evolve and expand naturally, like the best of Yo La Tengo’s or Bedhead’s, enveloping the listener with their engrossing mood and textures. Fast>Future>Present will swing this star into full view well beyond the thick Deep Ellum twilight and position Mandarin alongside the aforementioned luminaries, bewitching all those who fix their gaze upon it. www.fiftyfourfortyorfight.com /5440_html/man_merch_frame.html   (110 words)

The Yo-Yos So impressive were these tracks that the band were almost immediately invited to join acclaimed Swedes, Backyard Babies on the road for their first ever UK tour, which gained the Yo-Yo's the notoriety of being one of the hottest unsigned bands around. Another four songs were recorded in early 1999 for their second single and the band continued touring the UK, building up their following and finally signing to Sub Pop in October of that same year. When the Wildhearts cancelled their '97 UK tour (to support their Endless Nameless album for Mushroom), the demise of the band was an inevitability, and their former bassist and singer was left free to pursue other projects. www.subpop.com /bands/yo-yos/bio.html   (110 words)

Pin&Pon djs ¿A qué sabe el amaretto? A Sunshine Pop ... Y, claro, ahora os tengo que explicar qué es esto del Sunshine Pop, dónde reside su encanto y adónde podéis acudir si tenéis tanto frío como yo. Y lo mismo puede decirse de la influencia que el sunshine ejerció en el folk-rock — The Grassroots y The Turtles son un buen ejemplo- o en el pop a secas, llevándolo hacia los terrenos más barrocos de Orpheus o Left Banke. Pero lo que es indudable es que la forma de producirlos, de entender el pop, sí influenció de forma decisiva a discos que son auténticas obras maestras. www.pinypondjs.com /reportaje13.shtml   (641 words)

Yo La Tengo As for love, well the Kaplan/Hubley husband/wife team have a more humanist outlook than the young Lou Reed and one facet of their genius is their unparalleled ability to wring tearjerking poignancy from that most overworked of pop song themes, the male/female relationship. Yo La Tengo’s scraps are way more edible than most band’s main courses and this compilation is as good a starter for the newcomer as it is a source of mouth watering delight to long standing fans who didn’t even know they’d cooked up so many gourmet side dishes. Yo La Tengo seem eminently careful not to overdo such gobsmackingly climactic moments however, offsetting them with an eclecticism as skilful as it is enjoyable. www.webinfo.co.uk /crackedmachine/yolatengo.htm   (3471 words)

Café Lumiere - Movie Review - Stylus Magazine The film focuses on the platonic relationship between Yoko (Japanese pop singer Yo Hitoto, magnetic in her screen debut), a young, single writer and Hajime (Japanese actor-du-jour Tadanobu Asano), the proprietor of the titular secondhand bookstore. Yoko has just returned from (Hou’s native) Taiwan, and is pregnant by her boyfriend there, whom she has decided she will not marry. Cast: Yo Hitoto, Tadonobu Asano, Kimiko Yo, Nenji Kobayashi www.stylusmagazine.com /feature.php?ID=1745   (731 words)

BBC - Movies - review - Café Lumière (Kôhî Jikô) Made by the Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien as a homage to the great Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu, the luminously shot Café Lumière meanders through contemporary Tokyo in the company of a pregnant twentysomething writer Yoko (Japanese pop star Yo Hitoto), and her shy bookselling friend Hajime (Zatôichi's Tadanobu Asano). Shooting in long takes, Hou Hsiao-Hsien steers clear of melodramatic confrontations: even when the single Yoko tells her parents of her pregnancy, her father remains his benignly taciturn self. The plot may be almost non-existent, but who cares when a film is both this serenely beautiful and quietly insightful. www.bbc.co.uk /films/2005/05/24/cafe_lumiere_2005_review.shtml   (316 words)

From fleeting encounters to quiet camaraderie, Hou distills a Tokyo of intimacy and communion amid the urban crush. www.isop.ucla.edu /showevent.asp?eventid=3033   (751 words)

Happy Birthday MTV.....For Better Or Worse.... I liked MTV when it was a radio station with pictures, I'd say from 1981-1986. Those years happened to coincide with the years in which I also liked a lot of the pop music MTV played. MTV was never a wholesome institution,* but now it's sheer thuggery and quasi-pornographic swill. MTV Raps started....and then they started to play less music and more crap...they were better in the early days....IMHO www.inthe00s.com /index.php?topic=2638.0   (331 words)

MTV.htm During a performance at the annual MTV Video Music Awards">MTV Video Music Awards, she ripped off a black suit to reveal a provocative nude-colored and crystal-adorned outfit that generated controversy due to her young age. It was somewhat at odds, not only with the traditional pressures, temptations and opportunities of "pop 'n' roll", but with the increasingly sexualized content of her own songs. Spears performed at the MTV Video Music Awards the following September, and in addition to criticism for being scantily clad, she angered animal rights organization PETA for the use of animals, including an albino python, in her performance. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/M/MTV.htm   (1161 words)

»»RAP Reviews«« While pop, soul, R&B, and rap titles are critiqued, the emphasis here is on rock with a capital "R." Indeed, it's not too hard to stump the book with indie titles and other offbeat recordings. From slinging crack in the ghetto of Long Beach, California, to rapping the tales that brought hip-hop to a new level commercially in the early '90s, to a murder charge that he beat in 1996, this is Snoop's story. A Brooklyn native, he began writing about rap back in the late 1970s, when the beats and the lifestyle were not only foreign to most white folks, they were still underground in the black communities. www.financial-book-review.com /Quick-ratio/RAP/RAP_11.html   (3954 words)
