Last April I told you that Asobi Seksu signed to Polyvinyl and were starting work on their next LP. Well they're finally ready for us to hear a bit. They've given "Me & Mary" to Pitchfork to stream and it's great. Can't wait to hear the full product! Stream "Me & Mary" at Pitchfork

I actually didn't listen to much music while on vacation last week. I thought it would be kinda rude to slink away and slap on the headphones, and also not so nice to foist my music on my less-than-appreciative family, so the eighteen hours spent in the car were spent listening to the audio version of Harry Potter's latest exploits. Not a bad way to pass the time. Besides, I'm not completely su...

Here's one I've been really looking forward to for several years, not that I've known about this particular reworked collection for that long, but as a whole, I've been trying to get in on Asobi Seksu since being completely wowed by seeing them perform live. Rewolf is a small (ten songs) collection from Asobi Seksu's career. This may not be the best jumping on point, as the album does have sev...

After delivering quite the wonderful LP earlier this year in the form of 'Hush', Asobi Seksu have now confirmed details of another new release set to hit shelves before the year is out. Though it's not exactly an album of new material, it does sound pretty impressive, said to collate a collection of music taken from the bands three-album long career and rearrange them acoustically.

I guess Pseudo Cyborg isn't dead, after all.On Friday my friend Josh pointed me in the direction of an Asobi Seksu Remix Contest. Immediately my mouth dropped and I got to downloading the available assets. Not only is this particular group a favorite of mine, "Thursday" is one of my favorite songs. Opportunities like this don't come often and I had made up my mind that I would finish the remix,...

Asobi Seksu(Blue Lamp, Sacramento CA, 11/21/06)My first reaction as I walk in at 9:30 is that Blue Lamp has stripped its interior down . . . a lot. Gone are the benches in the back, now it's one open brick-walled space that's been repainted in darker hues. It definitely looks better but the acoustics were already harsh before and they will be even more so now. I'm glad I brought ear plugs. Asob...
