- Astro Unicorn Radio – Minimal Wave Records reportage from New York (via moosleybay.com)
 

- aratkiLo – “smooth operation miX” (via welt-am-draht.de)

I don’t want to describe it as ambient music or noise, because that evokes boring music that you only listen to while either incredibly depressed or incredibly drunk, so instead let’s just say it is interesting, fresh, non-conventional electronic music. Sounds convoluted enough? Find out for yourself*:

- Episode 2 – Asylum

Heart2Heart will help you reach deep inside yourself, get in touch with your emotions and start the painful and fulfilling process of shaping your own destiny.

It’s a kind of mock up love and life advice radio show, listeners ask “Dr.” Lina for help in solving their problems. It is funny, original and features some nice tunes – works for me.

Update: No new Heart 2 Heart shows for now as Dr. Lina is unavailable. Check out the first seven shows if you haven’t already.

“Just for grins, I’ve translated Shinya Kusaka’s URA HELLO WORK. [...]

HELLO WORK is what Japanese call their unemployment office, where people go to find job listings. URA means ‘the dark side of.’ URA HELLO WORK basically means ‘grey-market’ jobs – things that are not entirely illegal, but everything is paid in cash, under the table.

Anyway, Shinya Kusaka interviewed twenty different people, each of which has a shady job! The 20 different jobs are arranged from least illegal to most illegal.

Anyway, this translation will be a regular feature on Tokyo Damage Report – every Monday, I’ll start off the work-week with a new chapter, and a new job for you guys to get!”
