Rain
Today is cold and rainy.
It seems to me like this year we won't be getting any summer at all. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than Tokyo's usual hot and humid summer, but it sucks.
This weekend Tomoko is going to her hometown in Ibaraki, since members of her family are getting together for obon (some kind of thanksgiving). Although I'd love an escape to country-side, I'll be staying in Tokyo this time to avoid meeting uncles and aunts, which would probably be more exhausting than staying in the city.
I hope to be able to go again soon though!
On Saturday, I'm planning to see a free DJ set of Cubismo Grafico (Escalator records) at Tower Records Shinjuku. The event starts at 19:00.
Cubismo Grafico's latest album came out on August 2 and is called Vocoder Block Diagram.
Today's Time Slip Glico is a "secret version", not in the list of available titles! The song is Ann Lewis "koi no BOOGIE-WOOGIE TRAIN" (1979), a groovy disco track!
Searching for info about the song, I found out that KONISHI Yasuharu did an arrangement of it for a cover album by MORIOKA Shōko called "yume de kangaetara" (1991)! I want that!!
The info comes from Ted Mills' excellent Unofficial KONISHI Yasuharu discography.

Yuko certainly understands what you're saying about meeting all the family. I think she's a bit exhausted here in Moncton.

Yeah, plus you're staying there for much longer than a weekend. At least your not meeting uncles and aunts all the time I guess. :)

I will! :) When I bought the album I got a ticket allowing me a handshake and an autograph. :)
... Then hopefully he will remember me once I mention you! haha :)

great deal with the handshake / signing-thing. :)
I'm sure he will remember you. He seems to be that kind of guy, you know, with a great memory - nothing like ignorant and always forgetting >> me :(

He sure didn't seem to remember me when we went to that Cornelius concert together. I had given him a MD of my band (Glad En Mono, http://www.chipple.net/glad/)) before and he seemed to have forgotten. :)

Yeah... I remember that... hmm, maybe I have to reconsider my views on this guy :)
