Here’s a short review of the Shinobu album at MUSIC FOR ROBOTS. Niiiiiice.

Appropriately, I am travelling to Hiroshima tomorrow and really don’t have a place to stay for the next 3 nights. Helloooo to sleeping in parks!!!

PNP founder and real-life beat boy Brandon has just released his new record as Altair Nouveau entitled “Dark Energy”. You can check out an interview he did on eMusic.com and download the record there. NIIIIICE!

Classics Of Love is hitting the road!

I can’t believe I lagged so much on posting this. Hooray for the PNP…

The new Shinobu album is available for free download from Quote Unquote Records. Please listen and enjoy!

Love, Bob

SO…
Morgan, Mike and I(Hard Girls), have started a new band with brand new PNP inductee, Jesse Michaels. Jesse sang in the bands Op Ivy, Big Rig and Common Rider, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we feel super excited and lucky to be playing with this strange/awesome combination of people!
We’re called Classics Of Love. I think it sounds like Revolution Summer meets something having to do with rock music that the general public cares about. In a good way.

We’re playing a few shows in the LA area, and hopefully lots more fun stuff after that.
I’m really excited!

SHUT UP THE PUNX,
max

Fun times for all! We play at 7:00!

Konnichiwa fools!

I just finished making a zine of sorts. It’s a collection of poems written by 6 of the best high school students that Japan has to offer. The writing is often grammatically goofy, and poorly spelled, but incredibly charming and honest, whether it’s a poem about hibernating bears or about trying to get into college. One of my students described the cover that I designed as “an eyesore”. I’ll let you all know when it’s available for mass consumption!

In other news, I’m going to lunch at a buffet tomorrow at the 3rd biggest mall in Japan, and am thinking of crashing a party that I was specifically not invited to after that.

So max wants to know whats up with the fam. As a bastard son, ugly step sister, honorary family member…some of you might be interested to know that manigator is working on a new tape. 5 songs down so far. Mike, nate, sean and a nice lady named cathy were there. You can still buy zanker for a buck. manigator@gmail.com
