Ishkur's Guide to Electronic music has been updated! Hilarious commentary including on Japan...
"It reminds me of that scene in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' where they go near Toontown, and you can see clouds of smoke and yelling and fighting and all sorts of haywire shit happening above the horizon to signify the complete and total lunacy of the place. Japan is just like that."
Heh ;)
Wow. Equal parts terribly informative and offensive. Don't read the description of jpop (I can't stand that genre anyway). Well, at least he wasn't too hard on triphop.
Ian, I was responsible for pointing a lot of traffic to Ishkur's site back in 2000 so I was happy to see that he did not abandon that project. He's opinionated but the guide is invaluable.
