Johnny Rocket Launch Pad-libertarian Rock N' Roll Experience

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine Silent Running by Mike + The Mechanics. It’s everybody’s favorite sleeper anarchist anthem from the 80’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep7W89I_V_g This week in I Heard This Happened: some Preo & Pop-Rock. Nicky’s album this week is Spending Eternity In A Japanese Convenience Store by Forests, The band hails from Singapore. So, I suppose it was bound to happen. Those techy Asian musicians were gonna smash Prog & emo together eventually. Frankly I’m glad. No genre picking. The record came out New years day. I would describe it as Chon meets Built To Spill meets Boys Night Out. The songs all have intricate & interesting parts but somehow it manages to be a singalong manufacturing device at the same time. Why do asian bands always seem to slay face? Is it genetic or just a function of the best stuff manages to make it here, the world may never know. , http://weareforests.bandcamp.com/album/spending-eternity-in-a-japanese-convenience-store Lizzie
