I got 3 discs


Today I hung out in Shibuya to researve an airplane ticket.
Then I went by TowerRecords to get discs, but Bobby Hutcherson's disc I was looking for was not there.
I got Fabrick 17 by Akufen.Akfen is a famous DJ whose "Click Sampling" remix hits underground scene about 2years ago.

Then I moved to DMR.There was no intersting hiphop beats there, and I got a House Beat. 12inch of Yuki "Joy" remix from King Street Sounds.
This Yuki is Japanese pop rock group: Judy & Mary's Yuki. I like to listen her song on radio but I have never bought her song. The 12inch is including 2 house mix. Why Kingstreet signs on with so many Japanese pop artists recently? What's going on behind.

Then I moved to HMV finally. I could found Bobby Hatcherson "Montara" there.

Gwen Stefani: Luxurious


iTMS Japan released a special single of "Luxurious", Then I got that.
It's nice chilling sound. I like this flavor. It's sampling "Between the sheets" of Isley Bros.

The beat got a little like a down south style, but synsesizer is like smooth hiphops in early 90's. Yeah, of course it evokes me Biggie's "Big Poppa".
Is there a cross-marketing reason to release Luxurious now? Because Beggie is in a promotion now for his new album.

BTW, How about this rare track using a sampling of "Between the Sheets". Most High (Remix)

Google Music Search

[Reuters] told Google is going to start a music search.
Will Google Music API appear? If so, it will be more intersting more than Apple or MTV/Microsoft.

Pandora: The Music Genome Project


I heard about Pandora from Kamo-C.
It is like a new style of internet radio.
Putting a keyword like an artist name or a song name, It streams songs related to the keyword.
It also shows link to iTunes music store and Amazon.com to buy songs reccomended.

I scanned some songs, it's useful.
But it suddenly requires to create an account. I am wandering if I will make an account.
Cuz there was a term that there is a possibility to be a pay service in an agreement.
