Toropical Circle (After Roomic Cube)
I have heard of him already, but didn’t know about him too many things until this album that he has made with Takako Minekawa. I have caught sight of her name and pounce on the record immediately so I had to know him:
Dustin Wong is a Hawaiian born half Chinese/half American guitarist. He grew up in Japan and went to college to the US. There he founded an experimental guitar duo with Matthew Papich (nowadays: Co La), the Ecstatic Sunshine (2004-07) and the Deerhoofesque art rock band, Ponytail (2005-11). After the break-up he has begun solo career and made experimental guitar albums. He lives in Japan again.
Takako Minekawa is a Japanese musician. She was active in the 90’s as the most interesting shibuya-kei artist. The term comes from Tokyo’s Shibuya ward. The district is the centre of the Japanese fashion and pop culture. Shibuya-kei (literally: Shibuya system) is described as a mix of jazz, pop and synthpop. Takako Minekawa’s music is experimental shibuya-kei. She loves cats, clouds, Kraftwerk, French pop and vintage instruments.
They have met in Tokyo in 2011 after a Dustin Wong gig and become working together. The outcome of their labour is the recently born Toropical Circle album. It’s Takako Minekawa’s first work for 13 years. Her weird synth sounds and dreamy singing voice meets his strange guitar sounds
The record is rather experimental with ambient, gamelan and oriental moods than pop, but there are some shibuya-kei moments too. It’s a really nice, pleasant album.

I’ve got fag butts that belong to Bobby Gillespie, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse, and I’ve got Christmas paper that Steve Ogrizovic sent to the guy from Black Sabbath. All kinds of shit basically.
The Art of Punk – Dead Kennedys
Winston Smith
Dead Kennedys is a well-known American punk band but who is the logo and covers creator Winston Smith? James Patrick Shannon Morey (b. 1952) moved from Oklahoma to Italy in 1969. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and studying classical Renaissance, later won a scholarship to study Cinema at the International University of Art (Florence and Rome). He went back to the States only in 1976. After the arrival he has changed his name to Winston Smith. WS is the main character in Orwell’s 1984. He moved to San Francisco and worked as a roadie for many bands while wrote, edited and self-published a magazine with a fellow-artist. They also made and distributed posters for non-existent bands and clubs with the addresses listed on the placards and flyers often located in the Pacific Ocean.
„That’s dangerous! I wanna use that.”
