It’s hard to imagine the amount of work that went into creating these tiny intricate carvings. It must take incredible patience and control. There are some very cool ideas.
Take-Away Shows

“Take-away shows” is a fantastic idea, and it’s brilliantly executed. A combination that warms the bosom indeed.
Basically you take high-quality cameras and sound equipment, find a band, and convince them to run away and play a mini-set in some randomly-chosen nearby urban locale. The results are simply fabulous.
For instance: Even if you don’t particularly enjoy The Arcade Fire, how can you resist the charm of an entire 8-piece band playing packed comfortably into a freight elevator. It’s really quite hard to miss the feeling.
There really is something for everybody.

Song: Empty
From album: Further Shore
[Buy CD[2]][Website]
He plays super-tight indierock. He is from Japan. He has tuneful vocals and makes charmingly boisterous and sensitive guitar sounds and clicky crashy drum sounds. He is not boring to listen to. He is worth getting to know. He is fun to take with you on car rides.
Now that you know him, I hope you can enjoy your new life together.

Song: A Stranger
From album: Aoi
Genre: Gilded Spacyness
[Buy CD|Mp3s][Website]
This song is a giant golden Buddha statue floating above some foggy downtown neighborhood. It starts emitting shiny sound waves, making heads turn all over the city. Makeshift rope-ladders are improvised and flung in tandem. People climb through the air in pursuit of dance. A new landscape is discovered beyond city walls. They climb and sway and swing, in the sun and awe.
I’m not sure where or when I found out about Ayuo, but they are definitely interesting.
