micropop for a noisy world: Rock 'n' roll vines
http://micropop.blogspot.com/2008/10/rock-n-roll-vines.html
Thursday, October 23, 2008. Rock 'n' roll vines. Just when we thought manga cool was a tacky thing for academics and government agencies propagating the expansion of Japanese soft power as a subversive means towards hello kitty-faced world domination. A suburban sister and brother who draw for a living blend guitar amps, Freddie Mercury, and old dusty vinyl, a handsome hero, and le beau vin. See the nytimes for a more comprehensive review of their art in " Next Week, our Hero chooses a Médoc".

micropop for a noisy world: Plørk, Slörk, and Ikea
http://micropop.blogspot.com/2009/01/plrk-slrk-and-ikea.html
Monday, January 19, 2009. Plørk, Slörk, and Ikea. The quietly active Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk) invades the West Coast! What we didn't hear about the not-so-remarkable Macworld this year was that the Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk) made its public debut. Using salad bowls from ikea ( oh wait, this reminds me of a Michael Zbyszynski of Berkeley's CNMAT mentioned in the nytimes in 200. 7) they crafted ambisonic-ish speakers. SLork made it onto the apple website. It's 2009, come on. In fact, G...

micropop for a noisy world: September 2008
http://micropop.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 21, 2008. Micropop's Chanteuse of the Week. Brigitte Fontaine and Art Ensemble! This unlikely combo, which, I guess isn't that. Weird if you think about it calmly since I guess the Art Ensemble of Chicago is so cool they're everywhere (especially Paris in les 60 années), and well-connected hip Parisians comme Brigitte get to rock out with cool people. And then there's Art Ensemble. Album: Comme à la radio. Song: Comme à la radio. Out of five stars. Posted by One Woman. Links to this post.

micropop for a noisy world: February 2010
http://micropop.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Tokyo 1969 by Toshi Ichiyanagi. Hats off to Yoko Ono who was absolutely stunning. At the Oakland Fox Theater earlier this week, performing with Deerhoof, Cornelius, along with other special guests (Pikachu of Afrirampo,. Who, IMO is cooler than Satomi of dh, and Harper Simon - aka son of Paul Simon, and a guy named Jarod who "plays 1800 instruments" according to Sean Lennon). The piece uses chance operations inspired by John Cage (who was briefly Ichiyanagi's teacher in nyc)...
