If the lack of commentary in The Frogcast made you pine for the velvety smoothness of my voice, you're going to love this episode. It's blabberific! (TM) And every time I say "um" you have to take a drink. (Or come to think of it, maybe I should take a drink.)
Show notes:
- My toy collection:
- Audio-Technica AE6100 microphone
- Sony Microphone Mixer MX-50
- iRiver 799
- Sony Clie PEG-NX70V (Palm OS PDA, MP3 player, voice recorder, still & video camera)
- a jumble of cables and adapters
- $30 binaural mics from Good-Audio.com
- Koss "The Plug" earbuds (Learn how to customize 'em!)
- Otofuke's website
- Listen to more of their songs
- Photos from their street performance in NYC
- Photos of them performing on the east side of Shinjuku Station (The side Kabukicho is on.)
- If you like playing with digital photography, definitely check out AutoStitch. I have a gallery of images I made last night and today.
- Ani-Zoo (Pronounced "Zoe")
- Learn all about Golden Week just like I did. Until now I never bothered.
- If you were to download my humble carp streamer photo and use it for your desktop wallpaper, I would be most honored.
- The sad sad Planet's website

Hey- I love your podcasts. But I got to disagree with you, if you were doing the same thing in Pakipsy, you would be on This American Life, which is a great show about America the way your show is about Japan.

It's too bad the only places that sell the sad sad planet's cd's are in Japanese, I thought they sounded really good.

Hello! I know it's December, but I was wondering if Otofuke is still playing around the Shibuya/Shinjuku area.. I really enjoyed Izanai and I am going to be in Shibuya in a few days and I wanted to purchase Butterfly Effect. Thank you!

Otofuke broke up back in June or July. One day they put up an announcement on their web site that all upcoming engagements were cancelled, and they closed up shop. I never heard what happened.
