Classic Pizzicato 5 Promo

Here's an old Pizzicato 5 promo that I thought was pretty cute. It's got an old, 1960s schtick to it, and a cameo from Tanaka Tomoyuki (aka Fantastic Plastic Machine). It's all in Japanese, but even if you don't understand what's being said, it's still quite charming. I hope you enjoy it!

Miaou

I just stumbled across these guys, and feel bad for not discovering them sooner. Miaou is an indie rock trio formed in 1998, consisting of Tatsuki Hamasaki, and sisters Hiromi and Mayumi Hasegawa.

A lot of their music has a dreamy, optimistic quality to it. The songs are all instrumentals, with guitar playing a very prominent role as well as plenty of soothing synths and some organ too. There's touches of Smashing Pumpkins, and Radiohead in the guitar work, but with a less gloomy undertone to it all.

This is definitely sleepy Sunday stroll music if you ask me. It's really beautiful stuff.
