Caede: How Do I Look?
I’ve been living amok in Tokyo for the past month hence the lack of updates. While shopping in Shibuya (Think Williamsburg of Tokyo with the sensory overload of Time Sq) I came across this store called Crisp. It turned out to be one of my favorite Tokyo Stores. Not only were the staff super friendly but there was this great cover of the Clash’s Garageland playing in the store. I immediately pulled a Quentin Tarentino and ask for the CD. It turned out to be the beautiful Caede. Highly recommended for the Japanese Audiophiles who like the cross over talents of Cibo Matto and Cornelius. Caede puts a fun electro touch to the original punk classic. Alphabet Shuffles swims in Tongue in Cheek refrences from Bjork to Zombies without any hint of sarcasm. I honestly don’t think Japanese can be sarcastic cus they are genuinely enthusiastic about anything they talk about.
