In lieu of my usual song of the week from my set, which this week is going to be almost entirely Japanese girl bands, I give you this by Seattle-area singer/songwriter Joshua Baez. With its slow guitar figure and an ethereal call and response, it puts me in mind of Labradford or perhaps portions of Asche & Spencer's outstanding soundtrack for Monster's Ball. So anyway, this is fine floating-away music, and when you're ready for some uplifting rock, rockabilly, surf, and punk from the distaff side of the land of the rising sun, you know where to find it. The lovely and talented Koi takes over Moby's slot tomorrow night. Hope to see you then.
