Putchfork front page contains three articles related to Asia! 1. China Imposes Performer Bans After Bjork Outburst The obligatory critical article about China. Upon read, you will find it to be vague and pompous.
2. Karen O Debuts New Side Project With Silly Name The band is called The Native Korean Rock & The Fishnets. Putchfork references it as a silly name. Meanwhile Clap Your Cheeks And Say Yeah and Royskippy, have become household names at Putchfork. There is a link to The Native Korean Rock's myspice. There are four streaming tracks, and photos of topless (Korean?) divers.
3. Guest List: Ponytail Ponytail is a fore running band from the thriving Baltimore music scene, featuring guitarist, Dustin Wong. Dustin Wong is also a member of the guitar duo group, Ecstatic Sunshine, and has worked alongside relatively famous Dan Deacon. Wong answers questions about his pop culture tastes, and says he once had a good time in Japan. Wong's face in the band photo featured on Putchfork's main page is the most obscured.
And why haven't Shugo Tokumaru's new band, The Gellers, become huge, yet alone be mentioned on the influencial to mass music opinion, Putchfork? They blow away most of the other bands out there right now. Check them out. http://www.myspace.com/gellers
