Ok, so The Boredoms show last night was insane. I've uploaded this picture I took of the layout. Again, they played in circular formation with the audience around them, which I guess is called "in the round," and I'm not sure who came up with that but I hope it's a lost in translation thing.

The Boredoms put out a lot of crap, and their live show is sometimes a little overwhelming. However, there were moments last night (particularly during the first song -- anyone who was there back me up here!) where I was watching three drummers playing in syncopation, and Eye beating the shit out of like a Trident made of electirc guitars (see behind him in pic) and then the bass hits from his synth and I have to say I can't not love them for getting away with this shit. It is so over the top and amazing.

So my friend helped my buy one of their rare releases last not on vinyl (Rebore remix from UNKLE) and I realized that I only have their two best recordings (Super AR, and Vision Creation Newsun) on CD.

This needs to change, so I'm enlisting the help of TokyoMango blogger Lisa Katayama, to help me track down at least one of these on vinyl through a source other than eBay. I was banned on eBay. I can't remember if that was for inappropriate chat, or for something else, but I like can't buy stuff there anymore which is lame. 

In any case, maybe we'll find a great used record webstore in Japan!
