Song of the Day - July 28, 2006

Shonen Knife are often referred to as the Ramones of Japan. After 25 years of existence they are still producing great music. Genki Shock is one of their best albums in recent years. I love the high energy of "S'p'a'm," the otherworldly jazz influenced "Broccoli Man," and the high pitched vocals of "Giant Kitty." However, it is the vocal harmonies, catchy guitar riffs, and the silly story of arachnid death in "Spider House" that intrigued me the most. Click here to listen.
