Interested in quirky and unexpected obscure music. Especially have been searching vintage Japanese sounds. That feeling of "what was that !"

If interested further send a DM.

Do you also scroll and search through the posts hoping to learn about music that isn't about what's easily known already ?

I found her music years ago and this is another that has gained a bit more listens on sites.

I chose this track because its just her voice and piano in a kind of way I hadn't really heard before. #nowplaying #listentothis #Japanesemusic #Japanese

I actively search for really short oddity songs and maybe recommendations of them ? Imagine if cats could talk.

Here's a recording of Jon performing, she's fantastic. When I heard her album for Tzadik I started hoovering up her records and DVDs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jqO...

Another 80's fairly obscure band Slow Children. Again it adds little bits of quirky synth that make it interesting to me.

This group is becoming more known it seems. I love this song because of the weird 80's synth. Also shows vintage scenes of NYC.

Even though this is a very short Japanese song , I love how quirky it is. Overall I enjoy songs that are shorter the better.
