Everybody's doing it..

So I'll do it too! I'll post some videos! First off...attack of the JAPANESE MODS!



A little quick tidbit of info that connects this to my favorite band, TSPO...

On vocals for the final band (The Hair), is Rui Sugimura, younger brother of Cleanhead Gimura, the flamboyant "toaster" for TSPO (who unfortunately died around 1995). Rui would join TSPO later for a year, between 1998-1999.

Also, the original guitarist for Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Masayuki Hayashi, was also originally in The Hair...

That's it for now.

U.S. Soccer...

Words cannot describe how disappointed I am that the USSF (United States Soccer Federation) failed to get Juergen Klinsmann, former German national coach, as the next U.S. Men's national coach. I don't know whether the U.S. price offer wasn't high enough, or Klinsmann just honestly isn't ready to take up another coaching position yet, but I'm just really disappointed. Instead, we get Bradley, the current coach of Chivas USA.

I guess, I wouldn't be as disappointed and frustrated if the president of the USSF didn't keep talking big, and delaying the announcement till tomorrow, and all the news hinting that Klinsmann practically got the job. I think that if U.S. soccer really wants to improve, we need to have somebody with international experience...Klinsmann would have been the perfect choice...he had experience in playing for his national team (Germany), a successful result on his first coaching job (taking Germany to THIRD PLACE in this past World Cup), as well as being based RIGHT HERE IN HUNTINGTON BEACH and having a fairly intricate knowledge of the U.S. soccer system (he's been known to train with the L.A. Galaxy from time to time). He was perfect.

But oh well, US Soccer will have to put up with Bob Bradley for the next 6 months...don't get me wrong, he'll probably be a great coach (he has had more wins than any other MLS coach), and probably won't be as much of an ASS as Bruce Arena, but he's no Pekerman or Klinsmann...

EDIT: and the rumours of the reason Klinsmann didn't get the job simply being that U.S. soccer is sponsered by Nike while Klinsmann has a contract with Adidas...That juts fuckign PISSES ME OFF JHDASKJSDHJKASDHKJSDHJKHJKSDHJKHjk
