Well well well, our favourite Canadian hard rocker, Bif Naked has a new single, and it is properly crunchy and kick butt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TttL...

Band-Maid getting more recognition in the North American music market. 😁🤘

At my age, waking up can feel like season 8 of Game of Thrones: rushed, painful, lame and ultimately unsatisfying. 🐲👨‍🦳🥺

Merry PhotoShopped (not AI) Band-Maid Christmas. I'll be watching their 2021 acoustic Christmas concert this morning, the one with the audio commentary as that has the most Ho Ho Ho merriment associated with it.

A bit of pre-Christmas cheer and weirdness. North of the Border is a Canadian living in the UK, making strange creations in clay and clay by-products. Here we have "Nightmare Before Christmas" meets "The Thing". Sweet dreams. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkwp...

It was nice to be gifted a tray of Nanaimo Bars from a friend's kitchen. 🤤So much better than store bought. The cool thing about Christmas baking season. Can I make them last into the New Year?🤔

OK, this is a nerdy music video post. Is there a lineup of Japanese music video production companies to shoot at this cliffside location? 🤔The first picture is from Atarashii Gakko!s promo for their new song "Sailor, Sail On" and the second image is from Band-Maid's "Present Perfect" video.

This rising tide of amazing Japanese rock bands created by young women is so cool. This is from their new release MEME and it is proper rock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-02...

Every once in a while YouTube just offers up some unexpected musical gems, that's what happened today with Music Omotenashi Sisters. A Japanese brass ska/dance band with a huge sound. Deserving of a wider audience www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wjI...

This new Band-Maid video is a statement of intent. Over 1.6M views in 3 weeks. They describe this as their calling card, repreentative of where they are as they start their 13th year together. A spectacular location for the video as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzSd...

Amanita Muscaria are having a rave in my front lawn.

Band-Maid always deliver a great experience when purchasing their CD/Blu-Ray packages. Includes a bonus CD of walk-on music, a poster, a special pick with the Dilly-Dally song logo. Always feels like a worthwhile purchase.

I downloaded the new EP from iTunes last night. Band-Maid are really exploring incredibly interesting aspects of composition and performance. This might be the most unusual song on the EP and it might be my favourite on the EP. 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gE2...

Since Band-Maid still isn't on Bluesky, I'll post a link to their new video which is just amazing. Band-Maid always impresses with what is becoming an absolute unique genre of one band's music. This song is about them conquering the world with their music. Ganbatte! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzSd...

It's not actual robbery if Grok and ChatGPT5 are using the jewels to train their A.I. 😒

Well that is just crazy intense good, 😍 I'm surprised Akane and Kanami didn't need to be carried off the stage after this song was done, they had such intense instrumental work to do. They teased this a couple of months ago. Dropped with the new EP announcement. 😲 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I6V...

One episode in and Alien: Earth is like a combo of Alien and Aliens, way better horror than Alien: Romulus, less reliance on jump scares. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOeG...

Well James, you've got a Supergirl movie coming up, not a better band on the planet to do a Supergirl movie theme. Just sayin'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UICK...

At the 29:30 mark James Gunn talks about using Band-Maid's "Choose Me" in season 1 of Peacemaker and then goes on to say they are one of his top 5 bands in the world. They are my number one band, so I get it James, good choice.👍👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK1y...

I do enjoy watching techy/nerdy musician song reactions where they use track separation software that highlights just how dense and complex Kanami's compositions are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLtm...

Well that is just a banger. Kanami is completely unleashed in this new song. #bandmaid www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kMI...

I'm curious, what is the success rate of anyone trying to remove a single battery through the trapdoor opening in the cardboard back of a battery blister pack? I eventually end up tearing most of the cardboard off just to get one battery out. Have the package designers ever tried this?🤨

That far too pointed reminder that this bug is not done with us yet. I presume that Tanita was in the UK for both infections.

This is cool, HiDive is available through Amazon Prime, so I've got some binge watching to do to catch up on the anime "Rock is a Lady's Modesty". Band-Maid wrote and performed the theme and played all the musician character's motion capture. I'm in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO-f...

This time fer sure www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPvK...

More snippets of the upcoming full video of the live performance of Ready to Rock. Akane's drums in this live version are just bonkers, it's a good thing this is the last song of the evening as Akane must be about ready to spontaneously combust by the end. www.youtube.com/shorts/lBkdx...

It amazes me that this song can be performed live without having Akane pass out from the drum work. The BTS video of the music video had Akane and Kanami laying on the floor after a few takes. This suggests that a full live version is coming. 👍😲 www.youtube.com/shorts/bQDrc...

I'm in Band-Maid nerdvana, new merch just arrived, a bunch of new T shirts, and these 5 tiny maids. I am at an age where I am easily amused, it would appear.

A couple of impressive milestones, Band-Maid has reached 750,000 subscribers on YouTube and their latest video Ready to Rock is on the verge of hitting 2 million views in 5 weeks.

Patiently, or possibly impatiently, awaiting shipping notification for a batch of band merch in the next week or so. 😏🤘

Well done Band-Maid, Ready to Rock has already reached 1 million views in 2 weeks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eapN...

Wowzer, this Band-Maid opening song from "Rock is a Lady's Modesty" anime is an absolute shredfest, this is considerably more intense than Zen and Shambles or Protect You. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eapN... It fits the vibe of the anime, and the band even does some mo-cap.

Just came across a graphic I created about a month after discovering Band-Maid a few years ago. Still applies. And here's a PSA, this is a metaphorical image, do not actually poke a key in your ear.

The properly bonkers tongue of Suzuka from Atarashii Gakko!

It's always entertaining to be talking on the phone when a black bear wanders by the patio door about 1m away (plus a glass door) from where I'm sitting. It's inevitably a bigger surprise for the person on the other end of the call who must be assuming it's come into my house from the sound I made.

Well that is just crazy cool. Not only did Band-Maid create the opening theme for this new anime "Rock is a Lady's Modesty", they also did the mocap for the musicians in the anime. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x9m...

If there was going to be a candidate for some theme music for International Women's Day, this would have to be in the running for top five. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVl0...

I see that Band-Maid have another new song coming as an anime intro, they are becoming the queens of anime, and this latest anime is about an all female rock band. And they have taken the darkness up a notch in their new battle armour. 🤩 Those are spikes on Saiki's shoulders.

I've got my ticket for the web stream of Band-Maid from their July 14, 2024 show, it's available from 8PM PST Feb 28. You can get a general public access for 4500 Yen for a week access or 6000 Yen for a one month access on Zaiko l-tike.com/bandmaid/ I'm really looking forward to this show.

Oh yes, new live Band-Maid. Shambles is just amazing, and 4000+ views in the first 45 minutes since it was released!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmFY...

Our favourite Pigeon from Band-Maid getting ready to perform at Liquidroom today (in Japan), while keeping herself healthy with a Miffy mask. 👍😷 Rumour has it that Band-Maid will perform some Cluppo songs.

For anyone curious about what all the Band-Maid buzz is about I just came across this tidy Band-Maid primer. It's quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd-C...

OMG, I want a jar of her voice to spread on my toast in the morning, what a gorgeous voice. Rich and buttery smooth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycwh...

For those that have followed Dianna Cowern (aka Physics Girl) on social media for years (especially the last few with her long covid battle) this is such good news. www.youtube.com/shorts/2ntx9...

The snowpocalypse is upon us. 😬 If you are a snowman builder, you'd be loving this, it is the perfect snowman snow consistency.

I've received my 2025 Band-Maid desktop and wall calendars so I have something to look forward to each month, revealing another band member. 😊

Band-Maid posting YouTube teasers for their new video for Zen, this is Misa, their bass player's turn to be featured. The full video already has 965K views since Jan 12. www.youtube.com/shorts/kgIMz...
