i suddenly miss the jim yoshii-pile-up. 

a couple days ago i found my ‘homemade drugs‘ cd in the old long-forgotten drawer.

lotsa forgotten cds in there. i didn’t aware i got “elliott smith – xo” cd. i am also very unsure if i got “elliott smith – either/or” and “new radicals – maybe you’ve been brainwashed too” cd albums or not. i have always wanted to own these. 

so now you know how well-organized i am? ; P

i buy cds and hide them in different corners/drawers/anywhere i could think of that moment, so that i wont get blame from my family for spending too much!

what i want to say here is, i think the jim yoshii pile-up (jypu) possibly split.. although there’s no confirmation or announcement from the band officially but it’s something like that.

Frankie (bass) plays in the Parish: Myspace

Noah (guitar) is in Meanest Man Contest: Myspace

Paul (voice) has solo project called Baby Panda: Myspace

those info is from jypu myspace. i visited jypu official site, there’s nothing updated. obviously it’s been abandoned?!@ and the last album they released was “picks us apart“, released since 2005!

it surprised me to know that Paul of jypu has solo project and esp since last year! where have i been?!? i had never heard of “baby panda” band before in my life! shame on me! ..being jypu’s fan!

releases:

Baby Panda – Some Horrible Miracle EP (jan 2008)

Baby Panda – Enforcer (july 21, 2007)

thats all i know.

#last week

i was crazy about bear-garden and have been missing the sound of good thai electro pop with that cute mix of xylophone. i gathered all albums i have and listen happily. Then, searched google, found out THERE’S NO PANDA RECORDS website T.T see for youself! here

ขอบคุณแฟนๆที่ติดตามเสมอมา

ขอบคุณเพื่อนๆทุกคนและเสียงดนตรีที่เรารัก

แพนด้าขอปิดทำการแต่เพียงตอนนี้ เนื่องจากขาดคนทำงาน โปรดติดตามผลงานของศิลปินที่ทุกท่านชื่นชอบต่อไป

ขอบคุณจากใจ

it is sad to see that a quality local record has no supporters to help with the website. i don’t even know if in a literal sense, only the website or does it include ‘panda records’ as integrity.

i also found p’june’s blogspot (june the bear: bear-garden) take a look

the new album of bear-garden is very interesting. it is the project of releasing single monthly for free download. the album is entitled “a friend like me, don’t be afraid”  there is no tangible cd selling, it’ll be sweet if donation is made to the bear’s. read more here

last but not least, download bear-garden’s song from new album for free at last.fm
