There was one about mid-period Dylan and politics. The most recent ones were those in response ( 1, 2) to last year's critical brouhaha about Sonic Youth (which is fitting, I guess, considering the more recent noise in response to Steve Albini's remarks about Sonic Youth's activities as major-label pimps, about which I may or may not have something of substance to blog, but for now suffice it to say that for all my considerable love of Sonic Youth, I tend to agree with Albini).
Which is sort of too bad, because some of those music posts weren't too terrible. But it fell by the wayside to such an extent that I didn't even include any music posts in my clip show post from six months ago. I used to write about music a lot here at the blog-with literature and politics, it was the third part of my intended three-prong approach to blogging.
On March 31, 2010, Urayama and U-zhaan left the band. The group's 2005 album, Minna no Junray, featured vocals by singer and actress Kyōko Koizumi. The group's song 'Hana' was featured on Fabric Live 07, while 'Tsuginepu To Ittemita' was included on a The Wire Tapper CD. It was followed a year later by the mini album Tsu Gi Ne Pu. In 2002, the British label The Leaf Label released Jun Ray Song Chang, which compiled the group's first two Japan-only albums. Live, the group used a portable sound-system called 'Jun-Ray Tronics', hence the name the word 'junray', however, also means 'pilgrimage'. They were joined in 2000 by tabla player U-zhaan. After leaving the group in 1993, he formed ASA-CHANG & Junray in 1998 with programmer and guitarist Hidehiko Urayama. ASA-CHANG & Junray is a band founded by Japanese percussionist ASA-CHANG, who was the founder and original bandmaster of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
