the keiji haino praising thread
 

any fans in here?

Coolest-looking man on earth.

Much praise for much of his music.
A true inspiration.

yeah, i'm a fan too!

indeed he is amazing.

he and johnny cash and the guys from suicide should've killed off will smith and tommy lee jones to be in that movie "men in black"

Haino is one of the few people who makes me think I don't want to make music. I'm surprised anyone who hears him can bear making, by comparison, utterly pointless and abysmal music. Makes 99.99% of everything else inferior.

i frequently get naked and rub myself with black substances while i scream 'to those headed to yonder void, i say "not that way".'

does anyone think that keiji haino has a girlfriend, or like me do you think he doesn't concern himself with trivial matters of the flesh?

I said it before somewhere, but i will say it here

i listened to Pathetique, and my mind melted

and he needs to come to DC, i will put him up in a nice hotel and free food at the Florida Ave Grill, Ben's Chili Bowl, or the Tastee Diner, his choice

There's some uspeakable darkness in keiji even when's enjoying some ice cream (is that chocolate?).

That's one hell of a cool picture there!

Just found this.Email this guy if you want the recording.

Praise be. Last year's New Rap album with Yoshida Tatsuya was especially great.

long live haino, r.i.p. fushitsusha.

Hiatus! Pray God it's a hiatus. Hiatus.

just so people know, that's not the coil of jon balance & co fame.

fushitsusha is still a somewhat ongoing concern, they played some shows in 2005 at least.

i've avoided him long enough, so what would you recommend for me to buy first? i checked out fushitsusha but alot of their records go for extortionate prices...
i already own the record he did with derek bailey, which is fucking amazing.
any ideas?

I'd go for... um... anything really. Anything. He doesn't do bad records. Perhaps a solo rather than a collaborative record? Sometimes the collaborative records fall foul of other people not being as good as him.

I'm actually completely dumbfounded as to what to recommend. I think you'll either get it or not. Fushitsusha is the place to start, really.

lost aaraaff

as much as i love fushitsusha - and i do indeed love fushitsusha - i'm beginning to think haino is most interesting without the noisy guitar freakouts and without accompaniment. the recent hurdy gurdy albums have been particularly excellent, as have the quieter guitar and vocal ones.

i agree it's difficult to recommend haino albums, but the one's on PSF tend to be more perfect than the others in my experience. Some personal favorites are watashi dake, affection, and nijiumu. More recently the collaboration with Sitar Tah!, both black blues albums, and revealed to none as yet... are high on my list of favorites.

this is one of very few haino related albums i don't like much at all.
