"miracles" is the greatest song ever by an all-female band. and i don't say
that haphazardly.

it's a tough call, but it's pretty certain that whatever the best song by an all female band is, there's a damn good chance it would be by shonen knife.
what about "punk animals"?

"punk animals" is awesome, in my SK top 10; "i wanna eat chocobars", "kappa ex", "tortoise brand pot scrubbing cleaners theme", "flying jelly attack", ridiculous. i'm going to be listening to their cds all day now!

Black bass is a classic.I've never been touched by a song about going fishing before.

i love them. shame about the drummer though.

What about their drummer?

china, she was killed on a van accident when she was on tour with her other band dmbq.

That's awful. I didn't know. R.I.P.

what is your favourite album by them?
i only know know their first two albums (burning farm, yama no attchan) and a few songs here and there... out of the more recent stuff i heard, there were some thing i loved and some things i wasn't so keen on...

"pretty little baka guy/live in japan" is a must-have, but it's hard to find since
PLBG proper has been reissued, sans the live in japan tracks. either way
you'll be hearing greatness.

thanks, i will try to get that one next, then...

i agree, pretty little baka guy/live in japan

their best album, i love the live in japan versions of baggs and lazybone more then the studio cuts

what needs to be done is have jim o'rourke to curate the next atp to highlight the japanese underground, and still barry and helen will insist on inviting bardo pond

antonio baka guy-ice cream city-ah singapore-riding on the rocket-kappa ex

that just might be the greatest single side b on vinyl

Oh and don't you just want to jump while listening to Flying Jelly Attack?Does anyone know Hang On The Box?They're kind of like a chinese version of Shonen Knife in a way.

never knew that! when did that happen.

Love this album here:

yeah, it rocks. got it a while back in my local shop for €2 or something.
