(Apologies to the seminal Oxnard punk Band “Stalag 13” for borrowing their awesome artwork! You guys rock!)
Happy New Year! We’re back for the first Top 3 Countdown for the New Year! The best of the Alternative and Indies Rock Bands in the best Top 3 countdown!
First up, at #3 is a folk punk band from Los Angeles, California and their name is “Girlpool.” Its members are Cleo Tucker (guitar, vocals) and Harmony Tividad (bass, vocals). The band does not have a drummer. So there!
At #2 is another cool band. When I saw this for the first time, for some reason, it reminded me of the Buzzcocks, and that can’t be bad! This is a trio from London. It’s cool. Here’s their tumblr page: http://primitiveparts.tumblr.com/
At number one is a band that appeared in out “Top 50 Hits of 2015” (FM radio version! In fact, they were aired 12/27/15 and 01/03/16!) From Los Angeles, it’s Prima Donna. Go “Like” their Facebook page. I know you want too! (https://www.facebook.com/PrimaDonnaOfficial/?fref=ts)

First up today is a “Heavy Rock Punk Metal” band from Brazil. Wait! What? “What is Heavy Rock Punk Metal from Brazil? Well, you are about to find out. The lead singer, Renato sent this to me and I thought “WTF?” Alright! A band member who actually sent me their music! OK! I’ll play it! Hats off to Brazilian Heavy Rock Punk Metal! Go “Like” their Facebook page or they might haunt your dreams: https://www.facebook.com/jxnxax/
At #2 is a band we’ve been playing on our Sunday radio show quite a lot! They are called Sunflower Bean. They are a trio from Long Island/Manhattan (I guess that’s somewhere close to New York City). They describe themselves as “Night Music.” I think this is way cool! Go “Like” their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/SunflowerBean/
This week’s #1 is a band from Amsterdam named, “St. Tropez.” DIY magazine says, “…they give a glam touch to straight-up rock ‘n roll, mixing talk of being “unbelievers” with religion-shunning hedonism. Like previous efforts, the track comes mixed by Spring King’s Tarek Musa – the surest seal of approval required for amped-up goodness these days.”
SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! The Neatbeats! The Neatbeats are one of, if not thee, best rock and roll bands in Japan! They are called the “Japanese Beatles” in some circles and douchebags think that is simply a cover for a copy band, but no way with these guys. The Netabeats are what the Betales would have been if they didn’t become hippies and drop too much acid.
The Neatbeats – Japan’s Best Rock and Roll Band?
The Neatbeats just returned from a tour of Spain and they have fans all over Europe! Of course, their shows in Japan get sold out consistently! The Neatbeats will star in an independent Rock and Roll Horror film in Japan in 2016 (A Japanese Rock N Roll Ghost Story) so they are happening! I love this band! And they are all nice guys and are totally Indie and have the true Rock N Roll Heart! Come and “Like” their Facebook page! (https://www.facebook.com/theneatbeats/?fref=ts)

It’s the last Cool & Strange Music Countdown for 2015! Welcome! I promise you that you will laugh and dig today’s tunes BIG TIME! (If you like this countdown every week, please come “Like” our Robot55 Facebook page (or friend us on Twitter or subscribe to our Youtube page). Thanks!)
Today’s first video is a sidesplitting number done by American comedian Eddie Murphy. This was a skit of Saturday Night Live whereby he parodies James Brown – and does a hilarious job of it too! It’s James Brown’s Celebrity Hot Tub Party! And now, here he is – the Godfather of Soul, and hot tub man number one – Jaaaaaaaaaaames Brown!
On last week’s Cool & Strange Music Countdown, we got rave reviews for the hilarious video about Vladimir Putin! Thanks! But fear not comrades! This week we have another mind-bender about our favorite hero! This is pretty funny and some people might think I like bashing Putin so watch out for the surprise ending!
Today’s countdown has a decidedly Rock and Roll edge to it. First up is an animation that is completely made up from still photos. This might be the best adaptation yet to Electric Six’s “Gay Bar” from 2003. In the Electric Six original, Abraham Lincoln was the hero of the video, but in today’s, Bennie Melwin has updated us quite a bit and uses Vladamir Putin! The creepiness, as well as the quality of the animation, just make it perfect.
Next up is a fab band from Cambodia of all places. This band has several really good videos but I picked this one today because of all the foreigners in it. It reminds me (and inspires me) of all the great foreign bands we have in Japan. Srey Thy, lead singer of The Cambodian Space Project, was recently appointed as a Good Will Ambassador for UNiTE, a campaign to stop violence against women worldwide.
Finally, just in time for Star Wars is a band from Los Angeles that has been making waves and been getting airplay on the world-famous KROQ! The band is called “The Rebel Scumbags” and they describe themselves as a “Geek n Roll” band.This song is hot and funny! Just released on December 14, so it’s hot off the presses! Thanks once again to Kona Cindy for the hot tip!
Time once again for the Top 3 Video Countdown! My favorite new Top 3 Indies artist’s discoveries for the week of Dec. 18, 2015.
At #3 is a new artist from Florence, Alabama. The group has six members that includes an accordion and glockenspiel and they make quite a delightful and interesting sound. Their Facebook page says, “We’re creepy…but in a good way.” Check it out. This is hot!
At #1 is a song that is a collaboration between White Lung and Pink Mountaintops; they call it “Pink Lung.” This song was made in time for Halloween and was released on a compilation by a sports shoes company… The album is called, “CONS EP Vol. 3.”
And finally, our spotlight artist of the week! It’s our fave group from Osaka, the 50 Kaitenz (in English “The 50 Rotations”). “Where the heck have these badboys been on our countdowns recently?” you ask? Well, judging from this video, I guess they were in China! The 50 Kaitenz never cease to amaze me (as well as crack me up!) Confucius say, “You go ‘Like’ Facebook page now! Right now! Go!” (https://www.facebook.com/the50kaitenz/?fref=ts)

Lots of people have been wondering what’s up with the new Star Wars movie. Some have high expectations; some expect Disney to screw it up!
But, as my regular readers know, I work in the mass media and I have had access to a private viewing of the film ! Yes! I have seen it and Disney doesn’t disappoint!
In the climax scene, Solo is valiantly (but vainly) fighting it out with the evil Darth Vader. Chewbacca tries to help, but what good is a simian versus the Dark Side? Just as Vader is about to lop off Solo’s head and end his life, Buzz Lightyear appears yelling, “To infinity and beyond” as he zaps the light saber out of Vader’s hands and scoops up Solo in an exciting rescue scene!

Welcome friends! It’s time once again for the Cool & Strange Music Countdown!
Today, first up is a song that is definitely on the “Cool” category. It is Hexstatic. Hexstatic is an English electronic music duo that formed in 1997, that consists of Stuart Warren Hill and Robin Brunson. Hexstatic specializes in creating “quirky audio visual electro.” This is MOST definitely quirky. I think this is brilliant art! We will have more from these two in coming episodes!
#3) Hexstatic – Auto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPrT0Fzzwsg
Next up is a “Cool and Strange Music” classic. It’s by a guy named Stan Freberg. Stan Freberg passed away earlier this year on April 7, 2015. Stan was an American author, recording artist, animation voice actor, comedian, radio personality, puppeteer and advertising creative director, whose career began in 1944. He remained active in the industry into his late 80s, more than 70 years after entering it.
Today’s pick is a Freberg classic. He had a knack for doing quirky and insanely funny TV commercials as well as music. In today’s pick up track, Stan Freberg does both voices of a couple in love who go through difficult times and tragedy as well as making up again…. All with ONLY Stan doing all the dialogue for both our lovers, John and Marsha, AND with only saying names only, he goes through and entire conversation of love, betrayal and reconciliation! The engineers who recorded this when Stan Freberg was in the studio must have either laughed hysterically or thought they were witnessing an insane man. It’s hilarious. Check it out. Listen carefully!
At #1 today is yodeler, Mary Schneider. Mary Schneider is an Australian singer, songwriter and performer, who is a master at the classic Swiss Alpine style, she is best known for yodelling the works of various standards by many a classic composer. Listen to this. There are parts of her yodel where I wonder how it is humanly possible to do this and still breathe? (Especially check at 1:49 and 2:15 and 3:12!)
Incredible!!!!! I’m gasping for air just listening to it.
Today we have a freebie for Cool and Strange Music! It’s two guys known as the “Fancs Brothers.” This is an incredible story. These two guys are NOT professional musicians but they work at an internet company! They just decided one day, “Hey! Let’s make some songs!” and so they did. This video production is by us at Robot55 (Ken Nishikawa did the work… I was snoring on the sofa in the studio!) It blows my mind that two guys, who aren’t musicians, can make such a great (and amusing song)…. Just goes to show how far “just having fun” really can take an artist or a band, no?
ファンコミュニケーションズの柳澤さん＆松本さん（ザ ファンクブラザーズ）の新しいミュージックビデオです！制作はROBOT55のKenとMike(ほとんどKenが働きMikeはソファで昼寝してたけど）ヒット間違いなしの良い曲です！是非みてください。The latest music video from the F@NCS Brothers. Production by Robot55 (Ken & Mike – Mike slept on the sofa – Ken edited) This is a funny parody of 1970s Japanese Folk Music!
