I was listening to Eklektikos this morning, and John Aielli played a Puffy song, “Planet Tokyo”. I had recently borrowed the cd from my friend Mikey, and really like it. It’s pretty much like a lot of their older discs, fun and catchy. You can pick up bits and pieces of tons of other songs. Their “Teen Titans” song sounds a lot like “Secret Agent Man”.
I find it funny that in their American songs, they pronounce Tokyo just like an American: the “kyo” part rhymes with “neo”, while the Japanese pronounciation’s “kyo” rhymes with “flow”. I love when they sing in English! But my favorite songs by them have to be Pool Nite from Spike and Nichiyoobi No Musume because it’s got that surf music style.
I was so happy that we got to see them play during SXSW a few years back! Here’s a few pictures from the show:
