Re: Shit or Hit: The Vapors - Turning Japanese
I’m not keen. The genre - spiky new wave pop - is one I’m particularly fond of, but this has always been cringey, second division stuff. There’s worse things, I guess, but I’d never rush to hear it. Not shit, not hit.

Good Lord.

Yep, nailed it, Ted.

I am guessing the Japanese do masturbate quite a lot. It's a cultural thing.

Hooky as hell. Not quite the quintessence of Power Pop of that era, but a fair representation. I liked it then, but don't feel the need to hear it again.

The Jags were better at it.

Do you like this version better?
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

You were expecting "Non-Alignment Pact" maybe?

I just listened to that. I don't thank you for the experience.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
