Elec shares a photo of himself in a very nice, feathery hat. I’m guessing it’s part of his Goth-y look for Chemical Pictures’ Alice and the Pirates store promotion.

I love that Elec is willing to admit to being a Perfume fan, and gives a very good explanation why. Two things in particular caught my attention: the idea that Perfume are “sort of known over here as being not exactly the prettiest of pop acts” (i.e., they’re kind of fug?) and the fact that Nocchi’s replaced Kimura Kaela as Elec’s celebrity crush.

jrocknyc: review: chemical pictures | “praparat” (pv).

Go shares his opinion on the song and the video, impressed by the overall musicianship and complexity of the song but finding there’s not enough Jimi in the PV.
