The main-line MVP series hits 10 posts AND this is the third (or fourth?) premiere in the past week AND we have two acts in a row that include a period in their official name. Fun!

If you are aware of Haku., chances are you have heard their cover of “Mono no Aware” [*giggle*] but in general give the band a chance. They have some tricks which shift here or there but they retain their central style even as they explore some interesting mixes and progressions.

For instance, try out “Patapata Cat” (especially true for fans of One Cut of the Dead) and “Looking through the universe with my subtle double eyelids“.

Seems like they have a new album (combining bits from a couple of EPs? It is hard to tell without the full tracklist) coming out soon.

My Music Video Picks [MVP] is a series of posts highlighting various music and dance videos from Youtube (usually). No particular schedule (sometimes lots, sometimes little). It might not even all be music or dance videos. Absolutely picked by me, though. Usually I have to like both the song and the video, but we’ll see.

You can see the most recent songs here: [Doug’s] Music Video Picks [Youtube Playlist]. Size of that list will change as the mood strikes. Playlist might contain spoilers for unpublished posts. Just enjoy.
