Acute – Murder Notice (SMRT Records)
It seems like punk's fascination with Japanese bands has begun to wane a bit in recent years. This interest initially seemed like something of a holdover from the era before internet ubiquity, the time when well-kept secrets tended to stay that way. Japan's relative geographical isolation (at least from punk hotbeds) caused its scene to develop somewhat in isolation.
Netflix Nerdery #4
After a brief conversation with a former coworker of mine last week, I came to the conclusion that I’m not funny. He asked me a question about something I wrote for my last column, and whether the words I chose were supposed to be humorous.

Mammane Sani et son Orgue – La Musique Électronique De Niger (Sahel Sounds/Mississippi Records)
To identify Mammane Sani Abdoulaye's place in Niger's musical canon is a difficult proposition, as his work has been able to rest comfortably at a variety of crossroads without seeming to decide on a single path.

DAILY RECORD: Nails

Confession time: I've been aware of Nails for a few years now but never listened to them, solely because they feature an ex-member of Terror and happened to come out around the same time that a lot of people from tough guy youth crew hardcore bands were latching onto faster, more aggressive strands of music, typically with pretty uninspired results (the sort of thing detailed by the occasionally great Weekend Nachos in their song “Jock Powerviolence”).
