PROFILE: PiPi & Kahka

Seminal R&B masters formed in 2001 in Osaka, Japan. Their soul was so moving and rich that the world couldn't even hear it, only feel a deep rumbling in their intestinal area. Only 2 recorded works by the duo exist somewhere in Beppu Japan. The band split for personal reasons but is still very much alive in the souls of the founding members. With the internet, we can only hope that they find a way to reunite and feel soooo good. (PS, I still have a drum machine dear Captain...)
They inspired the young racuous R&B duo, Ben P. and Gary.

Idea

You know how we do the Rekkids blog. Why don't we start putting all those bands homepages in the links section? I don't know what purpose that may serve but It may end up being a portal to the elclectic to someone with poor musical taste that ends up on our site...

Ressurection

I took Jude to the onsen today and on the way home happened to catch the local FM station auditioning for ending theme songs, so I came home, put Jude to bed and dug out the old MDs from Osaka and early Kagoshima. I was prolific back then. Took a few of my better numbers of of there and even USED the Fluxus blog to locate a track name, now how cool is that.
I have no confidence in these songs but it will be fun anyway, and if I get picked as the ending them, well that is an added bonus.
Peace to you
