What are "Simple Questions?"

Things are progressively getting more insane in the Desert. Up is declared to be down, and out is declared to be in. But these declarations cannot change the laws of nature. They may insist that something is here, when it is not. But I cannot see it, and they cannot prove it to me. It's time to ask some simple questions.

Asobi Sesku is sounding better and better

"Playful Sex," a band fronted by a Japanese-American cherry blossom Yuki Chikudate, has some amazing tunes to its credit. A lot of filler (for example, an awful cover the Crystal's "And then he Kissed Me") takes up much of the lot of their first two albums-- but offers some great gems in between. Their third album "Hush" is much more refined to their unique pop-dream style. You can check out some of their greatest tunes on their Myspace page here.

Meanwhile, enjoy this video of their hit "Thursday", full of nostalgic magic, neglect, regret-- a great sound.
