massive write-up in NME, I'm so ready for this. The Big Read – The Japanese House: “There’s emotion captured in my music, forever” - NME
Love reading this interview with her, though I take partciular offense to this line: For the uninitiated, The Planet is an iconic fictional venue from tragically bad, endlessly influential TV show The L Word. Then goes on to talk about slandering Lip Service lolll. I'm honestly so ready for this album to break me.
I mean, The L Word isn’t necessarily a great show tbh. The writing got pretty bad at times and they really treated their only trans character like shit and treated trans issues in general as a total joke.
Oh yeah, absolutely. It has a lot of flaws and I hope with a reboot they have a chance to address them. I wasn't being too serious with what I said.
Gotcha, I mean I still watched the show and enjoyed a lot of things about it. I really hope they do better with the reboot.
Tbh both The L Word and Lip Service were shows I sought out in my coming out process but it's pretty unfortunate for me that I really identified with Jenny in the first few seasons and then...well we know where that goes. And the way they address trans issues was awful. And Dana. Basically we need a redo. EDIT: And bisexuality.
Is it slower and more introspective like Lilo or does it have more grooves and flow to them like Follow My Girl? Or a decent mix?
New interview! How The Japanese House’s Walls Came Tumbling Down My transparent blue vinyl has been shipped, it's all happening!
Yeah I really like this. Just finished my first listen. Now I want to get tickets to see her in April.
Still waiting for this on Spotify. I’m so ready. Crazy that it’s been four years and we’re finally getting an album.
Wow, this is incredible -- like bring you to tears something special incredible. Only complaint is that I'm not sure I like the intro as an intro -- might've preferred it somewhere else in the sequencing. And I cannot get into "You Seemed So Happy" at all, unfortunately; may have to move it because I feel like it brings the album to a halt.
