Heh, it's good to agree with Dave on *some* things. I've listened
to Shonen Knife and seen a couple of these bands live (Cibo Matto
and Pizzicatto 5 or whatever their name was) and I'll tell you,
truly, I came away with my butt completely intact....
Cibo Matto was "cute," I guess (the chicken suit was funny, etc.),
and Sean Lennon gives them cachet, but a good band? I dunno, I just
can't see it. You been smokin' that devil weed in Nashville, CK???

And it seems to be that Shonen Knife has probably had more success in
the US than any other Japanese band. They had a bunch of
albums out here and some hipster cred for awhile, no?
