cali≠gari, again

Friday, April 3rd, 2009 by boo

caligari

Hey old school VK fans. I was strolling through the VK graveyard preparing a solemn plot for SUGAR when to my astonishment I came upon the desecrated grounds of the long dead and buried cali≠gari (Kah-Ree, Gah-Ree) whose members scattered to the various winds in the Summer of 2003. It seems the band with the weird symbol in their name is back… for a limited time only with a new single cali≠gari no Sekai (A cali≠gari World) dropping on May 20th. This includes a one time limited engagement reunion concert at ZEPP TOKYO on the 20th of June.
Dreams do come true! Albeit with a firm expiration date on them.

FYI: Anyone notice that this “single” costs 3,000 Yen for the regular edition sans DVD??? Is it perhaps made of solid gold? Inquiring minds and gold investors want to know.

Buck-Tick – memento mori: Did You Remember to Die?

Monday, March 30th, 2009 by Sarah

Laundry. Check. Take out the trash. Check. Pick up a gallon of milk. Check. Remember to die. Check!

memento mori (First Press)

The album art remembered to die.

Thank the powers that be for Buck-Tick. Without their blatant message and title track of their new album, memento mori, I may just forget one of the most important things on my list of life’s to-do’s. For those of you Latin buffs, memento mori roughly translates to “remember to die,” though it’s not explicitly a command. Regardless, memento mori demands that I take notice of an often morose, sadistic, yet surprisingly optimistic message that only B-T can properly convey.
