Shoku/radio will be returning in early January 2008! While I've been itching to create new episodes, life in Tokyo is extremely busy, not to mention winter break is right around the bend. Thanks for listening to all the older episodes, though! The next episode will probably be a half hour of talk and music, plus a short talk on Metronome's late December live at Shibuya. If anyone has any suggestions, questions, requests, send them to shokuradio@podomatic.com~~~~

  -J

There will be tons of new releases and indies & major music to look foward to, plus concert reviews and alerts on underground bands I stumble upon. Stay tuned. Send me a line if you're in Tokyo area.

Send all messages to shokuradio@podomatic.com, or on this blog.

I'm looking for one or two amiable people with a good sense of humor to do segments on the show! SHOKU/radio has a huge listener base, and I'm thrilled and stunned that it's beginning to reach so many jrock fans even beyond the States.

Here are the requirements:

1. Must have a decent computer microphone and knowledge of how to record an mp3 of voice. I recommend at least a beginner's knowledge of the program Reaper. If you don't have prior recording experience, let me know and I will teach you.
2. Must be available to do a 2-5 minute segment at least once a month until the end of August 2007.
3. Must have a love of Japanese rock and a want to learn more about its various niches.
4. You'll be writing and recording segments on bands, events, lives, current topics, or whatever you want, so be ready to have a good, fun time on the show!

To apply, please send the following information to J @ shokuradio@podomatic.com:

1. Name or nickname
2. Age
3. What got you into jrock? What do you find so interesting about it?
4. Do you have at least a beginner's knowledge of voice recording?
5. What kind of segments would you be interested in writing and recording for SHOKU/radio?
6. Anything else you want to add?
7. Is there really a spoon, Neo?

The cutoff application date is July 10th, but I recommend applying as early as possible.

SHOKU/radio's Episode 11 will be out tonight, with a feature on 12012!

Our metaphorical re-breaking the champagne bottle over the ship podcast is 45 minutes of J's choice of awesome jrock and jpunk -- new and old.
