so as always after my american idol posts i have to go and listen to some real music because i feel guilty about indulging in so much pop culture, haha. so let me share with you someone you've heard of a lot and someone who you've probably never heard of at all.
first up is jake shimabukuro... i love this guy's music. so creative. plus lightning fast on that 'uke which is way cool, i got his latest album "gently weeps," very good, i recommend it highly.
the second is rimi natsukawa, you've probably never heard of her because she's a japanese singer, actually from okinawa and sings japanese contemporary with a little bit of a traditional enka or okinawan twist... anyway, i think she's got just about the purest voice i've ever heard... take a listen to this song (and don't mind the hand motions, i think she's singing a baby lullaby or something weird like that):
and as a bonus... here's jake and rimi with KONISHIKI!!! weird... but not bad (ps - check out the clarinet chorus they got going on):

hey,
where'd you get your necklace thingy for your 2006 indulgence?
it was from pacsun actually... yeah, weird huh? anyway, there was only like two left so i think that it must've been kinda old. i haven't seen anything similar since... only generic kind of stuff like bottle cap openers and stuff...
