The first time I heard Shonen Knife (http://www.shonenknife.net/english/) was maybe '92 or so on KLZR in Lawrence, Kansas. At that time it was a pretty cool radio station playing mostly alternative music. The song I heard was My Favorite Town Osaka.
As soon as I found out the name of the band, I went and bought Let's Knife, which includes this song: Riding on the Rocket.
Shonen Knife always puts a smile on my face and a Hello Kitty in my heart.
From their album Rock Animals:
Brown Mushrooms
Tomato Head
From their album Brand New Knife:
Wind Your Spring
From various other albums:
It's a New Find
Mass Communication Breakdown
Still with me? In that case, you might be interested in these cuts from their very first album, Minna Tanoshiku, which was released on cassette in Japan in 1982.
Miracles, which can be compared to Miracles from the album Burning Farm.
Parallel Woman
Burning Farm, which you can compare with Burning Farm from 1992's Let's Knife. If you like any of those songs, you can read more about the album here. You can also download that very rare album there. When I tried, the bandongo.com link didn't work but the zshare.net link did. I didn't try downloading from the megaupload.com link, but it looks as if the file's still there.
Philip, enjoy!
