Diddy’s Asian Persuasion V: Sunday 21/8 12.00 BST

[Diddy]

Well this is a little impromptu but since I’m still stuck under quarantine I thought I’d throw this out there.

I’d been thinking about this for a while but never quite got around to it, but in the words of the revered Ms Shanny Twanny, why not?(!)

Don't start until 12.00 BST dear

 

[Diddy]

Should I tag people? I don’t want to harass people (for a change)
Well maybe @Haiku because he’s not always around

 

[Diddy]

Ok well I’ll just tag @Queen of the Bay @COB @ButterTart @Tisch @Iguana as well and just leave it up to fate now I’m going to bed.

But if this thread is dead when I wake up then I won’t do it, these ones take ages to put together and I don’t want to do that and end up like my sync listen thread

 

[Marina Salty]

Dates & times are very beach appropriate, I can join from the chaise longue.

 

[ButterTart]

I've gone for 1pm British clock time as I think that's my best chance of being able to make it. 12 would probably also work for me, mind.

Is Sunday out?

 

[Diddy]

Just another bump to raise awareness etc

I think I will go for Sunday, I’m feeling I leeeeettle bit stressed out trying to rush this together, and the pills are making me sleepy too.

I hope @ButterTart can make it tomorrow - but if you were waiting expectantly, by all means rewatch one of my older ones -
I recommend No3!

 

[ButterTart]

Is Sunday out?

Hold the front door, I didn’t spot Sunday options . Yeah I’m good for either day in that case

 

[Diddy]

I’m uncharacteristically ahead of schedule and it’s all ready for me to push the button

 

[Diddy]

So who's in this afternoon? Starting in T-Minus 18 minutes

 

[Diddy]

I should tag some people I guess - @ZenGiraffe @Haiku @ButterTart @Queen of the Bay - thanks for your expressions of interest.

See if I can rope in @Tisch @Iguana @COB @straightorbroken ... who else gives me points sometimes? @Lucille @HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid maybe?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm rushing back from the shop so hopefully will be there in time

 

[Diddy]

Don't trip over
I've just finished the second Evangelion rebuild movie, so I'm baffled and ready to go

 

[Diddy]

Oohh @Marilyn you too

 

[Diddy]

Can a @Moderator get rid of the unsightly poll now we don't need it? xx

 

[Diddy]

First post updated with the playlist for you TV sync people

It's here too though

 

[Diddy]

IS anyone else here, or is this going to be like my Ayumi sync disaster? Otherwise I'll just pass the baton to Haiku

 

[COB]

I need to go out in a minute, I'm sorry

 

[Diddy]

Well if anyone is there, please press play in 1 minute

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Diddy]

Thanks, I know you won't like all of it, but I hope you like something

CHAPTER ONE - DYNAMIC MOTION

Perfume - Plasma
Perfume always have great intros, and new album "Plasma" was no exception. I can't get enough of this one, and if this doesn't titilate you a little bit, then I don't think we are in the same headspace at all. Stream Plasma (the album, not the white-hot state of matter).

 

[Diddy]

I know it's weird starting with one without a video but it's great and short.

Any of these thread watchers going to weigh in?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Plasma was a bit vibey for my tastes. Tits out hooks and bops please

 

[Diddy]

It's grown on me, but I guess I have to realise it's an evolution - although it does feel like a bit of a pot pourri of their older stuff. Agreed though, more bangerz needed

 

[Diddy]

Wednesday Kampanella - Aladdin

I admit I was pretty crushed when "Ra" flopped at ASFM, I thought Moopy would love it. I still do, and while Wednesday Kampanella's experimental back cat isn't always for me, "Aladdin" had a lot of the same traits that made me fall in love with "Ra". I wish the singer hadn't changed these days though.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Much more like it!

 

[Diddy]

This does have unhinged subtitles too, FYI

 

[Diddy]

Justice 4 Ra

 

[ZenGiraffe]

We all love an ALADDIN HARDWARE STORE

 

[Diddy]

We all love an ALADDIN HARDWARE STORE

It's a cave of wonderful bargains!

Sekai no Owari - Habit

Sekai no Owari (End of the world) are a hugely successful Tokyo 4-piece, with acclaimed live performances and experimental music styles. Also one of them is a clown. That aside, Habit is the latest smash for them, along with a popular TikTok bum-shaking dance.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Also one of them is a clown.

HATE IT

 

[Diddy]

HATE IT

The song or the clown?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The clown. Song's alright

 

[Diddy]

Denki Groove - Fake it

I admit I was pretty annoyed when "Shangri-La" megaflopped at ASFM, I thought Moopy would love it. I still do, and while Denki Groove's experimental back cat (and recreational drug use) isn't always for me, "Fake it" has the same sort of 90s dance crunch that made me fall in love with "Shangri-La". It really puts me back in the era of Basement Jaxx and Chemical Brothers, which I was happy to hear was happening in Japan at the same time.

Perfume - Flow

YEAH WELL the first one was only an intro, and I just wanted to. I just love these girls so much, very excited to see them on the Plasma Tour next month. So as a treat, to close the first chapter, here is another lush electronic slice of dreamy pop.

OH PISS
well it's good, there are a load of guys in speedos

 

[Diddy]

Good job you're the only one here to know there's a missing song
