I refuse to throw away my barely full bottles, just so I can smell what I wore in grade 9. The smell does remind me of some of my most awkward and anxious years of my life, but also the fun times when I thought it was the best day ever and nothing could ever get better than this.

Summary below the cut:

Nature made Ash beautiful; Nurture made him a killer! VICE CITY: NEW YORK IN THE 80s... Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer. A runaway brought up as the adopted heir and sex toy of “Papa” Dino Golzine, Ash, now at the rebellious age of seventeen, forsakes the kingdom held out by the devil who raised him. But the hideous secret that drove Ash's older brother mad in Vietnam has suddenly fallen into Papa's insatiably ambitious hands--and it's exactly the wrong time for Eiji Okamura, a pure-hearted young photographer from Japan, to make Ash Lynx's acquaintance... Epic in scope, and one of the best-selling shojo titles of all time in Japan, Akimi Yoshida put an electric shock into the genre and gained a huge crossover audience through Banana Fish's stripped-down, non-stop style.

Melt-Banana — 3 + 5 (A-Zap!)

A squeak, a screech, a battery of tortured guitar sounds, an ear-piercing chant, and they’re off. It’s been 11 years have elapsed since the last Melt-Banana album, a geologic era in pop culture terms, but the duo of Yasuko Onuki and Ichiro Agata seem remarkably unaltered. 3+5 sparkles and blitzes and caterwauls, a sugar-y tuneful-ness glittering amidst jolts of industrial noise.

These songs hurtle forward like an amusement park ride, they rush, they swoop, they hang you upside down then careen back to safety, delighted screams trailing. The pack maximum sensation in brief, adrenalized containers, the sounds a heart-pounding blur. “Hex” judders to life on a sped-up Talking Heads riff, dodges shrapnel from incoming percussion and musters an undeniably anthemic chorus in trebly Minnie Mouse register. It’s over two and a half minutes but feels like a universe.

“Stopgap” is even shorter, a rocket launch of a cut, all strobe-lit stabbing guitars, battering how-am-i-going-to-keep up drumming and a shrieking spatter of verbiage. “Flipside” sounds a lot like the Lightning Bolt, which is to say molten and out-of-control and full of strident joy. Everywhere, Melt-Banana is going as fast as it can, moving like heat-excited particles in a physics experiment, and every jerk and punch and explosion is precisely timed and executed. Yasuko is famous for insisting that she’s not influenced by anyone, but you could draw lots of connections to noise artists from Japan and elsewhere: OOIOO, the Boredoms, Deerhoof and Otoboke Beaver.

This is a Red Bull of an album, a total kick in short bursts but likely a strain on your heart in larger doses. I wondered what this kind of mayhem would look like, on stage, and found this video. Nice place to visit. Living there would kill me.
