There is but one appropriate way to celebrate Labor Day if you’re a J music-obsessed podcast constructionist like myself. A lot of beer and a new episode of Nihongaku Radio! There’s a ton of new music on this one including tracks from Polysics, Nano.RIPE, Androp and Art School. Get to it!

A couple of things I mentioned in the show: Peelander Yellow spent Labor Day painting a mural on the side of a bar in Austin, TX called Hole in the Wall. You can check out some shots from the painting process on my shiny new Flickr page.
