Boredoms New DVD/CD!
 

Boredoms to Release New Live CD/DVD, Tour; Yoshimi to Release Documentary OST; You’re Welcome!

 

Do you know how to speak Japanese? Can you learn it? Because if you do or can, then you could be translating Boredoms/V∞redoms news for TMT!
You see, every time there’s news about Boredoms, it’s a pain in the ass to even report it. Why? Everything is in Japanese! I know, I know... the Westernization of Earth is a little behind schedule, but I assure you: with some increased focus on free trade, liberating, and teaching non-white kids English one by fucking one, we’ll one day live in a beautiful world where your favorite beer will be available in every bar, where sites like freetranslation.com will become an internet dinosaur, where any geographic variation will be smoothed out with a good ol’ Rowenta iron.
Until that glorious day comes, we’ll just have to settle for less-than-perfect (imperfect) news stories about Boredoms. Not that what I’m writing isn’t gold or anything. Come to think of it, you should probably be thanking me for my research skills, because boy do I have news for you: Boredoms are releasing a new CD+DVD set December 19! Titled Live at Sunflancisco, the live document will be released on Commmons, the same label that released Super Roots 9 (TMT Review) earlier this year.
AND THERE IS MORE. Yoshimi of Boredoms seems to have written the soundtrack to a documentary. It’s called Yunnan Colorfree, and according to Commmons, it will be released November 21. Or, as freetranslation.com put it: "The truck listing of the documentary film "cloud south COLORFREE" the original sound truck ’YUNNAN COLORFREE’ that YOSHIMI of BOREDOMS manages music arrived. ! !"
Doesn’t that kind of read like a Pitchfork review?
Oh, no I didn’t!

I'm going to see Boredoms next month!!!!

Just a few more days for me... I can't wait!
They've been on top of my "must see" list for years.

Anyway, so this will be another live album? They've just released Super Roots 9 a few months ago... and then there's that retrospective DVD set supposedly coming out sometime in the future. Oh, and of course the 77BOADRUM CD/DVD, another live recording.
Some videos about that one here BTW:

But it's all good, I'm sure.

yay, awesome news!!!

ok, I'm changing my location

Fuck all the Radiohead hype, this is something actually worth being excited about.

yes! new bore means more bore. im going to see em next month in dublin.

Me too! Not long now :D

i'm thinking to go as well!

Me going too! Cant bloody wait

My copy of this arrived from Japan yesterday. I didn't get to watch it all, but what I saw was brilliant.

Anyone else got it?

Do you have a link or anything for this, sonicl??

Yeah, sonicl, tell more.

Bore is my drug of choice.

The DVD is just about impossible to get in the UK, so far as I could tell, so I got mine from cdjapan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCM-45758), for about $45. There seem to be more stockists selling it in the US (SquidCo, EarRational, Fusetronsound), but they're no cheaper than cdjapan.

For a fairly meh review, see japantimes.co.jp. The one at Downtown Music gallery is slightly more useful: www.downtownmusicgallery.com

Basically you have live footage of Boredoms doing the drum trio thing, the picture is sometimes a bit poor, but it's still bloody fantastic.

Yeah, I figured it would be pretty expensive....thanks for the link.

The bonus CD features 2 new tracks: "U-bus" & "Relerer".

That's what REALLY excites me; the 65 minute thing is cool, but I've listened to roughly 10 Vooredoms (and 77Boadrum) bootlegs plus Super Roots 9 so it's probably just the same shit they've been playing for 5 years.

Anyway.. repped.

Yeah, it is pretty much the same stuff they've been doing for the last few years, but when I'm old and can't remember what a fucking brilliant live act they are, I'll have it to remind me.

It's unbelievable, they've been around for 21 years now.

Amazing. Bore on.
