SOTD:

Polysics | Electric Surfin’ Go Go | Polysics or Die !!! Vista | Myspace Records | CD ’07

Which is apparently a compilation, but with a significantly different tracklisting than the 2005 Polysics or Die!!! release. Is Polysics or Die !!! Vista a reference to hatred for Windows Vista? Signal of an upcoming war between Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. (Myspace Records … pshh) and Bill Gates’ Microsoft? Hmmm … Anyway, some new songs from a Japan only release, including my song of the day.

My favorite releases of 2007 all morning.
