Beasts From The East/touyou Kanon Podcast

This official hat trick mark of our podcast is a fresh new mix of styles, incorporating classical orchestras (covering video game music, no less), sprinklings of salsa and latino flavor, electro-pop, underground livehouse rock (courtesy of some performers from the IRO IRO bi-monthly event in Tokyo--hosted by our good promoter pal Tom Melesky), hip-hop, and remixed dance jams.The closer tune for today's show is from Murkdaddyflex, who's a trained instrumentalist, and a creative crate digger who offered up his tune "Java."  There's some koto playing in the background near the 1:20 mark, and it's a sweet tune.  All of his work is free for your downloading pleasure.  His site is murkdaddy.flex.bandcamp.comSpecial thanks go out to T.O. Lawrence at Cinephiles Anon (cinephilesanon.com, http://www.flickr.com/photos/cinephilesanon/) for the cosplay pictures he took at Anime Weekend Atlanta back in September, and our roving reporter Zach Collins for the interview with Akabane Vulgars on Strong Bypass at the J-Pop Summi
