Interesting snippit:
---
Q: "Boy Boy Boy" is a great "individual" style track I think. Are there any plans to make a single cut?

KH: Certainly lots of people have been saying that - because it's got the straight sort of rocky groove.

hmm.. he didn't really answer the question.

I'll translate more when I have my power adapter in the same place as my laptop

I don't want to get off topic, but did you live in Japan before? I was up in Utsunomiya for 3 years, but recently moved down to Yokohama.

BTW - Karl was at Tower Records in Shinjuku signing autographs last week, but unfortunately I had prior engagements! It is nice though, to have so much of Underworld's attention placed on the country you happen to live in. With early album/single releases, autograph signing, tons of Japanese magazine articles, it seems like every week I find out about some new perk!

I can't complain!!!

Heh.. nah, I've never actually lived in Japan, but I work for a Japanese company here in Sydney, so I go there a lot. I've been studying Japanese for about 5 years, but sometimes it's hard to get motivated to practice.

Reading about underworld on Mixi etc gives me a good excuse to do some study (well, I can pretend that it's study ). Also turns up some interesting tidbits occasionally. And yeah, it's cool that underworld like the place as much as I do.

I haven't been to Utsunomiya, but I've seen a photo of the giant gyouza at the railway station

Your favorite DJ doing a live mix in your own home? Is that a dream!?

A net radio that's open for the listener
dirtyradio

Even recommended by Underworld's Karl Hyde, extremely impressive(?) net radio program. With "Finding top quality music, and letting the world know about it" as their mission, they diverge to many types of music. With programs of a different genre every day, if you have a taste there's a chance a DJ is playing it!

[King of Snake]

way to go Dirtyradio.

Internationally. They are owned by different companies than the Tower that folded and liquidated all the U.S. stores.

Yeah, in Japan there are several! Some even have huge English book stores similar to the one`s in the States.

I guess they managed to escape the chopping block here.
