This week we’re kind of picking up the scraps.

Already? Throw in a few MORE pretty boys (this time dressed as girls) and the Summertime fun continues.

Review: “DIStopping” – Charisma.com

Last year, Charisma.com released “Hate”, a fantastic song that sadly flew under The Glorio Blog’s radar. With the release of their first full album, DIStopping, it’s time to right that wrong and give these two badass ladies the attention they deserve.

Jukebox: Kayoko Yoshizawa

Believe it or not, Japan can make other music aside from peppy pop! It has a vibrant underground music scene, which over the years has developed into an influential force to be reckoned with. In Jukebox, we take a look at the versatility of the Japanese music industry — beyond the realm of anime and other geekery. Last time, way too long ago, we learnt about Mop of Head and their bouncy dance music. As usual with this feature, it’s time for something entirely different… erm, peppy pop, actually. Who the heck is Kayoko Yoshizawa?
