Cool & Strange Music Countdown Oct. 15, 2017! Nutley Brass, Louisa Baker, Bubble, Cambodian Space Project!

Welcome back to another episode of Cool & Strange Music for October 15, 2017!

Once again, it's time for our monthly dose of Cool & Strange Music. Today I have a real variety of stuff for you... From Nutley, New Jersey to Cambodia to the Super-Cool and the outright bizarre.

First up is an act from Nutley New Jersey. Yes, there is a town in New Jersey named "Nutley" and the band's name is the Nutley Brass (Band). Folks, I can find no information whatsoever about these geniuses excepting they covered a bunch of Misfits and Ramones songs. Here they are doing their version of the Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated." They also do a hilarious cover of "Beat on the Brat."

#4) Nutley Brass Band - I Wanna Be Sedated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffoqoKitrDs

Next up is Bubbles from the classic comedy show "Trailer Park Boys." What is Trailer Park Boys? Here's what Wikipedia says: "Trailer Park Boys is a Canadian mockumentary television series created and directed by Mike Clattenburg. The show focuses on the misadventures of a group of trailer park residents, some of whom are ex-convicts, living in the fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia...A few years later, actors who portrayed Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles purchased the rights to the show from the original producers, and created their own internet streaming network called "Swearnet."

Get it? 

No? OK. Well, you will. Trailer Park Boys was one of the very few things on TV over the last twenty years worth watching (and that ain't saying much.) But to give you an idea of the hilarious comedy these guys were doing, check this as Jim Leahy from the Trailer Park Boys talks with his best friend, Bim Jeam:

SPECIAL: Liquor Stories - The Pilot Episode  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORli-oLFlwE

So, from that classic TV show, The Trailer Park Boys, here is Bubbles doing his rendition of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World." Watch this carefully! Bubbles is amberdextrious?! Is this a video trick. He can play left or right handed?!

#3) Bubbles - The Man Who Sold the World 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40QSd6ZtZfk

Next up is a girl I met in London, England at the world famous Raindance Film Festival. Her name is Louisa Maria Baker and she is a singer-songwriter. Louisa has done an awesome cover of the Green Day classic, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." This impresses me as I think it takes a LOT of guts to cover such a famous song. It takes rare talent to make that song your own.  She's done it with flying colors here!

Oh, Louisa has a Facebook page too. Go Like it: https://www.facebook.com/louisa.m.baker

#2) Louisa Maria Baker - Good Riddance (Time of your life):  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_hOHbvT2Rw

And at #1 fresh off their successful debut American tour, is our favorite band from.... Cambodia! It's the Cambodian Space Project! Taa-daa! And this is their 3rd or 4th time on the countdown! The Word magazine says: “They sound as if they’ve just landed on Planet Rock from Mars and have taken a speed course in every conceivable variety of the music.” 

Yep! And, of course, the Cambodian Space Project have a Facebook page. You know what to do: https://www.facebook.com/The-Cambodian-Space-Project-102538263132453/

#1) THE CAMBODIAN SPACE PROJECT:  Rom Ding! Dong!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP1JKzrTcdI

Well, that’s it for today! Hope you have a great rest of the week and hope you stay Cool and Strange!

Japan's Economists Have Lost Their Minds... Fortune Tellers Haven't...

Students of Austrian economics and those who realize that the current fiat-based money system built on debt and credit is now headed for the end game.


There is not much time left for people to protect their assets and families by divesting out of fiat currency based investments and into commodities and real assets like gold, silver, oil - and, possibly land. This is a well understood trend in the west (unless, of course you are a Keynesian economist or from the Chicago school).

The fast rising price of gold and silver over these last ten years are the proverbial canary in the coalmine. Gold and silver have stupendously outstripped stocks in performance over this time. In fact, silver increased in value over 85% in 2010 alone.


But now, some clowns in Japan are predicting a return to the bubble days of the late 1980's. In fact, they write as if the bubble is a good thing.... 


Japan Times reports:


Remember the bubble? In case you don't, Shukan Gendai (Dec. 20) reminds us that the economic bubble of the late 1980s was an era of rocketing salaries, stock prices and property values, yet accompanied by little inflation. Wealth was seen everywhere. Catching a cab downtown at night required flashing a ¥10,000 bribe at the driver just to get him to stop.

Over 20 years later, the bubble era seems like a wonderful, distant dream. However, 2011 could well be different. According to the weekly, Japan is now on the verge of a new economic bubble for the 21st century.

Some of the major economic indicators already are showing strong promise as we begin the new year. As this story was going to print, the stock markets were climbing, the dollar strengthening, and the price of gold, a favorite asset in bad times, falling.

That last sentence is a real laffer. Gold is falling? Oh really? 10 years ago, gold was $300 (USD) and ounce. Last time I looked (about 5 seconds ago) it was $1,361!

Sorry, but gold, like any other asset has up days and down days... Saying that the price of gold is falling because it has gone down a few percent over this last 10 days is hardly responsible reporting... Gold, as with any other asset, trends are not judged over a few days or weeks.

This writer, obviously not schooled in Austrian economics, doesn't understand cause and effect. The article continues:

On the home front, more money will flow into the equity markets, nudging stock prices higher. That would be thanks in part to a likely 5 percent cut in the corporate tax rate, leaving Japanese companies with more money to invest, Nobuyuki Fujimoto, an executive at Traders Securities Co., Ltd., tells the magazine.

As for the overseas factors, the U.S. Federal Reserve has already been playing the central role. Through its quantitative easing, the Fed is flooding the world with dollars. All that money has to go somewhere, and one favorite spot is Japan, thanks to its relative stability.

"Since the Lehman Shock, a huge amount of quantitative easing has been under way in order to restore the U.S. economy. The global economy is in a state of 'excessive money.' That money has been circulating, including flowing into Japan," says an executive at a major brokerage that the magazine does not identify.

The inflows are already happening, with foreign investors reportedly returning to Japan in search of decent returns after a long absence.

"Data tells us that from November, overseas investors suddenly started buying Japanese stocks. The world is paying attention to Japan's stock markets," the brokerage executive says.

Yes, the Central bankers are all printing money as fast as they can. That money has to go somewhere. Japan has benefitted from the Carry Trade all these years. But with US rates at zero too, the yen carry trade is no longer so attractive. The solution? Buy undervalued Japanese stocks and land. That's what the foeigners are doing.

Japan has benefitted because of bad situations in the USA and the Eurozone... But with Japanese debt surpassing 200% of GDP... This situation will probably end, in a crisis for Japan, this year... Then you'll see everyone run for the exits. (Here is a related article showing Japan's gross debt at 226% of GDP here and here is another article with data from the Wall Street Journal talking about the coming crash of the Japanese Yen. 

Problem is that this fiat currency they are using is quickly losing it's value. What actually is happening is that the west is trying to export its inflation to Japan. 

Hardly a good situation for the Japanese people. 

But, then again, when you are so desperate for some good economic signs, even reading the stars becomes "data." The article continues:

Shukan Economist (Jan. 11), usually a buttoned-down, rational publication, begins its issue by turning to the Chinese zodiac as a guide for how Tokyo stocks will perform this year.

Its article is titled, "A good omen for Japanese stock prices through the zodiac's leaping year of the rabbit." Astrology portends a profitable year ahead, the magazine says. This is the year of the rabbit, after all, and rabbits like to jump. The magazine figures stock prices will jump as well. A data chart purports to show a strong correlation between the animals of the year since 1949 and the historical performance of the Tokyo Stock Market. 

Well, perhaps using a fortune teller to predict the market is strange, but I'll be these fortune tellers were just as right or wrong as main stream economists and writers who failed to predict the 2008 market crash and wrote about how strong our market fundamentals were back than. Chuckle!

This bizarre idea that the bubble was a good thing and its return should be hailed as good news defies logic. Then the writer adds another weird comment that is another total head-scratcher:

Maybe it's too early to bring out the vintage champagne, gold-flake sake and other iconic treats of the late '80s. But after a couple of decades of economic stagnation, even modest signs of growth are worth getting excited about.

Sorry, but two decades of money printing and Japanese stimulus should show anyone that more money printing and stimulus are not the answer to our problems. They certainly do not mean the economy is improving.

If printing money and giving it away did improve the economy, then why would anyof us have to work? Why not just print and print and print and give it all away! We'll all be rich, right? The government can print to its heart's content to pay it bills, right? Wrong.

The bubble of the 80's were good times living on borrowed money. That's why is is called a "bubble" (a "bubble" means artificial growth)  When the bubble burst, the party ended. We've been paying for that party for the last 20 years.... Trust we are still going to be paying for it this year and for the foreseeable future...

Mr. Japan Times writer, if you think living in a bubble situation is good, and that this sort of fake economy means that the real economy is good, then I have a suggestion for you: You can live just like the bubble days! You have a credit card, right? What's to stop you from spending and spending like the 1980's today?... Nothing...

Well, nothing except that you will have to pay for those charges on your credit card and those excesses tomorrow. As it is with the individual, so it goes for the state.

Welcome to economics 101 and the real world.

Marketing Japan: Ripping People Off on Tokyo Real Estate

By Mike in Tokyo Rogers

I just found an article that shows the ultimate stupidity of some people as well as the criminal dishonesty of others... During Japan's bubble, when the Nikkei hit past ¥32,000 (today it is at ¥9,500 about) people bought all sorts of curious things as investment vehicles; they bought golf club memberships, land, stocks, condominiums, you name it.  And, while the prices were shooting up (1984 ~ 1989) they were fine.... But when the bubble burst, those people lost their shirts...

Especially the ones who speculated on Tokyo real estate.

Of course, as anyone knows, condominiums have no land with them, so, in a down market, they will lose 1/2 their value, like when buying a new car, once they are driven off the lot (in the case of a condo, once lived in)...

The real estate jerk who sold this poor woman, and people like her, condominums as "investments" do nothing but rip people off.

From the article: 

Japan women step up to make big purchases in slow economy

After 25 years working as an accounting assistant in a leading construction company, Asako Nakano decided two summers ago that she needed to stabilize her retirement plans. So she took the plunge and bought a condominium. "The decision to put almost all my savings into a home for myself was a bit daunting, but I never hesitated," said the friendly, confident single woman. "I thought to myself, I am never going to get married, so why not invest in my future? It made sense to me." With a little assistance from her mother, the 52-year-old paid almost $100,000 as a 40% down payment for her apartment in a leafy residential area of Tokyo. Japan's effort to dig itself out of its economic malaise is getting a boost from an unlikely source - the nation's female workforce. 

I like how the article spins this bad trend of dishonest sales and misrepresentation as a "part" of the so-called economic recovery that isn't happening. For more on that read my friend Mish Shedlock's blog "Global Analysis" here.

Some Real Estate Agent

What is really going on here is people are being taken advantage of by salesmen with no scruples. There's absolutely nothing wrong with buying a condominium. But being told that it is an investment for the future is just plain dishonest.

See the original article here.
