Jiro Bevis runs the fantastic Ying Yangs blog which has a keen eye on the sounds of Italo and the graphics that went alongside them as well as a large Japanese lean amongst other stuff. It's one of those ones that I check in on regularly to see what they are picking up on. Well worth checking are the Radio Jiro mixes on the site as well as Jiro's work as an illustrator. Enjoy the mix - it runs from Babia and Yello through to Brian Eno and China Crisis. Nice taste.
