#albumoftheday = Kamin Shirahata with Placebo Foxes: Kuuseki no Circus
The only Wiki page I could find on Kamin Shirahata was in Finnish and I must admit that I’m not familiar with her previous work, Kuuseki no Circus apparently being her fourth album, following last year’s self-titled album, her third, which was preceded by Kudamono (2014) and Randoserukaba no Yuke (2011).

KILLER ROCK: Vega – “White Flag”
Vega, Vega, Vega — how do I begin to describe you? You’re a unique one, you, what with your mix of hard rock, classic rock, melodic rock, modern rock and hair metal. It’s as though you’re trying to appeal to every sort of rock audience all at once, to which end it would seem you’re…
I’m glad you like Television and I think all of the versions should be on Spotify!
Great review!
I’ve grown to love this album over the years. It’s so underappreciated. Thanks for the thoughtful review.
