I remember seeing on Youtube a few years ago a clip of a short, pale, timid-looking older gentleman (60+) who still DJs, and has built up something of a cult following. He mentioned that they'd hide him to start with, since no one took him seriously, so he'd be behind partitions. He alternated between a quiet upper-class London accent and a thick, deep patois. I can't find anything on Google, does anyone have any idea who I'm talking about? 202.10.94.9 ( talk) 01:58, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
While reviewing Supercell (album) at T:TDYK, I was intrigued by the fact that it was produced by a Japanese band with an English name. Furthermore, I notice that the large majority of articles in Category:Japanese musical groups have English names. Why don't most Japanese bands choose Japanese names?
