I found a link to Scott Campbell’s art from Robot Walrus below. Holy cow, this guy is good, and his mind is all over the place. 8-bit video game legends, 19th century flying machines, creatures from the deep sea…
Tonight, Erin and I had dinner with Matt and Tadari at Sakana in SF. One of the sushi chefs is Yama san, formerly of Jidai-ya in Palo Alto where Shin used to take Tom, Rich and me all the time. Shin would order bizarre delicacies that weren’t on the menu, and many a good time were had.
The name of the restaurant (the word for fish) reminded me of a song that was ubiquitous when I was studying in Japan in 2002, called Osakana Tengoku (Fish Heaven). I think I even had it as the ringtone on my mobile phone for awhile.
Anyhow, I did some Googling and came across the origin of Osakana Tengoku (it was the campaign song of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations’ Seafood Center) as well as a translation of the lyrics: “Come on, let’s all eat fish together. The fish are waiting for us, oh!”
Leningrad Cowboys, a Finnish rock band, cover Sweet Home Alabama with the help of the Red Army Choir. I think my head just exploded.
