Shugo Tokumaru & Jeff Hanson - please come to NYC
Shugo Tokumaru
I like the album Shugo Tokumaru put out in 2004. I've been meaning to check out, and talk about, the one he put out in 2005.
I also like Jeff Hanson. Besides good music, I can thank him for getting me to the Decemberists' first ever NYC show at Knitting Factory. It was May 2003. Jeff Hanson and the Decemberists were opening for Mary Lou Lord to a pretty small crowd. It was the few Jeff Hanson tracks I heard that got me to the show (pre-blogging). I never stopped liking Jeff, and I've obsessed over the Decemberists ever since.
Pitchfork pointed out today that Jeff Hanson is touring with Shugo Tokumaru. They don't seem to visiting the NYC area though. Wah.
Huge fans of Shugo they are, Cokemachineglow Interviewed Shugo and said his album from 2005 was the 24th best of the year (2 worse than the Decemberists, one better than Jamie Lidell).

I read somewhere that Shugo is going to tour the US later this year or um, sometime in the future that's not so far away. Whenever that happens, we can be excited together. I'm not sure how many other people will be excited, but hopefully it's a few.
