You Think You're So Clever

Following the excellent news about a new Jason Falkner release, it appears Roger Joseph Manning Jr. will also be releasing a new album on April 18. As with Falkner's CD, it appears Manning's will only (or at least first) be released in Japan on Pony Canyon. One caveat: this release will be under Manning's remixer alter-ego Malibu (which was evidently and inadvertently given to Manning by Beck).

Now I don't know Japanese, but it's pretty clear that Manning is being credited on all these songs:

1. YESTERYEAR

2. PLEASE DON'T GO

8. RUBBER TUBES

9. SHE GETS AROUND

11. TIME TO TIME

12. WHIPS & CHAINS ON THE ASTRAL PLANE

Cool. I've always wanted Japanese (or lots of question marks) on this blog. I have no idea about a domestic release.
