Morning Cup o’ Music

Just like yesterday, I thought I’d share another of my favorite anime tracks of all time. I think I’m on to something here.

If anyone has ever seen Macross Plus, they already know how amazing the music from Sharon Apple (Yoko Kanno) was. Today’s track “Information High” is one such song. This is the song that plays as Isamu and Yang are trying to infiltrate the Earth defense grid that’s been hijacked by Sharon’s AI. That 4 part OVA and movie are some of the finest examples of what Japanese animation is all about, and I highly suggest you pick up the series as soon as possible, even if you’ve never watched one episode of Macross or Robotech, it’s that good.

As for finding this track on an actual disc, I think it was released on the For Fans Only soundtrack a few years ago, but I managed to get this by purchasing Sharon Apple, The Cream P.U.F.F. single CD for like $30 when it came out…and I’ve never been sorry for doing so.

Weeaboo for life y’all.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
