Days 3 and 4 of the Great South Bay Music Festival are among the best single-days of the festival's history. Gov't Mule, Bruce Hornsby, My Morning Jacket all rocked the main stage, while plenty of local acts, including The Astral Party could be seen around the fest. teppen.life/2026-great-s...
Thanks to @cerysmatthews.bsky.social for having Cities and Memory on her BBC 6music show this weekend - it was great to chat about disappearing sounds and the relationships between sound and memory, and spin a few favourite tunes. Listen again here (from c. 1hr in): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
"Kyle Busch was out there playing the role of Mayumi Ozaki at 200 miles per hour." Shared some of my thoughts and photos of Kyle Busch and his career. There will truly never be another Rowdy. teppen.life/nascars-gate...

“Can’t Hardly Wait” (@thereplacements ) featuring The Schuylkill River Orchestra on the 4th of July #thetisburys #philadelphia #thereplacements #livemusic #4thofjuly video by @teppen.life !
2LDK (2003) The stress of being an actress & the pressures of society break two roommates going for the same part. A dark comedy that takes place in one apartment with the tension rising steadily. Directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi & is part of the Duel Project. Just over an hour & is pretty darn good.

Did a marathon this weekend and finished Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls on my old GBA (via flashcart & translated rom). Fun stuff. Gonna write up a bit for @yokoikids.bsky.social
My collab with yamo aka Momose Yasunaga for @citiesandmemory.bsky.social yamo: "I created a collage of sounds-incorporating the exotic resonance of bells and the lyrical whisper of the wind as it drifts through narrow alleyways." music.youtube.com/watch?v=j-iF...

Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead (2011) Fulci style rise outta shit, Raimi/Jackson gore homages. Tapeworms sticking outta buttholes…I have no clue about modern cinema. Yuki was in Mighty Lady as Yumi Agawa’s daughter. 7 yr run, eternal schoolgirl, Noboru Iguchi surely tried to recruit her for JAV.
A lot of great music in May. This is what's had our ears all month. Featuring iVy, Hovvdy, Regallily, a cameo from our friend Chris B., and even a couple of Beatles? Check it out! teppen.life/teppens-may-...

My phone randomly highlighted the former champ & her pig pants. 100% always found my camera when I covered AWG. 2024 at the Shinkiba station, while wheeling her suitcase, she broke away from the group to walk over to me & politely interrupted my convo to thank me for always writing about the crew.
Beat this the other day, found the majority of the game super easy except Captain Silver himself. Took multiple tries & culminated in my yelling “go to Hell you stupid fucking tree ghost!” I was so mad “no I can’t beat this fucking game. I beat Holy Diver! I no death run Wanpaku Graffiti for fun!”
This is pretty on brand considering the history of Tony George banging on about the league needing more American drivers & manufacturers. In the mid 90s he said “We wanted to replace the practice of foreign drivers buying rides with American riders earning them through ability.”

Kunoichi Hunters - Sentenced to Female Hell (2014) Sleaze that’ll alienate normal folk while frustrating the pervs. Asami a really good actress who debuted in a theatrical film but quickly went JAV & pink films. Later years found a home in straight to video scuzz. I kinda want to interview her.
It's @bandcamp.com friday. Are you an artist on Bandcamp? Reply with a link to your stuff here 👇🏾 and I'll repost as many as i can throughout the day. (I do got other stuff to do, tho, so it may be sporadic)

Wrestling is Art: Labor Of Love’s ‘The Exhibition’
For years, I’ve joked about starting a promotion called “ARTWRESTLING”, not just as a play on ACTWRESTLING, but also because I feel like professional wrestling truly is a great artform, and so many ar...

Baby Assassins (2021) Been on my list since I went to Act’s Time Machine Girl screening. The theater had a screening of all 3 Baby Assassins films. A darkish comedy/action film about 2 young assassins coming of age. Somehow Chisato & the villain Himari are the same person, & that is Naho Yamada.
Red Blade (2018) Bullied girl enters fantasy world to become a kunoichi. Noteworthy is Ryoko Sakimura is the cool villain. Had a nice chat w/ her backstage at First Dream 2025, also have a one off portrait via my ring side photographer from her match. Maybe dig it out soon. I used to do stuff.
Tokyo Gore Police (2008) The sister film to The Machine Girl. A movie that is like STARDOM, it’s influential, has high-level work, a good intro to the genre, & is flashy, but for many Westerners, it's the only thing that they’ve seen (often via clips on SNS). Still great.
The Machine Girl (2008) JAV director does massive blood-soaked revenge at the start of the 2010s Japanese gore wave. Never seen this one, really fun.
