Egon and Cut Chemist arrived in Osaka today. The kick off for the all-too-short 2009 Now-Again Japan tour is tomorrow, at Triangle. Egon promised to post photos and blogs throughout the trip (if he doesn’t get sick from the Miyagi oysters he ate after his 18 hour journey).

Egon helped out his buddies over at World Psychedelic Funk Classics Records with their debut disc – a “global compendium” of psychedelic funk music. Psych-Funk 101… Like a college course, get it? Grab it here in either CD or LP form and check out a free track and interview from French psych lunatics Eskaton while you’re at it.
