D is for Dear Mr. Salesman

I have a weak spot for Shibuya-kei...Japan's twisted and goofy take on French Yé-yé, Esquivel and lo-fi electronica is silly and fun, and immediately makes me think of the cheesy-yet-catchy j-pop soundtracks you'd hear in 80s anime, with a little bit of Breakfast at Tiffany's thrown in for good measure.

Plus, the fact that he samples Jonathan Winters here is awesome enough. :)
