I’ve been getting mail on this because of the confusion, so let’s clear things up. The Apple Store Shibuya performance that Momus has been touting as happening June 6 is in fact scheduled for June 4 (he noted the date wrong). Not only does that mean that the show will happen this coming Monday night, but also that he will not be attending PauseTalk, which is held at the same time.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design, pop culture, and gaming in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.
Arcade Mania is currently on sale through Amazon Japan, with the same edition available for pre-order on Amazon US (to be released January, 2009).
Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens October 6.

It doesn’t trump Pause Talk, it just happens to fall on the same day. Clearly a strong subconscious wish to be able to attend both made me note the wrong date for my own concert in my diary. Clearly I have to be there to perform my own show, though.
though Ryuichi Sakamoto was doing it from the distance a few years ago.
maybe we could score some ipods for pausetalk members.
Or take the Placard route — worldwide live streams!
well, was planning on attending Pause Talk but those are every month, whereas a Momus Live isn’t… argh… what to do??!!!
hmmm… this does present a conundrum.
So, as the title of the post claimed, Apple Store does indeed seem to trump PauseTalk.
I have decided to attend the Apple Store Live.
Jean-
So is it still on?
Yeah, of course. I’m not letting Momus get the better of me!
