  • Codex 32

    A new episode of the Codex (32) is up, for your listening pleasure — a mix of old and new, with a bit of concentrated nerdiness at the end.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 51

    Let me start by again thanking everyone who attended last week’s PauseTalk Vol. 51. It was a terrific night, and one of the most spirited discussions we’ve had in a while — I had to reign it in a few times, which is absolutely fine. For some reason, as the cafe manager told me, a…

  • Salyu x Salyu

    I’ll be honest, I haven’t been excited about any music coming out of Japan in quite a while, but as I mentioned in that quick post on the new episode of Codex, I am absolutely in love with the new album by Salyu (using the name “Salyu x Salyu”), s(o)un(d)beams, produced by Cornelius (Keigo Oyamada).…

  • Codex 31

    A new episode of the Codex is up (31), for your listening pleasure. In it I play a track from the new record by Salyu x Salyu, produced by Cornelius, which I’m hopelessly in love with right now.

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    Just a reminder that PauseTalk Vol. 51 happens tonight (Monday, June 6) at Cafe Pause. The cafe is reserved from 19:30, and the official session starts at 20:00. Looking forward to it!

  • Okutama

    It’s been quite a while since I’ve been out hiking, something that was rectified earlier today when we headed out to the Okutama area. We decided to head to Mitake mountain, and took a cable car up (pictured above), with the idea of walking down (we didn’t really have time to walk both ways). It…

  • PauseTalk Next Week

    PauseTalk Vol. 50 didn’t mark the end of anything, on the contrary, we kick off a new era — well, numerically speaking at least — with Vol. 51 this coming Monday (June 6) at Cafe Pause. As always, the cafe is reserved from 19:30, and the official session will kick off at 20:00. Come on…

  • Tightening the Belt

    Maybe “Tightening the Belt” is not really the best way to describe what I’ve been doing of late, but I am on a trajectory to make my online presence a bit leaner (and maybe even a bit meaner). As I announced a week ago, I’ve put SNOW Magazine on indefinite hiatus, and I’ve done the…

  • Codex 29 and 30

    It’s a double dose of Codex episodes tonight, recorded back-to-back. First is 29, a regular show, and then 30, which is the all jazz show I’ve been promising to do.

  • PauseTalk Vol. 50

    Let me start by thanking everyone who came to last week’s 50th edition of PauseTalk. For the most part it was run as usual — except for me taking more time at the start to talk about how it all started, and how it developed — but it had a great vibe, a great turnout,…
