  • Momus in Tokyo

    Momus is indeed in Tokyo for a few weeks — as you’ll know if you follow his Click Opera blog, which has turned into a literal Tokyo/Japan lovefest since his arrival — and he also has a free show planned for December 22 (from 20:30) at the recently opened GM Ten Gallery in Azabu Juban,…

  • PLAY 02 Tonight

    Just a reminder that PLAY 02 happens tonight (December 12) at Cafe Pause, which means I’ll be DJing from 21:00 to 23:00. For an idea of what I play, have a look at the set lists for PLAY 00 and PLAY 01.

  • PLAY 02

    I’m not promising I’ll keep doing these on a weekly basis, but I’m having so much fun doing them that I want to keep going, so yes, next week I’m doing PLAY 02 at Cafe Pause. It will happen on Saturday (December 12) instead of Friday, because I’m going to be attending the “Taichizm!” live…

  • PLAY 01

    After having such a great time coming up with tracks for this past Friday’s PLAY 00 (I used “00” because it was a bit of a test for me) — see this post for the complete set list — I’ve decided to do it again this coming Friday (December 4). If you have nothing better…

  • Set and Playlist for PLAY 00

    So yes, as I threatened last week, I did my PLAY two hours set at Cafe Pause this past Friday, and had a great time doing it. I didn’t make a big deal out of it because this was more a test run for me, and I did find a few things I need to…

  • PLAY 00

    I’ve been threatening to DJ — well, “music select” — somewhere for a while now, and I’ve decided to finally make it happen this week. On Friday (November 27) I’m introducing something I’m calling PLAY, in which I’ll be setting up my laptop in a corner somewhere at Cafe Pause, and make people listen to…

And speaking of Radio OK Fred — on…
