The first two tracks, “Kalimba” and “PN,” are from her upcoming full-length release, and the third one, a non-final version of “Orb of Day,” will be on her second album,…

    I know I’ve been harping on and on about our “Son of a Gun” birthday party, part of the Mamma Gun festivities, at Cafe Pause on November 5 — I will see you there, right? — but the event will end at 24:00, and so for those looking to prolong the evening, let me point…

    I can’t even find the words to describe it, but I am beyond happy — I’m going to see The Pixies perform live in early December (on the 5th at Zepp Tokyo), and this, my friends, is a big deal for me. See, The Pixies are, well, my all-time favorite band (I know that sounds…

    Fans of the tiny club rejoice!

    My editor at THE JAPAN TIMES — Guchagucha — spins some discs tonight (Thursday) at the Ruby Room. Free entry, and 500 yen drinks until 9 — damn, I so hate that I’m out in Chiba on Thursday nights.

    Remember a band called Sixpence None the Richer? No, of course you don’t. They had a hit single a few years ago, “Kiss Me,” featured on the soundtrack to a film (can’t remember what movie it was). The reason I’m bringing this up is that the song is now appearing in a TV commercial here,…
