  • Podcasting Juice

    I’m suprised to see Japan getting in on podcasting so fast. Link via Waxy.

  • Tokyo Q Party

    Happening this Friday at SuperDeluxe. I should be dropping by after work. After the success of our last Tokyo Q Lounge Night (SuperDeluxe was packed!), we’re doing it again this Friday night (July 8).  Admission is free, and there’ll be plenty of great music, a live VJ performance, experimental anime and more.  Plus plenty of…

  • Muteq Round-Up

    Patrick does a nice write-up on last Friday’s “Muteq” event at Kichijoji’s Star Pine’s Cafe, which included live performances by New Castle, Vasallo Crab75, Hot Fun in the Funny Face, PINE*am, and Fantastic Explosion. Includes lots of pics.

  • L.S.T.

    Marxy shares the great, great news that Shugo Tokumaru‘s second album, L.S.T., has a release date: August 25! What? You don’t have his first album, NIGHT PIECE? Why not?

  • Canada Day!

    Happy Canada Day! This is actually the first time in years that I remember to celebrate it, and that’s only because my new favorite podcast (CBC Radio 3) has just released a special Canada Day episode. Great stuff, eh! And while on the topic of podcasts, Apple released the 4.9 version of of iTunes this…

  • Just Gimme Indie Rock!

    I just took a huge night walk to cool myself down, and cause I just felt like moving, and ended up in the whereabouts of Otsuka (or maybe further, not sure). To keep me going, I was listening to one of my new favorite finds on my iPod, the CBC Radio 3’s recently launched podcast…

  • Radio OK Fred: O.Lamm

    As it was put online while I was in HK, I didn’t get a chance to mention that a new episode of Radio OK Fred is now online and ready to be downloaded. This new episode marks the beginning of a new series of invited mixes that we plan on uploading every month or so.…

  • Muteq

    After seeing PINE*am perform live on ATTACK OF THE SHOW a few weeks ago, I would love to see this upcoming gig July 1 at the Star Pine’s Cafe, but it’s a damn all-nighter, with me leaving for Shanghai the next morning. More info on Patrick’s Agenda.

  • Aprils Release Party

    I haven’t been to a gig in way too long, and this release party event for the new Aprils album, SPACE DREAM BATHROOM, sounds like something I’d be into. Features live performances by Aprils, Ram Rider, YMCK, and Hazel Nut Chocolate, with Plus-Tech Squeeze Box’s Tomonori Hayashibe DJing. It happens July 9 at Shibuya O-nest,…

  • iTunes Music Store in Japan

    There was some news that came out pretty much at the same time as the big Intel/Apple announcement from Monday, saying that the iTunes Music Store would finally launch in Japan in August, with the tracks selling for 150 yen. Gizmodo is now suggesting that the Nikkei article may have jumped the gun, but I…
