  • The Jpop Tour

    Marxy’s look at Jpop records of note has got me doing something I haven’t done in ages: taking an extended look at the video music channels. When I tune into SkyPerfecTV, I quickly cycle through them to see if there’s anything interesting (there never is), and then usually end up going to BBC World or…

  • Jpop Goes Marxy!

    Marxy invites us on a tour of what he considers to be 3 classic Jpop albums — the ones you shouldn’t be embarrassed about owning. First up: Puffy’s AMIYUMI.

  • The EWOK 5MH After Party

    And the flyer for the exhibition’s launch after party, happening at Unit.

  • Radio OK Fred in Limbo

    Bad news for Radio OK Fred. As you know, the two shows that were uploaded haven’t been available for a while now, and it seems like there’s no clear solution to our problem. It’s all about the bandwidth, and the OK FRED server just can’t take it. We have a new show waiting to be…

  • Cha Cha Charming Kiiiiiii

    Marxy wrote an article on Kiiiiiii (with a nice collection of pics by Graham Webster) that’s now up at the very cute Cha Cha Charming site.

  • Kyoshu Nostalgia

    Today marks the release of Marxy‘s debut album, KYOSHU NOSTALGIA, from Beekeeper Records (and you can buy the album directly from them). I’ve been listening to this album for a while now, and love it to death. A beautiful ode to pop, you’ll find yourself listening to it over and over again.

  • Radio OK Fred is Back!

    Seems like the OK Fred site is back up, so you should now have access to the second Radio OK Fred show again. And like last time, you can email me if you want a copy of the playlist.

  • Radio OK Fred 02

    Our second show of Radio OK Fred is now up. This one was done live, which was a lot more fun to do (and it explains why it’s maybe not as slick as the first one). You can also subscribe to a podcast feed (there was a problem with the feed earlier, but it should…

  • Radio OK Fred Update

    Just thought I’d update you on Radio OK Fred. This afternoon we (me, Ay2, and Yoshi) got together, along with our new sound engineer Gobo, to record the next show. This being the first time we recorded live, it’s a bit more chaotic than the previous mix we did, but it was also a lot…

  • Kitchen

    Today marks the release of Digiki’s debut album KITCHEN through Japanese label Hattrick Records. For now it’s only available for purchase through their web shop, but it should get distributed sometime soon.
