  • Codex Now on iTunes Store

    Just a note to say that Codex, my weekly music podcast, is now listed in the iTunes Store, which means that you can download episodes from there, as well as subscribe — here’s the magic link. And speaking of the show, the playlist for the next episode is all done — it’s going to be…

  • The Magaziner

    I gotta say I’m getting a kick out of this: In the past 24 hours I conceived of a site, a name, bought the domain, got it working, installed WordPress, imported posts from this site, found a theme that I modded to my liking, and have now launched my latest project, something I’m calling The…

  • Codex 04

    It’s a new episode of Codex (04), my weekly music podcast, recorded on a late Saturday night (past midnight), not that this piece of information has anything to do with anything. Below is the playlist for the show, as well as a link for download, and you can also subscribe to the RSS feed so…

  • Last PKN in Tokyo for 2010

    Tomorrow night (Wednesday, November 24) isn’t any old PechaKucha Night, nope, it’s actually the last one of 2010, since December is always a skip month. So come on down to SuperDeluxe for what is looking like a great night of presentations, including my pal Ian who is promising to give away free stuff, and Audrey…

  • Codex 03

    Another week means another episode of the Codex (03). You’ll find the link to download the episode below, as well as the playlist, but remember that you can also find all of this info at the show’s home, and also subscribe to an RSS feed, so as not to miss any future episodes. Also, as…

  • Kodansha’s Pop Culture Family of Books

    I was happy to see that top shelf pictured at the Junkudo book store in Ikebukuro, bringing together that great little collection of Japanese pop culture books from Kodansha International. I remember that when Arcade Mania came out, because we were the first, it was actually challenging for bookstores to place the book, as it…

  • Opening of Diesel Concept Store in Shibuya

    Thursday night I was out in Shibuya for the opening reception of the new Diesel Concept Store, which opens to the public today (November 20). Like the Diesel Denim Gallery in Aoyama, the store features a gallery space, and the opening show is Simon Henwood and Fannie Schiavoni’s “Black Sun” (until February 23). I rather…

  • Codex Now Has Its Own Home

    Last night I decided to put together a quick and dirty website for Codex — as you’ll probably notice, it’s a simple mod of the SNOW Magazine site. Should make it easier to keep up with what’s going on with the show, instead of having to search for appropriate posts here. Also, I already have…

  • Gym Class Magazine 07

    As I teased last week, Gym Class Magazine 07 is now out, and can be purchased online from the GCM online shop. Lots of great content in this issue, including a terrific cover story on George Lois, and a short interview by me with composer Shigeru Umebayashi. Steven — the man behind the magazine —…

  • Codex 02

    It’s no secret, I can be an impatient guy, and after I was done recording the first episode of Codex and released it — something that happened just last night — I was already really looking forward to doing a second one. And so here we are, the next day, with episode 02 of this…
