  • Portraits from PauseTalk Vol. 36

    I’ll have the list of participants from last night’s PauseTalk (Vol. 36) up later today or tomorrow, but in the meantime I wanted to share the latest round of portraits taken by Max Hodges, which are all viewable in this gallery. As with last time, I’m really loving these, and I’m hoping that Max keeps…

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    Just a reminder that PauseTalk (Vol. 36) happens tonight (December 7) at Cafe Pause, with the usual start time of 20:00. I’ll be there from 19:30, hanging out until the official start, so feel free to come earlier.

  • 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…

  • Setlist for PLAY 01

    Had a great time with PLAY 01 — finished up just a couple of hours ago, actually — and again, I’m posting here the complete playlist for my set, which you can also download in two parts. PLAY 01 (Part 1) (43 MB) 1. Lorenzo Fragiacomo – “Kirby” 2. Stephin Merritt – “Stray with Me”…

  • 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…

  • Tokyo’s Best Magazine Stores

    A few months ago, Jeremy Leslie over on his MagCulture blog posted a detailed — and crowdsourced — map of London’s best magazine stores. At the time I thought it was a terrific idea, and wanted to create something similar for Tokyo. Sure, I already have a few I know, but the best way for…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 35 Participants

    It was indeed a terrific return to PauseTalk (Vol. 35) last night after a skip month, and I’d like to thank everyone — all 30 of you — who attended (and the manager of the cafe thanks everyone for all the drinking). If you haven’t already, do take a look at the great gallery of…

  • PauseTalk Tonight

    A friendly reminder that tonight (Monday, November 16) is this month’s edition of PauseTalk (Vol. 35), the first one in over two months. The official session kicks off at 20:00 at Cafe Pause, but feel free to join us earlier, from 19:00, to have a listen at Tokyo Realtime‘s latest audio tour, covering Akihabara. So…
