    While I was at Co-Lab the other day, Craig showed me a copy of the new literary journal A PUBLIC SPACE, which is quite nice (read his review on the CMP blog). Not only is it a beautiful little book, readers of this site will probably be interested in the “Focus” section, which in this…

    My favorite little Tokyo (OK, Tokyo/Seattle) publisher, Chin Music Press, has done it again with the release of their brand spanking new book, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS?

    Yesterday I managed to get out of my futon (something that’s been extremely difficult with the recent cold spell) and made it out to Roppongi, or more specifically Roppongi Hills, to meet up with Jim Frederick, TIME magazine’s Tokyo bureau chief and co-author of the recent Charles Jenkins autobiography (which is still only available in…

    Ikebukuro’s own (well, closer to Mejiro/Takadanobaba actually, but we can cheat a bit) Craig Mod — you know, of Kuhaku fame — recently launched the too-cool-for-school Buzztracker graphical news tracker, and now he’s made a widget for all us Tiger-heads. Looks very nice!

    Seems that Caravan Books in Ikebukuro has closed its doors for good (even their website has expired). From the Chin Music Press blog: I’m sad to announce that Caravan Books of Ikebukuro has passed away. One of a kind, nestled away (cause of death?) in a quiet neighborhood near Ikebukuro station. Tastefully lit (take note…

    Chin Music Press‘ Craig Mod has been working on Buzztracker for a while now, and it was finally released to the public last week. I’ll let him describe what this really cool app does: After many many many long months of sitting locked in my room (or in a cafe down the road), programming and…

    I truly loved Kozyndan‘s opening sequence for this year’s Resfest, and KOHAKU publisher Chin Press Music’s Craig Mod lets us know that they’ve produced a new poster based on the chapter they illustrated for the book — see parts of it here. You can order it directly from Kozyndan’s website here.
