    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.

    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…

    I also picked up the new issue of MASSAGE (3). Haven’t had time to read it yet, but it’s basically the same format, except that it now looks like a regular tabloid newspaper (no more glossy paper).
