  • DJ Patrick at Caramill

    Patrick did his first DJing stint last Saturday at a shop in Koenji, and he lists a part of what he played in this post. And there’s a moblogged pic of him in action here.

  • Anime Giants

    An article from the new issue of WIRED takes a look at the growing popularity of anime in America (yeah, I know, old news), while profiling the 3 main creators who all happen to have new films out this year: Miyazaki Hayao (HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE), Otomo Katsuhiro (STEAMBOY), and Oshii Mamoru (INNOCENCE). I do feel…

  • Capture the Motion

    “Capture the Motion” is a collection of 10 very cool shorts inspired by the Olympics, sponsored by Panasonic and RES. Three of them are by Japanese artists.

  • Neomarxisme

    David, or Marxy, was over here last night, and he brought over a copy of his upcoming album, NEOMARXISME I – KYOSHU NOSTALGIA. I’ve been listening to it all night, and love it. Pop, pop, and more pop, with some very catchy melodies. You can download an MP3 album teaser at the Neomarxisme site.

  • Dijf Sanders

    While in Shibuya yesterday, I did my regular stop at the Apres-midi Selecao record shop (in the basement of Parco Part 1), and it’s there that I discovered my new favorite record (I ended up buying it, of course). The artist’s name is Dijf Sanders, and I believe he is from Belgium (from what I…

  • Samurai-C Records

    I’ve shared with you my love for the SAMURAI CHAMPLOO animated series (still as good as ever), but the fun doesn’t stop there. One of the draws of the series is the mix of hip-hop with a traditional samurai setting, and the strong musical ties continue with the launch of Samurai-C Records. I was at…
