  • Plus-Tech Squeeze Box

    The musical gods have descended and given us Plus-Tech Squeeze Box. I just watched episode 8 of ADAM AND JOE GO TOKYO, and the performance at the end was by the above-mentioned band. Oh my. So good I had to watch it again right after. I absolutely must pick up their full-length album, FAKEVOX. Found…

  • Ballmer’s iPod

    I found this surfing the net and thought it was kinda funny: Balmer’s iPod. It’s a parody of Apples iPod ads created by Macboy who also have made other MacToons. If you don’t know about the freaky Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) make sure you click on his name to see him in action. Update…

  • Swedish Surfing

  • Mailbox

    A mailbox in Nara.

  • Wrong Is the New Right

    Things are hopping at Momus’ site. On top of the recent Momus Radio segment (and I’m glad to see he added info on all the tracks he played), and the frequent daily photo updates, another essay is already up, this time an article he wrote for VICE magazine. And if you haven’t already, you definitely…

  • TDB-CE

    More info on the Tokyo Designers’ Block – Central East event in Baba Masataka’s new column at REALTOKYO.

  • Osaka Ramen

    Let us head back to Osaka, with a picture of a subject that is close to my heart: ramen shops. This is another popular ramen shop in Osaka, not far from the Dotonburi area. Standing only, and it smelled oh-so good (didn’t have time to try a bowl, unfortunately). Oh, and speaking of ramen, I…
