  • Codex 01

    —

    ,

    Here it is, as promised, the first episode of my new (hopefully) weekly music podcast called Codex. As I explained before, I record it live using the Djay software, so please don’t mind the errors here and there — it’ll get better, I’m sure. This one was recorded at home, but for future episodes I’ll…

  • PauseTalk Vol. 46

    —

    ,

    When it was 20:15 last night and we were still only 8 people at Cafe Pause for PauseTalk Vol. 46, I thought we were in for a disaster of a night, but as we kicked things off and the night wore on, I do believe it ended up being my favorite edition so far. The…

The cover feature is an interview with legendary…

  • Vogue UK on iPad Is Pricey

    —

    ,

    Vogue UK for iPad has just been released, and as much as I’d like to get it so I can review here, I’m just not willing to pay the $7 asking price. Here then is a video that teases the issue that was “ninety four years in the making,” and I’m sure we can expect…
