  • Waltz

    A shop that specializes in cassette tapes? Of course there’s one in Tokyo — uncover more about Waltz (located in Nakameguro) in this Spoon & Tamago post. Gotta love that wall of boomboxes to the side. I think the cassette I listened to the most — to the point of breaking it — was the…

  • Codex 32

    A new episode of the Codex (32) is up, for your listening pleasure — a mix of old and new, with a bit of concentrated nerdiness at the end.
