    The NEW YORK TIMES has a piece on the RanKing RanQueen chain. At first glance, the neon-accented stores look like the sort of generic gift shops you would find in a mall: Backlighted display stands hold magazines, CD’s, candy and lots of knickknacks.

    Mumbleboy is in town for just over a week, and I had a chance to drop by SuperDeluxe tonight after work to see some of his VJing for the “Animal Lounge” event. It was quite nice, with an interesting crowd — gotta love seeing Marxy making some political art aimed at Livedoor’s Horie — and…

    Today’s NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE has a bunch of Tokyo-related articles, including some design picks from Tyler Brule. Haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but Marxy is already bitching about some aspects of it (sure to be countered by Momus in the comment section — they’ve become Tokyo’s best new manzai combi).
