  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire / Jarvis Cocker!?

    So this is a strange one. On the weekend I do a lot of work from home, programming, some stuff for fun (some programming on side-projects, translating manga so I don’t forget how to like, read Japanese) and so on. I like to play bad movies when I’m doing this. So, I finally got around […]

  • Mystery Jets Concert

    I’m going back and posting up quick notes on the concerts I’ve seen in the past few months. I haven’t had the chance to see many shows, since they cost anywhere from 5,000円 to 6,500円 a show. There are cheaper concerts for lesser-known local acts, but I haven’t had the time to get into that […]

  • We Are Scientists completely blow away Tokyo

    So last night We Are Scientists, one of my all time favorite bands who just happen to hail from New York, came to play the Shibuya Duo Music Exchange in Tokyo. One of the things that I’ve really missed since moving to Tokyo two months ago, or more to the point, moving away from New […]

According to my sister, the girl making her dress, Jesse, is dating the drummer of AmAnSet. Since I’m staying about […]

  • Japan Girls Night US Tour

    This is the second time I’ve gone to Benten’s Japan Girls Night tour in New York. Lots of fun. Puppy Pet, TsuShiMaMiRe, Titan Go King’s, Gaijin a go-go, and Petty Booka.

  • We Are Scientists at CBGBs

    Bishop Allen and We Are Scientists at CBGBs. I was late and missed BA, but made the Scientists part of the show.  

  • Asobi Seksu

    Asobi Seksu played at Lounge 13 on Thursday, and I went to check them out. I really, really recommend them. Their CD should be out soonish in NY area stores, but at least hit their website, check out their MP3s, and then go see them play.

  • We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory

    We Are Scientists at the Knitting Factory. How cool is that?

  • Say Hi To Your Mom

    Caught Say Hi To Your Mom at the Mercury Lounge. It was a great show. They are a great band. Had dinner at Waikiki Wally’s (a really kitschy Tiki place, sister restaurant to Lucky Cheng’s) before that. Really cute ambiance, and surprisingly good food.
