Japan scenes :: What are you doing in the parking lot?

Obviously not parking cars.
New Wave Junkies was funkadelic, but the most surprising act of the night came from my apartment block’s very own car park. Recovering from a slightly boozy night (as opposed to my usual crazed drunken hazes) I decided to enjoy some government-approved carcinogens on my balcony (I don’t smoke inside at home) [...]

Reuters madness! Is New French PM Miss Canada?!?

Mistakes. They happen. But they don’t always look this good! Thanks be to my fellow desk-jockey for pointing this out to take the edge off my day! I’m not sure if someone is sniggling in a back room of Reuters online central, or quaking in their boots with fear. Either way, it is a special [...]

Tokyo :: Sat. June 4 :: Pineal @ Takadanobaba AREA!

Pineal, the sexy horned grocker from the underworld, drags himself out of hell for another dose of Pagan Portrait @ Takadanobaba AREA (Igor’s review of Pagan 1). How good is Pineal? Dead at Last’s master put it thus on his board: Pineal was as good as a blow job! Furthermore, the dark master said the [...]

Nov. 2004 Report :: Pineal’s Pagan Portrait I

Pineal returns to AREA this weekend with another night of of grand darkness (Sat. June 4 2005)! Igor has pulled out his report of the original Pagan event from the archives so you can get a first-hand account of Pagan Portrait. Pagan Portrait 2 is on a Saturday, which is when it should be! And [...]

New Wave Junkies @ Peak 1 :: Event Report

Igor tripped off for some funk for the New Wave Junkies @ Ookayama Peak 1 on Saturday evening. The night produced quite an interesting show case of bands, remixers and keyboard brooders to keep you going through the evening. It took me about an hour to get to grand Ookayama, which is off towards the [...]

Tokyo :: TONIGHT! May 30 :: Gadget @ ADM (pub gig)

Just a quick flash (woo!) for Gadget @ Ikebukuro ADM. This looks like a general pub gig with some nice local bands playing. I immensely enjoyed seing Gadget @ Tokyo Dark Castle 11 (Report), so if you’re looking for a place to hear some local bands on Monday, this could be quite palatable. Ikebukuro ADM [...]

Upgrade difficulties :: Board offline for the moment

Hi there. It looks like those upgrades I was talking about earlier this weekend have a couple of niggles. I’ll be enjoying an exciting week trying to find exactly where the problem is - looks like it’s related to link pointers - that’s easy in html templates, but when you got everything locked inside tight [...]

JP Goth Upgrading This Weekend - Maybe…

No rest for the wicked they say. Igor must be evil incarnate because he’s got a lot of upgrades to do this weekend. That means the site might go funky (not in a good way), or possibly go down for the count (don’t worry, I’ll back up the data), or you might notice anything at [...]

Tokyo :: Sat. May 28 :: Club Mirage 10 @ Club Hoop

W00t! Another event I hadn’t heard about until this week. I got half a dozen emails about this one from people from around the place. Igor’s almost certainly not going to escape the ferrets all night for this one, but it is drawing me. The Club Hoop pages has this plastered on the schedule page [...]
