77 year old farmer, Bunji Kasai, borrowed his son’s synthesizer, dropped some tracks, got recognized by Derick May & Squarepusher. Japan, different gravy. All hail the Silver Generation!

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

Absolutely this. DJ Harvey in Monocle magazine

My favourite Bowie story; how he'd holiday in Kyoto in the late 70's on his own and would go to the same coffee shop 2 or 3 times a day, as he got left alone or not recognised. On one occasion he even made arrangements to go back and help a group of local kids with their English homework.

[Daily Dose of Disco #40] Barry White "It's Ecstasy (When You Lay Down Next To Me)" (1977) There's a reason he was nicknamed 'The Maestro'. This track probably was responsible for a sudden surge in births some months after it came out. Butter-smooth sexy vocal, killer groove! youtu.be/dk5WCc1iEwk

The Sunday before the kids go back to school after a 2 week break - I think this is what marathon runners call “the wall.” 🫤

RIP DJ Kulu. Such a lovely fella. A life truly well lived. Always so impeccably turned out and for a man who moved in fashion circles was as down to earth as can be. Thoughts go out to those that knew him much better. A true Hong Kong legend 🎶✊🎶🇭🇰

A fascinating J1 season has ended and one where Tokyo Verdy were expected to be the whipping boys and go straight back down to J2. Welcome to the "big league" - Tokyo, Kawasaki and indeed Yokohama are green 🍀
