Happy 71st anniversary #GodzillaDay
Celebrating with these Yamakatsu sofubi I picked up in 1984 (the same day I saw Nina Simone at legendary jazz club, Ronnie Scott's) and looking forward to #GodzillaMinusOne director Takashi Yamazaki visiting here in Norway when he films #GodzillaMinusZero

A less than subtle reminder that I'll be appearing at the #maltacomiccon on the 8th and 9th November at the Eden Arena. I hope to meet some of you there. I'll be taking part in the Manga and Animation panel.

The upside to living in the country as a writer: sitting on the veranda at 6 a.m watching the sun rise and hit the trees, and listening to the deer bark out a territorial scuffle in the field below while drinking a passable coffee for a late night/early morning shift.

"His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being... his days include... frequent victories in golf events."

A beautiful, sunny day, so spinning Yurie Kokubu's Relief 72 Hours, a classic of city pop jampacked with mellow funk/soul grooves.

A beautiful day deserves a spin of Hiromi Iwasaki's 1980 gem of city pop, Wish. Her gentle, easy vocals are surrounded by top West Coast musicians who played regularly with Steely Dan and James Taylor.
As smooth as an afternoon drive along the PCH.

A couple of days late for her birthday (the 24th, for interested parties), but spending the morning spinning my Japanese OP 45s in honour of the mighty Meiko Kaji.

Now spinning, Toshiki Kadomatsu's On The City Shore, a delicious blend of city pop, funk, soul and disco, and as fine a cocktail of the undistilled vibe of summer as you're likely to hear.

It's always lovely to see when the deer have paid a visit to the back garden (and even better to see they're respecting the boundary fence up to the next level).

Spinning Meiko Kaji's 1974 compilation, Golden Star Twin Deluxe, on Teichiku Records. The attached poster shows an image from her movie, Jeans Blues: No Future (also 1974, so the album was possibly released to tie-in with its release).
