A birthday week away in the glorious South Island of New Zealand. A bit of shopping and a bit of thermal soaking in the mountains. Highly recommended.

One of the non negotiables from my recent trip to Japan. Absolute killer business from Philip Smart at King Tubby’s. Picked up Dub Store in Shinjuku, at a pretty decent price too. Pretty much all unreleased dubs and killer vocal tracks from Jacob Miller, Johnny Clarke and more.

Beginning the long trek home. See you Ikebukuro, you’ve been perfect, like our own personal video game these last few weeks!

Had to try some of Japan’s own lemon based demon juice. If you want to tune out and drop out, this will get you into la la land in short order

Dotonbori in Osaka. Just as mad as you’d expect.

In Kanazawa we got to visit one of the great gardens of Japan, and likely the world. Kenrokuen.

A few shots of Ueno Park and Ameyoko St before we hit the bullet train.

Upmarket wanders through the leafy arty environs of Aoyama, Roppongi, Daikanyama, Omotesande and Sumida.

A quick Shinjuku and Shibuya drop. Dub Store Records, the new Sakura Stage mall at Shibuya Station South, and a bonus paddle boarding at Inokashira Park, Kichijoji.

Had a wander around the gardens at Kyū-Furukawa in north Tokyo this morning. Absolutely gorgeous and a bit unusual with the Victorian mansion designed by a British architect at the turn of the 20th century. Also features in a well known anime series so popular with da kids.

In Ikebukuro in west Tokyo. It’s a youth area with a focus on gaming, anime, manga and cosplay. It’s a great part of town to base yourself. Very lively and close to but not part of the madness that is Shinjuku and Shibuya. Cheaper too.

Well, I can cross travelling half way around the world cattle class with a raging case of COVID off my bucket list of shitty things you don’t want to do. Haere Ra, Mt Taranaki. Konichiwa Mt Fuji.

Amongst all his cute 2 1/4 yr old habits, grandson Jack now has his first favourite LP. It’s Jamie XX’s In Colour. It helps that the J section in the shelves is just at the right height for him but he loves colour and loves that he can choose which coloured record we’re going to play.

Thanks Simon, happy to pick up reasonably priced copies of these as well. Christchurch has never been a particularly great reggae town for me but I got luck this time.

Big ups Chch, Central Otago & and the West Coast NZ. Great running into you for the last week. Esp Flying Nun, Penny Lane, Mora, Dorothy Browns, Bound Bks, Big Fig & DP1. No vibes for caravan convoys, 100km+ truck & trailers, & the drunk screaming couple at the Arrowtown Motel on Saturday night. ✌🏼🇳🇿

In the cafe at the Library in Christchurch NZ, the home of knowledge and learning for the city.

Fullkrug’s positioning in the box for West Ham today was generally perfect while Kudus, Paqueta and Soucek butchered chances by the yard around him. Brainless football from a bunch of headless chickens.

Happy days playing with the
Reggae massive at the Freehouse Nelson New Zealand, this afternoon.
It’s become an awesome day on the Nelson calendar.
