Next they'll be telling us that <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=R7kpnQ7yoPQ" rel="nofollow">foreigners can't understand Japanese well because they lack the proper muscles</a>... <i>Vidar, Ollie</i> Well, for regular consumption, I *do* like my menthols every once in a while... 'tis like smoking mint gums!!! :D As for the rest, well, you can imagine if we had no paper around the house, we didn't have much else to begin with... couldn't be too picky now can we. <i>hualian</i> I was a tad busy for pictures... But now that I have a bit more time, I'll be sure to snap a few pics of Paris by night... it's usually really hard to render some of the strange stuff you see sometimes... <i>Deborah</i> It is *always* all about organic chemistry... Only depends on what you hear by 'organic chemistry' ;) <i>fleep</i> Well, it was a great combination too. Actually, I've been listening to and advertising your mixes all over the place for a while now... Really nice to hear Teh Deep Vibe especially lately where my own record collection has been all but stagnating and the club life that goes with, as well... I really like them all, hard to tell which I'd pick, but I think the <i>Singapore</i> one and, in a totally different style, <i>3 by 4</i>, might be my favorites... <i>Runaway Lover</i> has totally grown on me too, somehow reminds me of some of my best Tokyo summer memories... Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope to hear you play in Tokyo some time! Re: Japanese Seasons:

Great post, brings me back to walking the streets of Paris, not under the influence of "menthol cigs" but, given the opportunity, that sounds quiet lovely!

I think, though, it had more to do with planting seasons and when harvests for these plantings happened. The author was bemoaning the fact that food had lost its seasonal specificity with globalization and availability of everything at its peak at any time of the year.

Maybe they think everyone else still has 12 seasons.
