My Pics:
Gamers paradise: Akihabara in Tokyo. Looks great on the outside, what with the "Gamers" sign, but is more like an Otaku paradise than anything else!
Worshippers at the "Thunder Temple" - I think that's what it was called. The smoke is meant to relax you; clear your mind. Found my fortune here and it look pretty rosy, but I couldn't get any real guarantee for how long it lasted :) Twelve months was the final answer, so it's a great excuse to check again next year!
Venice beach. Saw this on TV a while ago without the graffiti - looks much better with it than without. Says "Reest Mr Radu 254". Cryptic but it's
probably just made up of different tags.
This Mexican market in Los Angeles look wicked; love the colours. They had loads of Mexican wrestler masks, like the one sported by the gentleman below... :)
Massive advert for Nacho Libre
- looked great in the sunshine :) On side of a hotel in downtown LA near the convention centre.
Regal looking dragon statue/gargoyle at Hampton Court Palace. Sun makes it look ethereal like - great pic for photoshoppin.
Another one from Hampton Court to finish off with.
Music:
Eagles of Death Metal, Daft Punk, Clutch, Queens of the Stone Age, Gradius , Air, Eleven, Funk and Soul Music, Scissor Sisters, Feist, CSS.
Eagles of Death Metal video for "I Only Want You".
Japanese band Lemmy Crisis playing in Akihabara in Tokyo. Not the longest recording in the world but it sounds good.
This is the lead guitarist...
...and she is the singer, as you might have guessed by the mic :).
