Do Not Mess With The Youngna

So picture this – I’m trying to gently slide into the NYC blog scene, at least the portions of it I find non-intimidating. I go to a Slice Club meetup and am bewildered by the number of people I don’t know. But there, sitting right near me, is a nice young girl who it turns out has *also* gone to Cornell. And she brought cookies.

This is how I became friends with Youngna Park – one of my [absolute](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/27948681/) [favorite](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/22524458/) [photographers](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/7942700/) [EVER](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/3868339/) [!](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/3783812/)[!](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/5294855/)[!](http://www.flickr.com/photos/youngna/9438858/)

Anyhow – Youngna was in Barcelona last week, and in the most cosmically unfair thing ever, had her bag (and thus, camera) stolen. Why do bad things have to happen to good people?

m-flo on US iTMS

I never thought I’d see the day, but Katie pointed out to me this morning that Apple has a Music Of The World: Japan page up right now, which includes my absolute favorite J-band ever, m-flo.

While the selection is limited to two albums and one EP, both of the albums are absolutely fantastic. So if you’ve been meaning to pick up the recently released Beat Space Nine or 2004’s epic Astromantic, you can – at least for now.

If you need more convincing, here’s my review of Beat Space Nine. Long story short, go buy both of these **now**.

Slow Performance

It appears the box my sites are on is getting hammered with spam mail, which is spiking the CPU, which is not allowing MySQL to do much work, which is of course slowing VJ Army/Pop’n Navy/the forums/the wiki to a grinding halt.

I’m doing what limited things I can. Hang in there, folks.
