Radiation levels in Japan

Once watching the NHK news this morning they mentioned a government website which states the radiation levels in all Japanese prefectures. It is updated twice daily or more.

Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Radiation

I left Tokyo one week before any of this madness occurred and I am fortunate I did. I feel sorry for all who have been affected by this tragedy and I regret that I could not help as much as I could normally. I just hope that things begin to return to normal soon and that the current threats are reduced to some degree of normality.

My old University is currently taking donations for the Red Cross to help the relief effort in Japan, please show Japan your generosity in this time of extreme hardship. They appreciate every cent. (see link below)

Even if you cannot donate please pray for the Japanese and that this will all end soon so that people can get on with their lives.

I love you Japan.

Chocolate sparkling soda

Yes, first there was chocolate beer and now chocolate soda. I am not going to waste typing about this product because the taste can only be summed up in two words. Clear Crap. Keep clear of this drink. You would be better off drinking your own pee like the guy on Man-Vs-Wild (thanks Stephan)

Australian bands I wish to share with Japan and the world.

Hello world, I just wanted to share a few of my favorite Australian bands which I think deserve a bit of international attention. I hope you enjoy some of my picks. The picture to the left depicts what Australian music (Kangaroo) will do to your ears (woman & Camera).

First off is a band which I have listened to since I was in High school, when I sadly used to skateboard as a sport. This is what used to be pumping in my earphones while getting air and falling to gain some more bruises and scars. GRINSPOON!

Grinspoon - Lost control

The next band which I believe deserves mentioning was formed from an older Aussie Rock band named Karnivool which is also very much worth checking out. However the band which I want to mention is called Birds of Tokyo. The music has a different kind of feel to other rock bands so check it out, you may like it!

Birds of Tokyo - Plans

Karnivool - Themata

An old school favorite of mine has been disbanded quite a while ago but I still enjoy listening to a few tracks of Superheist. The music always reminds me of being at the beach as I always listened to this on my holidays to the sunny Gold Coast. They are basically comparable to nu Metal but has more of an Australian twist. Used to listen to this band the most out of all of these bands.

Superheist - Bullet

Here is a band from my city of Brisbane, they actually used to have a studio in the same building that my granddad was running his business out of. They are kind of funky but an old school favorite of Brisbanites - Regurgitator.

Regurgitator - The song formally known as

Lastly I just wanted to mention a band which has taken off quite well overseas. No it isn't Jet... their name is Wolfmother. The band members changed about a year or so ago, and it turns out one of my university friends brothers then joined the band. Amazing.

Wolfmother - Joker and the Theif

Got other Aussie music you would like to share, give me a comment. Thanks!
