Sally is back from Japan holiday. This is only part one - which is basically shows we're seeing this week and it's mostly about Japan.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's called "The Playbutton." It is basically a small button (or as the UK calls them, badges) that clips on your garment. What makes it cool is that it's actually an MP3 player with possibly a tiny flash chip containing 12 audio tracks. I think this is the first of many Playbuttons to come, this particular compilation features 12 Japanese experimental/electronic artists.
The compilation is an effort to help residents of North-Eastern Japan recover from the Tsunami that hit the coast on March 11th, 2011. They hope to build houses for the people of Japan.

We have sung the praises of Peelander-Z here many times; they are simply one of the best live acts we've ever seen.
Guess what? They have a new album out on April 10th called Space Vacation, via Chicken Ranch Records, and you can preview their first single, "Star Bowling", over at Soundcloud.
Space Vacation will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital, plus: fans will want the special collector's edition, which comes with a DVD and a limited edition Peelander–Z comic book featuring artwork by John Holmstrom (famous for illustrating the covers of The Ramones albums Rocket to Russia and Road To Ruin).
No surprise, but they are on tour – see them at SXSW! Bring the kids, they'll love them!

| magicalmistakes.com Erik Luebs is better known as his stage name, Magical Mistakes. Last year, the guy packed up his bags and went to live in a small village in Japan. His current music involves vibraphones, xylophones, piano, guitars, drums, voice, and "found sound". His latest EP is called Special Friends, and you can hear it on his website. | regurgitator.net Sure, I think singer Quan Yeomans is half-Vietnamese and, sure, they're based out of Australia, but their latest video for "No Show" uses clips from this old Japanese monster movie. It's great! The single is from the band's seventh studio album SUPERHAPPYFUNTIMEFRIENDS. Read more about Regurgitator on W♥M |
