Fact – A Japanese rock band my roomate introduced me too. I don’t listen to enough rock. The first song I heard I thought it was sung in Japanese, but it wasn’t; they sing in english. It seems it though sometimes when the lyrics just get jumbled together. They just released their first album today. You can check the entire album out through some streaming sources they have setup.

Perfume – A jpop/trance group. I like the sound, it flows very well. It works well as music to run to. Infact I’ve started looking into other jtrance groups to see what I find.

She – A Chinese electro artist. The particular album I am listening to is composed entirely of bit sounds which is unique. I like it because I feel as if I’m in a retro game when I listen.

While browsing engadget on greader today I came upon the story of tweenbots. One person’s thesis project to observe human willingness to help cute robots to get places in New York city.

I think this is an incredibly charming story and the adorable smiling robots just tug at my heart strings. It’s good to see people opening up and helping the little guys instead of just ignoring them or reporting them as dangerous devices.
