Found a wonderful game last night! It’s called Audiosurf and it works with your own music! You select your own music in the game and then the game makes a nice course for you to ride on. It’s really funny and quite addictive. I played it on Windows but I can see some reports that it is available for Mac also, checking that out right now.

My school semester is coming to and end! Finally, a week without to many things to do! Yesterday I had a presentation with my project team, it went well and we got a 6/10 for the team. Concerning our tough team work in the last 9 weeks this really isn’t bad! I will get my final grade in the next couple of weeks. About those grades, I think I may be making a page where I will post al my grades and update that pages every time I get a new one. Still thinking about that

Anyway, next Thursday I will be going to Unsraw! Unsraw is a Japanse heavy metal band which I liked very much in the past. “So you don’t like them that much now?” No, not so much because their new albums were not what I expected, so I hope they will play a lot of old songs Unsraw will play in Tivoli in Utrecht.

I will also be going to the International Film Festival next Thursday! It’s part of my school study, it’s a sort of minor (something I could choose for this semester). I wonder what I will see there! Pretty excited, I just hope they will show some nice movies

Next Saturday I will be going to the Sushi Qube in Rotterdam with some friends. A good friend of mine named Arjan came back from Sweden, so we need to celebrate that After dinner we may visit a nice bar in Rotterdam, but where not sure yet, we will see about that on Saturday.

Well that’s about it, I need to get to work now. Have one last assignment to complete for school. I need to make a final report for Interaction Design. It’s really boring, but it has to be done. Thank god I can also work on it tomorrow :S

Another J-Rock song I really like very much! I’ve been following this group since this year actually and I think they are pretty good. Vocals, guitar and drums are really good and it sounds really great! Maybe some people can recall some English sentences in this song?

One of my favorite Japanse rock bands released a new music video, they are called -OZ-. They’ve got a new style, it’s quite nice a think although some people think it may be to girly. I really like the music as well although I can’t understand it, it has great instrumental sounds I always buy their music when I see them for sale online, I think it is important to help my favourite artists. Well, just have a look if you want to.

This number is part of the Guitar Hero 5 game, it’s really a great song to play! The song itself is also very fun, only the music style and the band name doesn’t really fit together I thought. But, now that I’ve seen the clip I get it; everything is just wrong! With this band name you think of Death Metal, with music you think plain rock and when you see the clip you don’t know what to think anymore. Well just have a look for yourself:

Has a great guitar rithme in it! Sounds great, and yes! It’s Japanese

Found this song yesterday. It’s a great song from a artist called Peter Fox. Some people may know him from the song Haus am See, but I like this song a bit better because it’s more energetic. I like the way the violin is incorporated in this song, the drums as well! Well, just look for yourself:
