Jenn and I are back after a two week hiatus. Inspired by a Japanese vacation, we devoted the first half-or-so of Arrhythmia to a bunch of Japanese bands (and that Metal Boys song, which is fun and cheesy). That part of the show runs up through the OOIOO song and then we finished up with Jenn's picks from the whpk new bin.
