Tsunami hit Japan and soon Taiwan

[bawang]

when i heard the news i felt nothing.

It has happened in the North which is considered less populated, but nevertheless there are still millions effected.

The death toll is thankfully low.
I have been getting messages as well that indicate much destruction and continued aftershocks.

I hope the best for Japan and all others who will be effected by the incoming tsunamis and aftershocks.

Youtube has a video of the Tsunami, it is something to see that's for sure.

[David Jamieson]

sadly, the death toll is climbing rapidly.
some 300 people were found in a pool following one of the tsunamis.

Nature...when it kicks ass, it really kicks ass.

Man, this Tsunami is on its way to San Francisco. it's actually kinda scary not knowing what to expect. If I don't make it....its been fun!

Hung Sing!!!!!!

Tsunami warning says it will hit San Francisco about 8 am my time.

we had a warning for the southern oregon coast too....i think it ended up being a swell...but you never know. those things have a habit of sneaking up in a very short time frame....

bawang hates japanese people.

[Violent Designs]

when i heard the news i felt nothing.

That was some pretty rough footage but you could tell it was bad.

They're predicting a March 18th earthquake in Cali now, too. Lucky me, I live right down the street from a fault-line that I've been told has been quiet for too long.

Santa Cruz also got hit with some swells from the tsunami, from what I've heard.

Crazy stuff...it's always humbling when the world reminds you that it can always, ALWAYS crush you like a bug on a whim.

[Syn7]

all of us sitting on the ring of fire are just waiting for it... its only a matter of time... the whole west coast has cause to create plans just in case... its not if, its when... maybe not in our lifetimes maybe tomorrow... its kind of irresponsible to not be ready for it...

[bawang]

this tsunami will remind people that we are all human, that being first world does not make us demigods.

its not honorable to gloat when your enemy is suffering, but im not gonna offer any false sympathies either. whatever happened happened, whatever will happen let it happen.

[Syn7]

well we can learn alot from the japanese here... look how well they have turned out, all considering... they build their cities with this scenario in mind... not much you can do about the water, but the buildings that were built properly did pretty well... a 7.0 leveled haiti, for example, cause haitis building codes suck... we build well here too... i have friends that work in seismic engeneering... they spend alot of time in cali and oregon showing the builders down there how to give the buildings enough flexibility to withstand alot of damage from a shake... lots of money in that these days... here, in vancity, everything goes thru seismic inspection... we even have safety cords on potlights in a starbucks.... even those lil 3 inchers... all planned for...

[Syn7]

Gov. Jerry Brown issued state of emergencies in four coastal counties on friday after hearing of the earthquake.... over-react much???


on a more positive note, warren buffet lost 150 mill when that quake hit...

Tom Lugo: The Man Whose Heart Sings Love

Many of you are already familiar with a very special man in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania named Tom Lugo. A man with the biggest heart in the world. Tom is the leading force behind the band Stellarscope and the owner of Patetico Recordings. He is also the man behind a number of music festivals, such as the Pop Noise Fest, in Philadelphia and Puerto Rico.

When times are tough, Tom is always the first to step up to the plate to contribute what he can in the ways that he does best.

As Japan continues to rumble, Tom has already devised a way to help collect a few funds to aid in the relief for the many victims of this tragedy. A series of compilations are underway to help aid the Japan Disaster Relief Fund. Though enough material has already been collected for a couple compilations, Tom is already considering a 3rd, and maybe even a 4th, to add to the collection.

There are three ways that you may be able to help.

1.) If you are a musician, you can submit a track for consideration for one of the later compilations. Make sure you select something good and not that piece of crap you can’t use because your singer smoked himself silly the night before and the guitar player had to resort to old worn out rusty strings because there weren’t any others left after breaking the last E and G strings anywhere near the studio. Besides, it was a crappy song anyway that really had no direction.

I’ve seen a few names of some who have already contributed a song and it promises to be a must for your collections. Some names that you will be proud to share some digital space with including a few rare tracks.

Remember, this will help to get you heard by an audience who may have never heard of you before. Also, if selected, you will be placed amongst others who have something worth hearing. Let the world hear you too are worth a listen.

You may submit your track to Tom Lugo at panophonic@yahoo.com as soon as possible.

2.) Once the compilations are released, buy yourself at least one copy of each compilation. By ‘buy a copy’, I mean actually spend a little money on a real copy, be it a hard copy issued CD or, if you prefer, a digital copy. I do not mean download a pirate copy that will give you the music but not do a thing to send aid to Japan. Remember people, that’s what this is all about. Helping our brothers and sisters in Japan. They need all that we can muster up, along with a few prayers or other loving vibes you might be able to send them.

Once these babies are ready, CDs and digital copies will be available from Amazon and through iTunes. While you are at it, don’t forget to maybe do a little early Christmas shopping or other gift purchasing while you’re there. It’s the kind of gift that gives to both your loved ones and to those greatly in need.

3.) Spread the word. Chat up these compilations and tell the rest of the world how great they are. Every little bit helps and Lord knows Japan needs every little bit that we can do for them right now and for a very long time to come.

Keep your eyes open on the Patetico Recordings website for the official release of these compiliations. Air Atlantic Underground Radio will also help to keep you up to date. Let’s help Tom spread the love.
