Domo Arigato

We were at a party last night, a nominal whiskey tasting, but in practice just an awesome party. Naturally, this lead to some really great band names (none of which we could recall the next morning), but also quite a bit of really good conversation about the impending nuclear explodingness in Japan.

As a side note, it should be noted that Japan has been a hotbed of international whiskey distilling in the past decade or so. Some really good whiskeys have come out of there, despite being half a world away from the ancestral home of the stuff.

And on another side note, you might want to go donate a buck or two to the Japanese Red Cross. They can really use it these days.

Back on topic, all this lead to a fantastic band name of dubious taste:

Heavy Metal Meltdown, which is, of course, a heavy metal band with folk overtones, sort of like a modern day Led Zeppelin. Alternately, this name could also be used by an electronica band, sort of like a Japanese Daft Punk.
