Fundraiser for Damien O'Carroll Last Monday, Damien had a very serious car wreck in Australia. He is in critical condition at the moment and is undergoing a major operation to ease the pressure on his brain today. His family and girlfriend need all the support and help that they can get. This weekend, look out for the "green boxes" at most of the foreigner bars (O'Brien's, Crossroads, RocknRoll) and please help him out by making a donation. Damo was a good friend to lots of us during his time in Korea so let's be a friend to him. Up and coming fund raising events will be announced soon. Thanks for all your help and support!

Thanks to Rocky for bringing this to our attention:

Korean banks are confused about how to handle foreigner's needs due to the government's lack of specific regulations. To try to fix/standardize the problem and respond to foreigner's needs, there is an online survey to gain information about what needs we have.

From the Events Calendar:

This weekend the calendar offers up a couple of very different events. On Saturday, January 19th is the 21st annual Busan Polar Bear Swim at Haeundae Beach.

For those who are into the DJ scene there's a fantastic line-up of DJs spinning at the Grand Hotel in Haeundae. The headliner is Towa Tei.

Towa Tei was born in Tokyo, He moved to New York City in 1987 and he became involved in the New York City club scene. He first earned notice for his production work on the Jungle Brothers' 1989 LP Done by the Forces of Nature.

In 1990, he shot to fame as a member of the downtown New York club trio Deee-Lite. The group scored an international hit with 'Groove Is In the Heart'.

In 1991, Towa Tei and Super DJ Dmitri collaborated with Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto on the song 'Rap the World'.

After two albums, 1990's World Clique and 1992's Infinity Within, Towa Tei left Deee-Lite to begin working on solo projects; his debut album 'Future Listening!', appeared in 1995. His second album for Elektra Records was 1998's Sound Museum. On it, he collaborated with Kylie Minogue for the track 'GBI: German Bold Italic', which reached number 20 in Japan and number 63 in the UK. Bebel Gilberto also did vocals for the album. This was followed by album Last Century Modern in 1999.

He builded Sibuya Techno mark, and he is playing unique music with not just Electronic but also bossa nova, jazz, soul.
