Back to work, new tunes, and an interesting find

So today was my first day back at work after a long vacation (a.k.a wait for VISA). It was business as usual, english, english, and more english. Today was a good 30 degrees, which is death in a suit, but that's life in Tokyo. Lucky for us the government says you don't have to wear a tie after a certain time of year, so that adds at least a little comfort to the heat.

Also, this morning before I went to sleep I came across a huge MF DOOM music collection. Obviously the first thing I did was grab the entire thing. He is by far my favorite true hip-hop artist. If you have been following hip-hop for some time, or know somewhat of what I mean by "true" hip-hop artist, you should know who MF Doom is. If not, hurry and take a look on google.

Some newer Doom


and Doom's original group KMD


Also, I finally found the newest and first of it's kind cigarette out in Japan right now. Recently there has been a huge rise in menthol cigarettes here. Mild 7 has released a menthol cigarette, Marlboro has a new menthol flavor, Kool has a 4 new flavors, with the addition to the one I found today. Kool Boost is the name and it is by far the coolest cigarette I have ever seen. If you just smoke the cigarette it is like a normal Kool menthol, but there is a little capsule inside the filter you can break open and releases a mint like liquid. This soaks into the filter and enhances the menthol flavor by about 3 times. It goes for 330yen which is 30yen more than the average cigarette, but DAMM it's cool. Here are some pictures.

The outside of the box.


Basically just crush that spot with your fingers and it breaks the capsule inside.


I tore open the filter for you guys to see the capsule. After breaking it in my hand the liquid felt like I had rubbed Vics Vapor rub on it. Pretty innovative if you ask me.
