Please take these charts with a grain of sand... Nowadays I mostly do not listen on my computer or phone. I listen to my iPod 5th-Gen in the car for at least an hour daily, and a few vinyls per week - both of which do not scrobble. However, I have started listening to my "mix" radio at work, which scrobbles.

I love recommending people new music, so just look at my charts or ask me about a specific genre. My music-listening roots are in power metal but I have since branched out to basically anything (provided it's good :D). Including but not limited to: post-black metal, shoegaze, hardcore/deathcore/emo, melodic rock/aor, male-fronted gothic metal, and even a little hip-hop and country.

If you have something you think I would like please shoutbox me! I don't get on here as often as I used to so don't feel offended if I don't respond for a while. :)

In the meantime, check out my blogspot with music reviews and previews. Or kill time by looking at my old "about me" below.


I guess I've always felt that we were one person and that you've allowed me to be our spokesman, but until this time of my greatest peril the truth was perhaps slightly hidden. It is hidden no more.
Together we' shall face the foe and live on to climb higher mountains and explore greater magic. Together we cannot fail. Please accept my never ending love and dedication to you all.
So it is written, and so it shall be.
MAGIC,
FROM RONNIE JAMES DIO

Apologies for tracks like "raw_063" that is from my phone, the built in media player does not sort out sound effects from the game "Let's Golf" from music. And last.fm scrobbles even though they are only 1 second in length!

Before I leave the house I swallow all my change so when I get hassled for hand outs I can pull down my pants & crap it into there palms
I'm starting to think I should do something more with my life rather than the 9-5 grind I am headed towards now. Any ideas?

My epic tag - Happy Bunny Hopping Through the Field Metal

My dream band (more or less):

Captain Kirk Douglas (Guitar) (The Roots)
Billy Sheehan (Bass) (Mr. Big)
Keith Emerson (Keyboards) (Emerson Lake and Palmer)
Dennis Chambers (Drums) (Niacin)


I always do MY thing. I don't believe in vocals where singers are just puppets of other people. That makes very static and unconvincing vocals for my ears. The singer always has to be himself. If someone wants me to sing a song and I say yes to it, it gets “kiskelized.”

People are like sheep just walking along, they have no idea what's going on in this world we live in!! We are letting stuff just happen to us instead of making it happen. I try to keep going where there doesn't seem to be a road. I try to make it despite the flood coming against me.

I am very anti-"When artists get rich they don't care about their fans anymore, so they do like 10 tour dates a year only in Europe, and have 4+ year gaps in album releases. They forget why they started making music - for the love of music." I'll make a group about it eventually. Examples:
Metallica
Blind Guardian
Arch Enemy
Linkin Park
Kamelot
...


Whats Wrong with this world?! Why you idiots don't realize that we are going to the end of the world. It's bad about us. Everyone knows that! But do you know the real reasons?! Economy crisis?! Global Warming?! You don't know a sh*t!! You don't know anything! Medias are manipulating you! You are Zombies!! F*ck off.. Guess you're thinking right know "what the f*ck does this Emo want from me?!". I'll tell you. I want you to be humans. I want you to be alive. I want you to be free. I want you to go on the streets and fight for your rights!
Wake up! GET ANGRY!!!!

I've wished last.fm had this feature for years. You'll notice bands with all long songs like Summoning, are much higher in ACTUAL PLAYTIME than number of plays (Click "Overall" to the left). No idea why last.fm never implemented this feature, but here it is. Click to get your own.
