\m/

exactly one year ago, i sign up to a website that i had just discovered some days ago. it was called LastFM and it was all about music charts, our own music charts. one year later, my ten top artists are:

1. Nirvana (1446 plays)
2. Misfits (1019 plays)
3. Depeche Mode (966 plays)
4. Alice In Chains (842 plays)
5. Pink Floyd (744 plays)
6. Mark Lanegan (544 plays)
7. Screaming Trees (512 plays)
8. Pantera (501 plays)
9. Queens Of The Stone Age (453 plays)
10. The Smashing Pumpkins/ The Libertines ( 399 plays)

when i sign up i never thought that one year later this would be the bands/ artists i listened more. Pantera on my top ten? one year ago i didn't even like metal!!! but they kick ass, that's why i like them \m/ Misfits are the other ones who surprise me the most. since i found punk rock, i've always been crazy about it, but the Misftis were never my favorites. until i found how fucking great they really are, and since then, they've been an addiction. a good one.
i know this is completely useless, but i just felt like writing something here.
and to make this not so booooring && useless, i'll tell something good: to everyone of you who never heard of mr. Mark Lanegan, give it a try :) that man is a real god, almost as good as mr. Cobain was. everything he touches turns into gold, and i'm not the only one saying this. i choose to talk about him, not only because he really rocks, but because he is probably the less known one on that list. his old band, Screaming Trees, kicked ass too, he really great solo albuns and wonderful colaborations with other artists, such as Isobell Campbell (the cute blond girl from Belle & Sebastian), Soulsavers or Twilight Singers. and everyone who likes QOTSA surely will recognize his voice. he did some songs with them on Rated R and Songs For The Deaf.
and this is getting too big. bye bye kissy kissy :)
