weekend'n'stuff

yay, friday night. almost saturday, to be (not quite) accurate. friday 13th, always a "special" date, where the retarded superstitious folks are especially retarded superstitious. luckily (hah, oh the irony), i'm a person devoted to faggotry reason and therefore couldn't care less what date it is.

though, that's not all true. because tomorrow , 14th of may, is an anniversary. the curious reader now might ask "what kind of anniversary is this? please tell us, you bastard dear mr. internet guy".

i will, but only because you've asked so nicely


(by this time) today, exactly a year ago, was the first time i ever heard rosetta. that is so FUCKING AWESOME I'M WRITING IN CAPS LIKE A DOUCHEBAG. when i'm taking a look at my top albums for the past year, (according to last.fm) number 1, the 2nd place and the bronze medal go to rosetta, which equals (coincidently, no doubt) the exact number of full length-albums they've released so far. astonishing, huh?

i guess, some of you now even want me to die in a fire publish the exact numbers, huh? well, you wish and i obey (keep that moment in memory, that won't happen that soon again):

1. Rosetta - A Determinism of Morality                  Play-count: 1,478
2. Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites                        Play-count: 1,158
3. Rosetta - Wake/Lift                                             Play-count: 724

plays on mobile devices (i.e. mp3-players) are NOT included, which would probably double this figures.

the rest of the top 5, big surprise following the first 3:

4 . CompulsorySkin - NakedToTheBones                Play-count: 645

this album is a real gem, coming from the berlin-based multi talent PiaPale, recording the album completely on her own (and got into huge debts to do so, btw, so please actually buy her records)

5. The Ocean - Precambrian                                    Play - count: 637

this is no surprise, though it was obviously a close call with NakedToTheBones.

for completionists, the remaining 5 to fill the top10:

6. Red Sparowes - Every red Heart shines towards the Sun
7. Isis - Oceanic
8. Isis - Panopticon
9. Cult of Luna - Salvation
10 . Neurosis - A Sun that never sets

as you can see, this charts are dominated by post-metal, which is a very good thing. every single record in this list has an unconditional recommendation to buy (and i actually mean buy, pirating music from these artists is a complete no-go. whoever does that should die in a fire reconsider his attitude and most definitely quit reading my blog).

with that in mind
