Ohh, yeah, but I think people just like to recommend their favorites and all that. I find "trying to put things into your mind" much too extreme, irrelevant. And yes, "politics, making bullshit an art," but it's all the same. How well one can identify and how susceptible the person is to bullshit's what I was aiming at, so I used politics as an example - whether or not it actually is bullshit is beyond the point and much too arguable. "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is contempt prior to investigation." P.S. Pratchett is awesome! :D

I find that quote overused and even a bit nonsensical. I mean, in what context could it actually be applied? Naturally, Pratchett's a joker. :) Look at it through politics - the minds most closed are the ones most susceptible to bullshit, as long as it fits into a certain worldview. Thinking for yourself is a precondition to successfully opening the mind. And, well, "The best teacher is experience and not through someone's distorted point of view."

Yup. I don't even look at it like that, though. It's appreciating music for what it is, rather than - I generalize - looking for the same fast, surely satisfactory shit that you'd like to hear again and again, if you get what I mean. [Change "music" with "people," "life experience," or whatever; works just as well. :)]]

I don't know who you are or why your commenting on my shoutbox and I was initially a touch offended by your comments but I will give you reasonable response as to why I claim I am open minded. To me, it simply means how I approach music. It doesn't matter what type of music it is or how "generic" it is, as long as I keep an open mind whilst listening to it. A recent example is Opeth. They are a really challenging listen for me because its pretty different from anything I have ever listened to before. Yet I am enjoying it and they might well lead me down another musical path in future. That to me is been openminded, its not simply listening to music that is different for the sake of it and claiming to be open minded. it is all about attitude, and it applies to all different types of music. Of course I could get bored of metal/rock but that doesn't mean I will be afraid to check out bands in other genres. I do enjoy other genres but for am focusing on brushing up on my metal for now.

You should seriously get it, it's one of the best p2p programs and it's perfect for less known music. I'll snoop around your list, maybe you have something that I seek. Maybe the Holy GHRAILLLLLL!

Thanks for the link! I gave it a listen and it was an very interesting experience, I think I like it but I can't really make any sane conclusion by just one listen. By the way if you have any requests I'll be happy to upload it for you. You can catch me on soulseek and creep trough my library if you wish. My username there is Burekh.

Yeah you are pretty much right there. Though there's always Corrupted, that alone could be enough for me when it comes to doom haha. Well the only funeral doom band I know is, Funeral. I can't really make any distinction between the two. Is Funeral Doom supposed to be a more extreme version of ordinary doom or something?

Power metal is mostly bullshit but there are some gems that shine from the pile. Like, Blind Guardian, they aren't so bad, at least the old albums. I like all extreme genres of metal equally (ok maybe I like drone a bit more from others). Death and black metal though suffer a lot of repetition and have too many generic bands. Not sure about death metal but black metal is having it's reformation. Bands like Darkspace, Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord etc. give some very refreshing sounds to the genre.

Haha I had a similar experience but with last.fm and I was also mostly into metal when I joined up (which explains the oh satanic music and trve bands I have in my list). I kinda miss those days of ignorant elitist prick behavior. I checked around the site and it seems really great so thanks for the nice new site. :3 Also, Foobar is ftw!

Rate Your Music seems like an really interesting site. I think I'll register there. I read a few of your reviews. You certainly aren't pleased easily with music haha. I can't believe you gave Mono & World's End Girlfriend just one star. T_T

Oh I see. Well I tried their Bunny Boy album from 2008 but didn't really enjoy it much. They have an quite large discography which is always great and bad at the same time (I never know where to start with bands that have so many albums). Anyway, thanks for the recommendations I'll be sure to check those albums out. Oh and to return the favor, check out Datach'i (Shock Diamonds and Mmale and Ffemale would be good albums to start with). Some really amazing and atmospheric IDM.

By the way. How are The Residents? I've been meaning to get some of their albums but I'm not very sure where to start. Could you recommend me some of their albums?

True enough. Well, do you have msn or facebook or something? I'm not on Last.fm too awful much, but we should talk! :)

I dunno. Usually 5/8 forumers tend to add each other as friends on Last.fm and RYM. I don't use my RYM for anything but the wishlist to remember albums I want, so I figured I'd add you here. :D Unless you don't we me to?

It is. But I don't give a shit about astrology because it's a load of shit. Sagittarius A* is the center of the milky way galaxy, that's where I got the name from. Because I'm a nerd like that. :3
