I find it unfair that some people get the chance to see Local H for just $10!!! Bah.

Now there is a band that should've been massive, but they kind of fell off the face of the earth. I do only own one of their numerous albums, that being As Good As Dead, but that album is one of my all-time favourites.

Just thought that I would share. ;)

It's interesting how much time I spend poring over my charts here at Last.fm. I also have my charts (top 10s anyway) on my MySpace page, and I display them with pride! Particularly the 10 latest tracks, although occasionally I try to listen to as many new tracks as possible to hide something embarrassing (say, Bryan Adams or Cher). Some embarrassing artists I don't bother to hide, such as Mariah Carey, 'cause my love of her is just too well established. I only have one Bryan Adams song, and one Cher song, so I don't see how that…

I am turning 26 tomorrow so I guess I should have 26 entries shouldn't I?? After all, old people have at least 26 entries. :)

Anyway…I am here to rave about a band I found at MySpace via a random search for bands/people with the word 'colour' in their names. You can find them at MySpace, just search for Strike The Colours, and I do believe you will be happy with what you find. Their songs are really pretty and I am listening to one right now!! I am also putting some of them (they are downloadable you know!!)…

Since I am feeling down, somehow I am in the mood for sad perty songs, so I have made a special playlist and chucked a bunch of sappiness on there. This is reflected in the presence of a lot of the Smashing Pumpkins and Liz Phair, some Alice in Chains, Billy Corgan, a dash of Portishead, Jack Johnson, Radiohead (of course!!), Matthew Good, Michelle Branch, Powderfinger, Veruca Salt, Chris Cornell (ahhh!!! Sweet Euphoria just came on!) and a Zwan song.

The wine is helping too!!

YAY!!!

I finally found a copy of that song by Catherine, featuring D'Arcy Wretzky from the Smashing Pumpkins. Four Leaf Clover (I've Made Up My Mind). I think I love the song mostly because I love D'Arcy and I love the video clip and…yeah. It has D'Arcy in it. What more could one want?

Woooooo!

Got this silly thingy from Sere’s journal. ;p

1. Take your top ten artists and get their ‘emo rating’. If you look on the artist page and then click "Tags" you can see how many times they’ve been tagged "Emo":

The Smashing Pumpkins - 51 (???????)
Liz Phair - 2 (!)
Silverchair - 21 (?)
Soundgarden - 10 (?!)
Queens of the Stone Age - 35 (?!)
Nirvana - 73 (?!?!)
Kittie - 13 (ha ha ha…)
Madonna - 14 (haaaaaaa)
Unwritten Law - 50
Helmet - 2 (this made me laugh a lot…but so did the ‘death metal’ tag…

Yay! I finally managed to download Connection by Elastica. But not only that, I also downloaded Stutter. This song roooooccccckks!!!

I'm going to be listening to it a lot I think. ;)

Ha ha, now "Ride On Time by Black Box is on. This takes me back to being a kid! Sheesh.

I'm not impressed by the fact that I listened to over 60 Veruca Salt songs in my recent Winamp binge, and they don't appear to have shown up in the overall tally. I know they showed up in 'latest listens' but they're not in the overall tally. ;p

Grr!!!

Hey guys! I just thought that if you were ever wanting to expand your minds without having to wait for your friends to shove new music upon you in the expectation that you're going to LOVE IT OR ELSE!!!! you might wanna check out the triple j website, and in particular this page, which features new artists quite regularly and allows you to download a song from each of them.

I heard a Horsell Common song on Triple J one time and liked it. So I went to that page and found it there, downloadable! And I downloaded it.…

Not that a day goes by when I don't have one!! (Slight exagg there maybe *g*) But some may recall that, um, last year maybe, I went through aaaaaall my mp3s and listened to each and everyone of them, in alphabetical order.

Well I'm kind of doing that now, except I'm skipping ones I don't feel like listening to this time (I can't remember if I did that last time too…).

So currently I just finished B, and am onto C. Carole King is it. But I only have one of her songs. ;) So it will be sans Carole…
