    Anything that ridicules the Islam is fine with me, awful music or otherwise!

    Somebody didn't study the acclaimed book 'The Anatomy of a Pikachu'.
  3. The issues are persistent! I had a quick look and... Calm down, last.fm! You've had your fun. Playtime's over.
  4. I was wondering who voted for the 1930's because of all the decades that one is largely unexplored territory for me and I was wondering if you could share some of your 30's favorites here?

    Blind Mr. Jones - Stereo Musicale (full album)
  6. Psysalia Psysalis Psyche was shaping up to become one of the better Japanese bands but their only full length record was very disappointing and then they called it quits. MUCC was at the top of their game with Shion and Kyutai and then, with no warning at all, or at least I didn't see it coming, it all went to oblivion with the next releases and they never recovered. Blondie's "second comeback" with the album Panic of Girls in 2011 was completely forgettable. I expected more because it would've been the second time they came back from the dead to write new music (and you don't do that if you don't have confidence!) but it was a lot worse than the 1999 and 2003 albums. And the Ghosts of Download album in 2014 can hardly be called a disappointment because who expected anything good after Panic of Girls anyway? DIR EN GREY's Arche is, after initial excitement, hollow and tame. At first I was excited to hear a couple of great songs but after several more listens the other songs became dragging snoozefests to fill up the void between the few good songs.

    You can find a lot of the worst rock bands in the world by browsing the 'similar artists' section on the Five Finger Death Punch last.fm page. This band is atrocious and any music like it is too. All That Remains, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying... these groups are almost as cringeworthy as a My Little Pony convention with twenty-somethings instead of little girls.

    All hail thrift stores! When you find something good among all the BZN rubbish it can be very rewarding Can you safely remove the stickers though? When they paste price tag stickers straight on record and book sleeves and you can't remove them without leaving some damage... these stupid folks are doing Satan's work. Last things I bought were (used and cheap) Blondie 7 inch singles: Call Me, Rapture, Union City Blue and Sunday Girl Thin Lizzy's Black Rose on CD
  9. Yes, probably. Those on the far left and far right won't be visible in the library. All white apparel against a white background? Yeah... that's another sin. Plus the artist's name on the image? That's unnecessary clutter. Image sin count: 3 Final rating: Don't worry I won't downvote
  10. A ton of money too. Look at that price tag! All for what's likely a collection of interviews and some archive material. Money well wasted.

    Morrissey's solo career doesn't hold a candle to The Smiths. Hugs and tears and all that nonsense during "last lives" like the one by X Japan in 1997(?) is just posing and bad theatre and when releasing the concerts on home video the editor should cut away all that cheap sentiment.
  12. Hast du es gehört? - Was gehört? Hast du ES gehört? - WAS GEHÖRT?!
  13. Genrebending timeless classic.
  14. No DEAD END, Jigs? Explain thyself! I thought you were a massive fan! Alice Nine? Explain thyself! Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas? What is this garbage, kill thyself! Explain thyself! Would replace that larping seal album with their debut: Dune, and the the GazettE album with DIM. And X Japan album has to be Blue Blood. Also it has too much emphasis on visual rock, could do with some more Elephant Kashimashi, Jun Togawa (or YAPOOS) or Flower Travellin' Band and that sort of stuff. And don't forget the whole shibuya-kei scene either! Throw a couple of albums in there! Expecting a major revamp now Jigs, don't disappoint!

    Are there any music magazines in physical form (actual paper sliding through your hands, all hail papercuts!) left that do not have very questionable motives? All of them seem to have A4 sized advertisements for new albums while the review section gives an 8/10 or 9/10 to the same album in the same magazine! Have they no shame? Or what about 'gigs to visit'-sections with hyping previews for concerts that coincidentally happen to all take place in the same 2 or 3 venues that coincidentally also happen to be mentioned in the list of sponsors on the last pages of the magazine? How do these things SELL? You could get away with it back in the internetless days but who still buys this crap in the digital era where independent reviews are available all over the internet? How does this work?

    You can't pay an homage to yourself, it doesn't work like that!
  17. 80's has one lonely vote? Are you folks all mad? It's the most lively decade of all, it has everything.

    'People' is such an ugly word. To write and to pronounce. Peepel? Peepuhl?! I like 'folks' best because it feels sort of belittling which is good because the human race sucks anyway
  20. There's nothing wrong with your scrobbling devices or music players, it's just last.fm's scrobble detection server (or whatever you call it) is messing up (disconnecting?) frequently. The continuously on/off switching of your scrobbler happens because if it can't find the last.fm server it switches off and saves the scrobble in memory to scrobble later. But if it scrobbles a song then switches off after scrobbling but switches back on before the song is actually finished, it may scrobble another time because it doesn't remember it already scrobbled before it had trouble finding the last.fm headquarters. Or it has something to do with the percentages of a song listened before scrobbling. I think the default setting is at 50%. Meaning that once the 50% bar of the song length is reached, it scrobbles. If it disconnects after reaching 50% but reconnects before 100%, it may scrobble again. If you're using the external last.fm scrobbler you should be able to mess with the settings and tell it to scrobble only at 100% of the song listened instead. If this works you should be able to get rid of double scrobbles at the risk of not scrobbling anything at all. If you're using a scrobbler that's a built-in feature on a music player then I don't think you can change this setting. Pay attention to longer songs: higher odds that they scrobble double, triple... quadriple even!
  21. Borderline robotic voices, ugly guitar sounds, muddled mess of hideous layers, these are not the soundscapes I enjoy. At some point they thought it was cool to go for a guitar tune equivalent to maintenance work on machines or something. That's the association I make when I hear those guitars. What the fuck is this really? So much for this DECAYS garbage, I'm out.

    I've taken an oath not to use the word "interesting" ever again in the context of describing anything in the entertainment arts such as songs, films, paintings and novels. If anyone catches me using the word in that context from this day on then please ban me for a couple of days or change my avatar to a cone of shame or something. By the way the kitty is not begging for your or anyone else's mercy!

    I could make a topic called "The evil things nostalgia. does" because you seem very eager to share your villainous behaviour!

    I don't get it. Call you out on what? On visiting their blog? What kind of blog? Why do they track whoever visits a dead blog? Explain yourself for visiting their blog? Doing what? So many questions.

    We miss you in plug, chewi. Play us more of your strange, awful, awe-inspiring and fantastic tunes.
