again.
it happened again.
it's the second time that someone uses my account to scrobble his music (and in addition, the music was way too far from the one i'm used to listen to…).
i don't see what kind of pleasure they find in stealing last.fm's accounts (is that hard and exciting, maybe?).

this time they listened to "the fall of troy", or better, to the bad tagged version of the band, "fall of troy" (kind of a prophetic name, huh?).

this j. entry has been written 'just in case', because in the next days i…

This j. entry is (and will be) used to write down MY personal opinion about some of the artists I've met on MySpace, and they will be listed in two different lists: a positive and a negative one, not basing on their musical performances or whatever concerns their music (which I obviously appreciate if I've ever contacted them) but merely on their way of behaving towards 'common people'….that in this specific situation are… well, actually, in this situation it's just me. But, hey, this is only my personal opinion about them.

THUMB UP

Sparklehorse
Well, after applying to his friendship…

parlo di lei da un punto di vista umano. parlo della persona.

per quel che riguarda la sua musica… beh, ho già sprecato sin troppe parole altrove, e a questo punto me ne pento, ma me ne pento più che amaramente, visto che non merita nemmeno una virgola di attenzione, almeno per quanto mi riguarda.

e mi taglio le mani se solo provo in futuro a rimettere su il suo disco o qualsiasi cosa che sia legato a lei, espers compresi (non la voglio vedere più neanche lontanamente in classifica).

Ho appena appreso dalla pagina degli ...a toys orchestra dell'invito ufficiale a tutti gli utenti last.fmmensi di cambiare i loro tag ai brani del gruppo campano, in modo da eliminare i puntini e far diventare quindi quella degli a toys orchestra la pagina ufficiale del gruppo su last.fm (ricordo che sui dischi il nome del gruppo compare coi tre famigerati puntini, che vengono riconosciuti anche dal sistema automatico di attribuzione dei nomi alle tracce quando il cd originale viene inserito nel lettore, campeggiando così da winamp e anche -suppongo- dal mediaplayer o da i-tunes o da qualsivoglia lettore multimediale stiate…

This journal entry is an update of the one written in December 2006, and it reviews the independent musical scene from Italy, focusing above all on the italian indie bands and artists.

The entry comes out from the contribution of various Last.fm users, and this is meant to be an open list, where new artists can always be added. So if you want to know more about the history and evolution of the list or if you'd like to contribute yourself with some artists, you can take a look at the following topic (it's written in italian):

We Love…

I already know from the very beginning that this j. entry will be a polemic one. I don't mean to offend any of my last.fm friends by writing this entry, honestly, and this is because I don't have any kind of 'personal problem' with any of them, definitely none.
However, I'm getting a bit bothered with the recent high frequency of 'cumulative' recommendations (sometimes even two per day!), by more than one of my last.fm friends. This is not a problem itself, I have to say it, but honestly I'd rather like to receive 'customized' recommendations, kind of 'personal' ones,…
