You can always tell when I've been re-reading Harry Potter: E Nomine is always the highest played artist of the week.

For some reason, I find them to be a very appropriate "soundtrack" to the books.

With your player still on shuffle, list the next 10 artists that come up (no repeats):

#1: OOMPH!

#2: E Nomine

#3: Dir en grey

#4: Nickelback

#5: Kotoko

#6: Mimosa

#7: D

#8: Scary Kids Scaring Kids

#9: Sum 41

#10: Avril Lavigne

Now answer these questions (without shuffle).

Out of these, which is your favourite band?
OOMPH!

Have you ever seen #4 in concert?
No.

Do you own any merchandise by #9?
No. I have a shirt from a festival they played at though.

Have you met any members of #2?
lawlnooo

I find this interesting:

My neighbor/her frequently-visiting-boyfriend above me are.. loud. They storm around and shake my ceiling, and don't seem to care if I can hear their conversations/sex.

This has resulted in less-than good nights of sleep for me.
After laying in bed for two hours this morning, trying to fall back asleep and failing, I roll out of bed and start up the computer.

Apparently they don't like my german music, because the second OOMPH! started playing, I hear nothing from above.
(Or maybe I'm just playing it so loud I'm drowning their loud-asses out.)

I'm convinced the people of iTunes are doing weed, or something similar.

They categorized Die Krupps as Rock. Not so farfetched, but they're still off. Ruoska is apparently pop, and Hanzel und Gretyl are dance.

Seriously?
No.

Dir en grey has a new album coming out later this month. Friggin' A, right?

I wish. The single for Glass Skin, just the single, is nearly $20 dollars. The CD itself, Uroboros, is about $40. The limited edition CD? $150.

Jesus fuck, I can't afford that. Tuition is killing me- damned college education.
Being broke makes me sad. So here's where I debate between eating, or buying a CD. It's a hard choice to make.

Write the top 10 artists from your last.fm page, then write the first song you heard, which song made you love them, and your current favorite song.

#1 E Nomine
first: Mitternacht
love: Vater Unser
favorite: Schwarze Sonne, Der Ring der Nibelungen, Der Turm. I love most of their songs though.

#2 Rammstein
first: I don't remember. Mutter, maybe.
love: Links 2 3 4
favorite: Spring, Feuer Frei!, Sonne.

#3 OOMPH!
first: No idea.
love: Gott ist ein Popstar
favorite: Augen Auf!, Gott ist ein Popstar, Mein Schatz.

#4 Pain
first: Not Afraid to Die
love: The Third Wave
favorite:…

Broadway soundtracks disappoint me.. especially if it's a show I've personally done.

Last night I closed "Grease," and today I bought one of the better versions of the soundtracks I could find. Nonetheless, it's not the same. It never has the same passion.

I guess I best get used to it.

Dad returned from Japan this morning. He brought back a few things: Style by Namie Amuro, and THUMPx by Porno Graffitti.

I've wanted these two for years. I'm pretty happy right now.

Dad is off for his Spring trip to Japan this Friday. Of course, I'm composing a list of CDs to look for. Usually he has a day or two to himself in Tokyo- this trip one of his travel companions wants to get some music too.

The list:

Do As Infinity: Break of Dawn, New World

L’Arc~en~Ciel: Ark, Dune, Link

Namie Amuro: Style

DéspairsRay: Mirror, Coll:set

Porno Graffitti: THUMPx

the GazettE: Stacked Rubbish

Rentrer en Soi: Sphire-Croid, Amongst Foolish Enemies

Hayato Matsuo: Black Dog

Obviously, I'm not…

1. E Nomine
2. Pain
3. OOMPH!
4. Dir en grey
5. Rammstein
6. KMFDM
7. Turmion Kätilöt
8. Hellogoodbye

Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

-What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
Stray Bullet, I think.

-What is your favourite album of 2?
It's a tie with "Psalms of Extinction" and "Dancing With the Dead"

-What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
"Sex ist ein Schlacht- Liebe ist Krieg" Sex is a battle, love is war.

-How many times…
