It was actually hard to select a song for this journal entry (the last one for a while, 'cause I'll be away from home for the next month or 2). I finally chose another Nightwish song, the smash hit Bye Bye Beautiful. I considered Amaranth & Eva too, but funny re-interpretations of both can be found on Youtube. I wasn't satisfied by the alternative BBB versions there, so…

Now, make sure you sing along to this. Make sure several people hear you. Have fun!

Fine…

Idea stolen/borrowed from fellow last.fm user Saraisk.

Rulez:
1. Put your music player of choice on shuffle, and then write down the 30 songs that come up and at the end of each title add 'In My Pants'.
2. Bold the ones that work the best.
3. Laugh hysterically.
4. Pass it on.

Now, let's see what iTunes shuffles into my pants:

The 69 Eyes: Angels in my pants

Rob Zombie: Dragula in my pants (whee!)

Apocalyptica: Seek And Destroy in my pants

Procol Harum: Whiskey Train in my pants (hmmm…)

Metallica: Creeping Death in…

666 is the most over-used number in modern history, owing its popularity to the best-selling and most boring Fantasy novel of all time, a bunch of quasi-Satanist metal musicians (mostly of the wears-more-makeup-than-Christina Aguilera type) and an overrated 70's "horror" film.
Therefore, the use of the aforementioned number in your Internet ID's and email ads makes you look like a dumbass with ZERO imagination and creativity. Also, a lot of users with 666-something aliases are fucking jerks. Coincidence or something more…?

No mercy! :-P After The Poet And The Pendulum, it's time to make fun of symphonic metal yet again. This bombastic fukken epic stuff is just ASKING FOR IT!

Therion: Son Of The Staves Of Time
A truly superb song, one of the best from Gothic Kabbalah. But… I keep hearing weird things when I listen to it. Stuff like this…

What a year it's been! Several of my favorite bands/artists released new material, most of which met, or even surpassed my expectations. Of course '07 didn't lack disappointments either, but in the end, the good vastly outweighs the bad.
After 16 months of membership, I'm now headed for the play count of 13.000. I may not be the *drumroll*Top Listener*/drumroll* of any artist, but at least I can say that I have REALLY listened to each and every song I've played. I refuse to mock my fave bands by reducing their music to background noise (let's face it: there's no…

Videos, if done properly, add a visual facet to a song, completing the experience it offers to the listener.
Below you'll find a collection of videos (in no particular order) that have greatly impressed me.One for each artist:

Why 13? Well,I just happen to like the number…

13. Nightwish: Sleeping Sun
Most fans of this band will agree that Oceanborn was their artistic peak. After that, they basically repeated the same formula, while adding new touches here and there, to insure an even greater success. This, however, is not the place to discuss what Nightwish has become; rather, let us relax to the voice of a very young Tarja Turunen and the melody (of unearthly beauty) composed by a very young Tuomas Holopainen, and forget about everything else. Especially the negative stuff.

12. Rammstein: Rammstein
