Embarrassingly enough, the 20,000th track belongs to... Agent 5.1. I wanted something else for the 20,000 milestone, but every time i start over my computer, the CMOS crashes, so my system time is reset to 2002... and audioscrobbler complains about it... and apparently the two Ducktails tracks that I listened to... they should have been resubmitted from cache... but no... bleah, bleah, bleah.

I've removed some users in my friends list that I never talked to...
Now that is a really boring reason for writing a journal after centuries, right? -

Sankt Otten - Eine kleine Traurigkeit review:
http://treetopview.blogspot.com/2008/12/review-sankt-otten-eine-kleine.html
Also:
This is called "Poeme în aer liber. Moartea vie a Eleonorei" (Poems in Open Air. The Alive Death of Eleonora) and it's by a very underappreciated Romanian poet, Stephan Roll, also one of the key members of the Romanian avant-garde. This edition brings together two volumes by Stephan Roll, one of poems published in 1929 and one of prose poetry published in 1930. The original editions of these books are very sought after by collectors... With a bit of luck, I may find very soon a more complete edition of Stephan Roll's writings called "Ospăţul de aur" (The Golden Banquet). I like this book very much and it's certainly one of the best I've read this year (and I've read about 50 books this year!).
A complete overview on the books I've read this year later, on Dec. 31. -

Last.fm Quiz
5 VII 2008, 11:07
Name your top 10 artists played on last.fm
1. Abricot
2. Perfume Tree
3. Sankt Otten
4. Bowery Electric
5. Cocteau Twins
6. Halou
7. Lost Balance
8. Lotus
9. Curium
10. Sorem Sound System
What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
I think
Honeythief or
You are One of Us. I'm not sure though, but I guess it was one of these two.
What is your favourite album of 2?
A Lifetime Away! For the most, dust manages to be really close to it though.
What is your favourite lyric that 4 has sung?
Oh, Bowery Electric aren't really about the lyrics. The (only) lyrics of
Beat:
Words are just noise,
words are only noise.
Oh, they're not the only ones. At some point, it is replaced with
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
With all the sound effects going on, I seem to hear "rebeat" instead of "repeat"...
How many times have you seen 5 live?
0. (mind you, I haven't seen live ANYONE I've played on Last.fm. Well, anyway, I don't like standing near the typical loud amplifiers...)
What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
It was really an agony trying to find their music. A good memory should be that time when I managed to find some songs at a friend of mine. At that time though, I didn't fully appreciated the songs - only now I did that, even though I still have the feeling that most of Screaming Black is plagiarized from somewhere...
Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Oh yeah! I barely can stand the painful beauty of
Fallen und fangen [Johannes der Laeufer]! Halfway through the song, tears and goose bumps are a must with all the emotion the vocalist evokes...
What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung?
"rainbows flood my naked sheets
while my precious nightmare jacket
my precious nightmare jacket
folds around and around and around me like death"
nightmare jacket
What is your favorite song by 9?
Tough one. I think I'll go with
Cliffbeckon.
How did you get into 3?
I got into Sankt Otten quite hard. From the first times I've listened to Eine kleine Traurigkeit and Wir koennen ja Freunde bleiben I thought the songs were OK, but it was quite recently that I realized how great these albums were.
What was the first song you heard by 1?
Glimpse. That's the only Abricot song I could find for a while.
What is your favorite song by 4?
Very hard choice. I like all of Lushlife, but maybe I will choose
Postscript as it hasn't weared off yet!
How many times have you seen 9 live?
0. (well anyway Evan didn't performed too much live under this name)
What is a good memory you have involving 2?
Probably the months in which I was nearly addicted to Nightmare Jacket.
Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
No...
What is your favorite album of 5?
Treasure, closely followed by Twinlights EP.
What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung?
No, I don't have a favorite... because I can't really understand the lyrics. :)
What is your favorite song of 1?
Very hard to choose! All the 4 songs I've got are excellent!
What is your favorite song of 10?
Beautiful Spirit or A Piece of Dismind or Screaming Black.
How many times have you seen 8 live?
0.
What is your favorite album of 1?
Oh, they don't really have albums. They only made 2 demos and I only got one of them (A Drop of Yellow?).
What is a great memory you have considering 9?
When Bism finally arrived on mTraks after one awfully long month.
What was the first song you heard by 8?
Another Day... Because it was among the two free downloads from their official website.
What is your favorite cover by 3?
They didn't do many covers, but I do like the only cover I've got - Sehnen [Hätte ich von Dir eine Fotografie]. (don't ask me how I got it... blame it on Stephen ;) )
