I finally set global hotkey for Next or Random track and Random playing mode in my sweet Foo2k. Now I keep hitting in it (Num -) all the time, because I want to discover brand new music from my hard drive disc.

I also edited my last.fm tags. Individual set of categories, but I like them. I will be adding more bands while listening.

Anyway, the most valuable bands and artist were found in Industrial, Ebm and Electronic tabs.

The Retrosic - I love their cold rhythm and melody spiced with a bit growling voice.

Suicide Commando - Especially…

This week I listen to Pendulum Essential Mix. Great intro and music. :) Also the whole Hold Your Colour album appeals to me.

/Me listening to d'n'b. I've gone nuts. :D

I use an account on Last.fm always. My Foobar2k plays music, tidbits of data drip into Audioscrobbler, they're transformed into neat graphs.

I have few real-life friends. Probably you have, too. Isn't it strange, that we have each other in Neighbours? No, it isn't. They use audio player the same as I do. We listen to very similar music. Unique mix of metal, industrial and electronic music - especially goa. Also few other well-known bands, that everyone has in profile.

I'm looking forward to music party - tha Dark Seduction (lovely name, isn't it? :>) set up by my mate, Dakkon. Place: Łódź, Luka Club (Kopernika Street 62). Whole night (9:00 PM till 5:00 AM) with music like (following news) Goth metal, Goth rock, Cold wave, Dark wave, Dark electro, Synth pop, Future pop, EBM, Industrial. Yeah. :>

Lately I was amazed by ebm and electro genres, they're faboo! Synth pop also rocks. IMO this music and goa is what I was looking for. Metal has been boring the arse off…

Today I had a chance to try what my buddies from Neurotic Serenity made so far. I got four metal tracks, but only found three of them interesting (No4 is TFF*). „Ucieczka” (in English „Escape” or „Runaway”, but it ain't official translation) is the most valuable there in my opinion.

They play death with progressive parts I think. Voice is in low quality, but I'm sure they'll find someone to do it better.

What suprised me the most is fact, that according to Audioscobbler's database, 54 people have listened this artist. I don't know how! :)

Johnee told me, that…

Fear Factory - Transgression (unfortunately AS doesn't have it in the database) - this CD sucks, people.

Really, indeed. Only the very first tracks - 540.000 Degrees Fahrenheit and Transgression have some power inside, other are as pale as Eskimo's wee on a snow. Without energy, without idea. Useless piece of crap. In my opinion obviously. :>

The most true and metal song in the world is Puritania. Short, simple but pure as hell.

Listening to simple guitar music is sometimes indispensable for me. More sophisticated bands than crossover and rapcore (I learnt that numetal is kinda different music, very often mixed up with crossover) have lofty lyrics, perfect chords, wooly message and all that stuff.

And here we've got the difference - they cannot compose lyrics about regular life - events in school, at the party, common situations connected with family, friends, girls. That'd not cast in a mould. But simple records - KoRn, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit - they are closer to us that abstract words like misanthropy…

Yeah, Google has launched its new project — still in beta phase, as all tools from them — Google Talk.

Communication is based on Jabber but at this point we can't chat with other servers. Only Google GMail users - because our JID (Jabber Identifier) is our mail address - excellent and easy to remember!

Google Talk's appearance is off da heazy in my opinion. MacOS-look-like interface. Genuine and simple. See its screenshots:

I'll wait to see new features introduced. I hope that this service will help Jabber to overtake IM's world - ICQ and…

Diary of Dreams - I love this group. Excellent message and atmosphere for these, sad and full of reflection, days.

Tracks I like the most of all.

• Butterfly Dance — Yes, indeed! By all means.
• Now This is Human
• Traum:a
• The Curse
• She
• Amok
• …and few more, but I can't recall titles

First two are from „One Of 18 Angels” album, following from „Freak Perfume”.
