So, some people complain about the comparisons that Last.fm makes. Well check this out. Here are a few ridiculous comparisons Pandora made. I don't know if they changed them yet or not, but here are a few that I've seen. I'll add more. Feel free to contribute, if you've noticed anything like this on Pandora.

Arch Enemy and Pantera
Atreyu and Rise Against
Bullet For My Valentine and Rise Against
Bullet For My Valentine and Breaking Benjamin
Cradle of Filth and Children of Bodom
Cradle of Filth and Arch Enemy
Dido and Enya
Disturbed and Linkin Park
Emilie Autumn and Within Temptation
Emilie Autumn and Nightwish
Eths and As I Lay Dying
Eths and Atreyu
Evanescence and Seether
Evanescence and Linkin Park
Evanescence and 3 Doors Down
Evanescence and Three Days Grace
Lacuna Coil and Flyleaf
Metallica and Guns N' Roses
Kittie and System of a Down
Kittie and Flyleaf
Metallica and AC/DC
Opeth and In Flames
Otep and System of a Down
Pantera and Rob Zombie
Pantera and Alice in Chains
Pantera and Tool
Twisted Sister and Metallica

A few trends I've noticed:
Many metal bands comapred to Tool and A Perfect Circle
Many melodic death metal or metalcore bands compared to In Flames.
Pretty much every metalcore band comapred to Killswitch Engage, All That Remains or As I Lay Dying
Any nu-metal, and a other types are compared to Slipknot, Korn or Mudvayne
Any female fronted gothic/symphonic is compared to Within Temptation and Nightwish
Most hard rock bands compared to Breaking Benjamin
And thrash metal compared to Metallica or Megadeth
And female fronted pop-country compared to Taylor Swift or Carrie Underwood

I could go on and on...

so as a testament to my never ending hunt for good new music to obsess over, i'm going to listen to every song in this list at least once to see if i like any of it and if this script is worth a shit. will report back over the months as i work through it..

I've taken a look ahead at the new releases for December, and with the exception of the new 30 Seconds to Mars record, we don't have anything to look forward to. So, without further ado, I present my top ten list for 2009.

1. Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect
Everything you could want from a progressive metal record is here, from brutal thrash sections to calm and reflective passages, from throat-killing growls to cool-as-ice croons, from classic rock guitar solos to a piano break pulled straight out of a saloon in the Old West. The braintrust that is Between the Buried and Me knows no boundaries. There's no style these guys won't try, and most of the time they make it work in a way you'd never think possible. Fucking geniuses, these five men are.
2. Neko Case - Middle Cyclone
I am in love with Neko Case. She is, hands down, the best singer/songwriter out there right now. I can't say enough good things about her, and specifically about this latest record. I've probably listened to it at least once a day since it came out way back in the beginning of the year.
3. Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown
This is Green Day's best album yet. They just keep getting better and better. They picked up where American Idiot left off and took it to the next level. Also, their decision to work with Butch Vig instead of going with Rob Cavallo on this record turned out to be a stroke of genius.
4. Thursday - Common Existence
Thursday came back in a big way ten months ago. A lot of people heralded this record as a return to their old sound, and while there is a big Full Collapse influence here, they aren't stuck in the past. I see it as a huge step forward for Thursday.
5. Brand New - Daisy
It seems like all Brand New's old-school fans ditched them when this record came out. No, it's not like anything else they've put out. It's their most raw and emotional record to date. That's what I love about it. There were no limits this time around. They did whatever they felt was right, even if, as Jesse admits, it wasn't the most obvious choice.
6. Silversun Pickups - Swoon
Another band who made significant strides forward with their songwriting this year. Leaps and bounds better than Carnavas, and I like that record quite a bit. "Panic Switch" is one of my favorite songs of the year.
7. Lily Allen - It's Not Me, It's You
Every top ten list needs a cheeky British woman, right? Lily Allen is possibly the best lyricist working in the music business right now. And because she can sing as well, she's not confined to writing for other people. This record never fails to put a smile on my face.
8. Imogen Heap - Ellipse
Best electronica album of the year. She can make an instrument out of anything, including her kitchen sink. I consider her to be a musical genius.
9. Dethklok - Dethalbum II
Brandon Small does a great job of keeping the humor of the show separate from the music. This album on it's own is a stand-out metal record, which is something I think other TV-based spoof acts like Flight of the Conchords have trouble with. You don't need to have seen any episodes of Metalocalypse to enjoy this record. Brandon Small is a hell of a guitarist as well.
10. Dashboard Confessional - Alter The Ending
This album was only released a couple weeks ago, but it snuck onto my list. I'd written Dashboard off when they released Dusk and Summer a few years ago. But this record...it's just a damn good pop record. I don't know how he got to the place in his life where he could write music like this, but I hope he stays there for a while. Because this is the kind of pop music we need on the radio.

Honorable Mentions (Other Records from 2009 You Should Have in Your Collection)
AFI - Crash Love
Atreyu - Congregation of the Damned
Coheed and Cambria - Neverender: A must-have for CoCa fans, especially if you can get your hands on the Children of the Fence box set.
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Outer South
Destry - It Goes On
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity Live: I don't include live albums or EPs on my top ten list, but this record is a must-have for any Jimmy Eat World fan.
Lightning Dust - Infinite Light
The Lonely Island - Incredibad
Placebo - Battle For The Sun
Rihanna - Rated R
Rx Bandits - Mandala
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz

На корицата са Slayer
“Ние винаги ще бъдем Slayer, а вие винаги ще ни харесвате заради това, което правим.” Тези думи на Tom Araya кратко и ясно описват смисъла от съществуването на Slayer. Те са тук просто, за да бъдат Slayer. Те са идеология. Затова и всеки албум на Slayerсам по себе си е достатъчен за нашето пълно задоволство. Затова и World Painted Blood ще върне психопатските усмивки по лицата ни - защото без съмнение това са истинските и неподправени Slayer– така, като трябва да звучат.
