So it's the time of the year, when everyone is opening their christmas calendars. I decided to make a playlist which contains songs titled with only the number for each day 'til christmas eve. So on the 1st day I have a song called One, on 2nd day it's song titled Two and so on.

And to make things little more interesting I compiled this playlist using Spotify's search bar and adding songs from artists I have never heard before. Well, actually, I tried to find familiar artists, but because of the limitations to the song titles it was quite hard, so I had to pick up some totally unknown and some artists which I know only by name, but haven't heard any of their songs before.

I'll keep updating this journal each day as days go by and try to write some thoughts about each song. Remember that all these songs are available on Spotify, so if you like you can go and take a listen by yourself.

Okay, so the countdown to christmas starts and here are the songs for each day:

1.12. Korn - One (originally performed by Metallica), from the album Take a Look in the Mirror
Recorded live during MTV ICON: Metallica show, KoRn plays this Metallica classic. Pretty faithful to the original one, only shortened down to MTV standards. KoRn used/uses to play a bit of this during their own live shows.

2.12. Ill Niño - Two, from the album Confession
The first song on my "calendar" that I'm not familiar with. Strong nu-metal presence at the beginning, as yesterday I listened Korn and now this, hehe.
Pretty groovy and melodic song, not bad at all. I might take a closer look at this album later.

3.12. Massive Attack - Three, from the album Protection
Another unheard song. And well, to be honest I haven't missed much. Music is pretty atmospheric, but the female vocals are quite annoying. Artists like Tori Amos or even Björk could have made a song like this with better results. Judging by this song and some other singles I have heard from Massive Attack before, I won't be taking a closer look at them anywhere in the near future.

4.12. Miles Davis - Four, from the album Four
Jazz is one of the few genres that is kinda grey area to me. I appreciate the musicianship and skills of the jazz-musicians, but most of it is just a background "noise" for me. Elevator music. So was this Miles Davis song. When it comes to jazz, I prefer Richard Cheese, hehe.

5.12. Machine Head - Five, from the album The Burning Red
I've heard some tracks from Machine Head before and saw them live last summer. I like them. But this song ain't one of their strongest moments. It's not bad but it's not mindblowing either.

6.12. Chimaira - Six, from the album Resurrection
Intro fools you quite nicely and when the song actually kicks in, it takes a good turn to different approach. Pretty nicely done "math-metal", which at times takes a dive into the pool of cliches, but manages to keep things interesting enough that you'll listen to the whole song. Which is a good quality for a song that lasts almost 10 minutes. I don't like the sound of their singer, but besides that Chimaira sounds pretty good. At least this song.
Oh and happy independence day to my fellow finns!

7.12. Megadeth - Seven, from the album Risk
Ah, good old Dave Mustaine. Although this song is from their weakest album Risk, it's still pretty nice piece of rock 'n' roll. I specially like the ending of this song, when the mood slightly changes and gets this swingy-feeling. Mustaine still rocks even at his weakest.

8.12. Karma to Burn - Eight, from the album Karma to Burn
I've heard some Karma To Burn before, but didn't remember it was this good! Stoner-ish hard rock with kick ass groove. Me likes alot!

9.12. ¡Forward, Russia! - Nine, from the album Give Me a Wall
Now this is a total neverheard for me. The vocals annoy me from the very first second. Jesus Christ Almighty, what is this garbage?! Sounds like a bunch of random chords just whammed out of out-of-tune guitars and then some guy who hasn't reached puperty/mutation yet just screams something on top of it. Yuck, glad that's over with. This song has been the worst one to pop up on my countdown so far. Let's hope there are no bad surprises any more.

10.12. Dept. - 10, from the album X
... Umm, ok. French version of Alexander Rybak? Atleast the singer sounds a bit like him. I honestly can't find anything positive or negative to say about this. I don't have any words at all. Well that I must say that I won't be returning to this album again.

11.12. Primus - Eleven, from the album Sailing the Seas of Cheese
Ahhh, the genius that is Les Claypool and his band Primus. This album is better/best(?) known for the hits Tommy the Cat and Jerry Was a Race Car Driver. This song sounds like insane waltz. Insane in a good way. That's why I love Claypool.

12.12. Twin Method - Twelve, from the album The Volume of Self
Sounds like Linkin Park without rapping and less machines. Not that bad, not that great either. Don't know, other songs might be better, gotta check them out sometime.

13.12. Johnny Cash - Thirteen (originally performed by Danzig), from the album American Recordings
I haven't heard either the original or Cash's version of this song, so after I listened the version by the man in black I had to take a listen of the original by the Morrison of metal. And I have to say that Cash nails this song just like he does with apparently all of his covers (my favourite being NIN song Hurt).

14.12. Hawk Nelson - 14, from the album Smile, It's The End Of The World
Neve heard of these guys before. But this song sounds nice. Pretty ballad, which gets a little repeatitive at the end.

15.12. Taylor Swift - Fifteen, from the album Fearless
Wow, is she really 20 years old? Such a great voice. The song is pretty decend, but I like her voice a lot. No matter what Kanye West says.

16.12. Iggy Pop - Sixteen, from the album Lust For Life
Ah, the legendary Iggy Pop. Nice tune, thou I like his later music more.

17.12. Sex Pistols - Seventeen, from the album Never Mind the Bollocks
Punk in general and specially Sex Pistols is something that I never really got into. I'm more into stuff like Misfits when it comes to that style. But Sex Pistols is still Sex Pistols and this was actually a pretty good song.

18.12. Dokken - Eighteen (originally performed by Alice Cooper, from the album For Those About To Röck
Pretty true to the original Cooper tune. Got to say that Cooper has more feeling in his vocals so I prefer the original one. Fine cover nevertheless.

19.12. Tegan and Sara - Nineteen, from the album The Con
Folk-rock duo, says Spotify's introduction. Sounds more like folk-punk to me. Reminds me of Melissa Auf Der Maur in a way. Not that bad, but not actually my "cup of tea".

20.12. Natalie Imbruglia - Twenty, from the album Come To Life
She does have a sweet voice, yes. And the song ain't that bad either. Background music.

21.12. Annihilator - 21, from the album King of the Kill
Annihilator is a well known name, but somehow I've managed to miss the whole band totally. But this song was good, gotta take a closer look at this album.

22.12. Millencolin - Twenty Two, from the album For Monkeys
Sounds like pretty generic high school punk to me. Heard this million times before. Yawn.

23.12. Jimmy Eat World - 23, from the soundtrack of One Tree Hill
Familiar name, not so familiar music. This song sounds kinda pretty, if they have more songs like this then I should take a closer look of this band.

And the final song is...

24.12. Zacharius Carls Group - 24, from the album Rage In Your Heart
Intro sounds like Tribute. Too bad the rest of the song ain't as good. Still pretty nice song, with not so good lyrics. Nevertheless, I might take a closer look of this album sometime.

There ya have it, all 24 songs of my JukeBox Music Calendar. Happy Holidays!

Alright, as we near the end of this first Y2K decade, it's time to take a look back at all the best Albums that have been released in the last 40+ years.

I'll start off this extensive research with 2000, up until 2009. I'll then go back to 1980, all the way up to 1999, to then wrap things up with the 70s and before.

I'll be choosing my Top 25 Albums for each year; an ordered Top 10, and ~15 others worth mentioning. I'm also considering the live albums and EPs (~5), but they have their own section since songs on these have usually been released on official releases. The final result will be a Top 1000 for Official Albums, and Top ~250 for Live/EP albums.

These are general rankings of how I see them today, and based on my Last.FM songs playcounts (2005-now) put through the formula:

Total Sum of each Album's Song's (running time X playcount)
DIVIDED BY
Album's Total Running Time

Thanks to MediaMonkey and its amazing scripting abilities, that formula gives an Album's REAL playcount, taking into consideration every song's lenght & playcount in relation to the overall album's lenght and # of songs on it.
You'll see the result (# of times I've really listened to an album since 2005) besides each, along with my 10* Rating. (x/x)
Besides each Year, you get the Total of all Albums' Playcounts and the average of all Albums' Ratings. (x / %)

Note that I haven't necessarily discovered and enjoyed all these albums on their released years, some I discovered years later. So these are also based on how important (to me) some of these albums were at the time.

(**) are the complete albums I was into at that time;
(*) are albums that contained only a few song(s) I was into or listened to at that time;
and those without (*) are albums I discovered years later.

Tue 23 Jun – Karma to Burn, Mystic Frequency Worm

El de anoche fue un gran concierto, no sólo por la calidad de las bandas, sino en parte también por lo inesperado.

Karma to Burn se separaron en 2002 tras una trayectoria de tres discos de stoner instrumental: Karma to Burn (1997), Wild Wonderful Purgatory (1999) y Almost Heathen (2001). Este último es considerado una de las obras capitales del denominado stoner rock. Tras un intento de grabar un disco con voz (estuvieron hablando con John García para el proyecto) se separaron cuando Richard Mullins se unió a los Speedealer hasta este año, que se han reunido de nuevo William Mecum (guitarra), Richard Mullins (bajo) y Rob Oswald (batería); a este último le vi el pasado noviembre tocando con Nebula, banda que compagina con Karma to Burn. Para la ocasión han editado un disco en directo (una edición limitida de 250 copias) y actualmente andan recorriendo Europa en una extensa gira con tres fechas en nuestro país. La parada madrileña fue en Ritmo y Compás, donde pudieron desplegar su sonido en todo su esplendor. Un viaje a los primeros años de esta década que se acaba, cuando el stoner estaba en auge.

Tocaron, en este orden, los siguientes temas: 8, 28, 36, 30, 19, 9, 32, 15, 41, 42, 1, 39, 20 y 35. Karma to Burn decidieron poner números a los títulos de las canciones porque uno de los miembros es disléxico y le resultaba más fácil leer los setlist durante los conciertos de este modo.

Sus anfitriones fueron los madrileños Mystic Frequency Worm, a los que vi por cuarta vez y que van mejorando con cada concierto que dan. Han llegado a un nivel realmente envidiable, con un sonido denso y compacto.

Fri 12 Jun – Download Festival 2009

Ah Download, I do love you
This was my third year camping, and 4th year going.
The lineup was getting me very excited, so I was ready to go and very excited

We went up on the Wednesday, and set our tents up early, getting a nice spot in blue. Later we came back with the rest of our stuff and had a struggle to carry all of our drink up. 13 crates, of which 3 weren't booze.
The rain came down slightly later, but it all cleared up on thursday, so take that metcheck weather forcast.

Before the bands there was the usual drinking and cheering. Buttscratcher got very old very fast however.

But soon Friday dawned, and bands were starting.
So we head down to the arena, and the walk wasn't as bad as last year. Distance wise, I don't know, but it was so much easier as it was basically on a path the entire way.

First band we saw was
Hollywood Undead
Now, my immediate reaction to these was 'They're shit', but my friends like them, so I took a chance and watched. Surprising, I thought they were alright. Not good, but not as bad as I thought.


I then took a chance, and saw a band on the 4th stage called
Tripswitch
And they are a right gem. It was brilliant seeing them, and I hope to see more of them in the future. An excellent show


The other good thing about Tripswitch, was I got to miss The Blackout, who I know suck. Next band on were
Staind
Like most people, I had heard exactly 1 song by them, but they surprised me with a nice show, and some decent songs. Worth seeing.


Some more friends turn up and
Billy Talent
come on.
I dislike Billy Talent. A lot. I think I just blocked it out for most of the time.

Killswitch Engage
Adam D came out in a cape and a wrestling mask, and they played a nice set. All the classics, and their cover of Holy Diver. Also Adam D likes his pussy hair, like sushi that had been dropped on a barbershop floor.

Then it was time for the one and only
Limp Bizkit
Opening on Break Stuff, and taking it from there. My Generation, Nookie, Rolling. Everything was there. Some guys up on stage for being awesome, and Fred Durst announcing Take A Look Around as being from their new album? But a great comeback, and a right laugh to see

I pushed further forwards for
Korn
And frankly I was dissappointed. There was practically no crowd interaction, and the songs just didn't seem so good. Maybe I'm just maturing...

Finally it was time for the Headliner
Faith No More
What a show. What a fucking fantastic show. If you weren't there because you were at Motley Crue, as far as I am concerned, you are borderline retarded.
There were a few songs I would've liked to see which weren't there (Get Out for one) but the ones that were there were amazing. Land Of Sunshine, Be Aggressive, Midlife Crisis and of course Epic were all standouts. Despite them being split up for years, the band was as tight as if they hadn't. Definately my band of the weekend.

Woke up the next day ready and refreshed for the Saturday
Being lazy, I didn't get down until somewhat late and my first band was
DevilDriver
Fantastic band. A clear highlight for me. Good songs, and yet another world record attempt for the biggest pit. Although this time, they might have been able to make it. If they do, I was there and in it.

Next on were
Hatebreed
I don't know much about Hatebreed, but they seem like one of those consistent bands who don't ever put on a bad show, but rarely put on a great show. They put on a great show. Sounded quite good from where I was

Next were another band I didn't know much about.
Down
They played well, (I was reliably informed they played brilliantly) and we even met Kirk later in the day

I had some wedges for munch, and then
DragonForce
were on. They played well, even though I know a lot of people don't much care for them. I still enjoyed them but they are starting to grate a little.

Next band I properly watched were
This City
on the 4th stage. I really like these guys, and I wish I'd stayed for the whole set, but my friend was bugging me about getting in the crowd for slipknot, so we saw 4 songs.

And then we saw
Slipknot
Introing with the self titled intro led me to beleive that they were going to do the whole first album. (sic), Eyeless and Wait and Bleed cemented this idea. Then they didn't
After that it became a rather standard set, although I was happy they played Disasterpiece and Left Behind. The songs from the latest album , I don't like so much. Specifically Dead Memories. I wish they'd dropped it at least for this date. Then they could've done Liberate, or maybe even Heretic Anthem (which was a glaring ommision) but all in all, a solid set with solid songs. Pretty sick to watch also

Final day came about, and I realized how few bands I was going to see.
5 it was.

First
Journey
Although I left these guys early. They have some catchy songs, and they have Don't Stop Believin', but thats really all I can say

Next I headed to
Karma to Burn
Whom I was looking forward to seeing. It was pretty pummelling riffs, and even the Wasps (I think) enjoyed it. There was a huge swarm of them. I think they had a circle pit going (the insects that is). Although security was looking a bit worried about them, but they all eventually swarmed off back somewhere else.

Back to the Mainstage for
Dream Theater
A good set, with very few songs due to their length, but the main complaint I have about these guys was James LaBrie's voice. When I saw them in Wolverhampton it was fine, but it just seemed a little off on that particular day. It's a shame, but the instrumentation was up to the usual par, including a nice long version of Metropolis Pt. 1 to finish the set. I also one £1 million on a bet due to them playing a song from the new album. My friend now owes me £16 million.

I saw the start of
ZZ Top
and it was worth watching. Good fun, although they probably kicked in better in the second half, when they played songs I would've known. But I left early to watch my final band
Clutch
Because I love them. Neil Fallon's voice is even stronger live, and it was already impressive on record. These guys were basically my headliner for the day, even though they only had half an hour. By the end of their set I was exhausted and ready to head for home.

After a shower and some food and a sleep, I was ready to sit my maths exam the next day.
It went quite well thanks for asking

Overall, the best download I've camped at yet. They really excelled with their middle of the day mainstage bands, and Faith No More were fantastic

What a weekend, and one I won't forget for a long time.
