I'm really bored, and procrastination is big, so… Take the number of songs you have "scrobbled" and multiply it by the average time on your songs (mine is 5 mins 47 seconds… x5.77 aprox). I guess that, as I do, you listen to music in your ipod very often, especially when you're at class and you don't find it interesting ;), but let's ignore that number for now :)

Now, make the sum of the days you have been "scrobbling", ignore if you used a program like… I dunno, Media Jukebox, that isn't able of scrobbling, and then, the number…

Every artist I check, there's an eclectic test. As if that said if you have an open mind with music or you're just a fanatic of your genres.

First of all, I believe there's nothing wrong with liking only a single genre. I mean, if you only like hip-hop (which I dislike), that's fine, it's what you like. I believe it's better to know more music and thus, listen to many artists (even if all are from hip-hop). So, by now, one doesn't see what's wrong with the eclectic taste.

But what about the people that listen to really crappy…

Honestly, when I moved to linux, the first thing I missed was iTunes. I used Amarok for a long time, I tried Exaile!, among many others (all the classically recommended) except for Rythmbox. Maybe it was because I was used to Windows, in which the software which was already there sucked most of times (IE, WMP, etc.).

After the update to Ubuntu Feisty (I just updated today) I honestly think Rythmbox finally has reached a very good status to the point that I prefer it to any other media player. It's written in C, so it's faster and has as…

Acid Rain. I'm just addicted to it. Ever since I got addicted to Ayreon's Day five: Voices, I hadn't listened so much to a single song.

Oh well, this better stops soon, because after the addiction usually comes a short hate of the song and then I like it again, which makes it all strange :S.

It's just how weird I am… or maybe I'm not that weird? I dunno.

Everytime I see artists like the mexican RBD or the senseless reggaeton with it's increasing popularity, I complain as hard as I can. Damn, I can really rant on it.

Everyone in my family start telling me that it shouldn't affect me, that if I don't like that I can just ignore it and be tolerant.

Tolerant my nuts. If I can't stand it, it's for a good reason.

They are sold out. They don't care for music, They don't make music and they have no idea about what it is to be a real artist. I'm not an artist…

First of all, I'm the only metal head in my house. Nobody else can stand Lamb of God, Dream Theater, Ayreon, Devin Townsend or Symphony X, as well as almost everything else related.

About 6-8 years ago, I listened to Eminem (who I still respect for his motivations on music), Backstreet Boys and all the crappy-pop folks. By that time, my oldest brother started to listen to more rock-like music. The closest thing to rock I had heard before that, were Maná, a mexican "rock" band, which used to be good.

The thing is, my…

So, today I decided I should look up at the bands I listen too. I started to look… Iron Maiden, Ayreon, etc.

"Where's Neal Morse? I've been listening to it a lot lately"

After I did a better search and find I only have 29 plays, I realize that songs from Neal Morse last about 20 minutes each. And my favorite (The Door) lasts over 29 minutes.

I don't really care about having more or less tracks played… after all, I hadn't seen until today the fact I beat 20k tracks some time ago. What I care…

After a long time, Thaumasia releases new songs.

It's not for advertising, but Thaumasia is formed by one person who performs all instruments and does… everything. Is an imaginary band from a friend, but I must say his music (progressive rock, puts lof of techno on it) is very original and I like it, but it had been lots of months since he didn't make any music.

I will guess you don't really care about my friend's music, but it's kinda fascinating to see how one almost forgets about a band when it doesn't release anything new for a long…

I can't believe how many people react in such a rude way against the popular iPods. I know, lot of people that don't even care about music buy them just because it's fashionable, but there a millions of others (like me, I said it, happy?) that use it and need it.

Personally, my computer is good, it's fast, but with no RAM, running iTunes or almost any media player makes it unstable while being on it. Thus, I connect my iPod to my stereo system (two buffers and a few other things… works fine!) and I save RAM from my…
