Copied from someone who probably copied it from someone else. As usual.

I won't say that the lyrics is what matters the most to me in a song because that wouldn't be completely true. After all, I listen to songs in Greek, Arabic, German, among others, and I understand very little or nothing in these languages. But lyrics DO count a lot when I can understand them.
Sometimes I really like a song but am unable to make all the lyrics out, so I go find it and when I read it some of that passion dies a little because the lyrics aren't that great. The other way around is possible too,…

Getting around to write about another album by one of my favorite bands, now it's Exile on Mainstream's turn, Matchbox Twenty latest album.
With 11 hits and 6 new songs, the album is quite emblematic. Knowing about how Matchbox almost ceased to exist due to the band members falling apart, one can understand better Matchbox's death and ressurrection in this album.

From the six new songs, I have three favorites:
The first track, How Far We've Come, is the perfect opening for this album and also perfect to be the "promotional song" for it. One not very acquainted…

I got to (finally) listen to Negramaro's latest album, La Finestra, and I believe it's very good. I thought all songs are 'listenable', that meaning I didn't feel the urge to skip any of the tracks, which sometimes happens to me.

Two of the tracks caught my attention: Cade La Pioggia, a beautiful song with a somewhat sad sound, and then I read the lyrics and it got even sadder. I specially like this bit of the lyrics: "Dimmi a che serve restare lontano in silenzio a guardare la nostra passione che muore in un angolo…

My computer was broken for about two weeks and that prevented me from listening to all the music I have in it, plus my CDs 'cause I took my stereo out of my room since I wasn't using it anymore.
I was going insane already! Everytime I felt like listening to something I remembered I couldn't. Really, it felt like some part of me was missing!
Thank goodness I fixed the computer and now I can listen to everything again.
I definitely can't live without music.

The idea is to see how varied your taste is, a score of 9 is extremely unvaried while 160 represents an extremely varied one.

Oh yes, what other reason could there be for me to be taking this survey again besides sheer boredom?

The idea is to go to the page of your number one artist, and follow the link of it's number one similar artist, then repeating that for this artist and so on, noting down each artist as you go. Do this until you've got to 50 artists (not including your number one). If you get any repeats, just go to the second similar artist or the nearest one that you haven't already had.

01. Fall Out Boy

So, I was just thinking about a friend of mine and I talking about songs we misunderstood the lyrics. I remember that what got us into this conversation was the fact that I was so very sure that Photograph said "I went to prison and they fixed me up" instead of "I think the present owner fixed it up".
Just the other day I happened to find this journal mentioning something similar about This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race. That one I didn't even understand half the lyrics, so if I didn't know the name of…

Sometime ago I read that Disenchanted was the next single out of The Black Parade and I was so very pleased with it because, if you haven't noticed from my charts, that's my favourite song at the moment.

However, recently I found out that, contrariwise what was said before, the next single WON'T be Disenchanted but I Don't Love You. OK, I Don't Love You is quite a nice song, but I can see the label choosing this one especially because it has the word 'love' in it and because it's a slow one. Not that Disenchanted is a…
