last.fm and the stuff in my pants

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Now, if that subject doesn’t make you want to run away screaming, you’re a sick, sick person.

Anyway, allow me to explain. last.fm is a 100% free internet radio station that actually plays music that it predicts you will like, based on what you already have listened to. Very clever and highly recommended. I have discovered more new bands that I could possibly count based on their recommendations.

Allright, moving on. About my pants, in the last.fm community, there has been an incredibly silly game going on there for a while. The rules are simple:
- Play 25 random songs from your collection
- Add the words "in my pants" to the song titles
- Mark the best ones with bold
- Post the results in your last.fm journal

How could I possibly resist?

Here is my contribution:

Swallow the Sun - Don’t Fall Asleep in my pants
Kamelot - Center of the Universe in my pants
Trivium - Dying in Your Arms in my pants
Dimmu Borgir - Dreamside Dominions in my pants
In Flames - Worlds Within the Margins in my pants
Dark Lunacy - Now is Forever in my pants
Swallow the Sun - Too Cold of Tears in my pants
Opeth - Death Whispered a Lullaby in my pants
Kamelot - Serenade in my pants
Samael - Reign of Light in my pants
Norther - Death Unlimited in my pants
Graveworm - Dreaming into Reality in my pants
Dimmu Borgir - Blood Hunger Doctrine in my pants
Communic - Frozen Asleep in the Park in my pants
Sirenia - Save me from Myself in my pants
Searing Meadow - Infamous Lines in my pants
Satyricon - Delirium in my pants
Pain - Play Dead in my pants
Process Of Guilt - Motionless in my pants
In Flames - Food for the Gods in my pants
Shape of Despair - Angels of Distress in my pants
Trail of Tears - As it Penetrates in my pants
Tristania - Pale Enchantress in my pants
Swallow the Sun - The Giant in my pants
Blind Guardian - War of Wrath in my pants

Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone if you accidentally snicker at any of these titles. It will be our little secret.

Biannual update

Wow, I really suck at this blogging business, don’t I?

Anyway, here is today’s random selection of brain lint.

On new year’s eve I proposed to Linda, and the crazy wench accepted! We’re doomed! Aaah!! (I’m joking, dear. Ow. Stop. OW!)

Red wine and my recently acquired movie quiz book go together like … two things that go together really well. Especially the red wine. That goes together exceptionally well. (Certainly better than the beer I had last weekend, when we celebrated Michael’s (a friend of ours) 30th birthday, which brought me a insaneously hidderous headache, despite only consuming a few of them.) The quiz book was a great bargain, too. It cost me NOK 10.00 (approx EUR 1.25), and it contains 1800 questions (most of them pretty hard), and hopefully the same number of answers. We’re working on finding out.

In more technical news, I’m hoping to have fibre (FTTH) pulled through my wall soon - as in a few weeks. After moving to Karmøy, my ADSL has acted up quite a bit, dropping the connection every Nth minute, but only staying offline for 30 seconds or so. Enough to be annoying, nonetheless.

Music! I have discovered Dark Lunacy, a great melodic death metal band from Italy. Great stuff. Also, only a few more weeks until the Karmøygeddon Metal Festival kicks off, under which I plan to see Kamelot, Scar Symmetry and Communic. (May 5th on Byscenen, for those who may be interested.)

And I need more disk space.
