Statistics

February 3rd, 2008

Hi there,

a few words about the playlist. I’ve gathered statistics from the last year, and it looks something like this:

6 - Apulanta
5 - Funeral for a Friend
4 - All Time Low, Last Winter & This Day & Age
3 - Acceptance, Deep Insight, Foo Fighters, Further Seems Forever, The Used

So 6 entries for Apulanta, not that big of a surprise. But I’m surprised that FfaF and Acceptance are so high on the list. And where is Metallica?!? Have I abandoned them? The list is not that reliable since I’ve just manually written a part of the records listened that week, so it isn’t scientifically correct. So why even bother trying to analyze? But I guess it gives a rough estimation of the soundwaves I’ve poisoned my ears with.

What else, oh yeah, you don’t want to go to “Levyale”. It’s anything but cheap… I did find some ok deals, but exactly that was the problem. It becomes a bit expensive to buy 8 cd’s and a double-DVD. But as I said, there were a few bargains too, for instance Jimmy Eat World’s new album “Chase This Light” (a really good album I might add) for 5,99 and Bloodpit’s “Off the Hook” for 3,99 just to mention a few.

I was going through some photos, and I found a photo that really compliments me… not. I thought I’ll share it with you, after all, one has to be able to laugh at himself. I have quite a long hair and Jouni has virtually no hair. Hairwise things have changed a bit from those days (this picture was taken last summer at a friend’s farewell party), but not that substantially: I still have too long a hair, but Jouni has managed to get rid of the army hairdo. Definitely album cover art material. Enjoy.

Me at my finest hour.

Lately I’ve been getting into Robbie Williams (not literally though). I read a book about his life and am now half-way through another one and I have to say that he is a pretty interesting and controversial person. He has stated that he merely acts a character called Robbie Williams. And after having done that for something like 15 years, I guess it’s understandable that the line between what’s real and what’s not tend to fade a bit. But yeah, he has got a pile of good songs, he’s a good singer and above all, an exceptional showman. You should read the books even if you don’t like his music, at least it reveals the lyrics in a completely new perspective.

I guess that was all for this weeks episode of “Revealing embarrassing secrets”. Later,

P.S. Jermaine have finally signed a new record deal. Their old company closed its doors for good, and now the band has found a new record label. A new song can be heard in their myspace page (click this). Sounds good, doesn’t it.
