sanitarium (welcome home)

STUPID FLU!!! I was supposed to go to ski today. Instead, I woke up with fever and had to stay home... It will end up that I spend 2 years in Norway without going to ski once :(

To fight the bad mood, I slept, worked a bit, skyped [*] a lot and tried to find new music that I like. Of course I failed, on the musical task. Maybe I already know all the bands I could like.

But, at least, I decided that I hate emo (or emo rock, or emo hardcore, or whatever is the correct definition)... And I hate My Chemical Romance (I'd maybe save I'm not OK, but the rest of the songs are crap): they sound too clean and they left no trace in my mind after the end of the songs. Definitely disappointing (compared to the success they seem to have).
If I need something alternative in my playlists I'll keep listening to Gods of Blitz (The Rising [**]) and Metric (Monster Hospital). No need of additional bad songs in my ears.

After dinner I'll listen a bit of 30 seconds to Mars, but I don't have expectations... we'll see.


UPDATE: I was right. 30STM aren't that better than MCR... They can at least play good here and there (e.g. the beginning of The Kill and of Capricorn), but as a whole thy're nothing special to me. thumbs down. Anyway I came to few conclusions about new young bands: you cannot sell a lot of discs if you don't:
  1. have a stupid hair fringe,
  2. use a touch of eyeliner,
  3. have a name made of many words you can contract in an acronym!


Thanks god, in April we'll have a new record from R.E.M.


[*] which is not a real word yet, but I know that, so I keep using it for pleasure
[**] which I discovered on Flux, the very good MTV spin-off which now has changed in qoob, losing the alternative/electronic music part (now only present in MTV Brand New). R.I.P. Flux: you lasted few months, but I won't forget you!
