Hmm, many many different things. Today it was one I haven't listened to in ages - Nine Inch NailsThe Fragile . But lately it's also been various Primus , The Tragically Hip , Dance Mix '95 ...basically a lot of stuff on shuffle.
4. What was the last show you attended?
Funnily enough it was Three Days Grace with The Used & Default last week. I'm not even really a fan of any of those bands enough to buy a ticket to see them. ESPECIALLY not The Used. I actually can't even stand *those* guys. I managed to get free tickets so I went, though I missed Default. But I will say Three Days Grace is very good live. Talented dudes. & The Used's band is good... too bad that Bert moron ruins everything with his shitty stage presence (or lack thereof) and shitty attitude, along with shitty idiotic one-liners.
Other shows this year so far were Mindless Self Indulgence , The Pack A.D. , Atmosphere , Grady , k-os , SNFU , The Watchmen , Stone Temple Pilots , Our Lady Peace , DL Incognito with D-Sisive (booked that show myself... whole other long ridiculous story to go with THAT one.) , The Tragically Hip , Left Spine Down (opened for them on 2 fall tour dates with Alectrona) Matthew Good , and lots of smaller shows. Also opened for Die Mannequin with The Alcohollys . Whoo, that was a mouth full.
5. What was the greatest show you've ever been to?
Damn, I'd still have to say first Korn show, all 3 Beastie Boys shows, and Foo Fighters actually blew me *away*. Absolutely amazing live show, so much energy, Dave is one solar flare of a dude! OH SHIT WAIT! I must remember Oasis !! I saw them at this infamous show , including the "Noel gets shoved" part of it. Aside from that, it was an AMAZING show. First time I've seen Oasis and it kicked ass. This next one I want to note was People Under the Stairs . Good good good. Check em out if you haven't yet. Also Alanis Morissette as a notably good show. She can belt it out, I tells ya. Aaaaaand Slipknot back in April 2000. Intense.
WHOA! ONE MORE I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT! Weezer !!
I was so impressed by their show, saw them in September 2008 at the ACC in Toronto. Got front row on floor, and couldn't believe how into it Rivers actually was. I had a feeling he'd act burnt out or be a bit stand-offish, but he was very talkative with the crowd and he seemed genuinely happy to be on stage. Plus they played about a 2 hour set, maybe a bit longer. Very happy I got to see them. Very.
6. What's the worst show you've ever been to?
Haha, it's hard to say.... that Alexisonfire show was still pretty bad. But I forgot about a Godhead show I saw way back in the day. I was up front and all I could smell was baby powder flying off their faces from them trying to look gothically white. As far as recently, The Used were pretty bad. Well, like I said, it was just Bert that was bad.
7. What's the most musically involved you have ever been?
I still dunno what kind of answer is expected here... I guess it's open to interpretation. But for now I'll say I play instruments (solo and in bands) and I *would* infact most likely go literally insane if I didn't have music. People throw that sentence around a lot ("Oh I'd DIE without music!") but I don't think most of them really understand what that means. I'll leave it at that.
8. What show are you looking forward to?
"Hmm, I'd love to see Beastie Boys again, but for now, it's The Tragically Hip and possibly Slayer." - haha, that was my answer 3 years ago.
It's still Beastie Boys and this time I have a ticket for Slayer with Megadeth and Testament. Sweet. I'm also looking forward to the New Years Eve show my band The Alcohollys is playing at Call The Office. No event made on LastFM for it yet, but here's the Facebook one for it.
10. What is your favorite band shirt?
Haha, still too many to name. Even more now than last time, hah.
11. What musician would you like to hang out with for a day?
Shit. WAY too many to name now.
12. Who is one musician or group you wish would make a comeback?
"Not so much a comeback, but someone I would have liked to see back when they were kickin around originally would definately be The Beatles, The Verve, Pantera, Stone Temple Pilots, The Pharcyde (back in their old days), Rage Against the Machine ... tons more." - answer from 3 years ago.
Since then I've got to actually see Stone Temple Pilots , The Pharcyde , and Rage Against the Machine reunite! Drove 9 and a half hours for the Rage one to NYC. Was the Rock The Bells 2007 show. Fucking awesome. There's so many more comebacks and old bands I'd love to see still. I can't pin down just a few. Lunachicks would for sure be one.
19. What was your last musical "phase" before you wisened up?
"I like too many things to fit in anywhere even if I tried." - Same answer.
Aw yeeeeah.
20. What's your "guilty pleasure" that you hate to admit liking?
"There's nothing I won't admit!!" - Same answer again.
Even moreso than back then, I'd bet. ;)
First, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 8 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 9 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 160 represents an extremely varied one.
I did this for the Top 40 of the 1990s but I couldn't seem to narrow it down to 40 this time around! I tried to be even-handed in terms of spreading the songs around by year but it just seems that I listened to more (and better?) music in the last half of the decade. So without further ado, here is my list. Enjoy!
Antes de tudo já aviso que nem sei quem inventou isso, mas já vi em alguns profiles e resolvi fazer também. Na verdade foi um incentivo pra eu postar aqui no Blog, acredito que farei isso sempre de agora em diante.
Espero que gostem!
1. Como você conheceu 29? New Years Day: Recomendações aqui do last mesmo, diz ser parecido com Paramore, Hey Monday e bandas do tipo.

13. Qual é seu integrante favorito de 1? Avril Lavigne: Haha, ela é cantora solo e minha favorita. Apesar das merdinhas que faz as vezes, significa muito pra mim e não é a toa que ta em primeiro lugar da minha lista e acredito que sempre vai estar.

It's now the end of Season 1, and we've seen six artists relegated, meaning they are dropped from the league system. This means we need six new artists to replace them!
So, in this thread, please post your favourite six bands that meet the following criteria:
1) Are a rock artist. This is defined as an artist that plays a style of music incorporated into the rock genre.
This can be pop/rock, alternative rock, punk-rock, all forms of metal, acoustic rock (as an addition). This does not include standard pop such as girl bands, this does also not include stuff like electronica, although there may be exceptions, I will judge each case individually. If I am unsure as to whether an artist is a rock artist or not, I will use the Last.fm tags as my guide.
2) Are Canadian. This is defined as originating from Canada.
Originating is defined as:
a) The artist or all or some members of the band of which the artist is comprised was born in Canada, as is the case with the majority of the bands in the competition.
b) The artist was formed in Canada.
c) The artist was formed elsewhere, but before striking a record deal and producing its first solid release, became based in the Canada.
3) Did not already participate in the league in the last season. This means artists relegated this season.
In basic terms, please choose your six bands, and check the following list to see if they are there. If they are, then they are not eligible to be voted for in this thread and you need to choose new ones.
4) Your band isn't in another country's rock artist league. This can happen where a band has multiple nationalities. Please check the leagues of the other nationalities of the band to see if they are in those bands.
If your chosen artists do not meet these criteria, I will endeavour to inform you of this by shoutbox message or personal message, but ultimately you should try to meet these criteria to save us both the hassle.
I will endeavour to update the vote counts as time progresses, however I'm making no promises due to time restraints. The best 2 bands of each genre (metal, punk and rock), wich are receiving the most votes will qualify.
The deadline for this vote is the end of June. So, the 16th of January at 5pm (UTC). This is subject to change (change is most likely to be extention however).
Please note that I do intend to, at some point, advertise this thread out across Last.fm to bring in new users. If you would like to get your favourite artists voted, perhaps you should bring in other users who like that artist to vote for them? ;)
If I've missed anything out, I shall edit this thread, and post what changes I made additionally as a new post in this thread.
Please use this thread for voting purposes only, if you would like to discuss what is going on, please use the group's shoutbox.
If you want to change anything in your post make a new one and leave the old where it is, thx.
