Plymouth appears to be the only place in the UK that isn’t snowed under, and that actually turns out to be lucky for the first date of Alestorm‘s “Useless Drunken Bastards” tour. Now on their third album of pirate themed folky power metal, they are renowned for their party atmosphere at gigs. As it is, everyone loves dressing up as a pirate for some reason, so they’ve managed to build on a niché that is always gonna be successful. Luckily, they can back it up with good song writing skills and…

Tue 1 Apr – Gogol Bordello, Skindred

I think it was for Romania or Baro Faro…I dont know how we sounded! Shook (slapped) hands with most of the bands afterwards as…

Fri 22 Feb – The Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried and Me, Stolen Babies

Stolen Babies = lolerriffic, also I kept getting hit by drumsticks. I THOUGHT they were good.

BTBAM = Not really my sorta shit, also i was dying for a wee, so I ran out 20 minutes into the million minute song.

Dillinger = Well, they were great. I cant lie on my left anymore, and my fists were bleeding from punching, but it was loltastic. Only shit bit was the faggy guitarist doing a crowdsurf for like, one row.

But yeah, it was probably one…

Nah its not really, but I made you look didnt I =) Ah well, first entry, what the hell were you expecting?! I didnt link all those bottom ones mind, cos ill be EVERYWHERE otherwise.

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…
