Diario

Goodbye to 2012, welcome 2013! World didn't end, so let's once again take a look in the past. Here's some statistics of what I've been listening during last year.

Before diving into my top lists, I'll take a guess that Mokoma and Rush will be on very high positions on these lists, as they both released new albums. But enough guessing, let's begin, shall we?



My top 10 bands/artists of the past 12 months according to Last.fm:
1. Mastodon (915 tracks played)
2. Mokoma (894 plays)
3. Rush (734)
4. Metallica (605)
5. Iron Maiden (544)
6. CMX (542)
7. Bruce Dickinson (391)
8. Kylesa (352)
9. Guns N' Roses (312)
10. Korn (311)

Well, Mastodon tops both Mokoma and Rush. Which I think is because they were on tour and had a couple of gigs in Finland. I saw them all, of course.

Basicly this top list looks about the same as my top 10 of all time. With the exception of Kylesa, who also came to Finland.



Then my top 10 artists according to normalisr (which counts the minutes spent listening to each artirts…

Thu 5 Apr – Kotiteollisuus

Probably the northernmost gig I'll ever attend, about 170 km north of the Arctic Circle.

It was certainly an interesting experience. A few friends and I were on a road trip in Scandinavia culminating with a three-night stay in Lapland, and we wanted to take the opportunity to see a concert among other things, since Finland is a country with the highest per-capita concentration of metal bands in the world. But, we picked a time when there weren't any majorly interesting bands playing in any of the cities we wanted to visit. Two of my friends are quite into Kotiteollisuus, though, and after browsing through their discography for about a month, I figured I might give it a try as well. So, on the third day of our stay in the region, three of us went - me, another guy, and the girl who got us into it. (As a bonus, our residence was about a two hours' drive from the venue - not that short a distance for a Central European guy…
