… that I am mega bored. OMG study leave and exams are so flipping numbing. And transfer programs fucking suck balls. "Hi, I am trying to obtain a Master's degree in Film Studies. WHY THE HELL DO I NOT HAVE ANY COURSES ABOUT FILMS??!!"

Now that I got that off my chest, the other things I have to mention are as follows:

1. Metallica obsession is back. This time I am focusing on Kill 'em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice For All and The Black Album. AJFO has MAJORLY grown on me this time around. I…

Just when I thought Metallica had been the last of my 'big obsessions', along comes the nicest guy in rock. Hi, Dave.

Okay, I'm not at all new with Foo Fighters, my older sisters all used to love this band. I clearly remember one of them majorly crushing over Dave. I wanted to be cool so I usually pretended to like the stuff they listened to. Ironically, at this point in life I genuinely like most of that music. Back then I liked some bands, but definitely not all. Still, without my sisters I would never have listened to bands…

so I just finished my semester exams. Days and days and days of endless stress, nervous panicky laughter, coffee and energy drinks. Did you know coca cola produces an energy drink called Nalu, only in Belgium and Luxembourg? You do now. Anyway, exams this year were a bit different musically. I usually take up some odd obsession mid-December (remember HIM? that was some crazy shit, I still don't know how I managed to listen to them 3000+ times in just six weeks), and then stick with it for at least a month or so after exams have ended.
This year…

And we all know that means I can't but crack open a bottle of pop (music).

Hi, Jonas Brothers? I know we will never have the vigorous listening schedule from last year again, but I'm still not too old to listen to yer young innocent nasal voices yammering on about loves you've all never had. Countless times have I laughed at your youtube videos, as I will upon seeing them again. Oh, and Camp Rock II? Consider it done, me lads.

I might even find the time to dig up some of your Disney friends, depending on the amount of…

Metallica, the favourites

Note: Out of fear of extreme disappointment I haven't listened to St Anger ever. I might one day, but for now I would like to keep my extremely high respect for these men. So I'm not coming near this dreaded album until someone convinces me with well underbuilt arguments I will still be able to look at James Hetfield with the same admiration.

Enough with the yapping already, here is the list. All albums included except the one previously mentioned. No order of preference.

1 Fuel
2 Bad Seed
3 Attitude
4 Of Wolf and Men
5…

I just found out a new HIM album is on the way. That also means a new obsession is on the way. I'm just going to have to accept it; HIM is never leaving the number one spot.

HOW ON EARTH did it happen that I got so involved with a mediocre band? I actually know they're not that good, yet so addictive.

They're a bit like alcohol, in a way.

Plus, could Ville get any skinnier? He's about to disappear anytime now. And starting to look like Brandon Boyd, who is equally on the verge of becoming see through.…

"A little too mainstream… but still a nice track" is probably the LAMEST ATTITUDE TOWARDS MUSIC EVER.

Gah it pisses me off tremendously. If you like it, you like it. WHO THE FUCK cares if the song's in the charts or not? It's not a crime to like music in the mainstream circuit and it certainly isn't the end of good music if over 0.0000002581% of the population has heard of your favourite 'underground' band.

Thanks.

Jonas Brothers: The Favourites

As always, not in any order, although the first five are probably my favourites of the favourites :)

1 Love Is On Its Way - I'm not planning on commenting on each song, but I think this one is amazing. Even if I hadn't been in my pop phase, I would have loved it. If that's the way they're going, I'm happy. Also, some of the video was filmed in Central Park exactly where Anthony and I sat, the first day we were in…

Pop phase is back, woohoo.

Oh, and word vomit.

In my experience, lots of people who bash pop music either don't understand it, never actually listen to it, or are in denial. I went through a phase in which I was afraid to admit my love for the genre, too, because somehow it inmediately means you're also superficial and lazy (music wise), but I've come to terms with it. I know exactly why I'm so fond of it. It's easy, instant gratification, and there's nothing more fun than singing along to corny lyrics and nice melodies. So there. Now, if…
