Vote on! Voting will probably end after about 10-15 votes…depending on how quick they come.

Hey so yeah I figured I would join the masses and do one of these things, mostly because I'm curious. This is sort of made up of my top 32, with some random exceptions. I really have no idea who will win this thing, so I leave it to you all…because my taste is terrible.

Three points to the best band in the group, one point to the second best…yeah, I'm sure you all know how it works. For tiebreakers, I'll just flip a coin or something.

Group stage ends Friday(or Saturday if i'm suitably out of it on Friday),…

However, I do know that I'm kinda digging the new sounds from Muse, with the latest single, Supermassive Black Hole. It does sound quite a bit different from previous efforts(which is exactly what Matt said it would be), and it took a few listens for it to grow on me.

Now, I note that it doesn't have the usual insane guitar solos that normally come with Muse singles…but I'm sure the rest of the album will make up for that. I heard a garbage quality live version of another track off of the album (Knights of Cydonia…

Did weekly charts disappear…or is it just me?

When I click on the weekly link…it sends me to overall…

I SMELL CONSPIRACY!

BTW: Thanks to the last two weeks…I now love Nightwish and Juno Reactor. If anyone has some good suggestions (either tracks by aforementioned groups…or random stuff)…I'd love to hear 'em. Attempting to not fail at life without suitable music is boring.

If that made sense, you win.

Well, after a long period of generally ignoring AS/last.fm, I am back…not that anyone should care.

I'm currently debating if I should buy the new Avenged Sevenfold album. I heard the song Bat Country on the radio a few days back, and while it fucking rocks, I'm undecided at the moment.

If I'm willing to spend $18 to get a blue thingy next to my name(although not having the freaking advertisements is nice), I guess I should be willing to spend it buying an album that may or may not suck. If anyone knows if it's any good…let me know.…

Why do I always write these things in the middle of the night?

Why can't bands actually use the best songs off of an album for the singles?

Why can't I go to sleep at a decent time?

Why couldn't Columbus have taken several days to discover this place? Maybe a whole month?

Why do I forget to renew my driver's license?

Well, it was definitely the best concert I have ever been to, period. The opening act, they never even said what their name was…but they kinda sucked anyway, so I really didn't care. Their idea of a guitar solo was "Hmm…guitar…amp…Let's put them both together and make a really loud screeching noise! Hey, everyone hates that! Do it 11 more times in a row!"

Queens of the Stone Age then came out, with Josh clearly drunk, so it had to be good. And it was. They freaking rocked the place, even if most everyone was just waiting for NIN to…

As if I didn't have a serious lack of money to begin with…I bought one of these:

It appears to be pretty rockin' so far…maybe I'll be able to actually play it in a few years.

From the Queens and NIN at Key Arena. Oh yeah.
