Yeah, today is the birth day and I've already got one year. I mean, one year on last.fm! Time's running up so fast...

So let's see - what happened in this year? On my last.fm's account, I mean...
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2307/97539002.png
Today I've got 27 333 plays and it makes 75 tracks per day (and unfortunately it's still declining - where is my time for music? :(). There are 394 artists in my library and... who is first? I know, that you know it, so say it! Yes, it's my beloved alt rock band Placebo! Check it out.
01. Placebo - 10 624 plays
02. Muse - 1 327 plays
03. The Veils - 877 plays
04. The Shins - 742 plays
05. MGMT - 601 plays
06. Travis - 576 plays
07. Patrick Wolf - 509 plays
08. David Bowie - 470 plays
09. Kasabian - 418 plays
10. R.E.M. - 377 plays

And now I think it's time to present my tags. indie definitely rocks, but rock, indie rock (feel the difference!) and alternative also hold themselves well.

Tue 29 Sep – Placebo

La experiencia de un concierto está directamente ligada a las circunstancias en las que se encuentra uno antes, durante y después del mismo. Igual que las recomendaciones para incendios y para terremotos, existe una serie de preceptos e instrucciones que es necesario seguir dependiendo de la situación.

Siendo un simple mortal con influencias limitadas, intenté conseguir boletos del modo más sencillo: Facebook. Sin embargo, debido a que tengo serios problemas de atención y soy malísimo para responder preguntas (y de igual modo mi capacidad de búsqueda está limitada a encontrar las primeras respuestas) no conseguí boletos de pista para el concierto. A pesar de que se suponía que iba a tener boletos buenos por una amiga, al final por circunstancias mala onda no me los dieron, y solo conseguí boletos de gradas.

Las gradas no son tan malas. Digo, sin considerar el hecho de que las sillas son pequeñísimas (posiblemente diseñadas para gente muy chiquita)…

ROCK AM RING Festival 2009 - REVIEW

Thursday:

We arrived at thursday at Rock am Ring and found a place for our tents on B2a - the clocest camping site to the festival area :P On thursday there was the Ringrocker.com Warm Up Party and we went to see:

Edge of Thorns: boring because I hate metal music

Mambo Kurt: weird but funny but it's not really music

Friday:

Expatriate: was ok.

Scouting for Girls: Very good. Highlight: "Keep On Walking"

Juliette Lewis: very nice. she is very powerful and entertaining. good voice.

Selig: first highlight of the festival. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Very good quality music and they showed nice art videos to the music on stage. Also a very nice atmosphere in the audience. Highlights: "Sie hat geschrien"

Razorlight: It was the forth time I've seen them live (always by happenstance). Not as annoying as they used to be on the "Ode To Ochrasy Tour" with Mando Diao in 2006 but still quite boring.

Siesta!

Wow, how to review this awesome night, there are really no words.

We (me, my bf and my daughter) arrived at 3.30 pm and walked straight towards the sound of music, which was coming from the Playa stage. We were festival hungry and wanted to dive into the Siesta! spirit right away. The first band we enjoyed was Expatriate from Australia. The perfect opening for us, pure rock 'n' roll from the heart. Funny thing, the singer looked alot like another famous australian lead singer, the late Michael Hutchence from INXS.

Next up was the Swedish band Wrestling With Angels, performing indoors on the Casa stage. Awesome sound, especially the instrumental crescendos that actually made me consider wearing earplugs. Not that it was bad, but sure as hell noisy. And as I said before, awesome. Thanks for a great gig guys!

After that we browsed through the four stages waiting for Adiam Dymott. Listened to the soundcheck which gave us a hint of what what was coming. It's amazing how much sound can come out of this petit girl. …
