much respect to you. I used to have an unhealthy love for music and would use every wake hour to listen to something, finding new bands all the time etc. but somewhere along the road that kinda got lost and now I'm usually sitting comfortably with the same old stuff. rarely getting into new artists these days, which really sucks. but honestly, I find most of the new things I hear rather uninteresting and uninspired. and I've never been one to try to force myself to like something.
this is exactly what i'm trying to avoid.

i never want to reach that point where i think to myself "eh, that's enough", and only listen to the bands i know at that point. i never want to lose that desire to find my next favorite artist.

do you have a last.fm/rym or something? i'd love to make some recommendations to you. i like sharing music with people almost as much as i love finding it myself.

Yeah Velvet, I dropped this a bit, but I used to go visit your O Discordia blogspot regularly, and found so many awesome stuff there...
I never (or it's been too long and I can't remember) properly thank you for that, but you rock brother !

As they say, god speed, and thanks for all the fish...

awesome! the blog is sorta in limbo right now because my mediafire account got shut down. :( so all the links are dead.

i'm in the process of porting everything over to http://o-discordia.tumblr.com/ though. it's like 200 albums i need to upload though, so it's a slow process, and also i'm busy and shit. ;) hopefully i'll have everything up and running by the new year though, in time for my 2012 picks.

So it's time to start making top 10 lists soon i guess. I usually check these and try and listen to stuff i haven't already.

bright lights, big city

I can never narrow any list to 10 though. I think last year I put up like 25-30 haha.

i was going to just do a top 10 this year, but since i started hosting a metal radio show, i kinda gotta do a top 10 metal.

Radio host eh, cool beans. I think a top 10 should be possible. There has to be some releases that separate themselves from the pack.

Velvet Tongue

yeah it's just a small college station with a radius of like 10 miles, but it's a lot of fun all the same. :)

this year has been awesome for music, just like every year.

Well said. I usually discover just as much older stuff as new stuff anyway.

Yeah I've been discovering alot of interesting music I've been taking more of an interest in NZ music and found some real gems but usually the bands I'm finding have done one or two albums then dissolved which is pretty sad

I've tried to list in order of how much i've listened to the albums. So number 1 has been played most.

1. Motorpsycho & Ståle Storløkken - The death defying unicorn
2. Neurosis - Honor found in decay
3. Susanne Sundfør - The silicone veil
4. Earth - Angels of darkness, demons of light II
5. High on Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis
6. Jack White - Blunderbuss
7. Sunswitch - Sunswitch
8. Om - Advaitic songs
9. Scott Kelly / Steve Von Till / Wino - Songs of Townes Van Zandt
10. The Sword - Apocryphon

Velvet Tongue

my top 10 not-metal list is going to be a lot easier to figure out, i only have 13 candidates after the first round of eliminations.

however i have 19 to choose from for the metal list.

this is undoubtedly because i've listened to a ton more metal this year than not-metal.

check out my music journal at www.o-discordia.blogspot.com

only pieces remain

1. Deftones - Koi No Yokan
2. Vision of Disorder - The Cursed Remain Cursed
3. Black Breath - Sentenced to Life
4. Converge - All we Love we Leave Behind
5. OM - Advaitoc Songs
6. Pig Destroyer - Book Burner
7. High on Fire - De Vermis Mysteriis
8. Ihsahn - Eremita
9. Neurosis - Honor Found in Decay
10. Paradise Lost - Tragic Idol
11. Goatwhore - Blood for the Master
12. The Senseless - The Floating World
13. Testament - Dark Roots of Earth
14. Witchcraft - Legend
15. Deathspell Omega - Drought

i left off these because they didn't quite make it:

kataonia - dead end kings
haarp - husks
gojira - infant sausage
the sword - apocryphon
lamb of god - resolution
dying fetus - reign supreme
dragged into sunlight - widowmaker
cattle decapitation - monolith of inhumanity
down - iv
