Aw, just catching up on the forum and it's cool to see that you have been listening to
some Hladno Pivo :) "Ne volim te" is on my list of songs I want to buy. Unfortunately I am way too busy at the moment to commit to the challenge but I'm looking forward to signing up later in the year when I have more time. I am compiling a list of ex-Yugoslav rock bands that I want to try listening to in the hope of expanding my musical tastes slightly. A link which might be worth adding to the resources post is Lyrics Translate. Some of the translations on there are quite primitive but I have found it useful sometimes when I've been really confused with the meaning of certain words in a song and Google Translate hasn't helped. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This week's album is Agalloch - Pale Folklore (8 or 6, depends on who's counting) tracks, a bit
more than 60 minutes length). I was told that they are cool repeatedly by different people, so getting to listen to them was merely a question of time, which I now have loads of. Really, I can go for one album per day challenge haha. Anyway, back to the album: three songs from it are going to end up on my phone. This is not your average case, my phone's SD-card is full of data, I had to delete everything of Dream Theater (still the most- scrobbled band of mine on last.fm!) in order to free some space in September, and soon it was full again with no room for them. Eh... 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This week's album: Tous les garçons et les filles, by Françoise Hardy (1962- French) Also just known by the title Françoise Hardy. I've listened to "Comment te dire adieu ?" (1968) a lot of times, and really enjoyed it, so I thought I'd try another one. It's okay, but disappointing by comparison.
w/b 18 Jan-> album: album: Tous les garçons et les filles, by Françoise Hardy (1962- French)

Wow zomg same here, so much Finnish stuff especially. I hope the unfamiliar stuff in Italian or Swedish is as awesome as what I already know. @Via Diva, about 1 album per day :D you can do the daily song(s) at least. For example, if you listen to three new songs per day on weekdays, one at the weekend and then one more album somewhere along the way, you can cover all three categories :D Or just choose one category for songs. You can use it for albums you're iffy about, so that you could stop anytime. Yay I completed my own challenge :D Jonne Aaron on Thursday Kirosanoja Ravintola suru i was enjoying much more than what i've previously posted, but my dad remarked how it's so pop compared to what i usually listen to XD On Friday I listened to Mägo de Oz but I didn't save links. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Serpent, well, I said that before I started watching The Big Band Theory, dammit...
________ This week's album is Unreal City - Il Paese Del Tramonto. No, I am not picking up Italian yet. It;s just that having literally no success in finding pleasant German-languages prog and having stumbled across some Italian one I had to check if it is any good. And it is. Not enough to get to my phone just yet, but they got my attention. it is prog and it is epic. Well, what else to expect from Italia, which has provided us with a lot of great music I don't even dare to listen or try to understand (I won't decline an offer to hear an opera though). Makes me feel sad though. I mean, why doesn't German have anything like it? Whyyyyy?.. P.S. Don't even remind me about Traumhaus. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This week's album: Holiday in Catatonia, by Jupiter Jones (2009- German) (Revision week, re-hearing an old favourite I haven't listened to in a while). I can't remember how I discovered this album, but it quickly made Jupiter Jones one of my favourite bands. Here's the video of the song that got me interested: Das Jahr in Dem Ich Schlief.
