"Agree or disagree with me but as the digital age of music comes ripping in I find myself missing the art. I miss holding the record, I miss reading every single lyric printed and every name on the thanks list.

Paper and plastick started for the bands that still love visual art to go with the music they put out and for the artists that use their creative energy to produce a backdrop of art for record covers, tshirts, screen printed posters and every other facet of a band visually besidesthe music." - Vinnie (Less Than Jake)

As it's getting colder and colder in NZ (winter is finally here) the MP3 gods decided to throw in some Xmas songs. HAHA.... Fun to hear but wrong time of year dudes.

Another relaxing Saturday.... Coffee, dark chocolate (the new Tony's is awesome) and heaps of music to create a new musical horoscope. It's always amazing to see how faith picks the right songs to match your mood or the things that are happening in your life.

1. Touched by the stars - Whispering Gallery

Long time no musical horoscope... So here's my MP3 player's selection of Saturday 14 April, also called the day after the big unlucky day or just a relaxing Saturday.

1. She is my sin (live) - Nightwish
2. Closer - Nine Inch Nails
3. Time beyond time - Ayreon
4. This time of year - Mighty Mighty Bostones
5. Zoet en zacht - Van Dik Hout
6. Blue moon - Less Than Jake
7. The nurse who loved me - A Perfect Circle
8. Confusion - The Gathering
9. Water en vuur - Van Dik Hout
10. Heaven is a place on earth - Belinda Carlisle

And again I'm reminded to get rid of the 80s crap that I once downloaded onto the player and totally forgot about... Until a musical horoscope comes along. :-)

A musical horoscope on a different day. Weird. :-) I hate being predictable so it isn't that strange. This is a very special music selection, made on a day I received very very special and happy news. Level 1 of my road to NZ is cleared, a job is secured. But not just a job... A very cool job. So I hope my hapiness was beamed into my MP3 player... Take a look at this list and judge for yourself. Enjoy.

1. Baksteen & het water (live) - Van Dik Hout
2. Get through - Ozzy Osbourne
3. Eléanor - The Gathering
4. Greased lightning - Less Than Jake
5. Kill the king (live) - Rainbow
6. Haunted - Stream of Passion
7. Have a cigar (live '77) - Pink Floyd
8. Have a cigar (live '69) - Pink Floyd
9. Head trip - Sevendust
10. Headfirst for Halos (live) - My Chemical Romance

Two things I noticed.... WTF is Ozzy doing in my MP3 player???? Second, does Philips create players with a strong preference for Pink Floyd bootlegs? Not that I mind... But twice the same song (although different versions) might be a bit too much. :-)

A new Sunday so time for a new musical horoscope....

1. Summer lovin' - Less Than Jake
2. Another night alone - SR-71
3. Ice queen (accoustic) - Within Tempation
4. The coven (the witch in me, part 2) - Autumn
5. Shrink - The Gathering
6. Locked away (live) - The Gathering
7. Beauty school dropout - Less Than Jake
8. Breathe - Days in Grief
9. Calliopeia - Stream of Passion
10. The last Christmas - Emery

Try it yourself, it's fun... Just shuffle your MP3 collection.
