☺ ☺ ☺ Evanescence and Nightwish are Plagiarists ☺ ☺ ☺
30 Apr 2008, 09:32 by Fulvian
Odes of Ecstasy - Embossed Dream in Four Acts (June 1998)

(You can buy this album here)
Evanescence - Evanescence EP (December 1998)

(Do I need to tell You where to get this?)
Well those similar album arts shouldn't be a coincidence, there must be something in common between them, all I can tell is the presence of female vocalists on all those 3 albums, but there should be more...
but more importantly, what the heck is so special in that sleeping angel cover art to be worth plagiarizing?
Opinions are welcome but I would really appreciate some facts.

I really shouldn't be so judgmental but really we all are... at least I admit it. I also HATE when people where the band shirt of the band they are going to see to the concert.

60. What music sub-culture do you feel like you belong to?
"Hippie music scene"
61. What song is stuck in your head right now?
None.
62. Do you sing in the shower?
No. But sometimes I play music on my speakers while I'm in the shower.
63. If so, what? If not, why not?
Probably mainly because I live in a dorm so there's a big bathroom on the hall with lots of showers. So everyone else taking a shower would hear me.
64. Would you rather marry a musician or be one yourself?
Be one myself, but I wouldn't mind marrying someone who could serenade me.
66. How important is your partners taste in music to you?
It's definitely important because I think it says a lot about a person. I could never see myself with someone who only listens to gansta rap as an example. However, they don't have to like the same artists as me... but they gotta have respect for Dylan.
67. Hanson moves in next door to you, do you go introduce yourself, or do you arrange to beat them?
I guess I'd try to be neighborly.
68. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, you dig?
Yep. :)

Sometimes. When I cook.
70. Do you sing in the toilet?
I don't spend much time inside toilets.

☆ ☆ ☆ How to Get Your Weekly Chart Earlier ☆ ☆ ☆
9 Mar 2008, 21:35 by Fulvian
We know that last week was quite a pain because our charts came very late, and I saw quite a lot of people whining about not being able to get their weekly chart on Monday in forums, groups, even complaining to LAST.HQ.
I, myself, quite curious why should the chart be very late as actually the chart data themselves are (always) already available in Audioscrobbler web services on Sunday.
So actually we can get our weekly charts earlier, although it's just raw XML data, but more than enough for a spoiler LOL I know some smart people already know this trick, basically it's this link:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/Fulvian/weeklyartistchart.xml?from=1204459200&to=1205064000
The above link is to get my weekly chart for the week ending on 9 March 2008 (which is, at the time I'm writing this, still unavailable on my page)
How to get Yours
First, just copy the link above and paste it in Your browser address field, replace the text "Fulvian" with Your username, that's it. Note that it's only for this week chart, for future weekly charts, read on...
The link above has 2 parameters, the first one is 1204459200 ("from" parameter) it's the start of the week (Sunday, 12:00 midday in UTC/GMT) in UNIX time format
The second parameter is 1205064000 ("to" parameter), it's the end of the week which is also the start of the next week (also Sunday, 12:00 midday in UTC/GMT) in UNIX time format
What the hell is UNIX time format?
It's basically the time in seconds that has elapsed since January 1, 1970 midnight. There's an online tool to convert time and date to UNIX time and vice versa, it's here
How about the next week?
The full 24x7 week is 604800 seconds long, so to get Your weekly chart on next Sunday, just move the value that was previously in "to" parameter (let's say 1205064000) to the "from" parameter, and add 604800 to that value (1205064000 + 604800 = 1205668800) and place it in the "from" parameter, so the link for next week chart spoiler:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/Fulvian/weeklyartistchart.xml?from=1205064000&to=1205668800
Just do the same for subsequent weeks, every week adds 604800 seconds,
Any question just feel free to ask and stop whining about charts coming late, no system is flawless!!
