funny you should say that. apparently atm (I don't know why) my country is experiencing a banana shortage (yes, I heard it in the news, more than once). a damn shame, as yes, a banana is a great thing IMO

13:33 - RaduP
Nobody has said anything in the last 5 hours. Ok! My time to shine! Umm ... does anybody here like ... umm ... bananas?

08:24 - ScreamingSteelUS
Sweet.

Just got my tickets for the Decibel Magazine tour! :D

My top choice was Persefone's "Spiritual Migration." Next was In Vain's new album, and after that I couldn't decide between Amon Amarth and Children of Bodom. Omnium Gatherum's I liked.

06:31 - AngelofDeth
also think it was the fact that not much else came out that was good. Beyond is Omnium's best yet so I gave my vote to them but damn it still not that great an album

My problem goes down to individual albums where songs blur into one tedious dirge
