  1. Some great suggestions so far. Lots of good music taste around here ;)

    Stricltly speaking, Apocalyptica's music is instrumental, but some of their tracks feature vocalists. (omfg don't even touch their latest album it is trash. stick with the older stuff) Female vocalists they've worked with previously include Sandra Nasic of Guano Apes, Marta Jandova of Die Happy and Manu of Dolly. I haven't been able to get my hands on any of Dolly's music, but I'd definitely recommend Die Happy and Guano Apes to you. Good German alt rock.

  2. Why not start an OC Remix project that reinterprets the winter theme music from various games. It could be a OC video game holiday tribute album! Lots of games have winter music. This could be the most festive OC project yet!

    First of all, Christmas music sounds kinda tacky.

    Second of all, it's not winter world-wide.

    Third and finally- if this goes ahead, good luck. :)

  3. My birthday's before Christmas, and I'm mainly hoping to get the Orange Box. There are a few other games I'd like; they're mostly older ones.

    Other than that, a pair of Sennheiser HD555's or SteelSeries 5v2 gaming headset.

    There are some cds and dvds I'd like, but I'm in no hurry for those. I just reallly want to play Portal and HL2 eps.

  4. Sex icon? How about that ol' European Unmod poster who starred in a certain TV show? >_>

    As for your sex mixtape, smooth trip-hop seems to be the way to go. I'll second Massive Attack/Portishead/etc

    If you're looking for something a bit sexier:

    Muse - Time Is Running Out

    Royksopp - Eple

    Moby - First Cool Hive/I Like to Score

    Midnight Juggernauts - Shadows

    Basement Jaxx - Oh My Gosh

    Garbage - Queer/Only Happy When It Rains/Androgyny/Temptation Waits

    Puretone - Addicted to Bass

    Tiga - You Gonna Want Me

    Daft Punk - Around the World

  5. For playback, I use Winamp. I think I'm still using about v5.3 - I really like the interface and the ability to use plugins for chiptunes and such, but the library search function gets to be a little too slow these days.

    For tagging files, I use Mp3tag. - It's great for tagging all manner of audio files and organising them.

    For ripping, I use Exact Audio Copy and the LAME and FLAC encoders. - Incredibly reliable tool; great quality rips. There's no other way to do things.

    When it comes to video playback, I've got the Combined Community Codec Pack, DivX Player, Nero Showtime, Media Player Classic

    I really dislike iTunes and Windows Media Player... eurgh.

  6. I realize that things like this tend to rub people the wrong way when they just show up one day, without any input being solicited.

    That is really rich. I guess it could be worse, if pixie was the owner of this place and saying it, though.

    Not that anybody still holds a grudge or anything though. You're right, it is your site, so do as you please.

  7. Preparing for and successfully completing my high school music exam.

    I play cello, and hated performing solo (more than anything in the world), but my music teachers encouraged me and helped me along the way- at first I was shaky, but I practised in front of junior classes and finally built up the strength to be confident in the real thing.

    I left that examination room with the biggest grin on my face- one of the best feelings ever.
