a.)

7. Incubus - Morning View
8. Muse - The origin of symmetry
9. Tool - Lateralus
10. Anathema - A fine day to exit

b.)
My favourite song? songs that were released this year or what?
well, the songs i mostly listened to were definitely chop suey by system of a down, believe by K's Choice, Clean today by Katatonia, the drugs dont work by the verve, i can buy you by a-camp and island in the sun by weezer. there are a few more songs to which I've listened to in the past quite regularly, but the ones mentioned above are above all...

c.)
Well, definitely the Opeth show in Hamburg this december with katatonia, it was amazing to see Martin Lopez playing live..
I must admit that this was the only metal concert I've been to this year, apart from some regional metal bands who played in little locations
The Air concert was a good experience, cause i didnt know what to expect live from a band like this. would it be like disco or a rock concert? actually, my expectations couldn't be fulfilled, they didnt even play "all i need"!
So, Wacken is the only concert left. And it was great!!!!!! The best billing ever, i saw Cryptopsy, dark T., In Flames, Opeth, The haunted and some other great bands, it was amazing like every year!

d.)
definitely my friends from 1st Issue (www.1stissue.de) because they won a talent contest....yeah, my vote!!!!!

e.)
Haven, to me this album is nothing! I tried to find something good in it, but i couldn't. No, this was a pure 0!!! But still dark t. are my faves.

f.)
i bought so many non-metal albums that i cannot just pick one out of them! Was Coldplay's Parachutes released this year? If so, that might be my pick, if not then it would be REM - live in cologne! this one's so wonderfull calm and silent and sad and mysterious, just like everything i buy...

one question! do i also have to show you my girlfriend just like poet does all the time.....?
