Dilemma / Friday Five

Okay, I have to admit, I'm a sucker for silly things like.. uh.. imood and those things. Well, as you can see on the coffeecounter.. ;-)
So.. now I am in a huge dilemma. It is saturday. And I found The Friday Five. Now what? Wait until next week? Be a lame ass? I just found The Friday Five after TWO years and that.. on a saturday. Uhm, well, yes.. so.. here it goes:

1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why?

I don't think I have one single favorite one. I wondered for a moment, if I should place Marilyn Manson here, since, well, since I have most of his CDs and listen to them quite regularly. On the other hand, the more I think about it, I'd say Linkin Park is more like it.
If some of my friends would be reading this now, they'd be like what??!!, but well.. if you really think about it, they're nothing but a bunch of geeks making music. Did someone watch that dvd? They're playing on their computers for hours and hours and after a while, they have some music, which I actually don't want to see live. I can't say why, but I wouldn't want that.

2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why?

PDiddyPuffDaddyCombsWhatEver - I just can't. His music sucks and his attitude is so.. so trashy newly-rich. I mean, I don't envy anyone making a lot of money. Even less, when they actually come out from no-where. But please, can't you celebrate that in style?

3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person?

Those Linkin Park guys? Yeah, sure.

4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show?

Yeah. And the best show so far was.. hm.. seen from the point of the music, that would be Slipknot. Showwise, I'd say the Bloodhound Gang was most fun.

5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music?

They sue 12-year olds. I mean, I do buy a lot of original CDs, most because I downloaded some songs before and liked them. But all this (the stuff they plan here in Germany, too) it just plainly sucks.
