Too bad dark languages rarely survive.

Today is a far better day in the workplace, with a whole lot more sanity. I'm behind on the paperwork, but getting through it in a brutally streamlined fashion, with brief detours for coffee, biological necessity, and mental necessity of those little moments where you just have to stop thinking actively about these things so that the back of the brain can process and some of what the back of the brain was on about can come out the fingers.

I have developed a serious taste for a certain flavor of metal, and have a delightful list of bands to recommend to people who are abusing Evanescence badly. Nightwish is far less whiny, Leaves' Eyes are beautiful, I like Plumb a lot, Elis has a lot of the same sound, Lacuna Coil is good but well-known and perhaps somewhat overused too, Inkubus Sukkubus is excellent, Sis loves Tristania and so do I. Sirenia is good. ... and probably onyxrising has more random recommendations.

Things caught fire at work last night. Insanity. Scary stuff. It smelled like burned wiring, Homie G Supervisor said. I totally do not blame him for forgetting one of his pieces of paperwork, especially because he came this morning and gave me the data. Poor guy. (He was, IIRC, #1 in charge last night.)

Where did you discover Leaves' Eyes? I only found them recently.

I feel like I ought to be adding to your offerings list, but my brain is dead and it's a class of music that I used to listen to often but haven't in ages.

For some reason, the voice of the Nightwish lead singer (the more famous one) makes me cringe. I don't know why. The only song of theirs I can stand (that I have actually heard, it has been a while) was Wishmaster.

On Pandora. I fed it "Nemo" and some Inkubus Sukkubus, and it came up with a whole lot of things; I eventually told it to base a station off that sound, and I have been tuning my "Sugar Metal" station for a couple days now.

Also?

FISHMASTER!

For the more dark minded music paragraph, you can add: Rasputina, Faith and the Muse, Dead Can Dance, Abney Park, Deine Lakaien, Delerium, Elysian Fields, Hungry Lucy, Swans, The Creatures, This Mortal Coil, and well, the list could go on. But plugging Faith and the Muse into a new station on Pandora will give you lots more. =)

Why no, this hasn't been my music of choice lately... >.> (And if you want more samples, I can upload some)

Rasputina samples? I have heard that they're very good.
