Yesterday, Cristi recommended to listen to a band he found recently, called Seether. As he mentioned something about them sounding somehow similar to Nirvana, I proceeded. And I must say it sounds very decent for such a young group.

Also, they have some covers of Nirvana, which to me proves they are really inspired by Kurt Cobain & Co. But anyways, they sound pretty original and well-put-together, with some heavy riffs from time to time to add more weight to the sound.

It made it to my standard playlist, so I guess it’s worth giving it a try :)

Good things: tracks like Broken, 69 Tea, Gasoline, Remedy.
Interesting: they are from South Africa.

Out of my knowledge so far, this are some of the most important events to expect in new album releases in 2006:

- Implant pentru Refuz to launch “Monolith” in February
- ACDC to launch the “Get Back in Rock” album in March
- David Gilmour to launch “On an Island” in March
- Red Hot Chilli Peppers to launch “Stadium Arcadium” in April
- Guns ‘N Roses are expected to come back with another album, called “Chinese Democracy”, sometimes this year.
- Also Sepultura should release “Dante XXI” this year
- Roger Waters, U2 and Motorhead should announce some albums this year. Hopefully, so will Joe Satriani.

Looking forward for all of the above, and also for some nice surprises !

Ah, and you can also expect me to buy a new external USB hard-drive to store all the music to :)
