This is better version of this journal. Now I'm serious, rly.

The idea is to go to the page of your number one artist, and follow the link of it's number one similar artist, then repeating that for this artist and so on, noting down each artist as you go. Do this until you've got to 50 artists (not including your number one). If you get any repeats, just go to the second similar artist or the nearest one that you haven't already had.

So, let's see where I end up...

1. Lacrimosa

3. Illuminate
4. Mantus
5. Black Heaven
6. Cephalgy

This is me once again trying to define musical genres, especially the ones that are in some way called dark.

My interest in melancholic, somber, and even tragic tunes has grown since childhood. On Last.fm I look for music that fits this taste of mine, but I noticed I do not perform an specific search for one simple reason: I can't easily label music. This difficulty may be explained by the fact that many bands mix different kinds of music together, being it hard to define what is purely post-punk, gothic rock, new wave, darkwave, ethereal, cold wave (coldwave)...

I wish I could understand this better.

Russian Gothic Project при поддержке группы компаний "Теремок" представляет: cамое ожидаемое готическое событие года, ежегодный международный мини-фестиваль "Edge Of The Night"! Уже в двенадцатый раз он традиционно пройдет в клубе "Точка" именно в канун Хэллоуина, в ночь с 31 октября на 1 ноября (с субботу на воскресение).

В течение вечера перед вами выступят четыре коллектива: москвичи Ange Noir (Visual Rock / Indie Gothic) и DBS (Old School EBM / Bodybilly), а также гости из Японии The Royal Dead (Japan Gothic / Synth / Visual Kei) и романтические немецкие хэдлайнеры Illuminate (Gothic / Darkwave)! Ну а после выступления коллективов и до шести утра танцпол будет традиционно "гореть" от искрометных gothic, synth и electro сэтов диджеев: Lumbricus, Negative, Santino, Basil и несравненной Hellen.

Также в рамках фестиваля пройдет выставка работ от известного проекта DirtyAngels. …
