Mordi: like your blog, but you don't fucking care anymore, right? what's this adjective shit about "brilliant" and so on? just say something relevant about the artists .... merci & bisoux, XXX

I DO care but if you don't like my blog then you can just fuck off!

This is my VERY FIRST POST:
"Saturday, November 13, 2004
what's the skinny?

no chat.

just top music."

GET IT?!!!

My blog has ALWAYS been about the music and I hardly ever write anything about the artists. If you like the artist or song then I leave it up to you to go and research them. I'm not going to bore you with information.

A word or brief comment from me is enough and if you don't like it- go somewhere else you ungrateful shit.

(to everyone else- thanks for your encouraging comments - love you all!X)
