Update: 9 December 2013 -
Hi folks! After a long 4 years and 5 months of not logging on, I am back here for my 10th RYM birthday (RYMday)....... :-)
Yes, it's been an incredible 10 years since I registered my account! Holy shit, time flies. Just to let you know that I am alive and well. Don't expect me to be active on the site again, though. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that, at least for now...... But the great memories of working on this fantastic database together with all of you will stay forever! Anyway, thanks to those who left comments or wrote messages during my absence, wondering whether I was alright, or asking me to return.


Bezirksligameister nur der S-C-G, nur der S-C-G!
(Ja, ja, es ist nur die 7. Liga, aber man wird doch noch feiern dürfen......)

Welcome to the revolution. RYM 2.0 --- 8 August 2006, worldwide.

Anyone know where I can buy me some time? If so, please send me a PM. Thanks. ;-)
Seems I don't actually get to rating and reviewing music here anymore.....

I recommend: 2Bangkok.com
I also recommend: Street Smart Sukhumvit
And then I also recommend: The BNR Metal Pages
And the fantastic Encyclopaedia Metallum!
Wanna listen to some Metal? Wacken Radio - Heavycore

Once you start, you're hooked: Geni.com (originally pointed out by ptree on his user page - thanks!)
And anyone should watch the Story of Stuff.

RYM Conformity Rating (explanation)

Various Artists - Oddities
genrelinkization is sweet, dude

The first album specially made for geologists: Precambrian

Karel's RYM Who is Who - all you ever wanted to know about the most important RYMers.


Why I rarely post on the RYM forum? Well, I already spend all my time posting here. :-) Also, discussing about music seems a trifle pointless to me - largely a question of personal taste, ain't it?

My latest hobby:
Discovering obscure Metal gems (?) from the 80s on Vibrations of Doom and rating (sometimes also reviewing) them on RYM. See all those "digital format" entries in my "latest albums" below.

I recently became a curvologist as well! (See item #290 at [List167926])

My hometown: Göttingen. And my resume is here - [List84482] ;-)

Und für alle, die es noch nicht kennen (skandalös!): Virales Marketing im Todesstern Stuttgart.

By the way - Frontpage Reviews are overrated. Just because some moronic admin selected your drivel, don't fool yourself into thinking you deserve a literary award.

And my "Other Comments" section is way too long, I know.
