May was once again an eclectic selection of music tastes in regards to my listening habits, with the greater nods still going to the darker side of my music tastes (industrial, goth, ebm, punk) with a decent showing from the more chillout corner of the room. Wumpscut definetly enjoyed the highest new entry spot due to their brilliant new album that was released in May, whilst new releases also saw Marilyn Manson climb my charts. I also finally got hold of a Jakalope album and a couple of CKY outings. All About Eve returned to my lists with the highest new entry just beating Akira Yamaoka, whose Silent Hill soundtracks I've been listening to quite a lot of whilst working recently.
The below are the bands I've listend to most in Mayl on iTunes or my iPod. Inspiration, downtime, or just to keep me company whilst I work. This list made up a large part of my soundtrack over the last 31 days...
