Personally, I don't see what's wrong with this translation. It definitely sounds better than a machine translation. I would change a few things, like "за деньги я бы сделал всё" instead of "за определенную плату я бы сделал всё," but this is just me nitpicking, really.

Remember that picture with soon-to-be-published translations. They think that I use
Google Translate for 4/6 rejected translations. Other two didn't pass through and I'm
not surprised, but to accuse me of using electronic translators?.. Well, I don't know.
So, there are two accepted ones:
one,
two.
I wonder why these don't seem somewhat automatic to them.
P.S. Can you agree that this looks like a machine translation?

You still have good music taste. I remember when I heard Operation: Mindcrime for the
first time, it blew my mind. It hasn't aged well sadly.
Do you like Porcupine Tree?

espejismo, I'm not going to argue with them anyway. I think there really were some not good-looking enough places in other translations, but they could at least point at this moments and let me fix it. They didn't, so that's their problem.
tarvos, I finally felt something from Unexpect today, btw :) But then I lost my mood and forgot everything.
I need something more metal than Steven Wilson and his main child, but I like some songs by them:

I actually prefer them when they are less metal. To me their best albums are around the
turn of the century (In Absentia, Lightbulb Sun, Stupid Dream), not what came afterwards.
The metal feels a bit fabricated when SW uses it. If I wanted to metal it up I'd go
Opeth. (in that direction)

Well, I'm not surprised :)

I learned nothing in German or Swedish today, but English books lead the way. That Danish detective is 53,6% now and I forced myself to stop.
Right now I'm really surprising myself by listening to "The Linguist" (in English, of course). I don't remember the actual time when I started it today's evening, but here's screenshot:
(and, yeah, I do not stop, I'm listening right now)
I don't know if it'll be helpful, but now I'm glad to think that I seem to get 95% or even more!

Is that Steve Kaufmann's book? (omg I almost wrote Steven Wilson...)

Oh yes, it's the one written by Steve. I suppose it's available as mp3 files through LingQ.com.

I literally swallowed that poor Danish detective today, I was reading during physical chemistry, while I was in a bus, while I was eating... Now I need to face that I can't find Jussi Adler-Olsen's books (in English, anyway) in my usual sources. It upsets me now much, but I already been advised to read Chase by my English teacher, so I'll do it after finishing listening "The Linguist".
Everything else has been put in sleep mode. Sad but true.
