Top 50 Lyrics

23 Mar 2010, 04:13 by apptfire

I think this is a yearly tradition, to see how much the list changed :)

49. "Oh my God, I just can't handle this, I lost myself inside a drunken kiss." -- Champagne's For Celebrating (I'll Have A Martini), Mayday Parade

48. "Close but still so far, from what I'm wishing." -- So Close, Libbie Schrader

47. "I feel, the distance, between us, could be over, with the snap of your fingers" -- Hook Up, Katy Perry

46. "Drove all night, I'm the deer in your headlights." -- Holly (Would You Turn Me On?), All Time Low

45. "Troubled boy, I'll kiss you one last time, then say goodnight forever." -- Waters Edge, 1997

44. "I'll crave your kiss while you're gone, so much I'm missing that I love." -- Los Angeles, The Audition

last.fm survey 2: the sequel

14 Jan 2010, 03:57 by togethernesses

i figure my tastes have changed a lot since november 2008, so i'm redoing that survey. yeeeep. this list would be more accurate if i had a working hard drive for the whole year. let's hope 2010 is one of those years.

1. How did you get into 29?
The Rural Alberta Advantage. david saw them at sxsw last year and raved about them after he got home.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Mae Shi. um, honestly i'm not sure, but they reminded me of teen girl squad and i got hooked.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own?
The Dodos. i have Visiter and Time to Die.

4. What is your favorite song by 15?
Bright Eyes. hmmmm. "first day of my life" is a front runner. but a lot of his stuff hits me really hard, so i'm not sure.

5. What is your favorite song by 5?
Forever The Sickest Kids. either "breakdown," "the way she moves," "catastrophe" or "whoa oh." all great jams.

2009: Top Artists & Tracks

31 Dec 2009, 19:00 by Passioneer

Please ignore. I have nothing better to do with my time and tracking my listening habits excites me more than it probably should. (Also, I know the year isn't quite over yet but I doubt the numbers are going to change enough to make a difference in those last few hours.)

First up, top fifty artists with play counts and position changes from last year's list (bolded artists were not within last year's fifty; underlined are artists I hadn't listened to extensively before this year).

1. Mew (763 plays)
2. The Decemberists (681 plays)
3. Neko Case (621 plays)
4. Jeniferever (572 plays)
5. Grammatics (514 plays)
5. 1997 (514 plays) UP 4
7. Beach House (509 plays)
8. Margot & The Nuclear So And So's (490 plays) UP 36
9. Yeah Yeah Yeahs (482 plays) UP 20
10. Los Campesinos! (441 plays) DOWN 7
11. Tegan And Sara (436 plays) UP 13
12. Rilo Kiley (391 plays) DOWN 10
13. Now It's Overhead (384 plays) DOWN 9
