My 60,000th Scrobbled track was Peter Broderick's A Song for the Cranes.
I don't even know where my music taste has gone, or come from, or where's it's headed. Signs would point to it getting stranger, as my most listened to band for the last few weeks has been Amon Amarth, but with a decent smattering of T.I. in there as well. Combined with Peter's gorgeous music, it's an unusual three artists to be obsessed with at the same moment in time.

Personally, the sheer fact nine out of the top ten artists I listen to have…

Hilariously, I have to log in for the first time in weeks to post this. You can tell I care when…

My 50,000th track listened to on Last.FM was (by my calculation) Dirty Water, by K-Os.
I find that kind of funny. iTunes was simply on shuffle for that one.
Amongst all the other music I've been listening to it's one of my old favourites that shines through for number 50,000.

Oh well. See you at 60,000?

15.) Explosions in the Sky
10,000 tracks ago, they were at number ten. This doesn't mean much, they still have a lot of plays, but not as many recently. Why? My music has been undergoing steady change, as this chart might reflect.
I still believe that my life soundtrack would include some Explosions in the Sky. Their music is beautiful.

14.) Metric
Ah yes. Last time they didn't chart. This time, though, I've seen them live! I was blown away. They now are a major fixture in the music I listen to often.

13.) Conjure One
Number nine last time.…

DUDE. DUDETTE. TAKE YOUR PICK.

I have submitted 30,000 tracks to Last.FM (formerly Audioscrobbler!).
What was this song? The Other. Makes sense. I'm a little bit obsessed with Isis lately.

Still, would have been interesting to have it be a band I don't usually listen to. Or one that is in my top two or three (Jakalope, Mogwai, Tool, etc.).

Later on this week I'll probably make a journal about my charts as a whole, how they've changed between thousands of tracks.

10.) Skinny Puppy 12 Plays

Well, that's an alright start. Skinny Puppy are pretty amazing.

8.) Opeth 15 Plays

ROCK ON. Still looking good.

8.) Gorillaz 15 Plays

Also pretty awesome, whether they fit in with Opeth and Skinny Puppy.

7.) Mogwai 24 Plays

Ah, easily one of my favourite bands. Gotta love them.

5.) Muse, Tool 27 Plays

Holy awesome bands. Still going nuts from seeing Tool live. Loving the new Muse album too.

4.) A Perfect Circle 28 Plays

Yup. Still pretty awesome. Saw them live years ago. Tool put on a better live show.

3.) Isis…

Okay, so I wrote a review a while ago and simply didn't post it. It seems a good time to post this, considering the freaking concert is tomorrow! :)

Anthem 2: The preview of this song I heard made it sound like a massive, different, and unique opener. In a way it is. The song is crunching, heavy, and an amazing way to start the album. When I first heard it I got chills, and found myself ignoring the length of the song, which on repeated listens is my only problem with the song (and the album in general). It's…

w00t new Jakalope!

Expect a review sometime soonish.

Also, spending fifty dollars on an import CD = less than smart.

It's a little bit sparse, but hey, it's what I can afford.
July 10th - Metric
July 27th - Jakalope
August 24th - Tool

Fuck yes.

Anyways…Lately I've been relatively absent from last.fm, as well as the internet itself. Something about the internet has been boring me to tears, I don't seem to want to interact with the people out there, and hell, the most I get out of the internet these days is the occasional game of Starcraft. Woo.

Back to music, I've been listening to a lot of different music lately. Mostly focusing on the bands I'll be…

Okay, so I'm bored, and with little else to do, I decided to comment on my having played 20,000 songs on this here last.fm thing.

15.) Muse
Well damn. I haven't even listened to Muse in at least six months. Maybe a song here or there, but hardly enough to have them this high on my charts still.
They're good though. Just not what I'm in to now.

14.) A Perfect Circle
Ditto for APC as it is for Muse.
Still a great band, just not my style now.

13.) Charlotte Church
Ka-boom! She explodes out of nowhere, and gets…
