July 30, 2008 marked a year and a half since my registration with last.fm. As I did at my first anniversary on January 30, I have taken a snapshot of my listening during these 18 months.

The snapshot is composed of two lists: a list of my 25 top "artists" up to now, and a list of my 10 top tracks played.

The information in these lists is worth what it is worth. (And that's not much.)
