OK I'm still aglow with the thrill following today's installation of Firefox, Greasemonkey and various scripts - notably Chart Changes, Blue Theme and Artist Fan Rank.
If you don't have these little extras - man, you should. They're great fun. Now I'm gonna have to wait a week to really enjoy the Chart Changes….however the Artist Fan Rank has kicked in already. It's quite a thrill as you watch each Band Name, then Song Name etc in your charts light up as the search starts….. OK I'm desperately sad and a complete loser - just put on a pair of thick glasses, pop a couple of pens in your top pocket and get into the zone , people. It's not my fault you're cooler than me! Embrace your inner dag and read on….
OK back to business - so what were the results?
Well:
TOP ARTISTS
Well for my top two artists Depeche Mode and a-ha I don't even rate a mention - but that's not unexpected….
3. Big Country - #15 Fan
5. Savoy - #21 Fan
14. Boom Crash Opera - #7 Fan
Well it was all going well and then……
15. Brother Beyond- #2 Fan
This is the point where I wondered if I should just kill myself immediately. I am the lastfm #2 Brother Beyond fan. There is no hope for me whatsoever. Ah well, fuck it - I love their album "Get Even". It captures what they were like before Stock Aitken Waterman came along and turned them into a chart friendly machine churning out crap like "The Harder I Try". Same thing SAW did to Bananarama after the glorious "True Confessions".
18. Drum Theatre - #2 Fan
24. Magne F - #9 Fan
26. Then Jerico - #5 Fan
29. The Skids - #32 Fan
38. Kids In The Kitchen - #4 Fan
53. Bridges - #12 Fan
After the top 60 it gets weirder. Hmmm, well overall I'm quite pleased with them - it certainly does highlight how deliriously obscure and 80s my tastes are. A warning should probably be put on my page though!
TRACKS
Well there are too many to detail…..and of course I've omited the Live Ones, Demos and Remixes and stuff - plus it's possible some of them are ones I have mistitled etc. Taking that into account it seems that I am:
