We have all been there. We feel like crap and need some good, sad songs to comfort us. Maybe some Pop, Rock, Folk, but no screamo or heavy metal. Not sure about Electronic because it goes into this whole new sub-genre that doesn't mix well. I have around 100 songs but I know there are more. I just need help. Comment with suggestions, Please :)

t.A.T.u. is one of my new discoveries but I still think it's retarded how they abrev their name. I actually refuse to name it like that on my iTunes. I don't understand why anyone would choose to tYpE like this but I'll quit my rant for now.

I got crap for listening to Britney Spears. Yes, I know my taste in music makes no sense to the common folk. However, it is my taste and it does bug me when someone critizes it. I am not going around to random people on Last.Fm saying ew wtf are you listing…

I have met my goal. I have played over 50,000 tracks and it's still daylight on the eve of the New Year. At least it is on the Pacific Coast :)

Happy New Year everyone on Last.Fm! Let's hope the new year brings lots of great and cool music. I hope that I discover even more music thanks to my eccentric and assortment of friends and random visitors. Yes, even the ones who don't comment or shout I adore you too since indirectly you have helped my music collection this year.

I have over 750 artists on my iPod and…

I have averaged 873 plays a week this month. I have to admit I have been using my iPod more instead of my cd player because I really want to hit 50,000 plays before the month ends.

Radiohead was #1 on my Weekly Top 10 twice this month. It was quite suprising. I love them but they're not the kind of music I like to play all the time, which is why they are finally #11 on my Overall Top Artists.

Electronic music has dominated as I predicted on my last post. My fave track off the LCD Soundsystem's Sound…

Last month I averaged 780.5 tracks a week! Pretty scary, huh? I should hit 50,000 tracks by Jan 2007.

Every week I was consistant and listened to Lady Sovereign. The Cranberries were popular for the first 3 weeks but I dont think they are going to be on the Top 10 for a while. I am kind of sick of them again. Deerhoof was cool for the first 2 weeks but all that noise just isn't something I can listen to that often.

I am kind of disappointed that I didn't mix it up. I stuck to the same…

Top Artists for the week ending 29 Oct 2006

I told you a couple weeks ago I was going to listen to more Deerhoof. I still dont get how the Fans section works. They're #2 on my overall and I have over 900 tracks played. What do I have to do to be higher up?

I also got the new Tim Burton's: The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. I was surprised I listened to Danny Elfman so much I thought I was just listening to Sally's Song.

I was checking out my recommended artists and Johanna Newsom stood out. She…

(That's all I really wanted to say)
