Will I ever…

Okay, so I really actually want to do my Top 10 Albums of 2007 or something, but this seems much easier, and therefore more suitable for my current state of laziness. I'm also changing this to bands from the last 6 months.

Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm:

01 Belle and Sebastian
02 Wilco
03 The Shins
04 The Postal Service
05 Emiliana Torrini
06 Peter Bjorn and John
07 Ben Lee
08 Sufjan Stevens
09 Death Cab for Cutie
10 Broken Social Scene

Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

What was the first song…

Obviously I am pretty obsessed with Belle and Sebastian lately. It took me over a year to register 2000 plays, but barely 2 months to get another 1000 on top of that. I guess it helps that I now have six albums :).

A toast, to more Belle and Sebastian!

They so deserve it!

James <3's Belle and Sebastian

The albums that I enjoy start to finish in one go:

The Postal Service - Give Up
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Chris Isaak - Forever Blue
The Killers - Hot Fuss
The Shins - Wincing The Night Away

S'all I can think of at the moment :)

It's weird, quite a few of these artists I hardly even listen to any more. I mean, there aren't any that I don't like, but there's ones further down the list (>20) that I'd much rather write about. Oh well, such is life!

1. The Postal Service
- First track heard: Such Great Heights
- Made you fall in love: Such Great Heights
- Current favorite: Brand New Colony
- Favorite album: Give Up
2. Belle and Sebastian
- First track heard: The Stars of Track and Field
- Made you fall in love: Like Dylan In The Movies

Wow, I listened to one song 70 times last week! It was just on repeat for quite a while. The song was Vienna. It's such a lovely song, just about slowing down and making the most of your short life, I suppose. I remember listening to it as a kid and stuff, but somebody reminded me of it the other week and I searched through Dad's music to find it, and have been loving it ever since :D

So, last week I has an extremely low song count. I have good reason though! I dual booted my laptop so that Windows and Linux (Ubuntu Dapper) are running together! Anyway, it took me a while to figure out how to work Last.fm scrobbling with Linux (as that's all I've been using), but I got the latest version of amaroK music player, which is wonderfully fantastic, and it automatically scrobbles everything if you want it to. Yay!
