Last.fm Listening Habits 2012 Q2

I started off this quarter using a smart playlist that only played songs I hadn’t heard in the last quarter in an attempt to listen to even more great music, but Amarok lost my library which clears out the last played field and so I ended up with lots of repeats again.  Oh well!  It’s all great music!

1. Five Iron Frenzy (65 plays) - I continued to listen to some great music from my high school years

2. Relient K (59 plays) - nothing to say that hasn’t already been said

3. The Beatles (40 plays) - I continue to be surprised by just how great a music group they were

4. Anberlin (34 plays) - I go hot and cold on this group since I listened to them so much in college.  But they do have some great poetry to their lyrics

5. I Fight Dragons (23 plays) - a great band - check them out and don’t be put off by the fact that they use Nintendos to make some of the sounds in their songs

6. Fallout Boy (22 plays) - man, talk about poetry in lyrics.  I don’t know why I allowed myself to ignore them for so long.  But I’m glad I started listening to them about four or five years ago.

7. Danny Elfman (20 plays) - the best at soundtracks

7. Jars of Clay (20 plays) - I discovered that I had forgotten to rip one of the CDs I own so I listened to the whole thing and gained appreciation for some songs I didn’t like in High School

9. Switchfoot (19 plays) - not much to say that I haven’t already said

9. Allie Moss (19 Plays) - discovered her via Noise Trade and I really, really like her songs.

11. Optimus Rhyme (18 plays) - yay for Nerdcore that sounds good!

12. Childish Gambino (17 plays) - not much more to say here

12. Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer (17 plays) - rap as if it were written in the victorian era - even better than it sounds!

14. Lostprophets (16 plays) - great songs!

14. “Weird Al” Yankovic (16 plays) - did I really listen to 16 weird al songs in the past 3 months?
