Merde: Ten Thousand

Ten Thousand

I joined Last.fm as a new years resolution of sorts. I was inspired by Kottke’s post, and, in general, my love for stats. So, needless to say, I’ve been checking up on my Last.fm account from time to time. Today, something very exciting happened: Between January 3, 2007 and now (July 16, 2007 at 4:17 pm) I have listened to 10,000 songs.¹ If I continue at this current rate it will take me almost 6 years to get to 100,000, the next big milestone I guess. Anyways, here’s the stats.

My top 20 artists so far this year are as follows:²
1. The Blow
2. YACHT
3. Mirah
4. Bob Dylan
5. Deerhoof
6. The Righteous and Harmonious Fists (represent!)
7. Manta
8. Cat Power
9. Adrian Orange
10. Dear Nora

11. The Badger King
12. Wu-Tang Clan
13. Bobby Birdman
14. Tom Waits
15. Prodigy (of Mobb Deep)
16. Lavender Diamond
17. Dirty Projectors
18. High Places
19. CocoRosie
20. Belle and Sebastian

None of these are really surprising… If there was a “Top Time Elapsed” I think Public Radio International would be higher (currently 29) up in the list because all the podcasts I listen to are around an hour each.

Some fun graphical representations:

And a weird gooey graph

_{¹This includes my time at work (where I listen the most, 8-5 Monday-Friday since the summer began) and home (Far less than work lately because I’m at home less. Plus lately, with no internet connection at home, I don’t know how much is being tracked). This does not include my iPod (I know you can track your iPod listening, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet, plus I haven’t really used my iPod much lately).}

_{²Not including the current month.}
