I'm becoming redundant:
1 Pulp 93
2 Billy Bragg 92
3 Weezer 76
4 R.E.M. 69
5 The Smiths 66
6 Sufjan Stevens 57
7 Frank Sinatra 53
7 U2 53
9 Wilco 52
10 Franz Ferdinand 48

Pulp just edged out Moz as my second most listened artist. Wow.

edit: it isn't accurate at all though. I know for a fact I listened to my entire Blur discography last night which is over a 100 songs at least, yet they didn't even show up on my chart. Unless they stop calculating on Saturday night or something.

I listened to [i]Funeral[/i] again in the hopes it might have grown on me, but if anything it made me want to rate it even lower.

To lift my spirits after this disappointment, I listened to Wire - [i]Pink Flag[/i] and Rob Dougan - [i]Furious Angels[/i]; both albums I should really listen to more.

And since then I've been listening to Brutal Truth for the first time in a while ([i]Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses[/i] and [i]Need To Control[/i]).

I'll be at that for sure.


I went to pick up [I]The Craft[/I] yesterday after work, since I was told it would be in the store then, but no such luck. So I just picked up another Tom Waits album instead. [I]Closing Time[/I], it's great.

Also listened to Beastie Boys - [I]Paul's Boutique[/I] for the second time and it really is a wonderful album.

You know what would be really great, is if people described the stuff they're into. Because just mentioning a band name doesn't make me want to check them out. But a persuasive paragraph will.

It's not the American way to take time in doing something, we're all about posting fast and getting it done.

I do, to corroborate your description. If you don't bother, I don't bother.

I agree. It could actually make posting here worthwhile.

I do that fairly frequently, unless it's a band I know everyone here is acquainted with.

pixiesfanyo 10-10-2005 07:34 PM

Death Cab For Cutie - Transalanticism
Between the Buried and Me - Alaska

For me, seemingly "interesting" band names would suffice.

I like Idaho because they have that great kind of suave/dangerous mood to them, sort of like the Afghan Whigs. They're tough to describe; just kind of laid-back but loud indie rock.

Mike Jones is a rapper and "Still Tippin'" is a great song.

The Promise Ring is a really catchy power-pop band from the whole second-wave emo thing.
