Last.fm – Two years statistics

Last Tuesday was a milestone in my geeky life. I’ve been scrobbling my music to Last.fm for two years now (since August 4h, 2007).

I’ve been very picky about scrobbling everything I was listening to. Whenever I was at work, at home, walking or driving with my iPod…I think I managed to track more than 98% of the music that gets in my ears. So now, let’s see some geeky-nerdy-indie-stats:

• 14, 409 songs in the span two years. That is an average of 20 songs per day. It seems high, but it could be considered as a little more than one album per day, which makes a lot of sense.
• My most listened artists are:
  • Coldplay and The Beatles. Nothing surprising here. It’s always a good time for those UK sounds.
  • Feist: this one is because of my girlfriend. Don’t get me wrong, I love what this girl does but I just don’t think it would be 3rd if it was just for me.
  • The Weakerthans: this is definitely my favorite band. I’ve been consistently appreciating their work for the past 8 years.
  • Vampire Weekend: That was the album that played in the car every single time that we hit the road in 2007.
  • MGMT: the best album in 2008 in my opinion. Every song is awesome.
• My most listened albums are:
  • The Beatles – Love: The remastered compilation from the Cirque du Soleil show. It’s often the one I pick when I want to listen to the Beatles because the sound is great and the selection of songs if good.
  • MGMT – Oracular Spectacular: As I said, this is the best album I listened to since 2008.
  • Flight of The Conchords: These are the song from the their excellent TV series. These guys are hilarious and it became the official “road-trip” album in 2009 when we got tired of Vampire Weekend.
• My most listened tracks are not a good representation of what happened. I can assure you that I was seriously hooked on one single song in the last two years and it was Born to Please by Sound Team. That song is perfect, the drums, the guitars, the voices and the bass… THE BASS!

whoa! That was a list. I hope it wasn’t too boring. The important thing is to click on the links and to listen to the music. Have fun!
