Last FM says I listened to lots of:

Regina Spektor
Against Me!
The Weakerthans
Christy Moore
Cat Power
Ronnie Drew/The Dubliners
Modest Mouse
Au Revoir Simone
and Billy Bragg

X-Calibre

1. Modest Mouse
2. Sigur Ros
3. Infected Mushroom
4. Digitalism
5. Simian Mobile Disco
6. Kings of Leon
7. The Roots
8. The National
9. Interpol
10. The Presets

Apparently it's been:
1 Scala & Kolacny Brothers
2 Anna Maria Jopek
3 Sarah McLachlan
4 Petula Clark
5 Sting
6 Cecilia Bartoli
7 Koda Kumi
8 The Beta Band
9 Ayumi Hamasaki
10 Manic Street Preachers
... which is unexpected.

Very flatline graph for the year though, lots of people listened to only a few times. Top tracks for the year seem to indicate my most played track was Cathy Dennis doing "Waterloo Sunset". Which I like, screw you, purists. Not that I need to explain, but Petula Clark is in the list as I put about half her tracks on at once, hence the total there is 148 plays. Probably listened to far more music on the mp3 player though, which isn't tracked as it's not an ayeayeayepod.

1. Cold War Kids
2. Pearl Jam
3. Justice
4. Foals
4. Radiohead
6. Interpol
7. Elbow
8. Vampire Weekend
9. Bon Iver
9. Beck

the weird thing is that Foals & Radiohead tied with the same number of listens and so did Bon Iver and Beck. Anyway if I'd had to call it myself it wouldn't have turned out like that.

1. The Whitest Boy Alive
2. Interpol
3. Ian Brown
4. Bent
5. Badly Drawn Boy

Don't mind the video tho.

If you're serious about checking them out I recommend you listen to The Return of the Durutti Column. Brilliance right thur.

...only inconsistency here is my brother listening to KOL on my laptop loads when the last album was released, but i'd say a good portion of their plays are still by me
but who needs to listen to iTunes when you can turn on any radio station to hear both 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody' within 5 minutes :rolleyes:
