It's amazing, I know, but today I played my 400,000th song here on Last.fm. As I was at work, listening to my personal radio, I let Last.fm do the choosing and so it happened that the lucky number was the lovely With You by Seapony ;)

And another year gone…

Thank you Last.fm for introducing Mix Radio in the past year. I’m really loving it!

Just for the record, some statistics.
