Ok, so, I was trying to do a cute little journal entry every time I hit a 5,000-tracks-scrobbled milestone. I thought it would be neat to see the change in my musical taste and whatever was popular to me over time. Anyway, at 15,000 tracks… what was to be my third installment… i effed up and forgot. From that time on, I've tried to see what my whatever-thousandth track was for fun. Here they are….

16,000 - How Can It Be

I heard this track on a commercial for like Boston Store or something and was completely hooked.

Ok, so, luckily I was paying attention to my little song counter thingy and am able to make this into a cool journal entry. Actually, since I noticed I was getting kind of close, I've been obsessively checking every few hours… but not the point. When I realized that I was getting close to 9990, I made a playlist of ten well-representative tracks that take me from my past preferences and into my future ones. As I write this, I am listening to that very playlist and editing it feverishly to make sure it's just right.

Rilo Kiley- Accidental…

it has been quite a variety of music that has brought me here, but i wanted to make sure that my 5000 track represented all the ones that came before it. that's why i chose Rilo Kiley- A Man/Me/Then Jim.

in the last year, my musical tastes have morphed almost completely. while i've always enjoyed indie-ish music, my musical journey of the past year have brought me in many different directions and i've found out about a lot of great bands.

while i have only been a last.fm member for a few months, my top artists list is…

Go through your top 10 artists and add up the total number of listeners. Divide the average by the number of Coldplay fans (Coldplay is - at the moment - the artist with the most listeners). That is your "mainstream percentage".

… but when i started to figure it out, i noticed that a lot of artists were coming up as having zero listeners. i figured it was just a glitch, but i'm looking again today…

Let me just start off by saying that just tyoing out my top ten shows that last.fm isn't reflecting my musical tastes very much. Proabably because I haven't listened to enough music. However, it does reflect that I listen to a variety of different stuff, so that's cool.

2. Panic! at the Disco
3. Brandi Carlile
4. KT Tunstall
5. M.I.A.
