Just passed 30000 scrobbles. This is what was playing:

Neko Case – Deep Red Bells

Took awhile (almost 2 years) but hit #20000 yesterday 3/10/2010. It was
The Swell Season – Love That Conquers

About average with this one…

Take your top 50 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 20 similar artists (where the artist itself is the #1 most similar). The resulting number of unique artists is your super-eclectic score. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/supereclectic.php

I guess 10000 is a landmark so for posterity, #10000 was:
Meat Puppets - Backwater
while playing my library on shuffle (just for the surprise).

I've never been much of a fan but after listening to that song again I thought it was not too bad. May have to listen to the Meat Puppets more than once every 6 years…

My eclectic score has increased this year. I'm guessing due to all the World music I've been listening to since Womad last year.

A note to self.
Just reached my 1000th song on Last.fm. It took 47 days to reach 1000. In case of any future nostalgic feelings I might have the song was:

Your Guts Are Like Mine by Set Fire to Flames

While listening to post-rock tag radio.

Pretty short song as far as post-rock goes but I kind of like the sound. Yet another Montreal based band that gets added to my list of
bands I need to check out.

From a guy who never has and never will pay a penny for drm-restricted music; a short but (hopefully) growing list of places to buy drm-free music online:

emusic
Apparently the #2 music store on the internet (behind itunes) which is some accomplishment considering the general lack of mainstream music. Despite this there is a wide variety of music available, from Woody Guthrie to Sufjan Stevens and Cat Power. There is a definite weighting towards indie-type bands and an excellent selection of jazz - with many other genres. Mp3 format only (high bitrate VBR). Payment is on a subscription…
