Ooh, it feels good to whip out an FRT. Yes, I blogged this before I actually left for San Jose, but I’m hoping I at least get a mimosa up in that blogger con.
A further note: Jill has asked me to guest blog while she takes off a few weeks to *drumroll* travel Europe. I know. I feel the same way.
1) Mount Sims – No Yellow Lines
2) Lou Reed – Take a Walk on the Wild Side (which inevitably makes me think of Marky Mark)
3) Josh Martinez – Just a Dood
4) Nouvelle Vague – A Forest (The Cure cover)
5) Edith Frost – Hear My Heart
6) Butthole Surfers – Hurdy Gurdy Man (Donovan cover that was featured on, I believe, the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack)
7) T-Rex – Cosmic Dancer
8) The Magnetic Fields – When You’re Old and Lonely
9) Superwolf (Bonnie “Prince” Billy) – Ignition (R. Kelly cover, and very amusing)
10) Gogol Bordello – Let’s Get Radical
Also, my friend JC sent me this awful and addictive website that tracks your listening habits and suggests music that you may be interested in. So far it insists that I’m really into drum & bass, although 75% of the music on my hard drive probably falls under rockabilly, glam, indie, or punk rock. Go figure.
In any case, you can check out the most popular tracks for a person’s week, or their most played artists, like so:
The patterns it tracks tend to be more dependent on the random function of my mp3 player than what I actually prefer to listen to. Then again I’m the kind of computer user that loads up the entire playlist and lets it go, skipping what I’m not interested in listening to at the time.
