Was surprised to see guided by voices so high but then I remembered their albums have about 30 songs and all last 47 seconds so not so much of a surprise.

Have now installed a piece of software so that when i'm listening to FLACs at home through my linn streaming device, the plays are being scrobbled to lastfm

All my previous plays were only from when i was in my car using my ipod (which is where I listen to most of my music tbh). Nothing can stop me now, can't wait to hit a million plays.

15 SBTRKT 9
16 Parliament 8
16 LCD Soundsystem 8

not a massive amount this week, too much going out.

To see your dream become such a reality really touches my heart Daniel

It's probably best we didn't have Lastfm 10 years ago, Wonderland alone would have 22,000 plays on mine.

last 12 months- surprised by my list; i'm still not convinced by last fm's accuracy- action bronson and janelle monae should be way higher, and atlas sound should be in the top 50 too

What did you make of that style council comp kev?

It was OK, I know all the big singles anyway (Wasn't hugely keen on the version of My Ever Changing Moods on there), it didn't really jump out and grab me, but I've only had one listen through so i'll give it some time first.

A lot of Galaxie 500 this week, a fucking incredible band, that never seem to get any love on here.

I quite like On Fire by them though Today I think is really dull. I've never understood the appeal of that record.
