My year in music.
For much of the year my listening habits have been automagically reported to Last.fm by iTunes. (In fact, I used to list my most recently played tracks on the sidebar of this blog.) Here are, according to Last.fm, my ten top listened-to artists in 2006:
- Bishop Allen
- Dave Matthews Band
- Mike Doughty
- They Might Be Giants
- Lyle Lovett
- Aimee Mann
- Elvis Costello
- Raphael Saadiq
- Richard Hawley
- Iron & Wine
Dave Matthews Band ranks highly, I suspect, because I have so many DMB tracks in iTunes (169 in total) that, when I listen in shuffle, their songs appear really often.
And my top songs:
- Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger
- Aimee Mann – Save Me
- Asheru – For Old Time’s Sake
- Bishop Allen – Butterfly Nets
- Aimee Mann – Wise Up
- Emiliana Torrini – Sunny Road
- Aimee Mann – One
- Jose Gonzalez – Heartbeats
- Modest Mouse – Float On
- Jamie Lidell – Multiply
It’s odd how this compares to what I think I listen to the most. Todd Snider, The Postal Service, Liz Phair, Madeline Peyroux, King Wilkie, Johnny Cash, The Band…I’d have guessed that most of these would have made the list, but clearly not.
