Upon Having Reached My Third Year of Le Scrobbling

Out 23 2009, 22h02 por zvirblis

Here I am, once again. Today my profile turns 3 years old. It's been a decently big year for listening. I reached the big 50,000 tracks played, which was exciting. I finally got my songs per day average to 50, after it hovering in the 40s for a long time. Of course, then it dropped drastically over the summer when I didn't listen to much of anything. But now I'm going big again. So, let's see where my charts are.

They Might Be Giants 3,673
The Beatles 3,441
Mike Oldfield 1,843
Gorillaz 1,772
Fountains of Wayne 1,356
Queen 1,206
Dong Bang Shin Ki 1,107
The Alan Parsons Project 1,062
The Killers 1,003
Michelle Branch 982
Vanessa Carlton 883
Yoshihisa Hirano and Hideki Taniuchi 832
Simon & Garfunkel 826
Coldplay 782
Paul McCartney 778
Beck 773
KT Tunstall 773
The Presidents of the United States of America 762
Blur 727
Gabriel Mann 681
The Beach Boys 656
Elton John 650
Geri X 645
"Weird Al" Yankovic 629
Donovan 614
Billy Joel 538
tvxq 530
John Williams 460
The Rocket Summer 434
The Offspring 433
Daft Punk 428
Sean Lennon 416
The Cranberries 395
Michael Jackson 385
Scissor Sisters 355
Mannheim Steamroller 349
The Brian Setzer Orchestra 338
Imogen Heap 320
John Linnell 305
Mono Puff 287
Koji Kondo 277
Koji Kondo, Yoshiko Kawamoto 272
Creedence Clearwater Revival 268
Herman's Hermits 250
Bow Wow Wow 245
Cirque du Soleil 242
super smash bros. brawl 239
The B-52's 238
Paul McCartney & Wings 238
O-Zone 236

So, there you have them. My charts as of today, though more music is playing on my iPod right now, which will undoubtedly cause this to be out of date by the time I publish it. So, who was big this year? Who's on the rise, who's falling, and who stayed the same?

Well, first off, TMBG asserted their place as first quite dominantly, as opposed to when they and The Beatles were neck and neck. The Beatles still got 1,000+ plays though, so they were not neglected. Gorillaz also had another solid year. Fountains of Wayne had a big year, and rose up a few spots, not a small feat for someone in the top 10 of my charts. Queen moved up as well.

The two biggest new additions are The Offspring and Daft Punk. While they were both in my charts a year ago, their presence was negligible. Now, they both have 400+ plays. Both are amazing. Daft Punk's Discovery is my album of the year, without a doubt.

PUSA also moved up a good bit, and deservedly so, as they were not receiving enough attention in the past from me. The Beach Boys and Billy Joel also made some moves. Nice

Bow Wow Wow rocketed up, since I finally listened to the music of theirs I had besides I Want Candy, and realized I liked it. Yay. Also, a welcome to the B-52's, who are fun times.

So, who is making big moves outside of my top 50? Well, Owl City will probably be there soon enough. It seems I can't get enough of it. Also, Yui is fun. Nice mellow j-pop-rock is fun. Men At Work and Colin Hay are looking at making their moves into the charts soon. Oh, also Susumu Hirasawa, with the soundtrack to Paprika, has made his presence felt. No doubt about it, some of these artists will be in my charts next year. O-Zone is on the way out, as is the SSB:Brawl soundtrack. Herman's Hermits just doesn't have what it takes to really compete with any real competition either, given the small number of their songs I have. But only time will tell.

That's it for now. My charts are pretty nice. They've settled somewhat into what they'll sort of look like for the predictable future. The top 10 won't change too much, the next 20 may shift around, but will have most of the same members. But things aren't so defined that they can't move at all, and that's why watching the charts is still fun. I'll see you in a year!

Shuffle Survey

Abr 8 2009, 4h30 por allyson_

I am actually going to listen to these songs as they come. Because who wants to go to sleep when they could be doing a shuffle survey? Sheesh.

How does the world see me?
Song: Fool in the Rain
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Comments: AWESOME! Fitting, too, as Rhiannon just told me today that I am not someone who is "mainstream". The title of this song would suggest that, suppose :)

What will I dream about tonight?
Song: Alanson, Crooked River
Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Comments: Dreaming tonight of a river, a la Pochahontas?

Will I have a happy life?
Song: Don't Look Down
Artist: Guillemots
Comments: Take on the world/Take up your act/Take out your violence on the sun ... You're a speck of dust/I'm a speck of dust/One day we'll fall on everyone

What do my friends really think of me?
Song: Good Day Sunshine
Artist: The Beatles
Comments: They like to laugh and take walks with me, and I am generally good at cheering them up? And they love me? That's what I'm going to infer from this one.

Do people secretly lust after me?
Song: L.a
Artist: Elliott Smith
Comments: Okay, dissecting the lyrics for the meaning behind this one.
People will lust for me if I start a band? Or if I am walking in the sun, living in the day? Alright, then.

What's under my bed?
Song: If You Were Coming In The Fall
Artist: Carla Bruni
Comments: EMILY DICKINSON IS UNDER MY BEDDDDD. I kid, I kid. This song references a goblin...maybe a goblin?

What will happen to me in one month?
Song: Carry That Weight
Artist: The Beatles
Comments: Okay, so I will be cleaning out my basement. Or carrying some sort of burden, whether it be mental/emotional/whatever? Bad times.

How can I make myself happy?
Song: Bret, You Got It Going On
Artist: Flight of the Conchords
Comments: Okay, well, this song does make me happy. Also, having self-esteem makes me happy! So this is perfectly fitting.

What should I do with my life?
Song: (first try I got a Piano Sonata. Second try, 2112. Third try, Opus 22) Candle In The Wind
Artist: Elton John
Comments: it seems to me you've lived your life like a candle in the wind/never fading with the sunset when the rain set in/and your footsteps will always fall here, among England's greenest hills Also, you called out to your country, and you whispered to those in pain. Interesting food for thought.

Why should life be full of so much pain?
Song: Fool rush in
Artist: Bow Wow Wow
Comments: Wow, this is EXTREMELY fitting!

How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Song: Free Man in Paris
Artist: Sufjan Stevens (his cover of a Joni Mitchell song)
Comments: Hahahahahahha. I am going to share this answer with Kayla right now on MSN.

Will I ever have children?
Song: I Miss You
Artist: Björk
Comments: I miss you but I haven't met you yet/So special, but it hasn't happened yet/You are gorgeous, but I haven't met you yet/I remember, but it hasn't happened yet

HOLY MOLY. Those lyrics fit perfectly!

Will I die happy?
Song: Lucky ft. Colbie Caillat
Artist: Jason Mraz
Comments: Yes, because I am lucky. Awwww! =D

What is some good advice for me?
Song: We Both Reached for the Gun
Artist: chicago soundtrack
Comments: Uh oh.....

What will cause me the most pain there is?
Song: Semi-Charmed Life
Artist: Third Eye Blind
Comments: I will become a crystal meth addict like the lead singer of this band? Maybe drugs in general? Or maybe just the fact that my life is semi-charmed? Who knows.

What is happiness?
Song: More Than Words
Artist: Westlife
Comments: It's more than words, it's more than what you say/It's the things you do Cool =) It's like part of that quote by Mark Twain that I used in my yearbook grad statement, "20 years from now you will regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do..."

What is my favorite fetish?
Song: Warrior
Artist: Thin Lizzy
Comments: hahaha, dressing up in unifoms? Is that what this is trying to tell me? That I secretly have a role-playing fetish?

What is my biggest secret?
Song: Prospekts March/Poppyfields
Artist: Coldplay
Comments: I am secretly an opium kingpin? Or maybe don't you wish that life could be as simple as fish swimming 'round in a barrel/when you've got the gun That could be it - sometimes I really wish life would be as simple/easy as I think it might be, deep down....hrmm..

What’s the worst thing that will ever happen to me?
Song: Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois
Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Comments: I WILL BE ABDUCTED BY ALIENS. So let's see...I am going to be a crystal-meth addicted, unsafe-sex having, alien abductee. Greaaaaat.

How will I be remembered?
Song: Eyes On Fire
Artist: Blue Foundation
Comments: I am going to be remembered as that girl who's eyes were on fire.

Save us, save us allllllll!

March Music

Abr 3 2009, 12h14 por sunhill67

Favourites from the month of March

Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet - Taiyang Chulai
Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet - Great Big Wall In China
A couple of tracks from a great album that came out late last year. Would have made my top 10 if I'd heard about it. These are Bluegrass covers of Chinese folk songs - not something I would think would work but they do perfectly.

Sufjan Stevens - You Are The Blood
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Inspiration Information
Two of the best tracks from a very good charity compilation Dark Was The Night that also features standout tracks from My Brightest Diamond, The New Pornographers, Yeasayer and a great duet between Conor Oberst and Gillian Welch.

Mahotella Queens - Umculo Kawupheli (No End To Music)
Came across this on a Youtube clip posted on a blog. Being a big Bow Wow Wow fan I was enlightened to see that their See Jungle track is a note for note cover of this. Both are excellent.

Muhsinah - Only and Always
Dreamy, woozy soul-pop from a young singer who has also sung with The Foreign Exchange.

The Fall - Senior Twilight Stock Replacer
Classic, driving, repetitive Fall. Always the same, always different.

Peter Broderick - A Glacier
From Float, one of his two albums from last year (also Home). Both of these albums have very much grown on me since I first heard them a month or so ago. Another strike for the excellent Bella Union label. See also Sara Lov below.

Sara Lov - Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming
From her new album of the same name. Clear voice with an interesting catch in it.

Oumou Sangare - Kounadya
One of my favourite tracks from her new album Seya. Very summery.

A Camp - Golden Teeth and Silver Medals
Another great Scandanavian pop album this time from ex-Cardigans Nina Persson. This track is a lushly produced duet with Nicolai Dunger.

Summer songs ... add a song!

Mar 18 2009, 15h58 por RedDeath

Summeerrraaahhh is coming!

A last.fm playlist for this list so far can be found here!

In May 2006 I posted a journal entry to start a list of great summer songs (or see list below).

You know the type, glorious songs that celebrate the sun, the fun, the adventure, the love, the drinking, the new friends, the lazing, the bathing, the sweating and the sheer joy you get when the sun decides to show it's bloody face!

Now, March 2009 in London town the weather is once again starting to shine and I'm getting in a SPRING kind of mood, which reminded me of this list!

Since 3 years have passed there are plenty of great songs over this time that could be added to this list! Also, revising this one I made ... err ... I think my tastes have moved on a little, so some will have to go! (Sugar Ray?!)

I'm slowly going to add new tracks. Get involved!!

New additions (so far!)
Let Your Love Flow - The Bellamy Brothers
Caring Is Creepy - The Shins
Kids - MGMT
.......Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club
.......A-Punk - Vampire Weekend
.......Chicago - Sufjan Stevens (actually most of his stuff is perfect!)
.......Absence Heard, Presence Felt - Quantic
Happy Up Here - Röyksopp
Bongo Bong - Manu Chao
.......Always Like This - Bombay Bicycle Club
.......Tonight's Today - Jack Peñate
............ Needs more jazz, urban, soul, blues!!!! Or just the whole of Koop!

Original list of 2006:
Island In The Sun - Weezer (my favourite summer song!)
Uptown Top Ranking - Althea & Donna
Battle of Who Could Care Less - Ben Folds Five
No Rain - Blind Melon
Kicked it in the Sun - Built To Spill
Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield
Summer Skin - Death Cab For Cutie
Mr. E's Beautiful Blues - Eels
Build Me Up Buttercup - Foundations
Let Go - Frou Frou
Hands Of Time - Groove Armada
Malibu - Hole
Heartbeats - José González (or the original Knife version)

The Unlikely Cross Cultural Impact of Malcolm McLaren

Jan 29 2009, 3h18 por dvoodoo

I recently contributed some additional info and tags to the Malcolm McLaren wiki bio here at Last.fm. Since the man has always had an interesting career in my opinion and has played a key role in several of my all time fave music groups, I thought I'd repost the new wiki entry here.

Since his birth, just after the end of WWII, Malcolm McLaren (born on January 22nd, 1946 in London England) has had a varied, if not altogether unlikely cross cultural career.

He began as an Art School dropout and late 60's campus radical before becoming a Kings Row merchant, moving into band management, and roles as socio-political instigator, quasi-musician himself, wry social commentator & influential media manipulator.

In the late 1960s he started designing clothes and by 1972 he opened a clothing boutique in London with his then girlfriend, Vivienne Westwood.

In 1975, after a failed stint at managing & relaunching the image of the notoriously hard living and chaotic band The New York Dolls, Malcolm nurtered the formation of one of the most infamous punk bands in history, The Sex Pistols. He became their manager, and controlled their contracts, as well as most importantly to him, their image in the media. The venture ended in a disastrous US tour, and a film called "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" that featured McLaren, and glorified his untraditional Situationist PR approach and manipulative Svengali-esque role in the band's career.

In the '80s, after The Sex Pistols had long broken up, Malcolm became the manager of another band, Adam and the Ants which veered away from punk's coarse format via new romantic pirate garb and poly rhythmic African style drumming. When Adam Ant rebelled and left the band, Malcolm repackaged the musicians with a 14 year old Anglo/Burmese girl named Annabella Lwin to form the band Bow Wow Wow. He soon used his headline making skills to propel the band and their underage lead singer to the top of the charts with a nude album cover scandal.

In the early 1980's, Malcolm began producing his own records, beginning with the hits "Buffalo Gals" and "Double Dutch" from the groundbreaking 1983 album "Duck Walk" which used NYC hip hoppers and scratch DJ's The World Famous Supreme Team, as it's foundation. He next turned to opera, masterminding a pop adaptation of "Madam Butterfly" on the album "Fans" using an assortment of female vocalists, and skilled musician Robby Kilgore on the tracks.

McLaren has released numerous other albums and tracks since, including efforts that took influences from classical, asian and european influences. Contributions to the movie soundtracks included Carry On Columbus, No Small Affair and Kill Bill 2, but his musical career peaked with his 1980's works. McLaren's original "Double Dutch" era material has since been reappropriated and sampled by successful newer artists including Mariah Carey ( Honey ), Eminem ( Without Me ), Amerie ( Some Like It )and De La Soul.

McLaren, now in is 60's, has occasionally contributed to newspapers and magazines, directed and produced films and radio shows, as well as appeared on British reality television programmes.
