i've been on this site for almost a year, through multiple profiles, ipod mishaps, and so forth.

Here is a list of my favorite artists this site helped me discover, followed by 1 or 2 favorite songs by them. and maybe a memento of the artist if i'm emotionally attached…

Devendra Banhart
Crazy folk singer, best listening to him in the summer!
At the Hop

Xiu Xiu
I disliked them for a while, but now i appreciate their obscurity. Even had a little obcession/phase
Crank Heart and Save Me Save Me

Elf Power
super Elephant 6!
Owl Cut (white Flowers In The Sky)

The Apples in Stereo
I actually got them on a mix CD, forgot about them until this summer!
Benefits of Lying (With your Friends)

Elliott Smith
who knew he was so popular before i discovered him… never heard a word about him before! i was shocked to learn of his suicide during my phase of listening to him
Lost and Found (Honky Bach)

Panda Bear
wintery, cold, experimental, lalala. got him on limewire, then never used it again!
Ponytail

The Fiery Furnaces
…always played on my radio when i typed in animal collective. They're pretty good.
Tropical Iceland i love the gallowsbird's bark version!

Fleet Foxes'
choir of vegans attack!
Blue Ridge Mountians

Voxtrot
Downloaded on a whim, a lonely EP, but it's great
Long Haul

The Ting Tings
saw a friend listening to them alot, so i thought why not? Turned out to be super poppy, but i can stand them.
Traffic Light is a great song!

Sunset Rubdown
The Mending of the Gown
couldn't get sick of that song if i tried! actually has 50 + plays but last fm was hating me when i went through a phase.

The Magnetic fields
..are OK, but not the best
California Girls is witty and interesting nonetheless

—-Favorite Artists thanks to Last.Fm—–

4. Oh No! Oh My! helped me though my minor depression in the terribly snowy winter. I was yearning to walk in a park so badly, but it was cold and shitty. I also used them for music in a Spanish Video
I love You All The Time

3. Beulah
oh early summer break, how i miss it so much. Mowing the lawn to The Coast is Never Clear was enjoyable. I was hesitant to download them, but i'm glad i did!!
Cruel Minor Change

2. Architecture in Helsinki
the first last.fm discovery i made. Unknown to my profile and Itunes, i want through a giant phase with In Case We Die when i used my old ipod and my computer was broken. I love this band! Spring 2008 has sentimental value to it now.. possibly because this past spring, the spring of 2008, was the worst spring of my life…
Debbie is a fun song

—1—

Jens Lekman
oh how i love jens lekman… witty, great at singing, melodic.. he makes the type of music i want to. His use of old CDs is creative and sounds amazing. I remember playing Kirby Air Ride to this guy, an extremely strange combination, but oh well. and he's swedish, as am I. gotta show prode in herritage!
I saw Her In the Anti-War Demonstration is amazing, but Into Eternity is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I've had my ups and many downs with this defective site, but i'm glad i use it. Boredom repellent.
