"A week" is through. Finally! Before anything I have to confess that it wasn't actually a week. It was nine days, since i started my week on sunday with the changing of the month, but Last.fm has it's own ideas of how to count weeks, so i had to extend the week for several days. I did this, so that i could have an awesome "Weekly snapshot", which you can see here: http://www.last.fm/user/celer2008/charts?charttype=weekly&subtype=artist&range=254

This experiment has led me to think that you CAN listen to bands only named this way for a longer period, IF you have a very eclectic taste of music. Since I'm more of a hip-hop head, I listened to A Tribe Called Quest more than other bands. I'm not very proud of that, but i did come to find that ATCQ is much better, than I had thought before. It actually sparked an interest to give De La Soul, Boogie Down Productions, 3rd Bass and other old-school conscious acts another try before the year 2010 kicks in.

As i listed all 14 bands like these that i had listened before the "A week" for comparison, I'm now going to generate the list again, to give you a hint of what i went through. This is, as far as i know, the most comprehensive list of these bands. If anyone finds more or even a better list, then please let me know. Before this year is through, I'm going to generate the list again. I would like to do it when six months have passed from the first "A week", but there's no point, since next year i will only listen to next year's albums (I'm a freak like that).

There's also a chance that I'll write a few words about the best discoveries of the "A week" and translate it to english for last.fm
