1. Tool (108 Plays)
Hahaha. Oops. Something about a leak? Yeah, that caused this. That and listening to said leak about a dozen times (counting the plays on my discman). Also, listening to all of their other albums at least once (except Opiate because I don't like it).
This has sort of rekindled my love of Tool. It's always there, but damn if I don't have a lot of music that I listen to on my computer.
I'll be buying 10,000 days the day it comes out, in case anyone was wondering.

2. Mogwai (52 Plays)
Wow, my number one…

1.) Tom Waits (70 Plays)
This week was where I decided to try to listen to some bands and artists I hadn't listened to in a long time.
First up to bat was Mr. Tom Waits, the man with the amazing voice. Seriously. Most unique and awesome singing voice in my collection. Sorry to anyone that thinks otherwise, but his voice grabs my attention. It is so recognizeable, and distinct, that even when I don't expect it, I can tell it's his. Case in point: the movie Jarhead head "Soldier's Things" at the end of it. Heck, at the time…

I'm doing this to waste time, while trying to write a term paper. Go me.
Mark 2 because I'm a moron and hit "post journal entry" when I was on number six. D'Oh.

1.) Mogwai (50 Plays)
No huge surprise here. I love Mogwai. So incredible, and so full of power. They are steadily gaining on the number one spot on my chart. At this moment only behind by about 150 plays.
This week was also the week where
I Know You Are but What Am I? gained the top spot on my track charts. It's definately my favourite song.…

Yes, it's another Meme. I know they're annoying. I wasn't going to do it until I got the first answer. I laughed really hard and decided to do it.

How does the world see me?
Song: Money
Artist: Pink Floyd
Comments: Oh bwahahaha. Yeah right.

Will I have a happy life?
Song: Blue Skies over Bad Lands
Artist: Matthew Good
Comments: Well…That's a little bit odd. I guess that could be good?

What do my friends really think of me?
Song: Waltz for Aidan
Artist: Mogwai
Comments: What. I like Mogwai, and so do my friends. So I guess that's…

According to me, as of right now.

Modest Mouse are really helping me out. Heh, the nice mixture of funny, strange lyrics, and the heartwrenching ones are helping in their own painful way.

Nine Inch Nails, did this last time (read: last year), so I'll probably have them rise the charts again. Maybe they'll reach number one again.

Skinny Puppy. Wooo boy. I'm gonna be going through an angry stage pretty quickly. I give it about twelve hours before that hits me.

The Tea Party are my ultimate. They've done a lot in the past, so they better…

I've noticed something odd this week. I've been playing my music collection on random.

What I've seen is that, my music collection is not reflected in my charts. Far from it.
I have way more Modest Mouse than my charts would show. Although, Mogwai seem to be about where they should be.

Further, I've found that there are certain bands I miss.
The Tea Party for example. I got really, really pissed off and stopped listening to them, when they cancelled their last tour (the first one I was able to get tickets to in the almost seven years I've…

Yeah, saw this in a recommended reading thing, so i thought i'd do it.

So, it would seem that a year ago I made the choice to join what was then Audioscrobbler, now mostly known as last.fm. At today I have 15,215 tracks played.

Overall, I've seen some interesting choices at the top of my charts.
As of today I have reached over 1000 plays of my current number one Jakalope, and I still have over 700 plays on my former number one Nine Inch Nails. Current number two, Lunik have stormed my charts more so than most of my favourite groups.

Roughly a year ago my top artists were dominated by…

Over the last little while I've found myself becoming more and more fascinated by the post-rock movement. I find it amazing that while I've been fumbling about looking for music that I can truly admire and even love, this form of music has been evolving from everywhere.

My first introduction to this idea was through Mogwai, and I originally couldn't stand to listen to them. Happy Songs For Happy People changed that. From there, I started the slightest look into other post-rock work. Since then Mogwai have found a place in my top five played artists.
Explosions in the…

Jeff Buckley. There got the tag out of the way.

I've sat here, with this CD of his (Grace) sitting on my disc. Tonight I've finally put it on. I'd heard it once or twice…It didn't hit me until tonight though…

*sigh*

So amazing…So beautiful…:(
I bought this album for Hallelujah (BEFORE it was on the O.C. thank you very much…Also found out that he actually lived in Orange County, thanks Wikipedia), and yet there is so much more to this album.
Gorgeous lyrics, amazing music, and Jeff's heavenly voice…So sad that things had to happen the…
