My Music Listening Habbits for 2024

My Music Listening Habbits for 2024

I have to admit, this is my own personal favorite post for each year, even if no one else cares. Q look back on my music listening for the year, and how it has, or has not changed or evolved, and a round of trying to make predictions, and then working to not make those predictions self fulfilling in some weird attempt to not be wrong about my predictions. Anyway, lets get it going then, with the 5x5 for albums. Unsurprisingly, Aurora's What Happened to the Heart was my most listened to album. And this doesn't even count time spent…
Spotify Wrapped 2024

Spotify Wrapped 2024

I usually do a more detailed music post just after the new year based on my Last.fm, which is more reliable, but today is Spotify Wrapped Day, so I figured I'd share them here, for posterity. Not much surprising here, other than somehow I have two Lauren Mayberry tracks at my top two tracks, and she isn't in my Top 5 artists list. I am also a bit surprised that Sigrid is still there. I feel like I hardly listen to Sigrid but I seem to, a lot. It'll be a fun little test on Lauren though because the album…

My Music Listening Habits for 2023

It's that time again, when I discuss my music habits for the year, or at least, parts of it that seem interesting, to me. I'll just start off with the 5x5 chart, from my Last.fm scrobbles. I had some Spotify Wrapped stuff too but it doesn't capture everything and was only for like 3 months of listening, so it's kind of worthless. So, a bit of an interesting surprise, Wolf Alice's Blue Weekend was my top album for the year. I guess I was listening to that one a lot more than I really thought I had been. The same…
The Annual Playlist for 2023

The Annual Playlist for 2023

A few years ago, I was sorting through some older music, and came across old Mix Tapes and CD-Rs.  It's really fun because unlike digital music, these are essentially static playlists.  This is a window into what I was listening to at that time.  And no, you didn't misread that, Mix Tapes.  and they were mostly from the 90s era.  My first car didn't have a CD player, it just had a cassette deck.  Teenage me would regularly visit the local library and check out a variety of CDs, then spend the week picking out my favorite tracks and recording…
My Music Listening Habits for 2022

My Music Listening Habits for 2022

It's that time again, when I ramble on about what I've been listening to this year.  I don't use Spotify so I don't have a "cool kids" wrap up to share.  Instead you get this!  A blog post!  And some little 5x5 charts made from my Last.fm.  I kind of prefer starting on Artists over Albums, so without further ado, the top 25 for 2022.  Which unsurprisingly, is relatively similar to my previous years. In a surprise to literally no one, including myself, my top 3 are pretty much the same as they have been for a while.  Aurora, CHVRCHES,…
