My Music Listening Habits for 2025

Its that time of year, when everything rolls over and everyone does wrap up and summary posts. I have done my music wrap up every year for a while now. I did it monthly for a bit but it didn't change enough to be interesting to write about. Hell, it honestly doesn't change much to be interesting annually. It was kind of a big year for buying CDs for me, though not necessarily listening to them. CDs are plentiful on the secondary market, and are easily digitized. I also went and ID tagged all my music, which will be useful…
Twenty Years of Last.fm

Twenty Years of Last.fm

So this is a bit of an estimate, because there are several pages of songs listed as "Unknown Date". I'm not sure how that happens, but looking at my Scrobble History on last.fm, my first Scrobble was on June 8th, 2005, with the track "Katamari on the Rock" by 三宅優. That would be, the main theme to Katamari Damacy. I can actually see that being my first Scrobble. Afterwards I apparently rolled (aye, get it) into the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop. Anyway, I've not been super consistent over the years, a lot of my listening has happened in the last…

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

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…
