My Music Listening Habits for 2021

It's time again for my new favorite annual tradition here (until it isn't), my music listening habits for the year. Not a lot of new this year, I'll admit that. Though I sometimes wonder if part of that is that some artists and albums get sort of lost int he sauce of over listening to some of my favorite artists. Anyway onto the break down, I'll split up artists and albums even though they kind of parallel each other. Artists The biggest movers this year were Aurora and CHVRCHES in the number two and number one spot. CHVRCHES has a…

My Music Listening Habits for 2020

Yeah, those monthly updates were kind of bleh, so I dumped them. But I still want to do a yearly wrap up. Though overall there isn't a lot that's surprising to me about the yearly stats. The year was dominated by most of the artists I would expect it to be dominated by. Sigrid, Tessa Violet, Aurora, CHVRCHES have 14 of my top 25 albums. This grid doesn't even include a few additional Sigrid "Albums" of live tracks that don't properly show up so they get filtered. Anyway, a bit better breakdown... I am actually surprised that Sigrid still topped…

My Music Listening Habits for April 2020

Well, it finally happened. After a very long, very strong, 9 month reign as Queen, Sigrid has been dethroned from my top artist for the month. And by a rather huge margin. Funny enough, she has been dethroned by someone she knows, who is also a Norwegian singer, AURORA. It was a one-two punch though, because Sigrid has dropped to number three, not number two, with Tessa Violet sliding in at number two. I can't honestly blame the VierLive show entirely for Aurora's rise here, she has been on sort of a slow bubble for a while now in my…

My Music Listening Habits for March 2020

So, not a particularly exciting month in Music. Despite actual effort on my part, Sigrid still tops the chart by a large margin. Tessa Violet comes in second. I actually watched both of these artists doing online live(ish) shows due to the Corona-virus. Though the Sigrid segment of the Twitch Stream event was pre recorded and not actually live. Tessa Violet has been doing some live shows on Youtube. The soundtracks for Gris and Journey both make a return. They are both pretty similar in feel and are really great for "general distraction free listening". Lindsey Sterling also falls into…

My Music Listening Habits for February 2020

Not a whole ton that's overly exciting this month. I did listen to quite a bit of BT, whom is one of my all time favorite artists, even if my time listening to his stuff comes and goes. I think there was a bit of earlier stuff that I didn't associate as being BT that I liked, but I remember that Never Gonna Come Back Down was the track that really got me into listening to more of BT's music. It was on the soundtrack for Gone in 60 Seconds. In the actual movie, they play this really neat super…
