Sat, 3 Nov 2007 10:30:07 +0000

My inability to sleep is problematic.

1. How did you get into 29?

The Beatles: Can't answer

8. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Hey there's two!

9. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy?
Minutemen: Hell fucking yes. If I had to pick one, I'd be boring and say Viet Nam

10. How many times have you seen 25 live?

15. What is a good memory involving 27?
Hey there's two! I'll just call Typical Cats #28

Q and Not U: Probably Fever Sleeves

17. What is your favorite album by 18?

22. What is you favorite song by 8?
Pg.99: I can't choose that at all.

28. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy?
Sufjan Stevens: I haven't listened to him in a really long time, actually. I really can't recall. I know there are a few that make me really sad.

29. What is your favorite album by 4?
Botch: An Anthology of Dead fuckin' Ends

30. How many albums do you own by 20?
American Nightmare: Two. Three if you include Give Up The Ghost.

Tue, 3 Jul 2007 08:15:28 +0000

Did anyone else lose chart data recently? Horse The Band's 320-something listens somehow went down to like 240. Same with Minus the Bear. Did I listen to them each negative 80 times in the last week?

I don't follow the last.fm technical difficulties news, nor do I know where to find out about it, so I have to resort to making confused journal entries in hopes people will answer questions for me.

Arbitrary fun, though completely uninteresting

top artists?

Mon, 8 May 2006 22:13:13 +0000

Anyone know of the overall top artists list is ever going to fucking update? Because the last two weeks I got a serious Boards of Canada groove on, to the point where they should be in my top 5 by now, and they're still in the low top 20. It's really bothering me. The Locust and Deerhoof should really be moving up too and they're just not. Are those two weeks of listening complete lost from last.fm memory except for in my weekly artist charts, or is it going to update eventually?

lol t3h em0z0rzzz

1. Take your top ten artists and get their 'emo rating' If you look on the artist page and then click "Tags" you can see how many times they've been tagged "Emo"

1. Horse The Band - 12
2. Minus the Bear - 48
3. Sufjan Stevens - 32
4. Elliott Smith - 78
5. Les Savy Fav - 17
6. Colossal - 2
7. Q and Not U - 19
8. Radiohead - 69 (you've gotta be fucking kidding me)
9. Cursive - 205 (*sigh*)
10. Mogwai - 16 (once again. what the fuck?)

2. Add them all together and divide by 10 to get the average

49.8

3. Then divide that by the average of the top ten emo artists, which is: 826.8

.0602

4. Multiply your result by 100 to get a percentage

6.02%

That is WAY too fucking high considering none of those bands are emo. I can understand a misguided person thinking Cursive or Minus the Bear is emo, but you have to be stoned out of your goddamned skull to think Radiohead or Mogwai are.
