March to the beat of your own drummer?

1) Take your top 10 played tracks.
2) Check the artists' page to see what # in popularity that song is.
3) Add it all up. The higher you score above 150, the more unique music you listen to. If you score less than 150, you just listen to what's popular.

Bella – Oceans Blue #20
6 Day Riot – Emmanuel #13
Midnight Juggernauts – Road To Recovery #4
Rob Dougan – Clubbed To Death [Kuryayamino Variation] #4
30 Seconds to Mars – The Kill #3
Lolita Ritmanis – Justice League Theme #5
Shirley Walker – Batman: The Animated Series Theme #72
Adam Panic – Buy Me Out #1
Linkin Park – [[MyShuntaro Okino – Cloud Age Symphony #1

Total = 188

Well, I like that this does measure whether you just listen to one hit wonders, but I think that some of these artists (Adam Panic) are so obscure that all their songs are tied for #1. Me only scoring one for Adam Panic seems to be counter to the point of this quiz.

How mainstream Am I?

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:32:44 +0000

Step One: List your top twenty five most scrobbled artists and the total number of listeners for each.

9. Linkin Park (1,412,388)
25. The Smashing Pumpkins (1,329,678)
7. Fall Out Boy (1,064,738)
21. The Chemical Brothers (1,061,558)
3. Queens of the Stone Age (1,027,727)
4. Incubus (1,252,850)
8. The Prodigy (967,268)
18. Fiona Apple (669,819)
22. Yann Tiersen (548,355)
2. Smash Mouth (427,428)
15. Eve 6 (327,934)
16. Saliva (327,243)
14. Filter (258,886)
13. Matchbook Romance (257,586)
5. Michael Andrews (212,307)
11. David Holmes (153,681)
19. Olive (141,388)
6. A Guy Called Gerald (81,747)
10. The Blanks (8,371)
12. Skybox (4,044)
23. Little Compass (255)
1. Andrew Pants (108)
20. Ember Coast (91)
17. Runaway Diamonds (90)
24. Supafloss (80)

Step Two: Calculate the average (Total divided by 25).

Average: 461,425

Step Three: Divide this figure by the total number of listeners for the top scrobbled artist on Last.fm.

Top artist: Coldplay (2,325,449)
Mainstream Percentage: 19.84%

This is obviously due to the pathetically small listener numbers for those no-name bands I love so much. Again, this would be more accurate using my Last Week top bands, as that's more reflective of my actual listening habits.

Musical Variety

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:03:54 +0000

First, make a list of your overall top 25 artists. Then, for each of these artists, add the 3 most similar artists to your list. Delete all instances of bands that come up more than once, add up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A low score represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a max 100 represents an extremely varied one.

That's only 6 duplicates! I scored 94% varied! I think these bands really don't represent what I listened to all the time, though, just what's been in my library longest. Maybe I'll do it again with my "Last Week" bands.

Arbitrary 40 Questions

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:11:42 +0000

01. How did you get into #31?
Batter the Drag - This is one of many Flying Blanket Studios artists Kate and I adore. This one she had to convince me of, though. It wasn't instant love.

02. What was the first song you ever heard by #22?
Yann Tiersen Whatever is the first song in Amelie, such a beautiful movie, and what amazing music. The whole CD makes you feel warm and fuzzy while driving.

03. What's your favorite lyric by #41?
The Minibosses Not only do they not sing, but they're really not a great love of mine. They're just one of the first CDs I added, so their longevity helps their numbers.

04. What is your favorite album by #49?
The Huskies only have the one album, The Good Fight

05. How many albums by #13 do you own?
Matchbook Romance - Voices is the only one that I own. I haven't heard any of their other stuff, but I should, since I love Voices so much.

06. What is your favorite song by #50?
MC Frontalot has so many good ones... Braggadocio, Floating Bridge, Yellow Lasers... but my favorite will always be Crime Spree, the original version with the unauthorized samples.

07. Is there a song by #4 that makes you sad?
Incubus (my favorite band, despite their ranking) has a couple of mournful songs, but the ones that get me most are Pardon Me (they mention being 23, so now that I'm older it stings), Wish You Were Here (any time Kate's out of town), and Nowhere Fast (reminds me of missed opportunities from my college days)

08. What is your least favorite song by #15?
Eve 6 Actually, most of their stuff is kinda mediocre. Jesus Nitelite is particularly lame, as you can tell by the title.

09. What is your favorite song by #5?
Michael Andrews - Slipping Away incorporates both the beauty and the creepy parts from Donnie Darko in one track.

10. Is there a song by #6 that makes you happy?
A Guy Called Gerald is kinda downtempo... not really cheery, not really sad either.

11. What is your favorite album by #40?
Shiny Toy Guns - We Are Pilots is the only one of theirs I've heard. I don't have multiple albums from a lot of people.

12. What is your favorite song by #10?
The Blanks Again, longevity helps their numbers, but they have some pretty good songs. It's a close race between Happy Halloween and Commandos (Attack!), both of which use the same clever gimmick.

13. What is a good memory you have involving #33?
My Chemical Romance When I wasn't ostracized by as many people as I thought I would be for liking them.

14. What is your favorite song by #37?
Staind Both It's Been Awhile and Outside are high school radio classics.

15. Is there a song by #19 that makes you happy?
Olive is again downtempo, though to a lesser extent. Do a lot of people get happy from their music?

16. How many times have you seen #24 live?
Supafloss I don't like live music, though on rare occasions I can be dragged to little shows. I dunno if I could handle a whole evening of Supafloss, though.

17. What is the first song you heard by #23?
Little Compass is a Flying Blanket Studios artist that Kate has always loved, and through constant repetition of Risky Business she got me to love that one song. Having the whole album for a while now, I've slowly warmed up to the rest of their stuff too.

18. What is your favorite album by #11?
David Holmes - Ocean's Thirteen Again, the only album I've heard, and I wouldn't call it a favorite.

19. Who is your favorite member of #1?
Andrew Pants is a one man genius all on his own. So Andrew Pants is my favorite member of Andrew Pants.

20. How many times have you seen #14 live?
Filter I can't picture a scenario that would get me to a Filter concert.

21. What is a good memory you have involving #45?
Blaqk Audio I recently made a friend who is a fan, but she ended up not being my roommate. So it's not a happy memory after all.

22. What is your favorite song by #16?
Saliva The one song they're most famous for: Alive

23. What is the first song you heard by #47?
t.A.T.u. Who knows? Whichever of their massively overplayed radio hits I heard first.

24. What is your favorite album by #3?
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf See? Even my #3 I only have one album of.

25. What is your favorite song by #18?
Fiona Apple Oh man. Her whole When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King... album is near perfection. On The Bound, Limp, Paper Bag, A Mistake, Fast As You Can, Get Gone...

26. What is the first song you heard by #38?
Clearlake I had and loved Widescreen for about a year before I bothered to look up the rest of their music, and the way I'm addicted to it, Clearlake will be a lot higher than #38 soon.

27. What is your favourite lyric that #21 has sung?
The Chemical Brothers This quiz keeps choosing particularly wordless artists. I think my favorite vocal sample of theirs is on Under the Influence

28. What is your favourite song by #2?
Smash Mouth Who owes a LOT of listens to their longevity in my library, has a beautiful rarely heard song: Waste.

29. What is the first song you heard by #32?
Shirley Walker Of course, the amazingly perfect Batman: The Animated Series Theme

30. What is your favorite song by #8?
The Prodigy Probably Smack My Bitch Up thanks to it's awesome use in Charlie's Angels.

31. How many times have you seen #17 live?
Runaway Diamonds Never, but I would actually go to see them live. Not that I'd be able to stop Kate from taking me even if I didn't want to.

32. Is there a song by #44 that makes you happy?
ohGr Just about the angriest music in my library, so no.

33. What is your favorite album by #12?
Skybox - Arco Iris Again, their only album that I know of. It is pretty great, though.

34. What is the worst song by #29?
Apartment 26 Wow, they're pretty much a two hit wonder for me. They've got a particularly crap song, Evils, meant to be an interlude I think.

35. What was the first song you heard by #34?
Dear and the Headlights Something Kate played for me over and over, probably. That girl has a good ear, though. I love these guys now.

36. What is your favorite album by #42?
AFI Finaly someone I can actually answer thsi question for. DECEMBERUNDERGROUND

37. How many times have you seen #39 live?
Tinfed I'd be surprised if they ever did a show within 500 miles of me during the short time they played music.

38. What is your favorite album by #36?
Grant Kirkhope does video game music, so he doesn't get albums.

39. What is the first song you heard by #28?
bôa - Duvet The theme for Lain caught my attention far more than the anime ever did.

40. What is your favorite album by #7?
Fall Out Boy None in particular. Each has a few good songs, each has a few disappointments.

"Daria"'s theme was "You're Standing On My Neck" by Splendora; The "Boston Legal" theme song (no other title) is from Billy Valentine & Danny Lux; "Ally McBeal" ("Searchin' My Soul") is Vonda Shepard (who eventually became a regular guest). George Aliceson Tipton gave us the themes from "Soap" & "Benson" & both themes from "Lost In Space" are courtesy of John Williams (billed back then as "Johnny"). The Murmurs were not the original performers of "H.R.Puf 'N' Stuf". This was from a tribute album of Saturday Morning TV themes. I can't find confirmation of the original performers. Also, The Monkees Theme is performed by Boyce & Hart's band, The Candy Store Prophets. The "Grounded For Life" theme (again, no other title--at least that I know of) is by Ben Vaughan & Ween. The "Just Say Julie" theme is, I think, by The Usual Suspects.
This site is quite remarkable. I've been trying to determine if the theme from the old show, "Real People", is a march by John Philip Sousa. It sounds like it should be, but I can't find anything about this. Can you help?
prison break is by composer Ramin Djwadi, and private practice is What i've Done by Until June
