How time flies... seven months after the 20,000 tracks post, and now up to 40,000. Approx 2850 tracks per month (up from 2000), tracks a month, approx 95 per day (up from 67). Guess I've been at my computer a lot more this year...

My top 10 bands now look like this:

10. (down from 4) The Pentangle

9. (down from 7) The Libertines

7=. (up from 9) The Beatles

7=. (down from 5) Green Day

6. (up from 10) The Futureheads

5. (new entry) Sandy Denny

4. (down from 3) Lush

3. (up from 6) The Go! Team

2. (unchanged) Yann Tiersen

1. (unchanged) Zero 7

No more Simon & Garfunkel in the top 10, and much less Pentangle, but a whole lot of recently discovered Sandy Denny to replace that folk gap... and the recently released Go! Team album Proof of Youth has meant I've been listening to them in ever increasing amounts.

Bubbling under and possibly to make an appearance in the 60,000 tracks top 10:

High Contrast
E-Z Rollers
Roni Size

3 loosely drum'n'bass artists who all make clever, melodic music that is perfect working music...

Now that I have played 10 thousand tracks, it seems a good occasion to write my first journal.

A good thing to write in a first journal is a summary of my musical taste, especially when 10,000 songs have been scrobbled. For me, a good way is to give a top 20 of my favourite artists.

So here we go:

01. Lostprophets
02. Linkin Park
03. E-Z Rollers
04. Limp Bizkit
05. The Prodigy
06. Moby
07. London Elektricity
08. Nu:Tone
09. Moloko
10. Sum 41
11. DJ Fresh
12. System of a Down
13. Rammstein
14. Matisyahu
15. Blümchen
16. Propellerheads
17. Gorillaz
18. Roni Size
19. Van Halen
20. High Contrast

In the meantime, I thought it would be nice to make a list of my favourite albums.
I listen to albums most of the time, instead of singles or even songs by themselves. So this list also will give a fairly accurate summary of my favourite songs:

01. The Fake Sound of Progress
02. Start Something
03. Meteora
04. Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
05. Liberation Transmission
06. All Killer No Filler
07. Hybrid Theory
08. Mutter
09. Decksandrumsandrockandroll
10. Billion Dollar Gravy
11. Escape from Planet Monday
12. Weekend World
13. Minutes To Midnight
14. Catalogue
15. Toxicity
16. Idealism
17. Lovehatetragedy
18. Return to V
19. Significant Other
20. Youth

This is just a summary of my musical taste since I joined Last.fm, back in March 2006. So it took me roughly 18 months to play 10,000 songs.

I am looking forward to my next 10,000 scrobbles, so I can compare my taste, and see its evolution.
When that time has come, I will write another journal, so you guys can see it too.

Feel free to comment,

Michael
