Here is a fun post in honor of me going back to my part-time schedule tomorrow and being productive for the last 27 days of summer (WHERE DID THAT TIME GO?!):
The formula is taken from my last FM stats. This captures i-tunes, i-pods, Spotify, all of it. Also, I looked at each time increment captured and got an average that is representative of long and short term listening habits.
1. MY FAVORITE LISTENING FORUM:
-Spotify. It’s not perfect, and it always craps out when I try to use it to sync my i-pod, but it has almost everything and it’s free. Sure, I could do without the ads, especially the ones that jump under my mouse when I scroll, but it’s still less spammy then Apple.
2. FAVORITE ARTIST (most to least played status)
-Brandi Carlile avg 2nd
-Indigo Girls avg 7th = DMB avg 7th
-Maroon 5 avg 8th
-Mumford & Sons avg 9th
-Taylor Swift avg 10th
3. FAVORITE SONG LYRICS
-Right now, “Age of Worry” by John Mayer resonates with me
4. TOP PLAYED SONG
-in the last 6 months = Brandi Carlile’s remake of “Take Me Home, Country Roads”
– for the last year = Brandi Carlile “Hard Way Home”
-overall = Taylor Swift “Mean”
5. TOP PLAYED BAND
-still the Indigo Girls overall with 6,253 listens
-in the last year, DMB = 1,441 listens
-past 6 months = Brandi Carlile = 448 listens
6. BEST STUDY MUSIC
-Vitamin String Quartet
-I like the fast movements of Tbilisi Orchestra
7. BEST RUNNING MUSIC
-“Here Comes the Boom,” Nelly
-“Lose Yourself,” Eminem
-“My Time,” Fabolous
8. BEST DRIVING MUSIC
-John Denver
-Trampled by Turtles

Can I just say A] I must be tired because I’ve been working on this post for a ridiculous 2 hours now and B] I am now totally obsessed with watching DMB on YouTube now? There is everything! The show I actually saw at the Gorge, official videos, lyrics, and fan stuff!!!! I never go on YouTube–THIS must be the reason, it’s a vortex-time-stealing machine. . .
