i think wilco wins this round

i would like to point out that in the battle of the smiths, zach totally beat elliott, and im not sure what to think of that (beyond tremendous amusement, natch)

[alexandra]

ha! i listened to much much more elliott than that, but it was like one song on repeat for an hour and they don't count em. so, truth be told, elliott might have actually beat out JV.

(also, i left itunes on when i went to sleep at "wilco" and well... w,x,y,z....

[coldforge]

it means i am the greatest composer of our day, is what it means.

[Heathcote]

who is zach smith? i love eliott smith, didn't know he had a musical brother/father/other relative

[alexandra]

oh he does.

[stephanie]

wherein I FINALLY get around to listening to sElf's Ornament & Crime, only to discover it is A COMPLETELY UNDENIABLE GODDAMNED MASTERPIECE

(thanks, James!  )





(ETA:  if you want yrs to be all pretty, go here)

[justinh]

what a fun idea.

1 The Rolling Stones 29

2 The Duke Spirit 27

3 Between the Buried and Me 25

4 Eagles of Death Metal 24

5 The Gun Club 22

6 Faces 15

7 Spoon 13

8 Arab Strap 12

9 Neil Young 11

9 Bell Orchestre 11

I've gotta credit John for this week's emphasis on the Stones, as it was all Some Girls, and whoever talked up Between the Buried and Me (Pook? Blake?) for turning me on to that.  Great stuff.

[WhereTheSlimeLive]

well, iTunes tells me I've listened to 146 tMG songs this week

edit: and 48 Marvin Gaye tunes

[Lalitree]

I've been working on stuff that requires concentration, so lots of instrumental stuff this week, but mostly I didn't get much listened to, hence the short list:

1 John Zorn 21
2 The Streets 12
3 John Adams 7

[Lalitree]

PS - Yay, Stephanie, Christine Fellows!

[Heathcote]

9 Bell Orchestre 11

i can't make my mind up about them...

[diesel_powered]

My week has been pretty much iTunes-free.

It's largely due to the fact that all my mp3s are on my external hard drive and I can no longer wander the house on the internet while listening to music from my shitty laptop speakers.

[Heathcote]

it's awful how i let audioscrobbler dictate my life, i would like to listen to music on my bigger better bassier speakers, but then it would not come up on audioscrobbler, so i can't  

[Lalitree]

You could get one of those gadgets that sends your music from the computer to your stereo, maybe?

[alexandra]

some times, when i'm really bored, i like to watch my artists "race" for most played.

[Heathcote]

oh defo, i'm just lazy...

more than anything i need to get a whole new sound system. mine is one of those 80 quid home entertainment things, which is basically a few speakers a bass amp and a dvd player, that all work like one, so you lose 60% of the sound if you try plug in a vinyl or tape player or something. and that is just not on, i'm not gunna go downstairs when i want to listen to my vinyls

so when i get a new one of those, i'll try make everything WIRELESS

[justinh]

9 Bell Orchestre 11

i can't make my mind up about them...

me neither.  But decent post-rock is a valuable commodity these days, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, for now.

Wait, you mean, one of these gadgets?

[Heathcote]

Wait, you mean, one of these gadgets?

i've got one of those, it works okay, but i lost one i got, my mum stole the next one i got, and i lost the third one i got, so i've got none of those

[Lalitree]

Well I meant one of those wireless systems, but yeah, those work too.

[alexandra]
